Horoscope For Today: Friday, April 12, 2024

The Moon is drifting through the airy realm of Gemini today. Our collective emotional needs are temporarily swapped out for a more intellectual approach. This Friday, it’s all about communication and being mentally stimulated. Our mind is like an internet browser full of twenty tabs, jumping from site to site. 

Therefore, maintaining focus is crucial. As the moon squares impulsive Mars, we must be careful not to act on every thought that enters our brain. Further, the Moon has tension with Saturn, the planet of restrictions. While it is harder to access our heartfelt feelings, we certainly will be able to remain objective, serious, and detached.
