Your lookahead horoscope: April 12, 2026 | Canada Voices

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The union of Mars and Neptune on your birthday means you will know things without knowing how you know them this year. Your insights into other people’s motivations will give you a huge advantage in one-to-one situations. Don’t be afraid to use it.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Your ambition knows no bounds and when mind planet Mercury joins the sun and Mars in your sign this week you will know without a shadow of a doubt what you want and how you can get it. Look out world, Aries is coming through!

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You may feel a bit inhibited over the next few days as cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart takes its toll. The good news is that while you won’t be doing much in the world at large you will be thinking more.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You are not the sort to let others get away with statements you know are untrue and because of that you could find yourself in the middle of a big argument this week. It’s important that you win the argument, so don’t back down even an inch.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You may feel a bit out of your depth on the work front at the moment but in a way that might do you some good in that you will consciously avoid people whose ambitions clash with your own. You don’t HAVE to interact with them.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Go your own way and do your own thing and don’t spare even a moment’s thought for those who don’t agree with your methods. You have so much to do and only a limited amount of time in which to do it, so get going!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You can be amazingly stubborn at times and with your ruling planet Mercury about to leave the partnership area of your chart you won’t care in the slightest what other people think of your actions. You’re not following them, you’re following the money.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

When the going gets tough the tough get going and what occurs over the coming week will prove to anyone who may have doubted it that you are as tough as they come. You won’t suffer fools but you will make them aware of your presence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You have been trying a bit too hard of late, which over the next few days could lead to signs of fatigue. Take the hint and slow down for a while. Mercury’s change of signs on Tuesday makes that a good time to assess your priorities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

One of the best times of the year is here and though you may believe that you are operating at full capacity you will find even greater reserves of energy and enthusiasm over the next few days. What can you do with it? Anything you please!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

If you have been hiding your feelings about someone in recent days they won’t stay hidden for long. Mercury’s move into one of the more emotional areas of your chart this week will encourage you to speak up, and you will have plenty to say!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Although you might be inclined to go on the offensive this week the influence of Saturn in your chart warns you need to tread carefully. Most of all you need to watch what you say, because careless words could so easily be your downfall.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

What occurs over the next few days will call into question at least some of your values. At the very least you will no longer be able to coast along without worrying about the effects of your actions. Causes always have consequences.
