Family strife may dominate right now, perhaps because of a recent loss. Repairs or renovations at home or on a vehicle require your attention. Don't put off issues at home. Instead, face them directly, speaking from the heart. Your parents may offer or look to you for support. Newfound freedom empowers you at all levels. Spiritually and intellectually you feel free. An adventure or task breaks the monotony of recent days. Avoid rash decisions. You are at your best when you apply introspection to the choices before you.

Ready, set, goals! Today, motivated Mars blasts into Cancer and your ambitious tenth house after spending seven long months in Gemini and your philosophical, adventurous ninth. It’s not like you haven’t accomplished anything since last August, Libra. Quite the contrary! But now, with the driven planet revving things up until May 20, you can fast-track a goal you set aside or throw the old ones out and start from scratch. Just watch for the obsessive workaholism that Mars can inspire. Balance that out by building in plenty of inspired playtime! On Sunday, articulate Mercury aligns with healing Chiron in Aries and your relationship realm. If you’ve been trying to ignore that 800-pound neon pachyderm in the room, it’s time to take off the dark shades and call it for what it is. Start by looking at your own needs and expectations. If you’re not clear on them, how can you hope someone will fulfill them?
