Your Monthly Horoscope for April Is Officially Here
Aries season asks us to be bold and take risks to bring our dreams to life.
Welcome to the blooming and comforting month of April! This month will offer us many opportunities to align with the stars and bring our dreams to life. We enter April still amid Aries season, which asks us to be bold and take risks to get to where we’re trying to go. This is a great time to bring vibrant and exciting pieces into your home that will help you tap into a more self-assured and confident energy!
The month begins with a Mercury Retrograde in Aries starting on April 1 and staying with us until April 25. During this transit, you will notice you are tapping into the past in order to align your unique style to the present. This is a great time to reconnect with your inner child and have some fun inside of your space, and out! On the very next day, we have Venus, the planet of beauty and love entering bold Aries on April 5. Venus encourages us to tap into our likes, our aesthetic preferences, and ultimately our heart’s desires. What kind of fun could you cook up during this time?
On the 8th we have a major New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries, bringing more of the fire and really asking us to take action on the next chapter of our lives. On the 19th, Taurus season begins shifting us away from being so emblazoned, and instead asks us to rest and enjoy ourselves at a more languid pace. Soft, quiet, and calm is the mantra to repeat during Taurus season!
The final week of April offers us a chance to shine a light on the parts of ourselves that hold us back from true happiness and acceptance. When the Full Moon in Scorpio arrives on April 23 this will illuminate the darkest parts of our souls and remind us we must embrace *all* of ourselves, and not just the easy-to-digest parts. Mercury retrograde ends just a couple of days later on April 25 when Mercury stations direct in Aries, setting us free from the confusion and disorientation of a retrograde period. We will start to see a more grounded and self-assured version of ourselves emerging around the time Venus enters Taurus on April 29. This is a great time to bring luxurious and aesthetically pleasing pieces into our homes! The month ends with Mars (the planet of power, aggression, and action) entering bold Aries on April 30 and inviting us to actually *do* the things on our to-do lists. What’s the top priority to finish before you close out this magical month?
To learn more about how April will affect you personally, read on below for both your sun and rising sign to get the most accurate insights for the month ahead!
Aries
With the Mercury retrograde happening from April 1-25 in your sign, you might feel like you are moving in slow motion. The tasks and responsibilities you have may happen with a few hiccups in between, but this is nothing to fret about! Use this time, instead, to take inventory of your life, how you talk to yourself, and most importantly, how you express yourself. Remember this month that your life is not a race and that getting somewhere won’t prevent you from feeling detached from yourself. Time will not cure that disconnected feeling, only sitting with yourself and learning who you truly are will do that.
Taurus
When your ruling planet, Venus, enters Aries on the 5th, you will have a chance to look inward and ask yourself if you are truly happy with where your life is headed. If the answer is no, this month will be the perfect opportunity for you to make the changes that you want, not what’s trending and not what anyone else told you that you “should” do. Instead, this month will encourage you to listen to your own inner voice, even in the face of differing opinions, you need to tap into your intuition this month. Let yourself be guided by the things that look, feel, taste, and smell good and start to create a life that brings you authentic joy rather than manufactured joy.
Gemini
With your ruling planet, Mercury, in retrograde in the fiery sign of Aries from the 1st-25th, you might feel like you are at your wit’s end without the ability to fully express yourself. Instead of getting more angry with yourself, this will be a great month to start to find new outlets for your frustrations so that you can control them, instead of the other way around. Boxing, therapy, journaling, or changing your lifestyle can all have a profound impact on how you view yourself and your life as a whole. You are not required to carry around the heavy weight of your past, your pain, or your fears. Instead, use this month to put them down and support yourself in the ways you’ve always deserved to be supported.
Cancer
You are being called towards socialising and spending time with your wider net of friends and loved ones this month. When the sun enters Taurus on the 19th and encourages you to look towards the spaces and faces that you can rely on, you will notice that it’s much less about quantity and more about quality. This is also a great time for you to become your own best friend in a new way. Instead of feeling like life is constantly running you over or getting out of hand, try to get ahead of it this month. Set systems in place for you to feel at peace, accomplished, and excited for what’s next rather than pummeled by another “task” that comes up. If you get everything in order now, there will be much less cropping up to be “fixed” later on.
Leo
You are going to feel clear about what’s working for you and what’s not this month when the Full Moon in fellow fixed sign Scorpio arrives on the 23rd. This lunation is arriving in the middle of a Mercury Retrograde to remind you that even when things are moving fast, or feeling downright confusing, you will always be able to turn inward and rely on your own inner voice to get you through hard times. You are a resilient and capable being, but this month is going to remind you that it’s okay to simply take a “time out” and give yourself a break. Don’t layer chaos on top of chaos. Instead, try to remember that “no” is a complete answer to the things you don’t want to do.
Virgo
When Venus enters fellow earth sign, Taurus, on the 29th, you will start to feel a sense of rebirth in your life that makes you feel at peace. You’ve gone through some tough times recently, but all of that is being tucked away as you start this new chapter in your life with renewed energy and optimism. What’s bringing that version of you forward? It’s going to be small daily tasks and habits that remind you of your purpose again. Try to take a new approach to work, friendships, and routines. Be more open about what you like and say “no” to the parts of your habitual lifestyle that no longer resonate with you. You don’t always have to be “on” in order to love yourself or be loved by other people, Virgo. This month is a huge moment for self-acceptance and self-love to paint over your life.
Libra
When your ruling planet, Venus, enters into your sister sign Aries on the 5th and lights up your seventh house of partnerships and relationships, you might feel the sparks fly! You are being whisked away into a dreamier reality this month than ever before. You need to cooperate in this universal dance, however. Sitting at home won’t get you the results that you’re hoping for. Take some time this month to realise whether you are a morning person or a night owl. Whichever part of the day you thrive in the most, that’s when you should be outside and letting your inner light shine! Other people will be inexplicably drawn to you and now is the time for you to finally feel like you’re the one that’s calling the shots, not the one waiting for someone to call. Remember this month that you are the prize when it comes to dating, landing a new job, or finding aligned friends… but again, get out there!
Scorpio
When Mars (the planet of action, aggression, and passion) enters Aries on the 30th, you will start to feel like everything in your life is making sense again. Your daily habits are going to get a little extra spark from the stars, bringing you more power and motivation than you’ve felt in a while. You might have thought you were in a lull, but the universe is reminding you that even when you rest, you are not losing traction or time. Everything you want is happening in its own timeline, so try not to compare yourself to other people this month (if ever!). You are your own unique blend of traits and energy, giving other people a chance to see themselves more clearly when you are around. However, it’s important for you to stop and look at yourself in the mirror sometimes. Don’t forget who the most important person in your life really is… that’s you!
Sagittarius
April is going to be a fiery month, and there’s no one more equipped to handle the heat than you, Sag! This is going to feel like crunch time as deadlines hit, new chapters begin, and your dreams start to materialise. You are being called to take a big risk and leap of faith as April carries forward. With the Mercury retrograde in Aries from the 1st-25th, you might be asking “Is it really the right time?” and there is a resounding “Yes!” coming from the universe. If anything, you’ve been ready to take this leap for a while! With Aries lighting up your fifth house of romance, creativity, and pleasure, you might be meeting someone you love, taking your relationship to the next level, or simply diving into a project or hobby that’s been calling your name. Whatever (or whoever) it is, step fully in with both feet and don’t look back! Your time to shine is now.
Capricorn
You are going to feel like you never want to leave home this month, and if that’s what your gut is telling you, then it’s time to give yourself permission to rest at home more often. That does not mean that you have to lean into isolation. Instead, balance your time at home with groups, friends, overnight stays, and hosting whenever it’s possible for you. Try to become the gathering space for the ones you love. Themed dinner parties, watch parties and book clubs are all great ways to get together with your like-minded friends and start to feel like your home serves more purpose than a space to doom scroll. Allow yourself to be open to the many possibilities that life has to offer that don’t require you to go out as often!
Aquarius
This month will ask you to reassess your social circles in a way that you may have been avoiding. Instead of taking everyone’s comments and behaviours in stride, why not look at the long-term effects that other people’s presence has on your life? You are a unique, worthy, and deserving person who has so much to offer to the world. There are, however, other people who have traits that align with yours in a “puzzle piece” way rather than feeling like you have to settle for mediocre friendships, relationships, or communal spaces. This month you will have a chance to dive deeper into who you are and what you truly enjoy when you’re not conforming to the hobbies, interests, and humor of the people around you. Step outside of your comfort zone and see what (or who) is out there this month!
Pisces
This month will be all about getting your finances in order and truly stepping into the type of lifestyle that you want and deserve, Pisces! With Mercury, Venus, the sun and the moon all in Aries on the 8th, lighting up your second house of material possessions and money, you might feel like now is the time for you to get your bag. This is a great time to reassess any financial “blindspots” you might have, set a budget, and ultimately give yourself the chance to earn more and feel more worthy out in the world. You are such a powerful and special being, this month will only be a more clear reminder of who you really are and what you deserve in the world. Instead of waiting for other people to take notice, try to celebrate yourself with “forever pieces”, a nice getaway, or an investment into yourself through a class or workshop! You won’t regret whatever you are gifting yourself in April.
