Aries
There’s so much going on in your star sign this month that you might need to take a breather now and again. And, the stars are in agreement. Yes, it’s Aries season and you have the planet of love Venus in your star sign from the 5th to the 29th. You may enjoy the thrill of the chase in April. Or, perhaps you choose self-love.
Yet, talk planet Mercury is moving back through Aries from the 1st to the 25th, an ideal time to stop and reassess where you’re heading and why, especially if things aren’t working out. Focus on your personal goals, be self-analytical, stop and think. Events on or around the powerhouse Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th could lead you in a new personal direction, one that’s potentially healing in the long run.
Money is one area that may ask a lot. If you’re a bold Aries, take a risk on the 21st and trust your intuition on the 23rd. And, with your ruler Mars in spiritual Pisces, the more you’re in tune with the universe, the more your chances of success.
Taurus
Being a Taurus, you have an introvert side to your nature. This month, you may have more than one reason why you want to hide away or you need to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of life. Your ruler Venus is in Aries and the most hidden sector of your horoscope from the 5th to the 29th.
This aligns with talk planet Mercury’s retrograde phase, also in Aries, from the 1st to the 25th. Both planets are encouraging you to turn inwards for answers, listen to your inner voice and practise self-love. Events on or around the Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th could tell you more about why healing is a major theme for you this month.
Yet, as the month goes on, you might find you’re pulled back out into the world. A social event on the 19th could prove revelatory and be the catalyst that you need to take a leap of faith. The 21st could be spiritual or life-changing. Or, perhaps a time when you’re ready to embrace freedom wholeheartedly.
Gemini
Action planet Mars continues the dynamic motion through your career sector throughout April. Whatever changes or plans were put in place over the last month or so, be assertive and keep moving things forward. You need both persistence and faith to make waves, but it’s worth pushing ahead.
Aries rules your friendship and group sector and it’s here where there’s potentially drama, love and misunderstandings. It’s a complex mix of planetary energies. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde in Aries from the 1st to the 25th. This might be the time when you take a step back from a friendship or group activity. Or, perhaps you’re on a waiting list to join an exclusive club.
Love planet Venus is here too from the 5th to the 29th. Love and friendship could take off and fast. Yet, perhaps you can’t declare your love or know your true feelings until later in the month. If you’re seeking something more to life, events on or around the 21st could deliver. A crash course in spiritual enlightenment?
Cancer
Set your sights high this month, Cancer, but take your time to sign or seal a deal. Aries season always encourages you to focus on your future path, where you’re heading and why. A powerhouse Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th could be the portal to a new career direction or sense of vocation.
Yet, talk planet Mercury is retrograde in Aries from the 1st to the 25th, encouraging you to read the small print and negotiate hard. If you’re seeking work or a new role, it’s an ideal time to go back to an old contact. Love planet Venus is in Aries too, from the 5th to the 29th. There’s no harm in using your charm to boost your career, as long as you don’t fall into the trap of mixing business with pleasure.
If you’re finding the call of the world too loud and stressful, turn to your friends for laughter and good times. A big adventure on or around the 19th could be the soothing balm to a lively and potentially dramatic month ahead.
Leo
Fire sign energy leaps in this month as there’s so much going on in star sign Aries. You may have a burning desire to get away, go on holiday, seek religion or turn your life around. The Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th could be the trigger that sets things in motion.
Yet, Mercury retrograde in Aries from the 1st to the 25th could bring some frustration. Or, a reminder that patience is a virtue. It would be the perfect Mercury retrograde to take time out and take a look at your life from a fresh perspective. Love planet Venus is in Aries from the 5th to the 29th, a classic symbol of a holiday romance. Or, perhaps you fall in love with a new mode of learning.
You can’t ignore money and work either, with key planetary activity revving up both sectors of your horoscope. Drive a hard bargain when it comes to finances. In your career or future path, the new beckons. Leap into an entrepreneurial activity on the 21st and sign and seal that important deal close to the Full Moon on the 23rd.
Virgo
Money makes the world go round and this month’s emphasis lies on finances in your horoscope. With your ruling planet Mercury retrograde in Aries and your joint finance sector from the 1st to the 25th, it’s an ideal time to review your budget. Work out what’s coming in and what’s going out of your bank account.
Venus is in Aries from the 5th to the 29th encouraging you to spend, while Mercury retrograde indicates the opposite. Events on or around the Solar Eclipse on the 8th may help galvanise you into action and decide on the right option for you. Perhaps, you’re willing to take a punt and invest in an educational course or line up funds for a sabbatical abroad.
Foreign connections are part of your future path once the Sun enters Taurus on the 19th. Set off somewhere new on the 21st. Passion remains a powerful attraction, even if more arguments take place. At least, it gives you an opportunity to kiss and make up.
Libra
Your ruling planet Venus is in Aries and your opposite star sign from the 5th to the 29th. This suggests a passionate encounter when love is foreground. However, talk planet Mercury retrograde in Aries from the 1st to the 25th suggests that love may have to be kept private until Mercury switches direction. Certainly, you can’t be sure about another person’s intentions when Mercury’s on go slow.
Yet, that might not stop you leaping into a new partnership, on or around the Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th. Or, there could be some deep healing involved, linked to a past relationship. One way or another, you’re going to be learning a lot from your one-to-ones in the month ahead, both personally and professionally.
Work and money are also under the cosmic radar. Find a healthy routine that works for you, one that includes physical fitness. Keep your eye on the prize and you may be able to revolutionise your finances on the 21st or 23rd.
Scorpio
Your ruling planet Mars is in Pisces throughout April and wants to play, fall in love, be creative and have fun. Yet, this month you can’t go with the flow as much as you would like, as work and health dominate. This is because there’s so much going on in star sign Aries, ruling the routine sector of your horoscope and your lifestyle.
This is where the Solar Eclipse falls on the 8th, which can be a trigger to start something completely new. A diet, a ritual, a volunteering role – say yes to a path which benefits your mind, body or soul. Yet, with Mercury retrograde from the 1st to the 25th, you’re wise to slow things down, especially if you’re busy. It may seem like reverse psychology but it works. Prioritise your well-being.
The planet of relating Venus is in Aries from the 5th to the 29th, a reminder that teamwork and delegation can help. Yet, it’s love that could be revelatory on or around the 21st. A powerful Full Moon in Scorpio on the 23rd seals the deal.
Sagittarius
Fire sign energy kicks in big-time and you might feel as if 2024 is finally getting underway. It’s all going on in the star sign Aries, which rules pleasure, fun, romance, children and creativity in your horoscope. Line up some big entertainment in the month ahead.
However, with talk planet Mercury retrograde from the 1st to the 25th, you might have to tread gently with someone in your life, perhaps a child or lover. Events on or around the 8th could prove revealing. Take your foot off the accelerator and let things be until you have more information about what’s going on. You may feel the sap rising with love planet Venus in Aries from the 5th to the 29th. Yet, any new love affair could be short-lived. That doesn’t mean don’t enjoy yourself if you get the opportunity to do so.
Your home and family life may demand a more assertive approach. And, when it comes to your work or your health, events on or around the 21st and 23rd could move things forward at a fast pace.
Capricorn
The worlds of communication and community are firing on all cylinders throughout April. Keep on track with what you want to achieve and step into your authority on or around the 10th. Home and family could be where dramas are rife as there’s a lot going on. The Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th falls in this part of your horoscope. A more assertive approach may be required. Where in life are you starting over?
Yet, with talk planet Mercury retrograde in Aries from the 1st to the 25th, it’s wise to take your time and review things carefully. Perhaps, you’re in contact with someone from your past and this impacts your future path. Love planet Venus is in Aries from the 5th to the 29th, an ideal time to beautify your home and work on your family relationships.
Something is growing and emerging as April progresses and events on or around the 21st could coincide with a birth or a fresh start. If you’re ready to start over, take a leap of faith.
Aquarius
The communication airwaves hit over-drive this month as there’s a lot to talk about, negotiate and debate. The Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th feels heated and controversial. If you’re a teacher or healer, this period in the month could prove pivotal for what next.
Yet, talk planet Mercury is retrograde in Aries from the 1st to the 25th. This is an ideal time to go back over old ground, review what’s already been said, revise and do research. Past connections or work could prove valuable. Love planet Venus is in Aries too, from the 5th to the 29th, a symbol of loving connections, perhaps reconnecting you with someone you loved and lost previously.
Money matters require your attention and you’re wise to stay on track with your long-term goals. It’s in your home and family sector where things are happening and fast. Events on or around the 21st could see new developments, followed by an intuitive Full Moon on the 23rd. This sets you on a new path.
Pisces
Action planet Mars remains in your star sign Pisces throughout April, encouraging you to be forward-moving and direct. Stay on track with your daily habits and disciplines and ensure that prayer or ritual are part of your everyday routine.
This month, however, the focus is firmly on finances and your own earnings in particular. The Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 8th could show where change is required. If a new money-making opportunity comes in, take note. Yet, talk planet Mercury is retrograde here from the 1st to the 25th. This favours a financial review rather than charging into something new. It’s often a sign that you need to be patient.
Love planet Venus in Aries from the 5th to the 29th favours indulgence and treating yourself. That’s fine to do, if you can afford it. This month could bring a steep learning curve around money, your values and self-worth. Finally, launch that podcast, website or get your book published on or around the 21st. Your stars are calling you out to find your voice.
