Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your guiding planet, Mars, is named for the god of war and guardian of agriculture. The ancients understood that peace could only be achieved if everyone was fed and their basic needs met. You carry that legacy of the great protector. Mars can be fierce, but it also has a tender side. 

This month, Neptune in Aries is quietly awakening your inner mystic. Neptune’s influence calls you to explore your dreams and spiritual yearnings. You’re more intuitive than usual. Stay open to subtle signs and synchronicities because they might just point you toward the next big adventure.

Mercury stations direct on April 7, and you can feel clarity returning to your conversations and decision-making processes. Where there was a miscommunication, now there’s a resolution. Use this mental momentum wisely. Aries energy can sometimes surge ahead too fast, but this period asks you to harness that drive with a bit of caution. 

On April 12, we have two significant astrological events. First, the full moon shines a spotlight on your partnerships and relationships. It encourages you to renew a commitment or strengthen a bond through honest dialogue. Second, Venus stations direct, bringing harmony back into your relationships. This is a sweet alignment for new romantic possibilities or simply enjoying time with friends. Your ruling planet, Mars, takes center stage on April 17 when it enters fiery Leo. This shift can turbocharge your creativity, passion, and sense of fun. 

Finally, the Taurus new moon on April 27 offers a quieter moment to plant seeds for future endeavors. This lunation can help you cultivate a steady foundation under your feet, so you can keep evolving without burning out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

April bursts forth with the power of the fire element, ignited by Aries sun (until April 19). Earth is the one element that contains fire. Think: fireplace or ceramic candle holder. You, born under an earth sign, can hold the heat this month. Mars is stirring the pot this month, presenting unexpected opportunities or conversations. Things are moving fast. How will you keep your balance amid the excitement? As the sun enters your sign on April 19, let the intensity settle into something more steady and familiar.

On April 7, Mercury goes direct, ending its retrograde journey and clarifying any communication or logistical issues you've faced. You'll see things more clearly, especially regarding your sense of community.

Venus, your ruling planet, stations direct on April 12, helping you gain perspective on relationships, both personal and professional. The Libra full moon, also on April 12, highlights balance, reminding you to take time to bask in beauty. 

The sun enters your sign on April 19, marking the start of your birthday season! With the spotlight on you, it's a time to reflect on your personal growth, desires, and the relationships that nourish you. Your energy will shift toward self-expression, and you’ll find that others naturally gravitate toward your grounded presence.

The Taurus new moon on April 27 invites you to set intentions for the coming year. This is a powerful moment to plant seeds for the future, particularly around your values, finances, and personal identity. Trust that the universe is aligning to support your growth. As the month wraps up, you’ll find yourself more rooted, steady, and aligned with your true purpose.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As Jupiter moves through your sign, here’s your cosmic message: you don’t have to nurture after every seedling idea planted in your life. The key this month is discernment. Trust your instincts and commit to what excites you with clarity and purpose.

April 7 brings a turning point as Mercury, your ruling planet, stations direct. If you've felt like you've been moving in circles or stuck in a fog, you’ll feel a fresh breeze of clarity. Communication will flow more smoothly, and decisions that have been lingering in the air will finally begin to fall into place. 

Then, on April 12, Venus stations direct, helping you gain perspective on your relationships—both personal and professional. If you’ve felt a bit uncertain or out of sync in these areas, Venus’s direct motion invites you to reconnect, especially with those who inspire your soul. The Libra full moon on April 12 brings the spotlight to the balance between your personal goals and your commitments to others. It’s a beautiful opportunity to reflect on how you show up for your community and where you might need to pull back or recalibrate.

Mars opposes Pluto on April 26. If there’s something you've been holding back or resisting, expect it to surface now. This is a powerful moment for deep, meaningful change, but it requires you to face some uncomfortable truths. Lean into any challenges life sends your way.

As the sun enters Taurus on April 19, the energy shifts. This earthy, grounded sign invites you to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. The Taurus new moon on April 27 invites you to have a spiritual breakthrough. End the month with a healing experience—a sound bath or meditative retreat. 
 

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

With the sun blazing in warrior-sign Aries, you may sense movement in your life story—situations that nudge you to take a stand or stretch beyond your comfort zone. Around April 4, the cosmic energy may feel especially intense, and you’ll want to find healthy ways to channel any restlessness.

Neptune in Aries subtly influences your career and sense of purpose. You could become more aware of your dreams—or even receive flashes of insight about your next steps. Trust your instincts. Mercury stations direct on April 7, clearing the mental fog and helping you find the right words for important conversations. If you’ve been juggling multiple responsibilities, this shift supports you in prioritizing what truly matters rather than fretting over minor details.

On April 12, two astrological events set the stage for breakthroughs. First, Venus stations direct, relieving tension in your relationships and finances. Second, the Libra full moon illuminates matters of home and family, encouraging you to balance your personal needs with your outer-world responsibilities. If you’ve been caught up in the swirl of obligations or internal worries, step back and look at the bigger picture. 

Mars enters Leo on April 17, boosting your confidence around financial matters and self-worth. You might feel more driven to stand up for yourself or ask for a raise. At the very least, you’ll be more motivated to invest in your talents and passions. Finally, as the sun enters Taurus on April 19, it prepares you for a cathartic end of the month. The Taurus  new moon on April 27 opens a fresh chapter in your social life. New friendships, group affiliations, or networking opportunities might crop up, and they could be key to your future success.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Music and astrology are both grounded in principles of harmonics—the interplay of dissonance and harmony. Your life may seem like this right now. With the sun in fellow fire-sign Aries until April 19, you’re ready for a burst of forward momentum. Some of it will be thrilling, and some might be downright challenging—but each note contributes to the overall soundtrack of your life.

We enter April with Venus and Mercury still in their retrograde journey. Mercury stations direct on the seventh, and Venus on the 12th, making mid-month a time of energized action. Curiosity enlivens your sense of adventure. Let the Libra full moon on April 12 be a time of exploration and play. 

In relationships, misunderstandings can clear after April 12, and you can better articulate your bold ideas with ease. Neptune in Aries invites you on a mystical journey, indicating a time when your dreams wander and imagination soars. The full moon highlights your beliefs and faith. Keep an open mind, noticing conversations and insights that come your way. They can spark creative projects or new endeavors.

Mars, the warrior planet, moves into your sign on April 17—cue the drumroll. This transit amplifies your natural leadership qualities, fueling you with extra drive and passion. Just be mindful of any tendency to overdo it or to bulldoze those who aren’t moving at your speed. Lastly, the new moon on April 27 signals the potential for change in your career or public life. Eclipses and lunations often mark turning points, so consider setting intentions for professional growth or a fresh chapter in how you shine your light in the world.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

How many times have you read your sign’s keywords and seen “worry” on the list? Those astrology references have it all wrong! Yours is the sign that corresponds to wheat. What a metaphor! In ancient times, wheat was synonymous with fertility and abundance. There are numerous sacred texts that reference wheat in some form or another. What others call “worry” is your draw toward the sacred—culling the valuable grain from the debris. Life presents chaotic news stories, seasonal storms, and other stressors. Can you see the sacred in it all and separate the fear? 

This month has lightning-strike energy, which could mean excitement. Mars is quite active in the skies. It enters Leo on April 17, highlighting a reconnection with passion. Relationships get a reboot mid-month, especially with the Libra full moon on April 12. Venus stations direct that day, helping clear confusion or alleviating concerns. Your guiding planet, Mercury, stations direct on April 7, tilting every area of your life back into balance. 

Venus forms a favorable trine aspect to Mars on April 6, catalyzing a relationship breakthrough. It's a time of radical self-love through self-acceptance, and that's the key to true love with another. Attune yourself to the voice of wisdom inside. Ask, what do I most need to learn at this time? What do I most need to open? 

If you're willing to embark on an adventure, there's an exciting road ahead. As the sun enters Taurus on April 19, you feel more hopeful. Be present in peace – it's what the world needs now. If you feel stuck, find some way to volunteer. The new moon on April 27 highlights your belief in the goodness of others.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Libra, you are the peacemaker of the zodiac, but we’re living in a time that can feel anything but peaceful. This month, if you find yourself exhausted from the warring factions of the world or the argumentative people in your life, focus on restoring your inner peace. When conflict stirs, I recite the “Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi” in my mind:

“Make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love.”

Make it your mantra throughout Aries season. It’s a time of high energy, but also tough choices. If you’re wrestling with indecision, trust that life offers second chances. On April 4, Mars squares dwarf planet Eris, rousing discord. Muster your courage. Before saying “yes” to new projects or piling on more responsibilities, establish firm boundaries. Seek extra support if you need it—there’s no weakness in asking for help.

The Libra full moon on April 12 highlights how easily you can lose yourself by focusing on external expectations. Watch for any tension you feel around this lunation, and allow it to guide you toward a healthier balance. The sun enters Taurus on April 19, toning down the Aries heat and anchoring you into the present moment. 

Then, on April 27, the new moon draws you deeper into your core, helping you navigate the past with clear vision. Remember, mystical Neptune is in your opposite sign, forcing you to feel your way through the fog of confusion. Don’t shy away from conflict. Meet it with the grace of a true peacemaker, and let it lead you to more authentic connections and self-awareness.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

For the past seven years, you’ve braved Uranus’s surprises, upsets, and mischief. The cosmic tides are turning, but not quite yet. This month offers spiritual (and maybe even magical) breakthroughs, especially around April 12: Venus stations direct and the Libra full moon shines. When the planet of connection goes direct, you may feel renewed hope. Call it divine timing, luck, or grace, synchronicities and serendipitous encounters will help you realize you’re not alone. Sometimes, all you have to do is allow the magic to flow.

Around April 4, Mars challenges dwarf planet Eris, stirring some discord for progressive change. Stay aware of your boundaries to avoid burnout. Mercury stations direct on April 7, helping you finalize agreements, settlements, or negotiations. Relationships come back online after a period of missed connections, shifts, or bewilderment. Expect April 7-12 to feel like a retrospective of the past several months. Perhaps some of the challenges you’ve faced will clear up on their own. 

Mid-month, Mercury in Aries (after April 15) highlights themes of balance and well-being. What do you need to sustain your passions and protect your energy? Listen to your body and honor its wisdom. 

On April 19, the sun moves into Taurus—your opposite sign—calling attention to relationships. With a solar eclipse on April 30, you’re poised for a breakthrough in how you love, connect, and collaborate. If you’ve felt on the brink of change, this eclipse can tip the scales, helping you deepen bonds or let go of relationships that have run their course.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You’re firing on all cylinders! Aries season revs up your motivational engines, prompting you to charge forward with gusto. But here’s the key: notice when distraction sneaks in as a subtle strategy to avoid pushing beyond your comfort zone. Around April 4, Mars challenges dwarf planet Eris and harmonizes with Uranus and Saturn, offering a moment to pause and check in with your deeper desires. If conflicts—inner or outer—bubble up, see them as part of the process of discernment. They’re nudging you to clarify what you really want.

As life speeds up, remember the value of spending time in nature. Even two hours a week can work wonders for your mind and spirit. This advice rings especially true around April 12, when Jupiter (your ruler) meets Neptune in a rare and mystical transit. You could experience an expanded sense of compassion, connection, and even spiritual awakening. Let these cosmic currents carry you into experiences that open your heart, whether through meditation, creative exploration, or any activity that lifts your spirit.

On April 19, the sun enters Taurus, ushering in a phase of renewal and reminding you to slow down enough to appreciate the present moment. Then, on April 30, a solar eclipse spotlights your work, responsibilities, and perhaps your daily routines. Eclipses reveal what was previously hidden, so don’t be surprised if you uncover new truths about your vocation—or realize you’re ready for a bold change. As a truth-seeking Sagittarius, you thrive on revelations that broaden your horizons. Trust that the information you need is waiting to be discovered. All you have to do is stay open, remain curious, and follow the inner spark that guides you toward ever-greater growth.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

You’re one of the zodiac's brilliant minds, always scanning the horizon for the next opportunity, conversation, or spark of inspiration. But with all that mental energy, you might also have a tendency to dive into the worst-case scenarios when making decisions. You can see all the possible outcomes, good and bad. However, April invites you to have radical faith in the face of fear. It’s a time to trust that the universe is supporting you and believe in the best-case scenario. 

On April 7, Mercury goes direct, bringing clarity to your mindset and communications. If things have felt stuck or foggy, your mind will begin to feel sharper. Decisions that seemed challenging to make will start to come into focus. The fog lifts, and you’re back on track.

Venus stations direct on April 12, giving you fresh insights into your relationships and your home life. If you’ve been reevaluating your living space, this shift helps you gain clarity. Around the same time, the Libra full moon illuminates the need to balance your personal goals and your community involvement. It’s an ideal time to assess how you show up for others and whether it aligns with your bigger picture.

Mars, the planet of action, makes a bold move this month when it opposes Pluto on April 26. This can stir up deep emotions or raise conflicts to a boiling point. It may feel like you’re being pushed to the edge, but this tension could bring breakthroughs, forcing you to face any fears holding you back.

The month closes with the Taurus new moon on April 27. It’s an excellent time for planting seeds, tending to your garden, or enjoying your favorite relaxation exercise.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

This month, you may find yourself navigating the tension between your ideals and the practical steps needed to bring them to life. The key to this month is balance: embracing your vision while staying grounded in the present moment. There's no need to rush ahead or force things. Instead, trust that the universe is unfolding in perfect timing, and your unique perspective will lead you to where you need to be.

On April 7, Mercury stations direct, clearing the mental fog and bringing much-needed clarity. If you’ve been feeling uncertain or bogged down by miscommunications, you’ll find that things start to fall into place. This is especially helpful in your professional life. You'll feel a renewed sense of focus and motivation.

Then, on April 12, Venus stations direct, helping you gain clarity around relationships, both personal and professional. The full moon on April 12 illuminates your personal growth and your deeper emotional needs. This lunation asks you to reflect on the balance between your individuality and the connections you share with others. Are you honoring both? Are you nurturing the relationships that nurture you?

As the sun enters Taurus on April 19, the energy shifts toward stability and comfort until April 26, when Mars opposes Pluto in a power-packed transit. It’s an opportunity to face any fears or obstacles holding you back. Use this energy to break free from limiting patterns and take control of your destiny.

Finally, the Taurus new moon on April 27 invites you to set intentions around your resources, values, and long-term goals. This new moon could bring a significant shift in family relationships, allowing you to feel more deeply rooted and connected with those you love.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

April presents you with spiritual awakenings and otherworldly insights. Neptune is moving through Aries, helping you walk the liminal space between the visible and invisible realms. The planet of dreams in the warrior sign asks you to prioritize psychic protection. Try not to let distractions live in your mind rent-free. People will be drawn to your wisdom, but you can choose whether or not to engage with them. 

On April 7, Mercury goes direct, clearing up confusion and clarifying your thoughts and decisions. Then, Venus stations direct on April 12, bringing insights into relationships and finances. It’s a supportive time to reassess financial fears and see if they are only illusions. 

The full moon on April 12 highlights your financial well-being. Mercury enters Aries on April 15 helping you cross the tax deadline finish line. Attend to practical considerations early in the month. After April 19, when the Taurus sun shines, you may need some space of your own for creative activities. 

As the sun enters Taurus on April 19, you’ll feel a pull toward new connections and communities. Whether it’s joining a new group or considering a move, the energy is ripe for expanding your circle and embracing change.

The month culminates with Mars opposite Pluto on April 26, a tough transit that concludes a cycle that started in July 2024. This transit pushes you to break free from old patterns. The Taurus new moon on April 27 brings a fresh start, especially in writing, education, or technology. Trust the unfolding process—big shifts are ahead.
