This month kicks off with a Mercury retrograde beginning on April 1 in Aries. This retrograde period will create a massive change in your sense of self and the way others perceive you. You are going through an undeniable upgrade, but it’s important that you stay focused. It can be easy to get swept away by sudden and newfound change, but you are being urged to ground yourself and root into what you know to be true. Lean on good friends and your support system to remind you that you are enough, you are worthy of good things happening, and you can trust yourself in every chapter of your life.
Taurus — Ace of Cups

When Jupiter teams up with Uranus in Taurus on April 20, you might feel like everything you’ve been dreaming of is finally coming to fruition. There are going to be several opportunities for you to free yourself from relationships, habits, and environments that no longer work for you and where your life is headed. You will notice sudden, but necessary shifts in your relationships that ultimately lead you to a sense of comfort and security with the ones you let into your life. Friends will become chosen family, and meant-to-be lovers will potentially take the next steps of life with you. Believe in the best-case scenario now.
Gemini — Judgement

This month is all about bringing a sense of community and togetherness into your life. Yes, you can do things on your own and get them done with proficiency, but are you simply creating a life that keeps you overworked and underwhelmed by putting this much pressure on yourself? When the solar eclipse in Aries arrives on April 8, you will start to see that you have a choice to live in a more surrendered and supported way. Try to join a weekly class, group, or hobby space before the month is over. April is all about aligning with your soul family and kicking that lonely feeling to the curb.
Cancer— Four of Wands

You are feeling an urgent need to make a big change, and you are right. Now is the time for you to jump ship from the situation that is holding you back, which will finally catapult you into a new opportunity that allows you to spread your wings. However, freedom is not only found in solitude. It’s important to remind yourself that the right people will want to watch you shine and thrive without restriction. You will start to notice this when the full moon shines in Scorpio on April 23. Give yourself the chance to grow alongside the right people with this lunation, and say “no” to anyone who tries to make you feel small or insecure.
Leo —Seven of Swords

With Mercury stationing retrograde in fiery Aries on April 1, you will need to make sure that you are picking your words wisely. There might be a few people in your life who feel like they’ve been put on the back burner in favor of others who take up more of your time and energy. Instead of getting defensive, understand that you are being shown how much others want your attention! Take this into consideration as you start to reallocate your time and energy throughout the month in order to find alignment. You may be surprised at who you actually want to spend time with versus who you have been habitually spending your time with.
Virgo— The Wheel of Fortune

The world may have felt dizzying and confusing to you lately, but in April, all of your questions will be answered. When Venus enters Taurus on April 29, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. No longer will you be stuck in the dark about what your purpose is or where your life is headed. Instead, a sense of empowerment and success will arrive, leaving you with a deep trust in yourself and your own capabilities. Allow yourself to relish in all of the new and exciting opportunities heading your way after you learn how to take care of yourself and put yourself first!
Libra — Temperance
<imageviewer>7</imageviewer>
When the new moon solar eclipse in Aries arrives on April 8, you might feel like your world is falling apart, but this is your reminder that all good things come with time and effort. You are going through a transformative time that will eventually lead you to true joy and contentment. Do not give up on all of the powerful blessings that are headed your way! If there is anyone who is deserving of these gifts, it is you. The hard work and dedication to your dreams have not been done in vain. This month will remind you that it’s important to focus on the silver lining when you feel like giving up.
Scorpio — The Star
<imageviewer>8</imageviewer>
There is an opening for you this month to take action on something you’ve been stagnating on. If you’ve been letting your fear get the best of you and making decisions based out of doubt or insecurity, all of that will end when the full moon shines in Scorpio on April 23. You will finally be able to see these fears with clarity, tell them, “You are safe. I’ve got this,” and take that leap of faith! Have trust in your own abilities to move forward and leave the past behind you. You will thank yourself later on when you realize how pivotal your risk-taking was this month.
Sagittarius — Five of Swords

Have you recently won a battle? You will start to see how others change their tune about who you are and how you showed up to this situation around April 5, when Venus enters Aries. You may have felt like the world was out to get you, but this month, that feeling will start to melt away. Spring has sprung, and you are thawing out after a long, hard winter. Give yourself some grace and allow yourself time to rest and recover. You are in the position to move forward with confidence now as the world wakes up to who you are without the perception being skewed.
Capricorn — Three of Cups

With so many things worth celebrating this month, are you willing to make the time to let people in? It can be challenging to ask others to jump for joy alongside you, but when you know that you have something powerful to share with the world, why not allow others to amplify this story with you? Two voices are more powerful than one, but a dozen voices are enough to get some real attention! There is something you are deeply passionate about bringing into the world, so how can you get there if you aren’t making waves? Use the energy of this month’s new moon solar eclipse in Aries on April 8 to bring your message to the center stage. It’s okay for you to take up space now.
Aquarius — Three of Pentacles

With so much compassion in your heart, you will be asked to put your pride aside and finally make the changes that you want to see in the world. There will be a chance for you to upgrade your space in the zeitgeist around the Scorpio full moon on April 23. Your career path is not the only way you can make an impact, but if it acts as a vehicle to get you there (through resources, a platform, or your network and connections), then why not give it a try? Do your best to stay focused on the end goal. There may be ups and downs as you try to make this shift, but ultimately, the more you collaborate, call on your connections, and put yourself out there, the better. This is your time to shine, and trust that you are doing this for the betterment of humanity. Don’t give up! True change is about to be made.
Pisces — Ace of Wands

This month, you’re ready to get serious about your career path and the time ahead. If this means budgeting, planning, or using your calendar more effectively, then don’t be afraid to tighten your approach up and restrategize how you’re running your life. With Mercury retrograding through Aries starting April 1, this month gives you very little downtime. Instead, focus on reorganizing your life, but start with your daily habits before working your way into weekly schedules and ultimately setting yourself up for life-long success from this month onward. Your dreams are important, but realizing the part you play in their success is even more important.
