*April 2025 Monthly Horoscopes – Summaries*
Aries
Even with some retrograde activity this month, dear Aries, it’s a time of a personal new beginning. The Sun travels in your sign until the 19th, and you’re in the spotlight. It’s a time of more visibility and special attention to your personal plans, needs, hopes, and wishes.
Until the 12th, while Venus continues its retrograde, you can be focused on past relationships rather than pushing forward socially. There can be many second thoughts and some back-spinning occurring now. This doesn’t take away from your personal attractiveness and, in some cases, may add to it as you seem a little mysterious or hard to reach! It simply suggests that you may not know what you want.
Venus turns direct on the 12th but remains in the sign just behind yours until April 30th, suggesting some natural cautiousness and reticence in the love or affection department. Things will push forward once Venus re-enters your sign, but until then, you’re processing and digesting recent experiences, and you’re not quite ready to make big decisions.
Mercury is following a similar path, although Mercury moves more quickly than Venus: Mercury turns direct on the 7th and enters Aries on the 16th. As such, on a communications and mindset level, you’re coming into your own and catching up mentally sooner than you are on a heart level.
You’re in good shape for clearing out problem areas, even long-standing ones, through benefits to money matters, business, and personal things (material goods). It’s a time for practical yet innovative ways to improve your current financial state or confidence in your talents and self-worth. Meeting with someone or special information that helps you along can figure strongly as Saturn and Uranus harmonize.
Just after mid-month features some interesting shifts. By this time, Mercury and Venus have ended their retrogrades. Mercury moves into Aries on the 16th, and Mars moves into harmony with your sign on the 18th after a long hiatus. These put you in a better position to know what (and who) you want, but it’s also a good time to figure out how to get these things! Venus entering Aries on the 30th can help this theme along further.
Self-assertion is easy and natural from the 18th forward. Your romantic or creative life can heat up, although there can be some impatience in these areas. You’re seeking playful ways of expressing yourself. Slowly but surely, life feels a little more straightforward in love, pleasure, and comfort.
You’re more noticeable, connected, and engaged this month, and your personal impact is considerable. Especially with Mercury’s move into your sign on the 16th, you have more to say and share with others. When pursuing what and who you want, you’re direct, straightforward, and more confident than ever. You’re in an excellent position for decisiveness and credibility–you’re making a mark and leaving an impression. You might prefer to take the lead in mental tasks and make executive decisions.
The Full Moon in your partnership sector on the 12th prompts discoveries or epiphanies about your feelings or about a close relationship. If feelings of discontent magnify, they help motivate you to make improvements. Partnerships are changing, and this is a time when your needs for others become more apparent.
As the month advances, it becomes more and more about building your resources, manifesting results, and profiting from your talents rather than building your popularity and developing your personality.
Around the New Moon on the 27th, aim to start fresh with your money and business goals. The Sun begins its month-long transit of your resources sector on the 19th, and in the weeks following, you’re seeking a little more security and predictability than usual. It’s a good time to take stock, attend to your valuables, and better understand what you can accomplish. Your view of your capabilities is marked and realistic during this stabilizing cycle.
Pressures on the home front ease considerably from the 18th. Mars moves into your solar fifth house, ramping up your desires and animating your romantic life or creative world, and it’s a wonderful boost. This shift has been a long time coming! You’re confident and assertive and even more attractive than usual. Relationships are passionate now. You’re alert, ready to make changes, and willing to put yourself out there, and this is a winning combination. You can feel on fire with passion and creative energy, and your timing is much better than usual.
Taurus
While there can be the need or desire to restore your energy and turn inward at times in April, dear Taurus, personal attraction runs high and you have much to discover on a social level. Especially as April advances, you feel readier to share and enjoy yourself. It’s a powerful period for your plans and initiatives. You’re also going through some exciting inner changes.
The Sun spends much of the month in your privacy sector, keeping things low-profile. As well, your planetary ruler, Venus, is retrograde until the 12th. As such, you have some catching up with resting, observing, and reflecting to do. You can feel a strong need for more personal, private, or down time. You’re drawing more upon your intuition and are not as influenced by sources outside of yourself. You’re still inclined to mix and mingle, but you tend to keep a lot to yourself.
Getting in touch with your innermost needs and letting go of attitudes and circumstances that no longer serve you well can be especially helpful. Until the 12th, especially, you can be somewhat withdrawn or reserved as you take the time to revise and perhaps question some of your plans. Matters from the past creep up and demand your attention.
You might be tempted to bury your feelings in order to concentrate on other areas of life or keep your deeper feelings private. Dealing with past relationships, love triangles, or sacrifices made for a lover can figure strongly in your life. You should watch for secrets surfacing that prompt you to rethink current plans and possibly even alliances. Friendships can enter tricky territory. The resurfacing of issues and perhaps even people from the past can be a theme. It’s a time of introspection, extra time for reflection, and a reassessment of your needs and wants.
With a Saturn-Uranus influence, you are respected in your group or circle and might form alliances with people with similar grievances. Focusing on stabilizing your social life or handling outstanding or unresolved issues related to your friendships or projects can help boost your confidence in yourself and faith in the universe, giving you a sense of mission or purpose. This is an exceptional period for coming to a healthy balance of realism and spirit or independence.
There can be a scramble to get your life into better working order around the Full Moon on the 12th, and the benefits of doing so are great. On the same day, Venus turns direct after a retrograde cycle, helping to clarify your social life. As such, you’re entering a period of illumination at this time.
Mars finally moves forward and down to the bottom of your solar chart on the 18th – something it’s been teasing for a while. Mind you, this is not necessarily the easiest of transits, but you do need to get a break from the mental and physical excitement/pressure it’s brought to your life in recent months. What you should watch for with this influence is allowing the excess energy of Mars to fester and do its own thing. You’ll need to apply this transit constructively by putting energy into family activities or home improvement. Or, you may decide to once and for all handle a domestic or personal problem that’s been lingering for too long.
In the second half of April, you’re heading into your personal power period with some questions and reservations, but you’ll get there! Allow your mind to catch up with your heart before pushing ahead, and you’ll be in good shape now. The New Moon on the 27th fuels you with the motivation to start fresh. You could be driven to change your image or your attitude to new beginnings. This New Moon is in your sign, signaling a period of personal new beginnings and a chance to reinvent yourself.
Renewal, coming out of the background, getting attention, making decisions, and moving forward are all strong themes as you close the month. Still, there is a less scattered or hurried pace to your life. Problems that were swept under the carpet in your domestic life begin to emerge and demand resolution. Home and family life can be busy, animated, and energetic.
Gemini
April brings opportunities to connect and enjoy yourself, dear Gemini. At the same time, a lot is happening under the hood. There can be much joy in a supportive or behind-the-scenes role.
The month finds you embracing your need for others with an emphasis on your social sector. Relationships and special projects can be motivators, getting you going and firing you up. There might be a conversation that opens up doors.
Venus has backed up into your career and reputation sector in retrograde motion and then turns direct on the 12th. This is much like having to go back over old ground to correct and refine matters before moving forward. In the process, you’re gaining valuable insight into your working relationships, reputation, and satisfaction for your current work projects or long-term goals. The edits you do now can be very useful. Career and reputation matters can be areas that require a second look. Let things flow and observe how things are unfolding with as much patience as you can muster. Mercury follows a similar, although quicker, path, turning direct on the 7th. With these shifts, in many ways, you feel that you’re moving forward.
From the 18th forward, Mars moves into your communications sector for a two-month stay. This is a significant shift as things feel like they’re really starting to take off. You’re feeling good and confident about what you’re learning, sharing, and doing now. Enthusiasm is powerful for your ideas and connections. Aim to harness this transit’s excitement and courage while downplaying the haste and impatience of Mars in this area of your solar chart.
You might also need to tie up some loose ends now and in the coming month related to home and family life. This process will ultimately help stabilize these things.
With a Saturn-Uranus transit, you are in good shape to draw on experience, good karma, and your inner wisdom to further your career or material goals or meet your responsibilities to the outside world. Teaching or guiding may be connected with your work, and work done behind the scenes can pay off. You’re getting to a very healthy balance between optimism and practicality. Pacing yourself comes more naturally to you now.
As you focus on stabilizing your work, career, or reputation, you’ll also answer the periodic calls for downtime, rest, and repose. Separating work and rest is essential now and also very successful! You’ll find that you bring a refreshed, spirited, and perhaps inspired “you” to your responsibilities and feel far more entitled to enjoy your downtime with a job well done. This is a time for more fully tuning out work while resting, for example, and working with few distractions when pursuing your goals. Focus is the key!
You’re on an important inner mission later this month. It’s a time to build a deeper connection with your intuition and a better relationship with yourself from the inside out. Forgiveness and understanding can help you move on and embrace your future. You might come to a better understanding of an old problem.
You head into your yearly phase of rest, recuperation, and reflection with the Sun’s move on the 19th into your solar twelfth house. This will be useful as you move closer to your personal new year. Because the first few weeks of April may have been busy, this can come as a welcome relief!
At the same time, life remains engaging with the current Mars transit. You have increased energy for learning and personal interests, and there can be a lot of activity in your daily life, with little chance for focused work. Pressures to make money or push business and practical matters ahead are subsiding. So, while the last week of April brings a greater need and desire for time to recuperate and renew yourself, you also enjoy an active mind and vital interests. It’s about grabbing quality time when you can.
After the New Moon on the 27th, circumstances favor or require a new start with how you do your downtime. There can be events and realizations that help distance you from self-limiting secrets or situations, ultimately giving you more freedom. You can have great ideas about matters of the past and how to learn from and move past them.
Cancer
There can be a strong focus on taking care of business this month, dear Cancer, but also some attention to learning, sharing, and your personal and social life. April is an important month for connecting with your goals and ambitions, and it’s a fine time to explore your need to share and connect. Healing yourself on multiple levels (physical, emotional, and spiritual) can figure strongly.
You’ve experienced a thrust forward in your work and public life after the Solar Eclipse near the end of March. Plus, Mars enters your solar second house on the 18th, signaling further that material affairs are strengthening and that you should direct your energies to these things. In fact, you can work hard at stabilizing your life this month. Events this month stir your ambition and gently push you to do your best. The month is busy regarding your commitments to the outside world, both in terms of responsibility and pleasure.
There can be some review necessary with Venus still retrograde until the 12th and Mercury retrograde until the 7th. However, it’s just fine, as you’re likely to find something valuable as you look back before pushing forward. While some of your plans may require redoing or rethinking, you’ll have the opportunity to see things differently, which can work to your advantage in the long run. It’s a time to process recent events and catch up with your feelings. When you’re too busy doing, you may not always process what’s happening inside, and now you get that chance.
In the first part of April, Venus is retrograde and Mars is in your sign, and this combination can be a bit tricky. You may come across as more stern or insensitive than you actually are. It’s a good idea to soften your approach just a little, or you could unwittingly make more problems for yourself than are necessary. There may be a review of — or return to — an unfinished matter or previous condition related to travel, education, special interests, or publishing.
A Saturn-Uranus transit with longer-term influence occurs in April, benefiting you with learning and teaming up with others through study groups or friendships based on shared beliefs and interests. It’s a good time to draw some boundaries and cement long-term friendships or group associations while also allowing room for spontaneity. There is a real sense that as you build your skills and attend to your practical affairs, you’ll connect with people or causes that inspire and encourage you.
You can be excited about people and causes you care about, and all the while, you’re picking up valuable skills that can move you closer to your broader goals. Long-lasting bonds and connections will be forming now and in the months ahead.
Mars leaving your sign, Cancer, on the 18th was after a very long visit, some of which time it was retrograde, so it’s been quite a journey. The spotlight has been on your independent side, but now, some of your rough edges soften, and there is considerably less pressure on you to take action. Your central focus pulls away from being me-oriented towards security-minded. It’s an excellent time to work on self-esteem issues. You can be excited to get your money straight, earn more, or take on an ambitious project. You should probably watch for impulsive buying, however.
As the month moves on, it’s a fine time to connect with people who expand your perspective. You’ll get time to decide whether you derive satisfaction from your life, interactions, belief systems, or path. Aim to avoid rushing decisions.
In truth, April has many themes, suggesting you can benefit from diversifying a little now. The last week of the month brings a stronger social flavor. You’ll be taking more and more interest in connecting with friends, networks, the community, or your higher goals, dreams, and plans.
The Sun heads into your sector of community and friendships on the 19th, keeping you connected and attending to happiness goals and networking. If you’ve been neglecting your need to spend time with people and projects that help you de-stress, this is a time for a clear reminder. You could find yourself taking an interest in something entirely new now. The goal is to contribute and feel connected.
The New Moon on the 27th encourages a fresh slate with friendships, networks, social life, and happiness goals. Aim to harness this energy to start fresh with friends and groups.
Leo
April brings diverse energies, dear Leo. Even so, an interesting theme emerges for you. Mars moves into your sign on the 18th after a lengthy hiatus, and this move comes after Venus and Mercury end their retrogrades. You’ll feel far more independent and forward-looking. Until the 19th, the Sun harmonizes with your sign, and you’re feeling spirited, even with some slowdowns or delays to manage.
The larger focus is often on the bigger picture this month, and you want to stretch your mind. You’re doing more learning, sharing, and exploring, and it’s rewarding.
Venus spends most of the month (until April 30th) in your intimacy sector, some of which Venus is in retrograde motion (to the 12th), and it’s covering old ground. You may be reviewing your financial arrangements or obligations or your relationship commitments. You may be looking at your intimate life or dependencies from a different angle and reassessing whether you’re satisfied with how you’ve been approaching these matters. This review can give you valuable clues for making changes, which are ideally tackled later this month or next. Prepare yourself for some complications with debts and shared resources with Venus retrograde in your solar eighth until the 12th and Mercury retrograde there until the 7th.
Although there may have been some confusion or stagnation in your love life, the month gets easier for romantic expression and attention as it progresses. Later April can also be an important time for a loan or other support coming through.
With a Saturn-Uranus transit forming this month, your special attention to structure and discipline, combined with some room for spontaneity and innovation, can help boost your career or reputation. You see definite improvements in your life as you relinquish rigidity and pressure while sticking with reliability and order. Getting your finances and support situation sorted out can motivate and inspire your work. This period rewards attention to practical and emotional needs, and fulfilling pursuits can result.
The Full Moon on the 12th brings your attention to a communications project or errands that need immediate handling. This influence brings your attention back to your neighborhood, those close to you, and your daily affairs. It’s a call to take care of the details of your life, and it’s also a reminder to stay involved and up to date with the people and current news in your personal life, even as you venture out and about. It’s a generally busy time, but prioritize finding some space for relaxation.
You’ve spent quite a bit of time behind the scenes in recent months, and even when you’ve been out and about, you may have been quite withdrawn, keeping things to yourself. On the 18th, assertive Mars moving into your sign can be quite a shift! Decisions come quickly during this cycle that lasts until June 17th, about two months. A decidedly more confident and assertive side emerges. People can’t help but notice you. This happens only a day before the Sun moves to the top of your chart, pushing you into the limelight. You’re in good form if you listen to gut instincts rather than merely react to life. With this transit, you experience a re-awakening of sorts, preferring to do things independently, be a pioneer, and take the lead.
Later in April, life is generally more public and goal-oriented than usual. You’re also pursuing your desires and asserting yourself. It’s a time to put yourself out there with more sincerity and confidence, and the New Moon on the 27th can give you a push in this direction and the chance for a fresh start. Your stronger sense of responsibility boosts inner growth and healing. You can be more confident in your path or happier about where you’re heading. Freeing yourself from problems that have weighed you down can be liberating, and making plans and setting goals is exciting.
Nurture your ambitions or go hard with your studies for good results. You’re in perfect shape for gaining new knowledge and pushing forward work or life path goals. You have a boost of clarity and courage on your side. You may come to a sudden decision to clear something away to start fresh, which can involve a career path, work project, or life goal. Unexpected professional opportunities can pop up, or this New Moon brings a sense of renewal or revival.
Virgo
You’re getting in better touch with your inner power in April, dear Virgo, and building your optimism and spirit. You’re attracting people into your life who make your life easier, and your appeal is easy and natural. Still, much is going on under the surface of things, and it’s a fine month for devoting more time and energy to passion projects, learning, and extracurricular activities.
Venus has moved back into your relationship sector. While Venus visits this sector until April 30th, it remains retrograde only until the 12th, prompting a focus on whether or not you’re receiving satisfaction from (and harmony with) a partner or a close relationship. Or, there can be a feeling of emotional distancing or limbo during this review period, after which you start to put all the pieces together and feel more confident about making changes. If you’re waiting for money or a relationship, you could discover new ways to cope that truly benefit you as you wait. In the second half of April, you’ll begin to see changes and forward-moving in your relationships or with your projects and money/resources. Some of the recent discoveries about your relationship needs and values will likely affect future decisions.
With Venus ending its retrograde on the 12th and Mercury on the 7th, relating and connecting more openly and confidently can be most satisfying as you advance, and opening your heart leads to chances to heal and resolve problems.
You’re in good shape for clearing out problem areas, even long-standing ones, with special attention to balancing your need for structure and making room for spontaneity. While there continue to be valuable life lessons and perhaps challenges in a close partnership, you’re finding outlets for any related stress or tension or finding ways to balance out attention to other pursuits as Saturn and Uranus harmonize. A partner or special friend can help reinforce your ideas or educational or travel goals. Bonding with an extended family member or people with whom you share a common interest can be especially rewarding. A partner or a relationship can inspire you, even indirectly, to reach new heights, explore new places or ideas, or learn a new skill.
You might learn of an untapped resource or receive positive news related to your finances, particularly around the Full Moon on the 12th. The month is powerful for self-development and making positive lifestyle changes. It seems in reach to achieve the right balance between introspection and external focus.
Mars moves into your privacy sector on the 18th, where it will visit for two months before heading into your sign. For now, it makes sense to strategize, rest, reflect, and tie up loose ends. Pay special attention to activities that help you unwind and decompress now for the best results, but do make some room for freeform activities that feed your spirit and satisfy your itch to learn and discover.
The Sun heads into the sector of your chart that rules publishing, promotion, travel, adventure, belief systems, world cultures, higher education, and the law on the 19th, highlighting any of these themes later in April. Especially after the New Moon on the 27th, there can be opportunities to advance your goals, pursue an interest, and learn new things. There can be a remarkable increase in engagement with others. You enjoy more positivity in your outlook, thoughts, and conversations later in the month. As you tire of old rules, routines, and information, you embrace new ways of looking at problems.
New or revitalized interests, unusual studies, and different perspectives can lead you in different directions. The mood is often light, sociable, energetic, and interactive. Still, Mars in your solar twelfth house continues to demand some special attention to your private life or inner world. You may be processing a lot, not quite ready to make a big move or change. Be patient with this–it’s a necessary process and a natural progression.
Use this time to digest, reevaluate, and understand your desires. You’ll likely come to meaningful conclusions as you connect with your deeper feelings. Make it a goal to rest and unwind more often.
As you close out the month, it’s a great time to explore ideas and topics and share. At the same time, it’s a good idea to honor your increased need for time to yourself for processing and digesting. Aiming for a good balance makes sense.
Libra
Relationships continue to be in focus for you in April, dear Libra. With your ruler, Venus, ending its retrograde cycle on the 12th, it’s a time to rebuild your connections and confidence.
Your social life is at the forefront this month. You’re frequently involved in collaborating, compromising, and balancing. A Full Moon in your sign occurs on the 12th, when you could have an epiphany about a relationship or your own needs feel urgent. From the 18th, the influence that has put pressure on your career and reputation sector for some time moves on, which means less worry about performance and more energy funneled into your happiness goals and pursuits.
While energies are becoming less concentrated in April, themes can often circle around work, health, habits, partnerships, and intimacy. A Saturn-Uranus transit offers you support for improving your lifestyle and habits. You can better manage your time, and you’re increasingly more aware of the need for a balanced approach in your relationships, with money, and regarding diet and habits. Separating work and downtime can be key to this. Financial or intimate matters may not always be steady, but this doesn’t compromise your work ethic or subtract from your efforts.
Venus has returned to your work and health sector and stays there until April 30th. However, Venus ends its retrograde on the 12th. It’s a time to recognize areas of imbalance or dissatisfaction in your job or daily environment more acutely. The review you’re doing now is necessary and will likely lead to improved conditions in the long run. In truth, you’re getting in better touch with your feelings, sensibilities, tastes, and values. It’s a time to catch up with matters you’ve overlooked, brushed aside, or were too busy to handle.
On the 12th, not only does your ruling planet end its retrograde cycle, but the Full Moon occurs in your sign. Excitement or tension in your personal life or emotional world can lead to a new perspective. This could be a time of increased self-awareness or a shift in your emotional landscape, offering you a fresh understanding of your feelings and relationships.
Particularly in the second half of the month, you’ll have many opportunities to bring harmony to your everyday life. Confidence in yourself, your work, and your relationships build as April advances.
Another important shift is Mars moving into your solar eleventh house on the 18th. For many months, Mars has animated your career and reputation sector, but with Mars now heating up your sector of friends and happiness goals, it can be a good time to connect with people, more actively contribute, enjoy new experiences, or energize teamwork. You gain fabulous emotional fuel with Mars no longer at a stressful angle to your sign and Mercury and Venus no longer retrograde. Making changes seems to come naturally because you’re answering calls to spontaneity.
Your social life is likely to be more animated now and until June 17th — sometimes a little too much, perhaps, but certainly clearer and more straightforward. More activity related to your community, network, or special friendships can be in the spotlight.
The Sun heads into your solar eighth house on the 19th, which rules regeneration, transformation, other people’s resources (that affect you), and debts, both spiritual or emotional and material. There can be a stronger need for deep, rich, meaningful experiences, more attention to a relationship’s power dynamics and intimacy level, and a focus on your needs for change, evolution, and self-mastery later in April.
A close relationship can grow, and your relationship with yourself improves as you embrace your deeper nature. You gravitate to absorbing activities and profound thought, study, and conversations. You’re attuned to the hidden layers of situations.
Especially after the New Moon on the 27th, you can be determined to sort out feelings of indebtedness. An event can open your eyes to the need to handle debts or shared resources more effectively. You’re paying extra attention to emotional and psychological renewal. Still, your sense of adventure is building. Progress, improvement, or growth are potent motivators. As such, the potential for balancing your life with attention to your inner and outer world needs is strong.
Scorpio
The drive to improve your life is in the spotlight in April, dear Scorpio, and your relationships can also be a growing focus as the month advances. Applying yourself to something constructive is satisfying, and putting in the effort to enhance your daily routines is rewarding.
Your relationship goals may very well inspire you to better yourself this month and in the coming months. You’re committed to making the most of your creativity and talents as Saturn and Uranus harmonize. When you’re feeling better organized and disciplined, it reflects well in many life departments, including your relationships. It’s an excellent period for attending to both the practical and spontaneous sides of your connections. Instead, diverse relationship needs or even relationship interruptions can inspire you to learn a new skill, monetize a hobby, or structure your leisure time.
It’s also possible that structuring your creative efforts, hobbies, or recreational or romantic pursuits can boost a relationship. Negotiations can be successful, and establishing reasonable boundaries in relationships works better than it has in recent years, as long as you also pay attention to the need for some freedom and randomness. You might discover very constructive channels for your creativity as well.
Venus has returned to your solar fifth house, remaining retrograde until the 12th, and leaving on April 30th. You can be primarily focused on harmony in your romantic life or on getting in touch with your creative muse. While it may not be until later this month or next month when you’re likely to feel that things are indeed moving forward, this is a good time for seeing your creative and romantic life, hobbies, and pleasures differently, leading to lovely insights. While reminiscing about the past is just fine and in fact helpful right now, try not to get stuck there. Questioning current attachments is likely, and it can be a useful process, either serving to strengthen your commitments or alerting you to stale areas of your life.
Not only does Venus end its retrograde on the 12th, but a Full Moon occurs, awakening a need to attend to your inner world and get extra time for rest and reflection. It signals a time when your psychic radar is working overtime, and you can have an epiphany about your true feelings on a matter or instincts about a person or project. There can be a need for emotional and psychic release or escape to recuperate, rest, and rejuvenate yourself.
Mars heads to the top of your solar chart on the 18th. This transit, lasting until mid-June, can serve to ignite your ambitions, and it might feel as if it was a long time coming after first heading there in December, sluggish behavior, and a return to the previous sector in recent months. This is a time for pursuing your goals more directly and confidently, particularly related to your career or material affairs. It’s a dynamic period that can sometimes be challenging, tense, or overstimulating but also invigorating. You may resent interference now, making it best if you work at your own pace.
In recent months, you may have been focusing on making your life more enjoyable and interesting. Now, you’re gradually shifting your attention towards taking care of business, performing, and handling your responsibilities. You can feel motivated to progress on a professional or lofty project or goal.
On the 19th, the Sun heads into your partnership sector, and there can be a significant focus on relationships and especially one-on-one interactions. This can relate to romantic partners, counselors or advisers, business partnerships, or similar unions. Negotiations and agreements can figure strongly now.
You’re in fine shape to form or enhance close relationships and partnerships, especially after the New Moon on the 27th. The best version of yourself often shines forth in one-on-one situations. You could attract people who boost your confidence. This is a time for making an extra effort to reach out, connect, and negotiate. It’s an excellent time for committing to a healing process, connection, or improved attitude related to relationships. The desire or need to cooperate and merge with someone is strong. Your needs from relationships awaken, and unusual impulses push you into a new beginning.
With these two shifts–Mars into your career sector on the 18th and the Sun into your partnership sector on the 19th–the potential is great for a balanced work-life focus.
Sagittarius
Creative, just-for-fun, love, and entertaining activities are in the spotlight in April, dear Sagittarius. Still, there’s also an increasing focus on work, health, and habits as the month progresses. With the Sun in your joy sector until the 19th, you’re tuning in to your needs for pleasure and leisure. Creative urges and the need to share them are themes. You can be highly motivated to pursue a personal interest, particular topic, hobby, or creative activity. You’re also awakening to a need for kindred spirits and more involvement with friends or the community around the Full Moon on the 12th.
While you experience essential life lessons, rules, or restrictions related to your home, family, and personal life with Saturn a longer-term visitor in your solar fourth house, you’re finding fantastic outlets for releasing related stress or tension or creating a better sense of balance. This support comes from a Saturn-Uranus harmonious transit that first forms exactly this month. Compartmentalizing and balancing work and home life can be the key, or your work and home life can combine in magical and practical ways. It can be a good time to work from (or on) the home. Family may motivate and support your work more than usual. Getting organized and disciplined can reflect wonderfully on your work and health pursuits, freeing you up for time to innovate. Your goals are big, but you’re also keeping your feet on the ground.
Venus has moved back into your solar fourth house and will visit until April 30th. Venus continues its retrograde until the 12th, and you tend to focus on bringing harmony, balance, and peace to your home life and family dynamics. There can be resurfacing problems to deal with, but you are looking at these matters in new ways, and as things move forward in the second half of the month, you’ll have a stronger idea of what’s most important to you–and what to do about it.
While you may be involved in a waiting game with Mercury retrograde until the 7th and Venus until the 12th, and you could feel in limbo sometimes, this can lead to new approaches that truly work for you. A current romantic interest may be difficult to read. You may discover that you have been undervaluing or overvaluing someone during this cycle, and whatever insight you gain now can be very useful to you going forward.
While the energies of April are becoming less concentrated than last month, some themes are emerging.

In fact, you can learn a lot about what you want, who you love, and what you value during this retrograde, but important, significant decisions should probably wait until later.
