April horoscope by Hannah Crerar
April brings both sugar and spice into our life. The first few weeks we are building momentum. Expect a lot of passion, quick wit, sharp tongues and bold moves. The pace slows down at the end of the month. It is a time to land in the body, reflect and review the first third of the year.
Key dates:
12 April - New Moon in Aries
Set your intentions for the next season of your life. Think about where you want to show up courageously.
15 April - Mars in Gemini trine Jupiter in Aquarius
A beautiful time to consider what you want to create with your one precious life. Take a small step toward that greater plan.
27 April - Full Moon in Scorpio
This a transformative full moon for healing old wounds, facing the darkness and casting a light on our shadows. It is all for a greater purpose.
Aries
This is your month to be seen, felt and heard. Get familiar with that fierce spark of life that pulses inside of you as it will be your compass over the next couple of weeks. You are even more likely to take action in the face of uncertainty and you have the power to shatter old glass ceilings. In the latter half of the month you will be feeling a little more inward focussed and drawn to create security for yourself. Think about what luxury means for you, and cultivate that in your life.
Taurus
This month feels like new foundations are being laid out and you have a blank canvas to work with. It is less about changing your physical circumstances and more about approaching situations in a new and intentional way. What is sweet in your life right now? Let that sweetness be enjoyed. What is challenging right now? Release any victim mentality and take power in the situation. Engaging in a meditation or mindfulness practice can assist your mind in receiving creative insights and making empowered decisions.
Gemini
The first half of the month is all about being a social butterfly. Be open to meeting people from all walks of life. You will have time later in the month to reflect on the interactions that felt good in your body and the interactions that didn’t quite land. It’s all a learning experience. Your open mind is your greatest asset this month. It’s a time to think and feel outside the box and a time to move out of old routine and into something new and expansive. You are more willing to be seen and your invigorated sense of self is refreshing.
Cancer
A leap in your career or public persona is taking place. Perhaps you experience a shift within your current line of work or you step into a new role entirely. You’ll have the courage to meet new challenges, so embrace the changes. It is not a month to overthink or waste energy on self doubt. Let your body’s wisdom do the talking and take action in the face of fear. You may feel an intuitive nudge to invest in something or someone without knowing the full story. You can draw on wisdom from your community but most importantly trust your gut.
Leo
You might feel a little antsy or like you have itchy feet. Maybe you feel a yearning to travel or explore new spaces. There is something waiting for you on the other side of adventure. Let the first couple weeks of the month feel spontaneous and unplanned. In the latter half of the month, you can bring back some structure and planning. Be sure to show up with integrity within your community and close relationships and you’ll notice some positive growth in these areas.
Virgo
Your drive to invest will be heightened, whether in yourself, others, or new projects. There is abundance coming your way but you need to be open to receive. If you have your walls up, you may block the support and wealth that simply desires a safe vessel to land in. You may find yourself in some confusing relationships, and your natural inclination to organise and make sense of things may not be possible. Instead of becoming frustrated, find beauty within the mess and chaos. It will all make sense in time.
Libra
Who are you within relationships? This month may trigger you in the best way. Regardless of whether you are engaged in romantic relationships, close business partnerships, or you are riding solo, you will receive a lot of insight about how you want to show up within relationships. If you have fallen into people pleasing or codependent behaviours in the past, you will feel the urge to make change. It is so vital that you recognise your own individual self worth before you show up in partnership, as this will set the tone for a healthy and respectful union.
Scorpio
The first few weeks will have you redefining your schedule in some way. Subtle changes in your daily habits may seem trivial, but the little things add up. Incorporating movement and mindfulness can ensure your mind and heart stays clear and open. You may feel driven to pursue some financial goals this month, with the vision of your future home, family or sense of security in mind. Your relationship zone is very abundant with lots of love and adoration coming your way, though be prepared for some unexpected plot twists.
Sagittarius
Time to shine and step into the light. Your fiery spirit is called into action. You want to be seen, you want to play, and you want to tell your story. The time is ripe for this in the first half of the month. You’ll likely bring some passionate intellectual debate into your intimate relationships and close community. You’ll be called to bunker down a little later in the month, so capitalise on your extroverted tendencies earlier on, and expect the pace to gradually slow down. Nature supports you when you work with her rhythms and cycles.
Capricorn
A time for nesting and making your home feel extra cosy. As the seasons change, your habits are shifting and this month it’s important to create a supportive space around you. In the last couple of weeks you’ll want to be cared for and adored. Slowing down allows you to process your emotions. Feeling into your experiences rather than busy-ing your way out of them, means you can channel your energy into purposeful actions that lead you to success.
Aquarius
This month feels very expressive and optimistic. Something is changing in your family or home life dynamic that will inspire a new outlook. You will learn many lessons this month that will inform the message you have to share with others. You may feel particularly called to just say it as it is. Sometimes that kind of unfiltered simplicity is exactly what the world needs to hear. It will be a dance between wanting to speak and then wanting to retreat, so when you feel the call to share, trust it’s the right time.
Pisces
You are putting in the work this month and you will reap the rewards later. You’ll feel inspired to put some elbow grease into things, even the mundane tasks. If you feel like you are dragging your feet, put some purpose in your step and it will change the whole situation. Instead of trying to multitask, you are better off being fully present in the task at hand. You’ll get a hit of clarity around your personal values and what’s important to you later in the month. Using rituals and prayer can be a wonderful way to manifest abundance.
