April Horoscope
The energy is piping hot this month. Expect fresh inspiration, spontaneous action, brave moves, and many new beginnings.
Eclipse season will ensure that the appropriate doors are closed and we are placed on the path we are destined to walk, whether or not we feel ready.
As you co-create with the Universe this month, watch what little opportunities and synchronicities appear in your life, and be willing to say YES.
Encourage yourself to step forward in the face of self-doubt. Resistance is par for the course when you are doing what you were made to do. This journey of life wasn’t designed to be smooth sailing all the time. The twists and turns and challenges are what keep you feeling ALIVE and this month you will be feeling more alive than ever.
Key Dates
6th April - Full Moon in Libra
This full moon is one that illuminates the relationships in your life and brings healing breakthroughs where they are needed. Your relationships will teach you more about yourself than the other person.
20th April - New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries
Eclipses tend to bring massive change and upheaval. This new moon will remind you to master your internal world so that when your external world feels unstable or unpredictable, you can feel secure in your sense of self. Aries energy is very self-oriented and asks you to connect with your personal power.
20th April - Taurus Season begins
This is the season to bring awareness to the present moment. With so much future-focused energy over the past couple of months, it is time to ground into what exists here and now. You may also find your focus drawn to creative endeavours, financial affairs and the natural world.
21st April - Mercury Retrograde
This is the first planetary retrograde to happen since January. Over the next 3 weeks, be willing to edit, revisit, review, and reschedule your travel plans, technology, agreements, and communications.
Aries
This month your life direction is in for a shake-up. You have the ability to step into a whole new energy. What is the frequency you want to operate from? Are you ready to be seen in a new light? Whether or not you feel ready, the Universe knows you are. Notice where your inner child might be resisting change and let them know they are safe. The full moon will illuminate not only what you want in a relationship but what you need. Perhaps you’ve been experimenting with a style of relating that seemed like a good idea in theory but in reality, feels unfulfilling. Learn from your experiences and adjust accordingly. Life is about trial and error and learning what works best for you on a Soul level. You will find the courage to express what you truly feel this month. There are changes that need to be made with your work life and this is the month to reflect on the past 18 months and figure out what needs to be let go, what needs to be streamlined, and what needs to be prioritised.
Taurus
This month is a powerful time to reflect on your self-growth. How different did life look for you 18 months ago? You have matured a lot and gained a lot of wisdom. Use this month to integrate the lessons you have learned and figure out what your next steps are. Notice if you are getting lost in the intensity of your feelings and the demands of the situations in front of you. You must be willing to take a step back from the action to give yourself some sense of perspective. Life’s challenges can be navigated with ease when you remind yourself that the ups and downs are all part of the human experience. After every low, there will be a high. Implement practices that nurture your inner well-being and keep you grounded. It is a good month to vocalise what you want out of your work and the way you want to feel as you earn income. Affirm that your daily work allows you to feel fulfilled and satisfied every day and that you are able to express your true self in what you do.
Gemini
This month new chapters are opening up. Check in with yourself and ask; what do I want? What truly fulfills me? What are my deepest desires for the next 18 months? Instead of responding based on what you’ve always thought you wanted, truly FEEL into the response you have in the present moment. Your answers may surprise you. This month has a strong spiritual undertone. Call upon any energetic rituals or clearing practices you have to protect your energy field. It can be as simple as closing your eyes and visualising your body surrounded by white light while breathing out any stagnant energy. Return to the power of your breath anytime life feels overwhelming and remember you are strongest on the out-breath. The full moon illuminates how you feel about romantic connections in your life as well as the creative projects you are working on. It is a time to let the heart lead you. Quiet the thinking in your mind and allow the feelings in your body to make the decisions.
Cancer
This month your career is getting a big makeover. You are stepping into fresh energy. It is not just about focussing on the work you are currently doing but thinking big picture. What is the legacy you want to leave behind? What feels like the most satisfying way you can share your gifts? Take action every day in pursuit of your goal and be willing to advocate for yourself. Sticking to what you say you are going to do is the best way to build self-confidence. Start with small and achievable tasks to cultivate trust in your own capabilities. Reflect on the relationships and social networks you have created over the last 18 months. What have these relationships taught you about yourself and the world? Spend time appreciating the important people in your life and set intentions around the connections you seek to build upon and create in the future. The full moon will highlight the familial relationships in your life. Are there past hurts that need healing? Allow yourself to go there and ask the harder questions.
Leo
This month you will feel inspired to adventure somewhere new. You can learn so much about yourself when you step off the beaten track. What new chapters can you feel opening up in your life? Where is your intuition guiding you to explore? April is a wonderful time to co-create with the Universe and say yes to new opportunities. Pay attention to the signs and synchronicities that land on your path. There is a closure happening within your career in the near future. You may be leaving a role, or putting an end to a certain working relationship or working style. It is all happening in your best interest. Reflect on the big lessons you have learned over the last 18 months. What areas do you thrive in? Where do you feel challenged? What environments feel supportive? What kinds of people do you work well with? As the full moon approaches you can communicate your needs and set the intention to let go of anything that no longer serves you or feels like it has relevancy in your life.
Virgo
This month you will be fostering deeper intimacy with others and revealing new layers of yourself. You give, give, give but you must allow yourself to receive. Seek out support rather than pushing through something uncomfortable on your own. You are capable of pushing through, but you don’t have to do it alone. Remember that it often brings others a lot of joy to be able to support or offer a listening ear. Reflect on where life has taken you in the past 18 months. What have you learned about yourself? Have any of your hardships revealed spiritual lessons? The cracks are where the light pours in. What wisdom did you gain through challenging times that you can offer to others? It is a good month to enliven some of your bigger life goals and dreams. There will be space and time available for you to get things moving. If you feel a sense of inner resistance, this is a sign you are moving in the right direction. Feel the fear and act despite it.
Libra
This month is a time to open up fresh new chapters in your relationships. That may mean adopting a whole new attitude within existing relationships or setting intentions for the ones you want to manifest in your life. If there are certain qualities you are desiring within your close partnerships, make sure you also provide those or something complimentary. Consider what you have learned about trust and vulnerability over the past 18 months. Who are the people/ is the person you feel most secure and trusting around? How vulnerable have you allowed yourself to be with them? The full moon illuminates the most important relationship in your life, being the one you have with yourself. It is a lovely time to write down all that you are proud of, the things you feel passionate about, and the qualities you appreciate about yourself. Trust that when you let your own light shine, you act as an example for others to shine in their own unique way.
Scorpio
This month ask yourself; what activities in my daily life bring me a sense of vitality? What activities bring me prosperity? What activities provide an outlet for my true self-expression? These are the activities that need to be prioritised so that you feel alive and growing in every moment. Some routine activities will need to be let go of to ensure this is possible. Remember your success is a result of the daily systems you have in place. The full moon is one for deep spiritual inquiry. Meditate, get still, journal, run a bath… do something that signals it’s time to go within. When feelings arise, you may want to run away. Instead, lean in and be as present as possible. New possibilities are opening up within your zone of intimate relationships. It is important that you aren’t repeating old cycles. Take what you have learned in the past 18 months and go froth with that wisdom on board. Only accept the kind of relationships that allow you to feel like the best version of yourself. You deserve to have it all.
Sagittarius
This month is a wonderful time to tend to your inner child. What makes that little self-come alive? What did you use to enjoy doing as a child? Can you incorporate some of those tasks or passions into your life as an adult? Reflect on how you have structured your days over the past 18 months. What has worked? What hasn’t? In this next phase, prioritise the tasks that have really helped moved the needle in getting you to your goals, as well as the tasks that have given you a sense of joy and fulfilment along the way. The full moon highlights the relationships you have with your wider community. It is not just your actions but also your thoughts and overall energy that will ripple out into the world and have an impact. What do you wish to contribute? What vibration do you want to emit? What legacy do you want to leave behind? April is about co-creating with the Universe so use your voice and speak these intentions into the ether. Use I AM statements to activate the energy now.
Capricorn
This month is a wonderful time to set intentions that relate to family and home life. What energy and relationship dynamics do you want to see manifest? You are capable of healing past traumas, not only experienced in your own life but within your ancestral line this month. When you remove the sting of the past, it is easier to create the life you want currently. The full moon highlights your relationship with people in positions of power. This may be within your own home, family, society, or work environment. How do you feel towards people in positions of authority? What do you need to feel valued and safe? Allow yourself to vocalise these needs. Reflect on the past 18 months. What have you created? What have you birthed into the world? Celebrate the wins as well as the lessons learned. This month is one to drop into your body and out of your head. As much as you love a solid plan, it’s okay to let yourself go with the flow from time to time. Check-in with your heart daily and ask; what is it you desire?
Aquarius
This month you are learning to communicate your needs with greater ease. You are able to deepen your connections with your friends and family when you are honest about how you truly feel. Let yourself be seen. Don’t hide behind the scenes, where you often feel most comfortable. Give yourself permission to step out and receive from the world. You deserve all the love and adoration. It is a good month to reflect on the life you have created for yourself. Your current reality is the physical expression of your past thoughts and beliefs. Reflect on what beliefs you picked up from family/ school/ society over the years so that you can better understand how you have manifested your current life. You may like to choose one aspect of your younger self you want to tend to this month. What belief did they form that is no longer relevant for you today as an adult? How can you show them it is safe to believe differently? Be compassionate and courageous as you show them the path forward.
Pisces
This month new portals of abundance are opening up for you. You may notice significant changes happening in your zone of work and family. Use these next few weeks to heal any self-worth issues you have so that you are receptive to the abundance possible. Reflect on the places you have been and the connections you have made over the last 18 months. What friendships have been fostered? What have they taught you? Do not underestimate the impact of your social circle. Be selective with the people you surround yourself with so that you receive the most nourishing energy for your Soul. The full moon illuminates your wants and needs within deep intimate relationships. It is a wonderful time to clear old beliefs or addictions to people or behaviours. Under the full moon affirm “I am clear of negative energy. My energy field is open only to the highest frequency of love. Everything and everyone prospers me now.” Watch as the world shape-shifts in response.
