Horoscope for the First Half of April

With so many planets in Aries and the end of personal planet retrogrades — Mercury and Venus — we can expect the month to feel more dynamic, as if the handbrake we've felt in recent weeks is finally released and the accelerator pressed.

At the start of the month, Mars and Saturn form a harmonious dialogue between energy and discipline, supporting the overcoming of challenges with patience and determination. Resilience is strengthened, helping you stay focused on long-term goals despite obstacles or delays. There’s a sense of responsibility and motivation that promotes high-quality work and well-deserved recognition. Still, it's important to balance effort with leisure and learn to express your emotions to avoid bottling up internal tension that may harm your relationships and well-being.

On April 6, the Sun and Jupiter harmonize, bringing new possibilities and open doors for learning, new experiences and projects, positive exchanges, and greater confidence in your ideas. Use this optimistic energy to bring new approaches to your plans.

The conjunction of Saturn and Venus in the sign of Pisces, happening on April 7, calls for introspection and important reassessments in professional and emotional matters. The period favors reviewing responsibilities, projects, and work relationships, allowing for conscious adjustments aligned with your goals. There's also an opportunity to reflect on investments and financial decisions, helping to avoid impulsive debts or commitments. On the emotional side, balancing vulnerability with strength becomes essential, offering a chance to strengthen bonds through mature and realistic conversations. Use this moment to prioritize what matters, treat time with care, and respect your own limits.

With the end of Mercury retrograde, also on April 7, ideas are likely to become clearer, along with communication in general. Everything that was revised during the retrograde may now find new meaning, allowing for more assertiveness and alignment in how we communicate — setting clearer boundaries in conversations and negotiations.

In addition to Mercury, Venus retrograde also ends on April 12. With the retrograde movements wrapping up, realizations may start to surface about the recent review period. Communication and relationships may begin returning to their regular rhythm, and friction that emerged in recent weeks can start to resolve. You might now have more clarity about internal behavior patterns that need changing or adjusting, as well as which boundaries are needed for your relationships to evolve more positively.

On the same day, April 12, we reach the peak of the lunation that began with the Eclipse in Aries at the end of March. This Full Moon takes place in Libra, bringing even more clarity to relationship dynamics and reinforcing the call to action when it comes to balancing them. It may be time to close cycles that are no longer healthy and become more aware of where you’ve been giving too much or being so independent that there’s no longer space for anyone else.

The Full Moon can heighten emotions, and with the Sun and so many other planets in Aries, it’s important to be cautious with impulsiveness or potential aggression in dealing with others.

Forecast for the Second Half of April

The second half of April begins with the return of the planet of communication, negotiation, and rational thinking — Mercury — into Aries, speeding up thought processes and bringing more passion and boldness to our way of expressing ourselves. Meanwhile, Mars — ruler of action and motivation — enters the sign of Leo. It's a favorable moment to harness the fire signs' energy to create and execute plans, turning self-expression and creativity into real-life progress.

All of this fast-paced, driven energy gets a bit of a slowdown with the Sun’s entry into Taurus on April 19. Taurus season reminds us of the importance of consistency, discipline, and strategic steps toward achieving our goals. Don’t forget to enjoy moments of pleasure and rest as well.

Along with the beginning of Taurus season, we also see more tension between the Sun, Mars, and Pluto. It’s essential to watch out for power struggles, ego clashes, and learn when to take a step back to act more thoughtfully and less impulsively. Also, be mindful of internal resistance and attachments that might conflict with your desire to transform certain life structures.

As Mars and Pluto clash on April 23, we may witness collective events that echo these themes of conflict, power dynamics, and the struggle between imposing one’s will versus thinking collectively and acting in a more cooperative, horizontal way.

The Moon joins the Sun on April 27, marking the beginning of the New Moon in Taurus. After so much Aries intensity in recent weeks, our emotions seek a bit of calm and grounding, initiating a period when stability, safety, and even comfort become stronger desires. It’s time to think long-term and patiently, consistently organize your next steps to reach where you want to go, especially after all the insights from Mercury and Venus retrograde in Aries.

To close out the month, Venus returns to Aries, where its retrograde began back in March. Everything you've learned and integrated during this two-month period now becomes a launchpad to bring Aries-style initiative and boldness into your relationships and projects in a more assertive and aligned way — honoring your individuality and sense of freedom.
