Fated Paths & Fresh Starts
Discover what April and May have in store for your sign. From fated shifts to fresh starts, your horoscope guide is here.
Virgo
Life has a fateful feel since your mid-March total lunar eclipse in Virgo. Late March through April, your partner sign Pisces, greatly influences your choices, as heart-opening moments continue. It is fine to abandon plans, to go with the flow, because Mercury has been retrograde in Pisces, finally moving you ahead on April 7. Fated meetings are suggested when Mercury joins the Eclipse Axis on April 11. This year, old soul business will reintroduce you to old forgotten wisdoms. When your speedy ruler then joins Neptune from April 17-21, inspired action is yours to claim. Finances and many decisions benefit. Earmark May 2-13 as best action time.
Libra
The final Aries/Libra eclipse occurs on March 29’s New Moon and a cycle completes. This 18-month period has opened doors to the past, stirring old-soul business partnership longings. Now you are ready to move out of your head and into action. Venus, however, wants you to take your time, since she is retro in your partner sign through March, slipping back into Pisces. It is her new direct cycle on April 13’s Full Moon in Libra that really waves a starting flag. April 20-21 primes you, then May 1-7 brings Venus’s happy connections powerfully to the fore. Helpful transformation beckons.
Scorpio
Scorpio’s ruler is warrior planet Mars but Mars has been retro and mostly in Cancer since last September. In Cancer until April 18, Mars can disrupt family harmony. Restraining criticism and reactions keeps the peace, and April 20 and 21 can restore deep connections. On April 27, Mars opposes underworld Pluto… for the last time. Since Pluto is also your ruling planet, this has been testing you since last November. Rise above any conflicts, and April 28’s New Moon in your partner sign will be a genuine new beginning. Your heart opens to the mysteries of love and relationships from May 2-13 as a fateful Scorpio Full Moon approaches.
Sagittarius
With Jupiter in Gemini until June, the Archer benefits from studying all details, considering suggestions made by significant others. If your independence was tested in late December by family or friends, recall this now. From March 20 to April 20, you are on fire with desires, as the Sun illuminates your sign of creativity and love. Through this time, an emotional Pisces flow accelerates your concerns for home and family. You may feel conflicted between adventures and personal loyalties, on April 21, 24 or 27. Yet, solutions will appear. April 28’s New Moon begins the process, Neptune in Aries keeps dreams alive, May 1-7 opens doors of rich communication.
Capricorn
Between March 29 and April 19, planets Mars, Venus, Saturn and Uranus form a Water/Earth dance. This takes you way beyond personal concerns and deeply receptive to relationships. Venus meets your ruler Saturn three times due to retro motion. Their final meeting in Pisces on April 25 brings to full cycle the negotiations or ideas developing since January 19. An April 28 New Moon ignites your creative vision, your sense of romance. These feed into a new direction calling you. May 2-13 accelerates the process, Neptune whispers of a new vocational role. That Capricorn caution no longer turns to doubts. Make the most of this magical month!
Aquarius
Pluto in Aquarius is leading us into transformational times, so life has been intense, demanding. When Neptune makes its shift into Aries on March 30, your momentum benefits, help comes readily, communication flows. New opportunities, both personal and professional, show themselves. Yet, if financial decisions seem stalled, it is best to wait for the easy progress of April 12 to 13’s Full Moon. The big blessing for the Water Bearer is that your two rulers, Saturn and Uranus, are holding a rare opportune link from March 23 to April 20. Avoid conflict on April 27, then new directions take shape from April 28’s New Moon through May 13’s Full Moon.
Pisces
When Venus in Pisces meets Neptune on March 28, a mermaid’s song whispers your hidden needs, reinvigorates your creative forces. Since March 29’s New Moon has more Water sign energy than Aries’ Fire, your inward quest will find treasures. Saturn and the fateful Moon’s Node bring the tight Pisces huddle up to four, and you are strong in your element. This annual New Moon is a financial reboot, with extra magic of a Pisces gang. Clarify intentions now, and April 1-12 flows as easy follow-through. April 25 to May 2 then harnesses an earthy New Moon, to showcase just how much you have achieved. Celebrate on May 16.
Aries
Your new solar year has interesting cross-messages. Lovely Venus and communicator Mercury are in Aries, but both are in retrograde motion. Venus hooks up with the Sun on March 23, then they join Neptune on March 28- 30. Add in your March 29 New Moon, a fateful eclipse, then Neptune entering Aries, for a romantic, visionary edge! Yet relationships will be a mystery. Instead of Aries’ urge to push, listen to your intuition, gather dreams. April 7, then 13, shift conversations and connections into move-ahead mode. April 17-21 inspires a grand plan. With Mars in fiery Leo from April 18 to mid-June, you become a dynamo. Breathe deeply…
Taurus
March 23 to April 20 is special for Taurus, a time when effort and focus enable major changes to unfold easily. Wild-child Uranus has thrown many curve balls since 2018 but now comes the gift. While April 21, 24 or 27 may bring conflict, cautious handling works. Then your Taurus New Moon of April 28 is blessed by a strong Venus in Pisces. This highlights cooperation, flow, ease, as you shift into May and its fateful reconnections. From May 6 to 13, the bright Moon brings pleasure this week. Caring communication is boosted from May 10, and this will help you avoid an emotional tug-of-war on May 13’s Full Moon.
Gemini
A big year for the Twins offers its first gifts from March 22-30. Pluto, set to deepen your questing spirit for years, now makes sweet harmonies with Venus, the Sun, then Mercury. Your mercurial ruling planet is in retro mode, until April 7. You are enriched by revisiting old friendships, old ideas. On March 30, Neptune widens your social gaze, kindles romantic vision – a taste of a 12-year cycle. April 6-13 is particularly energising, with April 13’s Full Moon showing you how to balance success in love and business. April 20, 21 and May 1-7 help you get the best of lucky Jupiter in Gemini.
Cancer
As Moon’s own sign, your emotional antenna is everworking. You will find that the Saturn/Uranus dance between March 23 and April 20, upgrades Cancer’s receptive gifts. A new vocational role, good investment ideas, expanded networks are all likely to benefit from intuitive flashes. Just remember that many retro planets make April 12 to 13’s Full Moon your best action time. When the Sun enters earthy Taurus on April 21, 25, then April 28’s New Moon, this is the perfect time for grounding. Now extend your new direction. Since May 1-3 hosts a waxing Moon in Cancer, you are in your element, supported by fateful timing. This shows its potential by May 16.
Leo
Fiery harmonies make March 20-23 and 29-30 quite special for Leo, with loving vibes and adventurous plans. Yet, the two connector planets, Venus and Mercury, are both in retro motion, so rush nothing. Things will move fast from April 16, when Mars transits Leo from April 18 through May, this can evoke your energetic best. Yet, it comes with warnings: April 27- 28 features a helpful New Moon, but competitive urges can lead you into danger. Let the past rest, lay claim to big dreams. May 1-16 brings friends, support and inspiration that dreams up new adventures.
