Utilizing astrology for personal development, self understanding and enlightenment.
In astrology, each planet has a very specific function. The Sun, it is 'soul' that transmits an idea to Mercury, which shall forward it to Venus, who feels things. Then Mars puts into action and expresses this idea. Jupiter, in turn, give the expansion, and finally Saturn puts it in place.
Monthly Horoscope for April
The New Moon (first total solar eclipse of 2023) on April 8th occurs in Aries and the Full Moon on April 23rd falls in Scorpio. Mercury travels into Aries and will remain until May 14th (due to his retrograde motion. On April 6th Venus enter into Aries and will remain until April 29th. Mars sails into Pisces until April 30th. Jupiter is in Taurus until May 25. Saturn is in Pisces until February 2026. Uranus is direct in Taurus. Neptune is direct in Pisces and Pluto is direct in Aquarius.
When a planet is retrograde in our charts, it means that the properties of that planet, in a sense, are reversed. The times that Mercury goes retrograde defines a time for us to slow down and go within. Think about what is happening in our lives and where we are going. Most of us see this time as an annoyance, but once again, Astrology is a tool and we need to use the time for our benefit.
Generally speaking, during a Mercury retrograde, we can expect delays, traffic situations, problems in communications (especially with telephones and cell phones), computer problems, delays in mail, and we never want to sign any contracts or legal documents, especially long-term ones. We don't throw logic completely out the window, if something needs to be taken care of and is of an urgent nature, we don't put it off, we just do what we need to do and see what unfolds.
All Aries and Libra are affected by this solar eclipse. Personal life is the most likely area to suffer, especially your closest relationships. The effect of a Solar Eclipse can last up to six months even years, so allow yourself to be acutely aware of all that you set in motion the day before, the day of and the day after the Eclipse!
We want to clarify our daily and monthly horoscopes are general for all zodiac signs and do not take into account of your personal natal chart. For a personal reading click here
Virgo: If you don’t have a partner of any sort, a new person will come into your life, or take center-stage. This year is about duets. Your other half, or the other side.
Saturn sails into this sector of your chart, joining Neptune, which is extremely unusual. You won’t have any experience at all, so if you need to reach for a self-help book, or a counsellor, that may be useful.
What happens in 2024-2025 is the arrival of necessary new rules. The need for great patience and stoicism. For all that the duet continues to be a way out of the everyday and the ordinary, you must now take a heavy reality check about new circumstances with or around your other half.
On April 23rd, the Scorpio Full Moon occurs in your 3rd solar house. I usually see it play out as in a change with regards to your local environment; something is completed or improved.
The 3rd house is a communication room; it's social media, the internet, your friends, workmates and so a Full Moon is alerting you to things that may have been kept hush-hush.
A time where you might find that you or your social group overshare information. It could be that you find out something about a neighbor, you get a new neighbor or workmate or friend.
Work/Money: On April 8, the Aries New Moon (total solar eclipse) falls in your alchemical eighth solar house, helping you turn those heavy-as-lead situations into pure gold. This won't happen overnight, but if you start tackling stumbling blocks now, you'll see genuine results by the corresponding Full Moon in Aries on October 17.
This New Moon (solar eclipse) also spotlights long-term finances and investments, as well as shared resources. You could be inspired to buy or sell real estate, or to find ways to earn passive income.
On top of that, Mercury (your ruler) sails into Aries until May 15th and in your eight solar house.
It’s time to get serious about how to invest your money. Banks, property, trust funds, or the stock market?
You may also be seriously discussing shared resources with your partner, prioritizing, making plans and decisions. You may seek legal advice on resources, sign (or end) a contract.
You may have received an inheritance, and have to decide how to best invest. Metaphysically you are increasingly conscious of people's subconscious motivations. Your intellect is sharp.
Keep in mind that Mercury retrogrades from April 2 – April 25, don't rush into any contracts just because you want to sign on the dotted line before the calendar turns. Small but crucial details can slip through the cracks, spiraling into a bigger headache.
Keep an eye on your credit card statements and online receipts while gift-shopping. Mercury's reversal increases the risk of identity theft and erroneous charges.
Change your passwords and increase your privacy settings since this tech-scrambling retrograde could put sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, at risk. Working with people may get tense.
Be explicit with all emails, conversations and instructions…and prepare to be misunderstood anyway.
