April 2024 Horoscopes & Intentions For Your Zodiac Sign
This April dares you to strip back your layers to reveal the naked beauty of your soul and purpose
Mercury eases you into a new awareness as it begins its divine retreat on April 1, turning retrograde in combative Aries. Initiating a reflective period that calls for a closer analysis of your ego, the universe asks that you realize you needn’t make those who disagree with you into an enemy.
As you review your rushed conclusions, observe how your untamed desires have manifested. Romantic Venus is engulfed in the flames of wildfire Aries from April 5, instilling you with go-getter passion and courage to chase your ambitions. Drama might ensue upon the realization that you have enjoyed the process of craving more than the satisfaction of accomplishing.
Baptized in the flames of the revitalizing total solar eclipse in Aries, you will undergo a powerful self-renewal on April 8. Come into your power and anchor deeper into a renewed self-awareness. Every action taken beyond this magnetic turning point must be rooted in self-responsibility and a recognition of your worth. This grounding adjustment will feel natural once the Sun illuminates Taurus on April 19.
Free yourself from the psychological burden of your pain and losses. Under the regenerative Scorpio full moon on April 23, your rawest form will emerge from the darkness of your subconscious mind. Love yourself enough to acknowledge where growth is necessary before you can step into the light.
Mercury retrograde ends in Aries on April 25. Observe the surge of your confidence and ability to communicate with bold assertions. Share your truth without forcing your unwarranted opinions. April's energy shifts toward rebuilding loving connections through passionate affirmations of trust, honesty, and loyalty.
Cradle your loved ones in a nurturing embrace. Let physical touch affirm your love, gratitude, and care. Venus enters Taurus – a position of home and comfort for the goddess of love – on April 29, right before Mars returns home to Aries on April 30. Your radiant courage and strength will carry you forth. But, increasing carelessness and possessiveness could influence battles of the heart.

Aries
As you navigate fluctuations between clarity and confusion, be kind to yourself, even if you aren’t where you imagined you would be. Your strength and motivation will accelerate throughout April, carrying you to the highest realms of self-certainty. Seal new commitments and promises to yourself under the light of the solar eclipse, and come to terms with the psychological barriers that prevent you from opening up. Magnificent blessings await, but you must assess where you have responded to life through fear and trauma rather than confidence and an openness to welcome your destiny in whatever form it manifests.
Taurus
Holding yourself accountable is a learning process that you can no longer avoid. Prepare to face uncomfortable truths about how you have held yourself back by doing everything but the difficult task that will allow you to get what you want. Acknowledge the windows of opportunity missed because you trusted your fear more than your higher calling. As you surrender to the regenerative power of eclipse season and rise with the restorative whispers of Taurus season, you will be reborn. Root yourself in love and forgiveness, and you will discover the ease with which you can admit your hurt without persecuting people for their errors or ignorance.
Gemini
Who you are in your own eyes will not reflect the version of you that others see. Allow this realization to soothe any misinterpretations amongst friends or online discourse that you have over-personalized. Bathed in the iridescent haze of new dreams and manifestations, your inspiration will soar in April, instilling you with confidence to reach your highest potential. However, as your energy slows in Taurus season, the universe asks that you cut out the responsibilities and work duties that hinder your joy and prevent you from pouring your energy into heart-centered projects. More time won’t materialize – you have to create it.
Cancer
April arrives to help you follow your heart and produce your best work – not your version of other people’s ideas, creativity, and genius. Fulfill your own expectations before striving to prove yourself in the external realm to end the pattern of making career decisions informed by misaligned intentions. Source inspiration from friends who celebrate your unique gifts and talents. Absorb their affirming words, allowing them to point you toward your best attributes and disrupt your train of negative thoughts. Embody your highest version of self in all matters to ensure that your memory lingers in the minds of people looking to deliver lucky opportunities.
Leo
Surrender to the discomfort of not knowing, and a beautiful transformation will occur. New information will be absorbed in April, and you will realize that other’s beliefs and ideas are not a threat to your own. As Venus magnifies your love for learning and adventure, allow your heart to expand and carry you to new physical and intellectual horizons. The more you push yourself, the quicker you will manifest love and luck. The month takes a healing turn as the universe asks you to address lingering tensions amongst family members over disputes you have yet to forgive. Let go to set yourself free.
Virgo
When your repressed emotions, karmic qualities, and darkest shadows surface, offset your obsession with fixing your flaws with a new approach: radical self-acceptance. Relinquishing your desire to perfect your being and loving yourself as you are will activate your enlightened awareness and baptize you in the flames of the renewing eclipse energy. Heal the critical lens through which you have perceived the world, adopting a natural perspective instead, and observe your instinct to hyper-analyze and over-anticipate to get ahead of life.
Libra
Reframe your attitude: confrontations are an opportunity to assess where you have been too quick to judge and label people and where you have formed unhealthy attachments. Let love, patience, and understanding be the medicine to calm arising tensions or address unresolved matters between a lover, partner, or opponent. You are drawing closer to soulmate ties and chapters of renewal in your existing intimate bonds but must learn the importance of giving your sacred energy to the right people at the right time – when trust has been earned, and commitments have been made.
Scorpio
Every decision you make is an opportunity to mold yourself in the vision of your highest self. Consider whether you have made the right choices to sustain a healthy lifestyle without cutting corners and exposing yourself to risks. Rebuilding your strength through attentive self-care will elevate your ability to meet your responsibilities with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. Allocate your energy effectively with regular intervals of rest and play to avoid burning out. Connections may be slower to solidify in April, but the colleagues who prove they are team players and the lovers who demonstrate that they have your back will encourage you to accept help and support.
Sagittarius
Assert a new beginning by committing to the passion projects that excite and scare you. You are ready to birth a new creation – to fall in love with life again and the journey of dreaming the impossible dream. You are ready to step into your ambitious energy, trailblazing toward your aspirations rather than helping others to realize theirs. Persevere with your goals and express your devotion toward the people who cherish you. Let go of the grudges and fears that force your attention on what was rather than what could be. What you pour into the world is as important as what you pour into yourself. Be conscious of what you consume.
Capricorn
How you express yourself when your patience is short will linger in the hearts and minds of family members and eclipse the many moments when you have been patient and kind. Forgive yourself for the past when you did not act in ways you were proud of, and recognize that others holding you to the standard of who you once were is not an accurate reflection of who you are today. Bring your attention to your unconscious instincts and behaviors. Assess what drives you – self-love or self-hatred? The romantic gateways are flooding open, asking that you do not settle for less than being treated as a sensual and divine being.
Aquarius
Dare to put aside your pride and sit with the acknowledgment that you have been too quick to form conclusions. Breathe through uncomfortable transitions as the latter half of eclipse season signals it’s time to be straightforward with your opinions and intentions – even at the risk of surprising people. A steady rhythm in your home life will offer a nurturing foundation that you can return to when you realize you have allowed the opinions of the wider world to break your spirit and influence self-doubt. Stay true to your way and your being, regardless of the risks.
Pisces
The attention and praise received from others is not a replacement for that which you give to yourself. Be so rooted in self-love that you realize nothing is impossible, and you deserve to see your wildest dreams materialize. Do not abandon your path for new, sparking, and alluring ideas when others do not believe in the vision that inspires you. As you liberate yourself from burdens created by your desire to be understood, you will find it easier to express yourself from the heart and communicate your needs and values to the right people.
