Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Happy solar return, Taurus. Your season begins this month, and you should absolutely celebrate your birthday all month long. However, messenger Mercury insists that you communicate with your friends and loved ones, so they know what to do for your birthday. So don’t pretend like you don’t care; you deserve all the cake and attention. There’s an eclipse this month, which is best spent at home relaxing, plus the start of Mercury retrograde, but as long as you don’t give in and text an ex, this month looks to be one of the most joyous times of the year.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Watch out, Gemini. Your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, begins one of its infamous backward dances this month, and as usual, you may be affected more than other signs. However, the stars indicate that Taurus season should be quite promising for your career, so you’ll likely be too busy even to notice the retrograde. Plus, Venus, the planet of love, enters your sign this month, Gemini, blessing your love life as well. Read your full April horoscope here, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

If you have any disagreements or stress in your friendships, you can work them out early in April thanks to moves from messenger Mercury, Cancer. And, it’s advised to take care of important conversations early in the month, as the latter half of April brings a potentially dramatic eclipse, plus the start of Mercury retrograde. However, the solar eclipse, which happens in bold Aries, may also bring welcome news regarding your work or passion project, giving you a reason to celebrate.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Early April presents networking opportunities, and in this economy, it’s best to take advantage of them, Leo. And, while we’re thinking about hopes and dreams, keep an eye on your inbox during the full moon in Libra, as you may hear welcome news regarding your work or passion project. This month also brings a stressful eclipse and Mercury retrograde, but with the proper self-care, you’ll be just fine and ready to enjoy laid-back Taurus season.  Read your full April horoscope here, Leo.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, begins one of its infamous retrogrades this month, Virgo. As the healer of the zodiac, you know a thing or two about self-care. This month, you may be called to share your knowledge with others, whether through the power of social media or simply talking to friends. However, be as selfish as you want during the full moon in Libra. This beautiful lunation lights up the sky but may leave you feeling on edge, so make sure to treat yourself to wellness routines and plenty of sleep. Read your full April horoscope here, Virgo.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Your love life is currently experiencing a makeover, Libra. While it’s absolutely for the best (the stars love you, especially your ruling planet, romantic Venus), transitions can be stressful. The second half of April brings a chaotic eclipse and the start of Mercury retrograde, so try to have important talks, especially about your romantic relationships, early in the month. And make sure to enjoy luxurious self-care during the full moon in your sign.  Read your full April horoscope here, Libra.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You have a powerful and protective stinger, Scorpio, and you’re not afraid to attack. However, your task this month is to be careful how to use it. While you crave love and intimacy, sometimes you can push (or sting) people away when what you truly desire is love and attention. So, during April (especially around the Libra full moon), make sure only to sting when truly necessary, express your feelings, and let your loved ones know how much you appreciate them.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You’re the most independent sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius. As the bold archer, it’s crucial that you get alone time to pursue your hobbies or intellectual interests as part of your ongoing, life-long quest for knowledge. However, during the full moon in Libra, prepare to hit the town with your closest friends and have a ball. Just beware of overconsumption of alcohol or other vices, as full moons can lead to drama.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

The stars call you out this month, Capricorn. Are you putting enough energy into your personal and romantic relationships? You have a reputation for being a workaholic. While this is primarily an unfair stereotype, you can put people on the back burner while pouring yourself into a passion project or working to make a name for yourself. However, April brings an eclipse that may come with swift endings or beginnings, so if you don’t remind your loved ones that you care about them, some distance may form in your personal life.  Read your full April horoscope here, Capricorn.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Hey, Aquarius. Are you tired of being reminded that you have a reputation for trying to save the world but are unable to text your loved ones back? April presents you with some cosmic communication challenges in the form of an eclipse and Mercury retrograde. This month firmly asks you to prioritize your personal relationships. You may be known as the humanitarian of the zodiac, but to feel your best and do your best, you must nurture relationships and build a solid foundation at home.  Read your full April horoscope here, Aquarius.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You feel like a homebody for most of April, and that’s okay Pisces. From a stressful eclipse to the start of Mercury retrograde, it’s an ideal month to get cozy and catch up with loved ones (or your favorite TV show) at home. Just keep an eye on your inbox around the full moon on Wednesday, April 5. While astrologers can’t promise cash, we can tell you what dates the stars indicate welcome professional news, and this is one of them.
