april horoscopes
Hi everyone,
How was March? There was a two week period mid-month that was especially rough. I imagine that some things feel slightly more quiet now … but new pots are clamoring(!), boiling to their brims soon (almost a little too soon…) We are entering eclipse season, which is always a chaotic time.
Historically, they say, hide your kings! Avoid undue attention, lay low, lay down. I’ll be back in touch next month.
Announcement:
No more readings slots this month! Please check back next month! :)

horoscopes below!
In April, spring emerges as an unavoidable sprout, wart. This month, we sit at the negotiation table.
The full moon in Libra on April 5th-6th brings sweetness, to connect, intuit, create, put words to feelings, forgive, and gloss over, like saran-wrap on the phone lens. The music feels cinematic.
Venus enters Gemini on the 10th/11th, and we enter in a new space of pollination. We push puzzle pieces together for fun. Jumping between parties in one night… yelling sweet nothings to your friends across the subway platform. One of the first hard aspects with this new Saturn in Pisces, the 13th/14th of April, might be interesting to pay attention to, especially around what this Saturn may be wanting to teach us. There may be some constriction around beauty, harmony, connection. If you’re trying to do too many things at once, or bouncing too many ideas around, Saturn may ask you to slow down and really feel things out.
Another special moment is the 11th/12th, when the sun conjoins Jupiter. As the beginning of a new cycle, we are here to bravely to venture into a new arena.
All of this I write about pales in comparison to the more dramatic aspects of the month, which must be addressed. We are now in eclipse season. As I’ve written before, eclipses are dramatic moments in which fate comes in, heavy-handed, moves around, knocks down pieces in the gameboard of our life. We feel the electric wire under our eyelids and skin. End of April this energy arrives, albeit in a new arena of our life. This specific alignment has the energy of a bratty kid, grinning as they skim just barely underneath the scolding hand of censure. In slow motion, just as they think they’ve gotten past the trouble, smooth runner they are, they see the ravine under their feet, the rumble of the earth that is big and ravenous.
And right afterwards, Mercury stations retrograde. Imagine this kid again, they shake in their feet, in their withered impishness. As they land, they must scramble. We may be in this position of scrambling end of the month, searching for ways to build our resources in a way that aligns with our desires.
I hope you take in the sweet moments just as you can appreciate the big ones, that are less sweet and more spicy. May brings some sour. But all things pass, and we will hold onto each other through it.
horoscopes - aries solar eclipse
Aries
We are back to Aries season, to the time of your rebirth. This year, you are indeed one of the major characters. You’re not only getting some of your groove back, but this year you’re also exploring new dimensions of yourself you’ve never seen before or haven’t exercised in a long time. You’ll need to be brave, but that’s a fun challenge for you. Bravery at this time may require tending to the wounds at home and accepting the challenge to take care of yourself.
Taurus
This month may be a mixed bag. One one hand, you have a lot going for you, this is a magnetic and pleasurable time. On the other hand, your health, mental or physical, may bring a lot of pressure. Because so much is happening in your 12th house, a house of shadows, there’s a lot brewing from behind a cloud of unintelligibility that requires you to be patient and recognize the ways you may be the one holding the weapon. It could be a great moment of healing for you.
Gemini
The last seven to eight months have been a whirlwind for you. You’ve been busy, prone to accidents, and embodying the god of war. Now in April, some of that slacks off. The focus of this month rather is on your relationships, especially those of friendships and community. You’ll be challenged in many ways to align yourself more closely with those who bring out that spark in you. What that requires are people who know what it means to be there for each other through grief, trauma, and difficult times.
Cancer
This month you may be promoted onto a new stage. But like most promotions, you don’t just get an ego boost, a nice feeling about the hard work you’ve done, but you also get a new set of challenges, a new set of peers, and new way of understanding who’s with you and who is hating. Perhaps the astrology of April will manifest in crises with authority. If it’s not your own authority, than it may instead be related to having curried favor with someone with authority. You’ll learn more these next few years about your own ambition and desires of growth.
Leo
This month will help you get real about your beliefs. What are you willing to invest in, how far are you willing to go. Where is the community of your spirit located in this physical realm? Pay attention to which writers and thinkers you are drawn to.
You’ll have to face some ways you allow others to dictate how you feel. When you open the door, you may experience a gust of chilly air come in. This chilly air wants you believe that you’re so separate from this world. This thought is one you’ll have to wrestle with over and over; in other words, it’s your special angel.
Virgo
This month might hold some special challenges. You’ve had to learn so much about relationships, and this theme continues. This aspect doesn’t just show up in your closest relationships, it’ll appear wherever you turn if you try to run away.
This month sinks that lesson in deeper. For every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. I think for you this could manifest in a few ways. Maybe ways you’ve needed to react, defend or assert yourself, it could tumble all out this month. Yes, let it out. Or if you’ve been really assertive without giving space for others’ feedback, that will tumble out this month too.
Libra
This is a big month for you. Relationships are on fire for you this month. Career/work concerns tie into conflicts and new connections. You’re thinking about creativity, pleasure, childhood. The foundation in which you see your life is shifting, shaking, and remaking itself. When you interact with people, especially those who are acting selfishly, being difficult or inconsiderate, try to ground yourself in the reality. Are they deliberately hurting you, or are you caught in the crossfire of their own bullshit? Either way, if it’s possible, choose to step aside and let them on their own path.
Scorpio
Health and work are big themes this month. I wonder if you’ve been pushing yourself a lot? After all, there are boundless horizons to explore. Perhaps, you’re experiencing some of the more difficult parts of inflammation. You want to push yourself, experience the range of your power and determination, but this month I would take it just a little bit easier.
Mercury retrograde will have you revisiting some conversations. It’s in the house of your partnerships, so you may need to be more considerate or take a more embodied approach in how you share your thoughts with others. Most importantly, with Taurus, you’ll need to center your needs.
Sagittarius
You have a lot of new growth in romance, creativity, and play. Early month it’s abundant, but later month, it gets a little complicated. I’d be careful of running too far on this engine. Enjoy the gifts while they are there, and scale back when things catch on fire. Keep things simmering at the heat that is good for you.
Your chart ruler Jupiter will be under the beams for most of the month, so a lot of things may be happening more under the surface. Take this time to be more low-key, and brew some really potent things in secret.
Capricorn
This is a big month in your home life. A new chapter in your home life begins, whether it actually involves moving home, getting new living partners, or new arrangements with family members. With the eclipses, some new problems may also emerge. You’ll be thinking about where you call home for the next two years, through this eclipse cycle.
Mercury retrograde will have you doing some re-working of a creative project, possibly editing and re-editing final touches. There won’t be relief until May, but if you can love the process of unknotting things, slowly and gently, this could be a good moment to let that take over.
Aquarius
This month you may experience a bit more aggravation in your local community, in writing, in the conceptual arena of neighbors and kin. If you have a vehicle, I’d be wary about accidents and injuries. You may be also dealing with a lot of work, maintenance, playing catch-up, and some problems around home may reappear late month for you to do the proper fixing up.
Pisces
This month might be a bit draining, taking a lot out of your wallet and energy bank. Some decisions might come up, where it’s hard not to be triggered and respond from a scarcity mindset. The challenge is to maintain a balance between what you need to do to maintain your stability and what you need to engage generously with the world. I sense some of this may be related to your creative world, perhaps a feeling of defensiveness or insecurity has crept in. Those feelings of weakness are a natural part of life. You’ve got this. Take this time to rebuild your courage and inner strength.
