Welcome to Aries season, dear Virgo!
Aries and Taurus

The sun in fearless fire sign Aries inspires a boldness in you, Virgo, encouraging you to cut off situations that drain your energy. This is also a powerful time to handle issues concerning debts, taxes, inheritances, or shared resources. This is a powerful moment to gain closure and leave the past behind you…Aries energy is all about going forward and not looking back! Some decisive moves are made at this time.

The start of the month also finds your ruling planet Mercury in your opposite sign Pisces, activating the relationship sector of your chart and boosting communication between you and your partners. Especially juicy conversations take place as Mercury connects with Pluto in Capricorn on April 2—this is a powerful opportunity to discuss your deepest desires!

You’re handling paperwork concerning debts, taxes, and all sorts of other complicated financial issues as Mercury enters Aries on April 3. While you can sometimes be accused of being a perfectionist, you’re usually quite tactful! However, your patience might be shorter while Mercury is in Aries, and you might be much more blunt. Venus is also in Aries at the start of the month, encouraging you to ask for the help you need instead of going it alone, and on April 6, it connects with Mars in Gemini, which bodes well for your career and life in public. Someone may be interested in investing in you, or an exciting shift concerning money or your reputation could take place. 

Mars clashes with Neptune in Pisces on April 9, creating a muddied, confusing energy in your relationships. Watch out for passive aggressive behavior—or even shadiness! People may be taking short cuts or being lazy. Paranoia could also be heightened, so take it slow, catch up on rest, and do your best to stay grounded. Mercury connects with Saturn in Aquarius and Venus connects with Jupiter in Aquarius on April 10, creating a much more focused and grounded energy around communication. This is a wonderful time for problem solving, and you’re smoothing over any awkward or annoying issues. The new moon in Aries arrives on April 11, bringing you a clean slate. This is a very powerful time to pay off a debt, or to accept or offer an apology. Again, Aries leaps forward without looking back—you’re ready to cut some ties and move on with your life.

This is an intense new moon, as Venus also clashes with the planet of the underworld, Pluto, which is currently in Capricorn. Venus is all about unity and harmony, while Pluto can stir up issues of power and control; their clash can be one emotionally fraught! Best case, you consciously use this energy to explore power in your relationships, and make a powerfully transformative, creative time that’s especially thrilling for your sex life! But if you’re in relationships with people are jealous or straight up untrustworthy or manipulative, this is an important moment to set boundaries and get the help of a third party. 

An uptick in energy arrives as the sun connects with Mars on April 13, and Venus enters fellow earth sign Taurus on April 14, bringing some love letters from abroad or finding you and your partners reconnecting on an intellectual level, discussing your philosophies and dreams for the future! The sun connects with Jupiter on April 15, bringing a burst of good luck—but be careful not to over-commit to plans. This is an exciting moment in your travels and studies! But as the sun also clashes with Pluto on April 16, be mindful of power struggles; people’s egos are sensitive at this time!

Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align on April 17, creating a productive and communicative atmosphere, and some intense conversations are likely to take place as Mercury and Pluto square off on this day, too. The sun meets Mercury on April 18, bringing an important perspective: You may finally get a good understanding of how much someone can invest in you. The energy shifts as your ruling planet Mercury and the sun enter fellow earth sign Taurus on April 19, inspiring an open-minded, fire spirited atmosphere! The energy is especially free as Venus and Uranus meet on April 22: You’re eager to experiment and are craving novelty and excitement! 

Action planet Mars enters Cancer on April 23, igniting the sector of your chart that rules your social life and making this a very active time for networking, connecting with friends old and new, and joining groups and organizations that share your passions and goals. Mercury meets Uranus on April 24, bringing some surprising news or a philosophical breakthrough; a new perspective may totally change the way you interact with the world.

Mercury and Venus meet after clashing with Saturn on April 25, helping you set important boundaries around your schedule, time, and energy. The full moon in Scorpio arrives on April 26, bringing a climax to a conversation that’s been building over the past few weeks. Information may be revealed! Scorpio is often called the detective of the zodiac, and this full moon may find you looking beneath the surface and getting important intel.

Pluto retrograde begins on April 27, creating an intense atmosphere in the sector of your chart that rules creativity and romance, and you’re diving deeper into these themes. Mercury and Neptune connect on April 29, creating an open-hearted energy around communication: It’s a lovely time to connect with your partners and talk about your feelings, dreams, and fantasies.
