Monthly Horoscope: Scorpio, April 2021

The sun is illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your daily routines and rituals, finding you rethinking your schedule, getting organized, kicking some habits you’ve outgrown, and taking on new gigs and projects! The sun in fire sign Aries is an energizing time for you to tackle your to-do list and charge ahead with your goals. 

On April 2, Mercury in fellow water sign Pisces connects with Pluto in Capricorn, finding you having juicy conversations and connecting with some intriguing people! This is an exciting moment for your love life and creative collaborations. The energy shifts on April 3, when Mercury enters Aries, placing even more focus on getting organized in your day job and daily schedule. Venus is also in Aries at the start of the month, which finds you rethinking your beauty routine. On April 6, Venus connects with Mars in Gemini, helping you sort out the most awkward, uncomfortable, wobbly issues with ease! 

Mars clashes with hazy Neptune on April 9, and gone is the decisive, action taking atmosphere—the mood is exhausted! People may be taking shortcuts, being lazy, or even lying. You might feel frustrated that something you want feels impossibly far away…but don’t forget that Neptune is the planet of illusions and delusions, so there’s no need to despair! Stay grounded and avoid paranoia. A much more grounded energy flows around communication as Mercury connects with taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius and sweet Venus connects with lucky Jupiter in Aquarius on April 10. This bodes especially well for organizing things at home and getting along with your family and loved ones! 

You’re embracing new routines, habits, and even work as the new moon in Aries arrives on April 11. If you’re looking for a new gig or trying to start a new routine, this is a great full moon to change your habits—though things are also intense as Venus clashes with your ruling planet Pluto, stirring up messy emotions, power struggles, control issues, and even jealousy. A difficult conversation about values, desires, self-esteem, or relationships may come up. A big theme for you this month is facing the truth and having intense conversations, and this new moon is especially important for recognizing what’s important to you and making necessary changes so you can have what you value. Because control issues may come to the fore at this time, watch out for manipulators; it may be wise to bring in a third party to help mediate things.

The sun connects with Mars on April 13, inspiring a fantastic go-getter attitude, helping you tackle the items on your to-do list that you’ve been putting off. Venus enters Taurus on April 14, bringing blessings to the relationship sector of your chart—this is a fantastic time to connect with cuties or strengthen the connection in already established relationships.

The sun connects with Jupiter on April 15, creating an expansive, optimistic atmosphere, but the sun squares off with Pluto on April 16, finding you having more hard conversations: Plans or ideas may be cancelled or struck down. Sometimes it’s hard to say no, but it’s crucial that you set boundaries at this time. You may be realizing that you’ve been thinking about things in a way that isn’t practical or true, and could mean having to make some difficult changes. You might feel mentally exhausted at this time, too, so reach out for support!

Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align on April 17, helping you get your thoughts in order. Reconnecting with your home or roots may feel especially uplifting or inspiring at this time. Mercury and Pluto square off on April 17, another critical moment for coming to terms with the truth: Mercury is the planet of information and Pluto rules hidden things, so when they clash, important information comes to light. If you’ve been carrying a secret, this is a powerful time to discuss it with someone. 

The sun meets Mercury on April 18, marking an important moment for communication. A new schedule or routine may be manifesting. Mercury and the sun enter your opposite sign Taurus on April 19, bringing a big shift in energy: Your attention turns from work to your relationships! This is a fantastic moment to connect with people and learn more about your partner’s point of view; you might learn some surprising things as Venus and Uranus meet on April 22! This is a wild, thrill-seeking moment filled with novelty and surprise. Your partners might behave in unexpected ways or make unusual requests—stay open-minded! Action planet Mars enters fellow water sign Cancer on April 23, activating the sector of your chart that rules travel, learning, and publishing, making it an exciting moment to connect with the world, learn, and share ideas. 

Mercury meets Uranus on April 24, bringing unexpected news—again, your partners may be sharing some unusual ideas, or you might connect with someone quite eccentric! Mercury and Venus meet after clashing with Saturn on April 25, finding you setting important boundaries, especially around your home and family life—a fantastic conversation with a partner may ensue! Setting boundaries can be hard, but sometimes an open and honest conversation can follow. With chatty Mercury and darling Venus in harmonious connection, it’s likely that happy, or at least diplomatic, connections can be formed even as firm limits are set.

The full moon in Scorpio arrives on April 26, which is an especially emotional moment for you, little scorpion! Emotions come to the surface and a situation that’s likely concerning your relationships comes to a climax. You may reveal or learn something important about yourself at this time. Your ruling planet Pluto begins its retrograde on April 27, finding you having some intense conversations. You’re especially eager to learn the truth at this time. Mercury and Neptune connect on April 29, boosting your already strong intuition, and inspiring vulnerability and open-heartedness in your communications. The sun meets Uranus on April 30, and the mood is all about freedom. Again, you might connect with some eccentric people! Uranus is all about invention, and as it meets the sun, some brilliant changes or upgrades could take place in your relationship, but they will require you having an open mind and let go of any control issues.

Good luck this month, Scorpio, and see you in May!
