April is at least starting off on an interesting note. Mercury goes retrograde on April 1, the Sun and North Node form a conjunction, and Venus moves from Pisces to Aries, where it meets Pluto. All these aspects seem to prepare us for the solar eclipse on April 8. Read your weekly horoscope for April 1-7 for your sun sign, rising sign and moon sign to get a complex picture of your personal forecast.
Your weekly horoscope for April 1-7
Aries: March 21 – April 19
This week may seem like total chaos to you, dear Aries. With so many planets in your zodiac sign, you will have to take it easier than you are used to. The conjunction between the Sun and the North Node pushes you towards a new phase of life, whether you like it or not. You’ll want to start something new, and with Venus entering your sign, chances are you’ll go for what your heart desires. Whether it’s a new love interest or a career path, you have the cosmic support to succeed.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Dear Taurus, with Jupiter and Uranus in your sign, changes will occur, especially in your career sector. You know how to choose what suits you best, and thanks to Jupiter you can get there right away. If you have water sign friends, take them out for coffee. They can use their intuition to help you identify the hidden opportunities in your life and pursue them.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Gemini, your ruler, Mercury, goes retrograde in Aries. But of all the signs, you and Virgo are the most used to all the Mercury scandals. It’s a good time to wrap up old projects, revisit past goals you haven’t yet achieved, and question your routine to see if there’s room for a better, more productive one. What you don’t want to do during this retrograde is contact your past partners. Aries season invites you to look to the future, while Mercury retrograde tells you that you need to rebuild your life to fit your vision.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
Dear Cancer, communication will be difficult this week and most conversations will not go your way. But this isn’t really a surprise with Mercury retrograde. Yet you have a blooming energy that keeps you in a good mood all week long. You may feel the need to relax more and focus on your family, and the first week of April will give you the opportunity to do that.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
With the Sun, your ruler, in fire sign Aries and forming a conjunction with the North Node, you won’t have time to feel this Mercury retrograde. Even if there are communication problems, your attention is drawn to something much more important: your fate. Perhaps this week you feel a divine calling and are compelled to follow it, even if you don’t understand it. This can be a time to break free from what is holding you back and start a new phase in your life.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Dear Virgo, with Lilith in your sign and your ruler, Mercury, retrograde in Aries, you’ll want to keep things quiet this week. This is not the astrological environment in which you feel safe to express yourself. Take care of your health, try to maintain your routine and don’t make drastic decisions. Your time to shine will come, but not with Lilith and Mercury in your corner of heaven.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Dear Libra, your ruler planet Venus moves from Pisces to Aries, forming a sextile with Pluto and a slight conjunction with Neptune. That’s a lot to process in one week! You go from one mood to another and usually feel quite extreme. Venus makes you aware of your highest dreams thanks to its conjunction with Neptune, and gives you the power to follow them as she enters Aries.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Dear Scorpio, with Pluto in Aquarius and in a sextile with Venus, your heart and mind will be all over the place this week. You’re only focused on the things you love and you don’t even realize there’s a Mercury retrograde going on. Of course, communication can be affected, but you know how to develop your language and still have a strong voice in your environment. Venus invites you to follow your heart and bring some light into your life, maybe even a romantic getaway at the end of the week!
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Sagittarius, with your ruler, Jupiter, in Taurus, you may feel bored and stagnant. Your sense of humor is also not at its best, so you may not like jokes and pranks, which is ironic because April Fool’s Day is just around the corner. It might be wiser to keep to yourself this week or hang out with a perfect friend who knows your weird side and can tolerate it. Avoid sudden changes as they may not go in the direction you hope.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Dear Capricorn, you’re feeling dreamier than usual with your ruler, Saturn, in Pisces. The moon in your zodiac sign will also feed that energy and make you more sensitive and moody. You bring your ideas to life and feel a strong desire to pursue your ambitions. However, with Mercury retrograde, you still need to pay attention to how you communicate with people. You may say the wrong thing due to too much moon energy, which affects vital relationships in your life.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
With Pluto in your sign and Uranus, your ruler in Taurus, you will feel challenged, dear Aquarius. But even if Uranus is uncomfortable in Taurus, you can still get through this week by trusting your beliefs. Stick to what you know and resist questioning your own identity. It’s an excellent week to develop some ambition and pursue your dreams with more drive. Uranus may force you to change certain routines that no longer serve you, but all of these changes will be in your best interest.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Dear Pisces, you still have many planets in your sign. Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune meet until Venus enters Aries. All these planets bring you a lot of self-awareness. You will better understand your path and know how to follow it. It’s almost as if the universe is talking directly to you. And even Mercury retrograde can’t slow you down. Maybe avoid sharing every corner of your soul with other people because chances are they won’t understand anyway.
