If you’ve been waiting for life to get going again and get on with the good things, we have good news for you in April 2024!
We start off strong this month as Venus enters Aries on the 5th, continuing the ongoing astrological trend of embracing the bold, go-getter spirit of Aries. And if that doesn’t encourage you to do what you want, the Aries solar eclipse on the 8th might force you into it.
It’s not all spark and adventure, though. Remember, the Sun enters Taurus on the 19th, bringing us into a time of grounded practicality and long-term thinking.
And when Mercury goes direct into Aries on the 25th (closing out another Mercury retrograde), it’s not just time to Doing whatever you want, but also speak about it and tell the world!
We have consulted with the Tarot (with one Major Arcana and one Minor Arcana card each) to see how this passionate, exciting energy will express itself for you.
Your April 2024 Tarotscope
Ram
Justice and Knight of Wands (reverse)
Ram tries to find objectivity and balance, even though that may seem difficult.
Justice shows your honest efforts to find peace, structure, stability and understanding in difficult times. The Knight of Wands reversed can make you feel scattered, insecure and impulsive, but you do your best to keep a cool head and not make rash decisions.
In this way, April 2024 will be defined by your very sincere attempts to find guidance and clarity, even if that is not always the case. feeling very good at the process.
Taurus
The Hierophant (reversed) and 7 wands
Taurus this month opts for a daring, courageous and unconventional approach.
With The Hierophant reversed, you’re not so interested in anything cookie-cutter anymore. You may have an aversion to traditional systems and ways of thinking, causing you to suddenly question systems of authority and existing structures in your life.
Additionally, the 7 of Wands emphasizes a very “me against the world” approach – an independent, go-getter who identifies obstacles and plans to crush them on his or her own.
It’s not always easy to be a contrarian, especially if you walk that path alone. But after all, the path of least resistance isn’t always the most rewarding.
Twin
The Fool (reversed) and 4 of Pentacles
Twinthis month is full of tough obstacles that can make you feel like you’re in a pinch.
The Reverse Fool can make you suddenly sweat the small stuff. Turning this card upside down could be a warning that you are more prone to making foolish decisions, and not as closely connected to your core instincts and your youthful, optimistic self.
As a result, the 4 of Pentacles can show you suddenly becoming stingy and possessive of your resources, desperately clinging to what you already have.
Instead, take a few deep breaths and remember that making a mistake isn’t the end of the world; By reconnecting with your joy, whimsy, and silliness, you can overcome the fear of “doing it wrong.”
Cancer
The Chariot (reverse) and Knight of Swords (reverse)
Cancer is struggling to get the momentum they’re looking for off the ground.
The inverted chariot causes great frustration with your long-term goals and expectations, not only complicating your ability to physically get what you want, but also confusing your sense of identity.
You may wonder if you are capable of what you dream of, and everything can always seem just an inch away, yet never in full view. The Knight of Swords reversed warns that this can cause you to move recklessly and come from a place of impulse and frustration.
We all go through tough times, including you, Cancer – and it’s not always a condemnation of who you are. And just when it seems like nothing can go right, remember that the unexpected could always be around the corner.
Lion
The Emperor and Ace of Wands (reverse)
Lion already has much of what they need to be successful this month.
With The Emperor in your hand, you have opportunities for leadership and the spotlight. Others recognize you as a voice worth listening to and may trust your decision-making and presence this month.
However, the reversed Ace of Wands warns you not to do anything too hastily and also tells you that you don’t really need to create or initiate anything new or sudden.
Rest assured, you can successfully work with what you have and create something great from your existing resources.
Virgin
The devil (reversed) and 2 of cups
Virginit’s time to let go of the burdens you’ve been holding on to.
The Devil has turned around hints that you’ve been holding on to a lot of baggage lately, and you may even have been deliberately avoiding or putting off some of it until later.
This month it’s time to finally do something about it, as the 2 of Cups indicates that it may start to affect your relationships with others.
If you are willing to be emotionally vulnerable, especially with those around you, keep in mind that this can truly be a month of healing and immense growth.
Scale
The star (inverted) and 6 wands
Scalethe road to healing is not always paved with gold and glitter.
Sometimes, with The Star reversed, it’s terribly awkward and clumsy. Your healing and spiritual journey this month may be a little uncomfortable and not always smooth sailing.
Fine! In addition, the 6 of Wands adds that this month other people may recognize some of your efforts and affirm your best qualities, putting you in a good mood when you are having a hard time doing it yourself.
While April can be a mixed bag this month, there’s still plenty to celebrate here.
Scorpion
The Lovers (reverse) and 9 of Swords
Scorpion brings an awkward, serious, and insistent energy to the table for April.
That is: The Lovers turned, and the 9 of Swords brings to attention some deep wounds, especially in the heart, and special about any concerns, insecurities and frustrations you may have about your relationships.
You won’t be able to avoid your inner demons this month, at least not around others. This is a time to seriously examine what hurts you, what drives you to run or hide, and what wounds have gone unresolved.
If you are able to do so, you may find that the light at the end of the tunnel is worth the time you spent searching through darkness and cobwebs.
Archer
The Moon (reversed) and Knight of Pentacles
Archer strives for clarity and understanding, but not in the usual way.
You tend to feel your way through events like The Moon Reversed, wanting to understand it through your own eccentric, unconventional means. But now that you have the Knight of Pentacles here, you now try to move through the world more practically.
You have work, career, and financial responsibilities that require your attention, and you realize that prioritizing these matters can actually reveal answers about yourself that were previously hidden.
Unsurprisingly, Sagittarius never strives to remain predictable, and it seems you’ve found a new method to apply your madness to this month.
Ibex
Power (reverse) and 3 wands
Ibexyou may not feel like you have everything you need, but that doesn’t have to stop you.
While Power in reverse shows you with some shakiness and uncertainty, the 3 of Wands ultimately paints this month as a month of expansion, progress, adventure, and moving forward with some of your current ideas.
You may not have 100% confidence in yourself right now, but you need to find some confidence in your ideas and the potential you have already brought into the world through your intentions.
In April, some of those ideas will boomerang back to you and now begin to bloom out of their original shell.
Aquarius
The High Priestess and Two Wands (reverse)
Aquarius is connecting more consciously with their intuition this month, but the same obstacles from March seem to linger.
The two inverted wands were a warning sign last month to slow down and not feel rushed in making important decisions, and it remains here again even as the High Priestess emerges as a positive omen for your intuitive abilities .
Sometimes knowing what is true doesn’t necessarily mean we should immediately pursue it. This set of cards confirms that you know what’s going on, but still warns against acting too hastily.
Trust what you know… and trust that your intuition can also tell you when the timing is right.
Fishing
Temperance & Ace of Pentacles (reversed)
Fishingit’s time to make some magic happen.
However, moderation is not the kind of magic with glitter and surprises. Instead, it requires patience, steady intuitive processing, and a harmonization of body, mind, and spirit.
That’s because this month the reversed Ace of Pentacles can cause frustration as things don’t improve for you with material opportunities (work, finances and the start of new projects). This can be frustrating, but Temperance sheds light on what you are can make progress this month.
And the results may not be so obvious at first, but nurturing that inner spirit can lead to greater long-term prosperity in the long run.
How to make April work for you
Most of the time we look at the maps, stars and planets and wonder how we can work with the available energy.
But now that there’s so much Fire energy in play (thanks to that fire-starting Aries energy), it might be time to see how you can make the energy work for you.
After all, this month is all about taking control of the hand you’ve been dealt, even if the cards you’ve been dealt aren’t your favorites or the most “positive” cards in the deck.
We’ve rounded up some of our most essential resources, tailored for April 2024, to help you get started as you embark on this journey of taking control:
