Your Stars FOR APRIL

THE MOON & YOU

April’s New Moon eclipse brings new beginnings; make moves based on feelings rather than facts. The Libra Full Moon arrives on 6 April at 5.34am; consider where you’re lacking balance. The Aries Solar Eclipse on 20 April will bring new developments.

STAR OF THE MONTH ARIES 21 March to 20 April

Behold! This month brings a New Moon eclipse in your sign, which is the heavens’ way of telling you there’s a new start coming your way. It may not be easy and you will probably need to close one door to open another, but it’s exciting! Life is about to feel as though it’s on fast forward.

TAURUS 21 April to 21 May

It’s a big month for everyone, thanks to the New Moon eclipse, but you’re getting a double whammy. Mercury is also about to retrograde – this time, in your sign! Prepare to rethink, revisit and review. Second chances abound; where would you like to make a change in your life? Set the intention and make it happen. GEMINI 22 May to 22 June It’s hard to know what’s most important to tell you. The New Moon eclipse this month means you can make a wish that comes true. Decide what you want to manifest and make your wish on 20 April. Plus, your ruler Mercury starts a retrograde cycle, so you need to go over things in detail, rather than forging ahead.

CANCER 23 June to 23 July

Hopefully the past few months have seen your professional life soaring, or you’ve been recognised for your achievements elsewhere in your life. This month, all that can go up another notch – the trick is to aim high and believe in yourself. In other news, an old friend is back on the scene.

LEO 24 July to 23 August

There’s a New Moon eclipse this month and it’s taking place in your Career Zone. So, what are your ambitions? What have you yet to achieve? If you don’t work – and actually, even if you do – what’s on your bucket list? Now is the time to start ticking things off it! The eclipse will be the wind beneath your wings.

VIRGO 24 August to 23 September

If you’re feeling stuck with no chance of escape, the New Moon eclipse in your Travel Zone this month really could change all that. If you want to get away (or if you want to return to studying), now is the time to declare your intentions to the Universe, and then take the inspired action needed to make it real.

LIBRA 24 September to 23 October

As you might know, you’re in a positive cycle now, thanks to Jupiter being in your opposite sign. Hopefully this month sees things going from good to even better for you, as the eclipse fires up the part of your chart associated with being honest about money in your relationship. You love to love, so open your heart. Now is also the time to spoil yourself. SCORPIO 24 October to 22 November There’s a New Moon in your Love Zone this month, but it’s not just any New Moon – it’s a New Moon eclipse! In other words, if you want to spice up your romantic life, now is the time. Even the most established of couples could feel like there’s been something new added to their relationship.

SAGITTARIUS 23 November to 21 December

You’re never too old to change your life (and by the way, no one is calling you old!). Just be aware of this now, as the April eclipse fires up the part of your chart to do with your daily life. Which routines are working for you and what else can you do to make your life feel more functional? Do that.

CAPRICORN 22 December to 20 January

When you signed up to be a Capricorn this lifetime, you took on a lot of karma! Being a Capricorn has been very intense for the past decade or two, as you might have noticed. All that is easing up now, though, and this month’s eclipse is reminding you that laughter and having fun is the best medicine… for everything!

AQUARIUS 21 January to 19 February

As you go through some massive life changes this year, remember to breathe and refocus. This month, we have the New Moon eclipse triggering your Home Zone, so expect seismic shifts when it comes to home, family and your personal life. Now is the time to detox anything in your private life that you know needs it. Be truthful with yourself.

PISCES 20 February to 20 March

While you learn to contend with having Saturn in your sign all this year and beyond, there is one thing you really need to work on – a positive mental attitude. The more you can focus on what you want (rather than on what you don’t want), the better your life is going to be! It’s crucial you understand this as soon as possible.
