YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR APRIL
What’s in the stars for you this month?
April isn’t just about rain showers and new tax years (thankfully!). It’s also about transitioning from winter to spring. This year, that feels especially challenging. So, what’s required is some tender, loving self-care. Grab a yoga mat and start the day with a few sun salutations – exercise, even done solo, is great for mental health. So is writing. Why not journal some positive affirmations? You’ll be amazed by the power they have. And never underestimate the small joy of new make-up! Read on for your horoscope for the month, from Britain’s coolest astrologer, Carolyne Faulkner.
ARIES 20 Mar – 18 April
This is your month to shine and 2020 offers a welcome break from the shifting sands of past years. Uranus recently left your sign, after a seven-year residency. This probably caused unpredictable changes and pressure. This was to encourage growth and to push you toward achieving your best self. You may now build a solid structure within frameworks that will offer you the chance to reach dizzying heights. Your ruler Mars connects with Aquarius for the first time in several years, which evokes fun, even if it’s from the safety of your own home.
TAURUS 19 Apr – 19 May
Venus, planet of peace and harmony, is in your sign until April 3rd. Make the most of this star-sent abundance of charm to heal disagreements and cultivate peace.
GEMINI 20 May – 19 Jun
Venus shifts into your sign on April 3rd, which enables you to lighten up. Share your lightness with others and avoid low-vibe people and pastimes.
CANCER 20 Jun – 21 Jul
The moon is in your sign on April 1st and 2nd, forming a connection to the North Node. This is a deeply karmic time, with chances to gain new insights.
LEO 22 Jul – 21 Aug
On March 31st, Mars and Saturn oppose your sign, which will likely result in a call to action to assist in a cause close to your heart. Do so, but be sure to protect your energy from burnout.
VIRGO 22 Aug – 21 Sep
The moon in your sign on April 5th and 6th helps you to focus and then tackle aspects of your life that are no longer serving your purpose. Review what needs to be released.
LIBRA 22 Sep – 21 Oct
Chiron, the wounded healer, is in Aries and is opposing your sign, giving you the opportunity to appreciate who and where you are and with whom.
SCORPIO 22 Oct – 20 Nov
Mars in Aquarius is squaring up to your sign, so breakthroughs in the personal and professional environment are likely. A complete overhaul could be necessary.
SAGITTARIUS 21 Nov – 20 Dec
Venus connects to your sign for several weeks, bringing in some fresh sparks and all-round uplifting vibes. Time to lift your own and others’ spirits.
CAPRICORN 21 Dec – 19 Jan
Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn form an exact conjunction on April 5th, and this is an almighty partnership; opportunities for transformation flow, as do fresh ideas and solutions.
AQUARIUS 20 Jan – 18 Feb
Saturn just moved into your sign for the first time since the 1990s, causing a mass awakening. For many its your Saturn return. Unplug! Keep serotonin high and prioritise wellbeing and new goals.
PISCES 19 Feb – 20 Mar
Mercury is in your sign until April 11th, which heightens communications and expands the mind, so train it with calm and meditation. Replace fear with faith.
