Your April 2023 Monthly Horoscope and Zodiac Predictions

Spring is in full swing as temperatures rise and tulips bloom with April gearing up to follow suit and deliver a bouquet of abundance -- for those willing to work for it.

While we're in the midst of Aries season, the first sign of the zodiac and a cardinal one at that, grabbing life by the rams' horns is the name of the game. The sun and Mercury are situated in the fiery sign and considering that the latter orb is the planet of communication, this alignment is pushing you to speak now -- forget forever holding your peace. On April 3, however, Mercury makes its way into mellow and pragmatic Taurus, reminding you to lay some groundwork before taking action to set yourself up for success.

The cosmos are feeling collaborative as a Libra full moon on April 6 will transform you into a social butterfly. Represented by the balancing scales, Libras are known for their networking skills and charisma. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and money, the upcoming lunation will nudge you to hit up that friend you've been meaning to get lunch with for ages. Investing in your relationships might just hold the key to your success in the future, pointing you in the right direction.

A community-oriented perspective is just what you need as Jupiter, the planet of luck and joy will be joining up with the sun in Aries on April 11, bringing you an extra helping of good fortune and growth. Although the planets are taking up space in Aries, their position will be a catalyst for all signs' entering their self-discovery era. This cosmic coupling creates an atmosphere of exploration and inspired action, giving you the time and space to determine what your heart truly yearns for. Venus is also making its way into chatty Gemini, so getting together with your close group of friends may be a high priority the week of the tenth.

On April 20, the tide is high as the new moon rises into the sky, bringing us into Taurus season with the first solar eclipse of the year. The auspicious date invites us to slow down and chart our course over the next few weeks. The next day sees Mercury in its age-old retrograde in the earth sign. While the planet's reversal usual sparks fear in even the astrological skeptics' hearts, this particular orbit will bring you just what you need. As we enter the fourth month of the year, we may be burning the candles at both ends, trying to get ahead. A Mercury retrograde in Taurus, on the other hand, urges you to enjoy the present moment and go touch some grass.
