New Horoscope: Freaky, Flirty April

The eclipse season craze could have you feeling roasted like Justin Bieber, but things are about to improve. Last month completed a stressful period of transition caused by the powerful square aspect between Uranus and Pluto that has been creating tension for more than two years. Now that you're on the other side, the lunar eclipse in Libra on April 4 will finally push out all the bad vibes and make space for something new and fresh to happen. After the eclipse, you can count on a serious cool-down compared with the frantic activity that characterized March. To help us settle into the new normal, Mars, the planet of action, relaxes in laid-back Taurus until mid-May, lending a solid, sweet, although slightly stubborn energy to the spring vibes. Venus, the planet of love, enters flirtatious Gemini on April 11, which will make the end of the month extremely social. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to strangers—chances are you will have something interesting to share.




The sun shines bright on you this month, so kick back and work on your cosmic tan. The end of March was hectic and you deserve to have a moment in the sun to relax and process all the changes that took place before you blaze forward into the future. You like to be totally in charge of your destiny, and if you left March feeling rudderless in a sea of strange and unexpected change, the eclipse in Libra on April 4 will help you take back the reigns and fire forward. This eclipse falls in your seventh house of partnerships, which could signify the ending, or possibly the beginning, of a significant relationship. If there's energy you want to remove from your life and never deal with again, make your feelings known on the eclipse and you'll have the opportunity to cast off this vibe forever. For more than two years, Aries have had to deal with constant change due to the hard aspect between transformative Pluto and revolutionary Uranus. Think back—how has your life progressed since 2013? The eclipse on April 4 will be the final stage of this chrysalis you've been in for the past two years, and you're SO ready to emerge into the next phase free and clear.

Your ruling planet Mars, which dictates your energy levels, entered totally laid-back Taurus on March 30. Under this alignment you will be ready to relax and enjoy sensual pleasures. You will continue to plow forward, and things can't and won't stand still, but your energy will be much more fixed and grounded than it was last month while Mars was in Aries igniting your life and helping you initiate new projects that will keep you occupied in the months to come. Luxury loving Venus follows Mars in Taurus, her favorite sign, transiting your second house of financial rewards. This influence could totally help you increase your cashflow, but it will make you want to spend money just as fast as you make it. If you use this influence correctly, you'll have a major opportunity to improve your financial situation, but if you fall into the trap you could just come home with a bag of designer clothing. Chances are you'll be happy either way, but it would be nice to have something to show in the long run.
 


Channel your inner warrior while Mars, the planet of action, is in Taurus and firing you up this month. April is a no-chill zone and couch potato time is totally over—it’s time to get up and take action to make your dreams become reality. Despite the intense cosmic weather, last month was extremely low-key for you, so the rush of energy could almost feel alarming at first. Don't be afraid to pack your schedule, and don't say no to any offer you get. Even if it seems impossible to fit everything in, you will manage to make it happen. Excessive activity isn't the norm for a Taurus, so remember to take a moment of pause whenever you need it. It will be easy to become irritated while Mars is in your sign, so remember to step back in situations that become heated. Channel the higher vibration of warrior energy, which protects, energizes, revolutionizes, and fights for peace, rather than the lower vibration, which can cause destructive drama.

It's lucky that you're feeling on fleek, because the full lunar eclipse in Libra on April 4 falls in your sixth house of health, diet, and exercise, making this the best time to revolutionize the habits that affect your health. Is there something you do on a daily basis that you know you shouldn't be doing? Make the next step towards spiritual and physical health and treat your body like the temple it is. The eclipse might show up in your life as an unexplained ache or pain, or maybe even a sudden cold. You will feel this eclipse, and it will give you the serious guidance that you need.
 


You literally have a lovely month to look forward to—Venus, the planet of amorous interactions, enters Gemini on April 11 spreading the love all over your life. You'll be looking and feeling good while Venus is in your house of identity, and you will be ready to revamp your look for spring. Spend money on improving your appearance, take a shopping trip, indulge in a mani-pedi situation, and generally spoil yourself while you have the planet of indulgence high on your horizon. You'll be extremely popular this month too, because your ruling planet Mercury in energetic Aries will be taking a trip through the social sector of your chart. Get in touch with friends you haven't seen in a long time and make yourself open to making new acquaintances and expanding your social network. New acquaintances you make this month will be a part of your friend-sphere for a long time to come.

On April 4, a seriously strong eclipse in Libra calls for you to take a chance on a creative project or a new romantic situation. Whatever your choice is, it might not seem like the safest bet, but the payoff will be extremely awesome if everything works out as planned. An eclipse often sparks a dramatic beginning or ending, and sudden inspiration might strike you two or three days before or after the eclipse. Be ready to jump into new projects and don't hold back on romance. No matter what, you will have fun with the eclipse energy, and it would be an amazing night to attend a party and meet new friends!



March was a month of madness, and in April you're definitely ready for everything, and everyone, to calm down. The lunar eclipse in Libra on April 4 will focus your energy at home, where you prefer to spend your time, giving you an opportunity for peace and serenity. This eclipse will have you feeling totally sentimental and dreamy. A meaningful interaction with a powerful woman, or feminine energy, in your life, will give you wisdom and illuminate new possibilities for the future around the eclipse. Listen closely to what this member of your sisterhood has to say, even if it seems difficult to grasp at first.

You'll definitely be a home-body for the first week of April, but the chill session won't last all month because Mars, the planet of action, will be moving through your eleventh house of social activity, inviting you to make an appearance on the scene. Venus, with her bountiful positive vibes follows Mars closely, will make sure that every day will be a party for the rest of the month. If you're not currently involved, Venus and Mars in your social sector could introduce you to someone cute while you're out and about. The eleventh house also rules online activity, so if you're too shy to introduce yourself in person, Tinder is still a viable option.
 


Soul-expanding, luck-providing Jupiter has been in Leo since last summer, but you may have noticed something has been off for the past several months while it has been retrograde. Like famous Leo Madonna, you probably felt like all of your success came in tandem with unnecessary annoyance, and you definitely didn't get as many likes on Instagram as you wanted. On April 8, Jupiter will begin to move forward again, putting all the power back in your hands. This is your chance to make extremely positive things happen because you will only have Jupiter's blessing until the end of July. Each sign gets this cosmic chance once every twelve years, so use your moment wisely and spend the first eight days of April strategizing where your energy should be focused.

On April 4 an eclipse in Libra will provide a hint from the heavens that gives you a clearer idea of where you should be. Constantly refresh your inbox on the week of April 4, and answer calls from unusual numbers because you don't want to miss the message that the universe has for you. Open your mind to new options even if they seem contrary to your usual strategy, and don't discount the opinions offered by others—one of your Leo faults is that you don't listen to what other people have to say because your own ideas are so on-point. You do know what's best for yourself, but it can't hurt to hear someone out before you decide to do your own thing.

Mars, the planet of action, is getting down to business in your tenth house of publicity all month long, and you're having a major career moment because of the positive PR Mars is doing for you. If you have plans to launch a business, embark on a new career choice, or promote a project you completed, April would be one of the best times all year to make this endeavor a success. Jupiter, Mars, and Venus will all have your back with the best vibes possible.
 


Take a load off in April. The eclipse in Libra on April 4 highlights your resources and possessions and gives you an opportunity to reorganize and renew your financial situation. Things have gotten out of hand in some regard and it's time to make cuts for a more efficient future. You should conduct a thorough spring cleaning around your house, office, or studio and get rid of anything that is holding you back. The energy of the objects you collect weighs on you spiritually as well as physically, and Virgo tends to collect excess baggage easily. Your justification is that you keep your junk organized, but that doesn't make it any more useful than clutter and chaos.

If you have a moment to get away, April would be a super positive month to take a vacation. Mars, the planet of action, is in your ninth house of foreign travel, making you want to get up and go. Venus, the planet of love, is following Mars closely, so wherever you go you would be able to make new friends and maybe even find a cute romantic fling. If getting out of town is impossible, Mars and Venus will open your mind to all the options you have at home and welcome spring with a fresh perspective. Cynicism, sarcasm, and snarky commentary is a communication habit of yours that can be fun, but when it gets out of hand you start to feel unnecessarily dark-sided. A positive perspective is what you should attempt to channel.
 

 
Like Kim Kardashian's hair color, your life is about to take a 180 degree turn this week before you establish a new normal. You might have to try a blonde moment before you realize that being true to yourself is the only way to be. Librans are extremely sensitive to the energy and opinions of those around them, but this eclipse is all about proudly asserting who you are without worrying about what others have to say. The lunar eclipse in Libra on April 4 will inspire you to give your life a complete makeover, but you will take your spa day on your own terms. You might not get the delicate massage you were looking for, and you could be feeling sore for a few days after the eclipse, but the adjustment that takes place will definitely improve your spiritual posture. You probably have an intuitive sense of where the knots in your life have been the tightest recently based on the events of the past few week, but if you read this and still can't quite tell, it's not too late to figure out what's up. I'll give you a hint: events from last spring when Mars was in Libra could come back for a second take this week, and it is almost definitely relationship-related. Someone who left your life last spring could come back with much more positive energy, and you should totally welcome them back!

Your ruling planet Venus follows activity-based Mars into your eighth house of long-term commitments this month, so you're very much in the mood to settle down with your boo. This planetary placement will be a major boost for your love (and sex) life, and you will be feeling freaky and ready to go with the flow. If your relationship feels like it’s reaching a plateau, it might be time to make a major step, like moving in together or sharing a financial commitment. It could be scary at first but it will be easy to make the transition.
 


As you enter April, you are feeling highly relatable with active Mars and loving Venus busy making connections in your seventh house of partnerships. Your energy is focused on finding a match in love and business, and to do this you need to open up and share. Your habit of playing hard-to-get and guarding your true feelings will do you no good, and you're almost certain to get a positive reaction from the objects of affection and potential collaborators. Venus and Mars are two planetary partners in crime that love to hang out and let loose, and while they both transit your house of intimate affairs it will be easy to make time for fun with your closest companions.

You're not one to be afraid of psychoanalysis, and the eclipse in Libra on April 4 will lead to some deep thinking that puts you on the right path towards full self-realization. Dive into the deepest parts of your psyche and explore your darkest nightmares as well as your fondest dreams. What do you see here? How is your subconscious self impacting your day-to-day life? Do some spring cleaning in the recesses of your brain so that you can feel free and clear for the rest of the season. Visions will come to you all over the place around the eclipse, and your intuitive sense will be heightened. There is meaning in everything.
 



Saturn, currently in Sagittarius, started backpedaling in mid-March, giving you a break from all the hard work you've been grinding away at since December. You've always been the adventurous, carefree, wild one, so you really felt the shift when Saturn, the planet of work, entered Sagittarius. You can use your endless wellspring of positive vibes to put your own spin on the transit of Saturn by making your work fun and enjoyable. Plug away on your own personal projects as well as those you have to do out of necessity and you will soon find that things will be popping off in your professional life.

An eclipse in Libra on April 4 will help highlight some of the work you've done lately and could provide an unexpected bonus for all your efforts. A celebration is in order and if you don't have something specific in mind that's OK—celebrate your uniqueness and flare on the full moon. Spend the weekend with all the people you love the most, but don't be afraid to introduce yourself to someone new. Stranger-danger is something you shouldn't believe in, and the connections you make—especially on Saturday—could lead to an exciting new development in your professional life or social experience.
 
A Capricorn always comes out on top, but the power struggle last month was really real and you're entering April in serious need of some relaxation. Unfortunately, you may have to put your vacation plans on hold, but the good news is that the aspect that was bugging you out in March is gone for good. You've made it through all seven of the Uranus-Pluto squares and if you're reading this it's definitely not too late. An eclipse in Libra on April 4 highlights your professional life, and gives you major props for achievements you've made in the past. Last month you certainly did not feel celebrated: you may have even felt embattled by the bitter planetary forces. This eclipse will turn things around and everyone will be looking towards you for your awesome ideas and remarkable ability to turn them into reality. Your sophisticated social maneuvers and impeccable taste will be highly sought after. Double your rates and you will still be booked for the rest of the month.

It’s time to start taking more risks in your creative life this month while Mars, the planet of passion, is in your fifth house of artistic experimentation and adventure. Don't hold anything back in the name of discretion, and let yourself be free of constraints. You could produce some of your most inspired work if you let loose. Venus, the planet of love, will be following Mars closely this month, which also points to passion of the romantic variety. New romance is highly possible and would be super fun and exciting!


Aquarians are notoriously future-forward, but what happens to an Aquarius when his time has passed? However out-there, unusual, liberal, and transgressive your point of view might be, it will always get dated if you refuse to update with the times. While I'm sure you are nowhere near over the hill, it might be time to think about how you could expand your point of view to include a broader picture of reality. Don't be so stubbornly stuck in your own mindset and listen to others for inspirational ideas. You're not the only weirdo out there with visionary/genius tendencies.

The eclipse on April 4 in the sign of Libra falls on the third house-ninth house axis in your chart, which puts your beliefs about life and your intellectual experience in sharper focus. This is a highly communicative place for an eclipse, and you might be challenged in a heated debate to defend your point of view. An e-mail could come from someone far away that totally uproots your vision of reality. Eclipses signal major changes and disruptions, so get ready to embrace a new normal. The way you see the world is about to change. After the discussion dies down, you're definitely feeling more grounded. Mars, planet of action, and Venus, planet of love, are in your fourth house, which indicates renewing connections with family, chilling at home, and reminiscing about the past. Spend time processing all the remarkable experiences you've shared with the people closest to you. This won't necessarily be the time to make new memories, but it will be time to share memories from the past.

 
You ended March feeling roasted like Bieber, but you'll begin April on top and #BBHMM will be your eclipse anthem while you're feeling like a boss. The total lunar eclipse in Libra on April 4 falls in your eighth house of other people's money, and I'd be afraid if you were my debt collector. This eclipse promises to increase your cashflow, but the source may not be clear until after the eclipse. The material and the spiritual world will be in focus on the eclipse, and your intuitive powers will be heightened by the eclipse energy. Secrets will be revealed to you around the eclipse and you will be able to see straight through anyone who tries to deceive you.

You'll be thinking about money for a while after the eclipse while Mercury in Aries continues to travel through your second house of personal resources. This will give you the power of mind to come up with new means to make money and monetize your inherent talents. I know you're usually not a material girl/boy, but sometimes you need to get into the practical vibe because it's expensive to have the time to be dreamy and cute like a Pisces prefers.

Any weird issues with health and wellness will disappear for you after Jupiter comes out of retrograde in your sixth house of diet, fitness, and wellbeing on April 8. You've probably been feeling pretty lazy when it comes to working out over the winter, but it’s definitely not too late to start getting in perfect shape for summer. Jupiter's positive energy will be making you feel seriously Sporty Spice, and any kind of competitive team sport or possibly a dance class would be enjoyable. Zumba anyone?
