April 2015 Horoscopes

Aries

21st March – 20th April

A lunar eclipse on the 4^th and a new moon on the 18^th both focus on relationships, aims and ambitions, and most of all…you! It’s clear you’re still asking a lot from yourself (which is to ‘be the change you want to see’), so just keep getting out of your own way to find your own way forward. You have support from generous Jupiter this month, which means fresh opportunities and figures of faith and freedom arrive to help you out (especially on or after the 8^th). Security and stability are important to you now, and notice how you’re motivated to act on this around the 23^rd.

 

Taurus

21st April – 21st May

April is about movement, whether it’s the seeds for future growth (keep faith in the vision) or new signs of progress from the past efforts, it’s all symbolised by a ‘go with the flow’ full moon eclipse on the 4^th, and by balance-seeking planet Venus moving into your security and resources chart from the 11^th. The sun is your sign from the 20^th, indicating creative vibes, fun and entertainment, the spotlight, and long overdue updates and make-overs. Communication planet Mercury in your sign from the 14^th; and Mars in your sign all month indicates increased stamina and determination. Notice what unfolds from this (especially linked to communication) around the 23^rd.

 

Gemini

22nd May – 21st June

A powerful full moon eclipse on the 4^th impacts matters of the heart, creativity, friendship, fun and entertainment. It indicates a hunger for harmony, balance, and justice in these areas and it’s all intensified when relationship planet Venus moves in your sign from the 11^th. There’s a turnaround or change of direction in romance and/or important communications from the 8^th and midmonth don’t isolate or hide yourself away from pressures or pains; you have allies and supporters who are on your side so let them in. The final week is busy and eventful and you have strong purpose and motivation, especially around the 23^rd and 26^th.

 

Cancer

22nd June – 22nd July

Events around a restless lunar eclipse on the 4^th focus on the radical change you’re craving in career or status (the new moon on the 18^th is about a new beginning there), as well as the emotional intensity and intimacy you’re seeking in relationships, and the harmony and balance you’re hungry for in home or family matters. In other words, it’s a mover and shaker of a month, with ups and downs but also with satisfying progress and developments (in security and resources for example, thanks to a significant turning point or move forward from the 8^th). Also, good friendship and group connections are highlighted all month, especially 11th, 20th and 23^rd.

 

Leo

23rd July – 23rd August

It’s a full on kind of first week in April; there’s a powerful lunar (emotional) eclipse on the 4^th that magnifies your need for answers right now. Keep talking because the answers are there. Harmony and balance in communication gets you the harmony and balance of answers you seek. This is most challenging in some ways by the 8^th or 10^th, but there’s also a lot of positive support at that time, and a forward-looking change in direction. Travel, education and new perspectives also have your attention (around the 18^th especially), then from the 20^th your focus is career, status and reputation (23^rd looks very interesting for that).

 

Virgo

24th August – 22nd September

There’s a lunar eclipse on the 4^th, in the resources section of your chart. It means you might be seeking who and what you can rely on and count on, and giving more thought to what really matters to you and what you value. Give and take, and balance and equality are key components to situations this month; as is choosing and sorting priorities (emphasised around the 18^th). After midmonth and especially from the 20^th, you realise how perspective is everything, yet also how flexible and subjective it is. Particularly around the 23^rd when you feel the relevance of the idea that from small acorns huge oak trees grow.

 

Libra

23rd September – 23rd October

Events around the lunar eclipse in your sign on the 4^th makes you question if it’s asking too much to seek harmony and balance in so many circumstances right now. (No, it’s not asking too much). The key is your own inner peace about it all, meaning you must make peace with the way things stand, before things can change. That’s challenging, as you are often physically jolted by an incongruent or disordered environment, but you also understand that works of art are created from a messy process. The new moon on the 18^th is about new priorities, so top of the agenda for April is to ‘let it be (for just now)’.

 

Scorpio

24th October – 22nd November

An important lunar eclipse on the 4^th carries an important message that this month is all about things being set to rights, put back in balance, and brought back into harmony. How this is achieved focuses around choices; meaning who or what you choose to align with, believe in, or buy into. Understanding your own priorities and values makes these choices easier, and this has your attention up to the 20^th. After that, partnership is your strongest focus, as well as contracts and agreements with others. What happens around the 23^rd might be interesting in this.

 

Sagittarius

23rd November – 21st December

For you the harmony-focused lunar eclipse on the 4^th highlights friendships, your links to groups and team work, as well as what and where you find fun and entertainment. For the past few years now, you’ve been redefining your sense of security and updating income and resources (yes you can be practical when you need to be), and this transformation and renewal is always ongoing, kind of like your ever-evolving self. But there’s visible progress along the way and this is what you’ll be noticing during April; probably around the 2^nd, 18th, and 23^rd, but particularly around the 8^th, when an important turning point or change of perspective is also happening.

 

Capricorn

22nd December – 20th January

Now that your ruler planet Saturn is in the most non-resistant area of your chart, you might be finding yourself less irritated by or allergic to certain people or situations. It’s all becoming a bit like water off a ducks back to you, which might really work for you this month, as there’s a long-term focused lunar eclipse on the 4^th, impacting the most public part of your chart dealing with reputation, status, career and ambition. You have a very strong sense of what you want and of your priorities right now, and it’s all about honouring this while not allowing others to distract or unbalance you with their different perspectives. See what happens around the 23^rd relative to this.

 

Aquarius

21st January – 18th February

An insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge has brought experiences that transformed you, especially over the last 3 years. All along it was really more about self-knowledge and feeling more at home in yourself, no matter where on earth you found yourself. You are still digesting experiences and deciding what has relevance for who you are now, and this is what the first half of April is about (events around the lunar eclipse on the 4^th point to this). After the 8^th there’s a lovely turning point in love and partnership, then from midmonth and especially around 23^rd, you thrive on the grounding and stability from home and family matters.

 

Pisces

19th February – 20th March

A lunar eclipse on the 4^th focuses on trust; whether it’s trust in others, or others trusting you, it’s about a powerful need for certain situations to feel balanced, fair and harmonious even though there may be many uncontrollable or unknown/unknowable factors within those situations during April. The message of this moon is to keep believing in win/win solutions and keep choosing to step forward from the perspective that everyone can be happy with a situation even if you personally can’t make everyone happy. Then after the 20^th, communications and connections are strong and stable (and focused on renewal and regeneration around the 23^rd).
