April 2022: Horoscope: Libra

Dynamic duos ignite during Aries season and the Aries new moon 

Two is your magic number in April with the Sun traveling through Aries and your seventh house of committed partnerships until April 19. As the natural ruler of this zodiac zone, Libra, this is your wheelhouse. Spend quality time connecting with your closest people, checking in to make sure everything is balanced and harmonious between you.

The April 1 Aries new moon could bring a partnership opportunity, either personal or professional, that merits serious consideration. While new moons take up to six months to unfold, you could start exploring whether this is a win-win scenario, asking all the important questions to suss that out. With communicator Mercury and healing comet Chiron traveling close by in Aries, leave no stone unturned—and make sure you’re being as vulnerable as you’re asking the other person to be.

This month is also ideal for repairing your longtime (and long-term) relationships through honest dialogue and conscious connection. Check out resources from the Gottman Institute to help you strengthen your skills when it comes to truly listening to your partner and navigating conflict without escalating tensions.

Love turns serious at the April 4 Mars-Saturn conjunction

Getting swept off your feet again, Libra? Despite your reputation as a balanced sign (which you are), you love feeling passionate and excited. Ah, that sweet tingle of anticipation! But on April 4, when restless Mars and cautious Saturn unite in Aquarius and your robust fifth house, moderation is key. A Mars-Saturn meetup is like having one foot on the gas, the other on the brake—and if you press too hard on either, you’ll get whiplash!

Let a creative project or burgeoning spring fling gain momentum, but pace yourself before rushing off to the races. (Note to Libra Kim Kardashian, who told Ellen DeGeneres her new boyfriend will appear on the family’s Hulu series, debuting April 14.) You’re not obligated to be an open book with the world.

Mars and Saturn are known as the “malefic” (unfavorable or challenging) planets. Their last conjunction was on March 31, 2020, right as the United States ordered a stay-at-home quarantine for 240 million Americans and the pandemic’s reality struck hard. With both planets in Aquarius, the sign of community and society, we can expect to feel the strain of their combined transit once again. Take extra care to keep your knee-jerk reactions in check. A calm and mature approach will keep your Libran scales balanced. Be the adult in the room whenever possible!

The April 12 Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is a historic day

How can you be of service to the world, Libra? You may ponder your world-changing powers on April 12, when global Jupiter and compassionate Neptune merge in Pisces for the first time since 1856. Jupiter and Neptune are the co-rulers of Pisces, which makes their meetup even more special. When they last connected here, it was a transformational time for anti-slavery and women’s rights and a peak era in the Spiritualist movement.

Pisces rules your sixth house of health, organization and giving. Today could inspire you to find ways to make the planet more sustainable through your own lifestyle and through activism. Whether you raise the spiritual vibration in a group meditation, cut down on waste and shop locally or just speak out about your beliefs, you’ve got the floor. (Here’s a list of Libra Civil Rights leaders from around the world for inspiration.)

One warning: These two planets are not known to be grounded in “reality.” In fact, their entire job is to take us FAR from our current conception of what that is and to push us into new terrain. While it’s great to be open-minded, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction can also obscure the facts and bring exaggerators and snake oil salespeople into our lives. Do your research before you sign up for some wellness guru’s latest “clean” diet or plant-based salve, for example. If it sounds too good to be true, look deeper.

The April 16 Libra full moon puts the spotlight on you

Step into the limelight, Libra. On April 16, the year’s only full moon in YOUR sign gives your ideas a huge push forward, so prepare to bask in the glow of recognition. This full moon is a major manifestation point for everything you've been working on since your last birthday.

Just watch out who you share your nascent ideas with, Libra. The full moon will form a challenging square to calculating Pluto, which is in Capricorn and your fourth house of home and family. A controlling or jealous loved one could try to chip away at your confidence or make you second-guess yourself. Talk about pouring cold water on your excitement!

Unconscious dynamics are certainly at play, perhaps a rivalry, jealousy or some other urge that causes them to undermine you. This tug of war could hit hard on April 18, when the Sun and Pluto lock into an exact 90-degree square. Be careful whose opinion you solicit about any relationship breakdowns now. A confidante may be a little too eager to shred your partner’s character, which could leave you feeling caught in the middle. Even worse? Chances are they're projecting more than they're protecting. Don't let someone else’s fears and baggage become yours, Libra. And hey, maybe they're just afraid of losing YOU if you fall in love. With a little reassurance, you'll be able to ease their anxieties and get some breathing room!

Taurus season and the Taurus solar eclipse

Ready for a respite? You might want to call a timeout starting April 19, when the Sun begins its monthlong visit to Taurus and your private, intimate eighth house. Slip off the radar a bit and focus on one special person or a project that needs your undivided attention.

A sexy someone could captivate you during this sizzling solar cycle. Or maybe you have some "inner work" to do: This can be a fruitful time for emotional processing and soul-searching. With innovative Uranus and the karmic north node both in Taurus too, you could have a big epiphany about your life purpose or do some groundbreaking emotional work that sets you free. Step one: Distance yourself from anyone who drains your energy and dumps their problems on you. With the Sun in this transformational sector, it's imperative that you tend to your own needs first.

Your efforts get a boost on April 30, when the skies serve up a rare second new moon, also called a black moon since it falls in the same calendar month as another one. In Taurus and your intimate eighth house, this new moon also happens to be a partial solar eclipse. Make way for changes in your financial and sensual ties as this lunar change-maker sweeps in with a bold new chapter—ready or not!

This is the second eclipse in a series falling on the Taurus/Scorpio axis from November 2021 until October 2023, which is revolutionizing your approach to money, security and investments. From financial to emotional, the ties that bind you are up for examination. You’re undergoing a shift in the way you spend, earn and use your money—and this eclipse helps you take (at least) one bold step in a healthy new direction. Since the eighth house rules joint ventures, you likely won’t be taking it alone.

Pluto turns retrograde on April 29

On April 29, your attention turns to more personal matters as deep-digging Pluto turns retrograde (backward) in Capricorn, your fourth house of home, roots and family. This annual U-turn will last until October 8, revealing shadowy dynamics with loved ones and your hidden fears around security. Pluto digs up whatever is buried in your unconscious. Rather than push discomfort or conflict aside, look any demons squarely in the eye.

Family is a charged topic to begin with, and over the next five months, Pluto invites you to see your relatives as teachers and messengers. Do they push your buttons? Don’t hate; investigate. Now, this doesn’t mean you should stick around and fight with them, Libra. But DO get interested in what’s triggering you so you can heal it at the core.

It turns out we have a whole cast of characters living within each of us—that’s right, human beings are anything BUT one-dimensional. Some of those parts are like inner helicopter parents, well-intentioned protectors that are keeping us “safe” but also stunting our growth. Use Pluto retrograde to take a deeper look within, and it can be a fruitful time of growth.

April 2022 Libra Love Horoscope

Cleanup time? Love gets a makeover this month as amorous Venus and mojo-boosting Mars both travel through Pisces and your sixth house of health and order. Couples might embark on a fitness kick, cutting back on booze or red meat or finding ways to be more active together. With sexy Mars here from April 14 to May 24, and Venus from April 5 to May 2, getting back in touch with your body makes you feel hotter. It's the simple stuff that counts now. Handling the little parts of your shared lives also brings you closer. Get fluent in the “acts of service” love language. Even mundane matters like grocery shopping or giving the kitchen a fresh coat of paint can feel like sweet moments worth savoring.

Single Libras looking to meet someone might head to a group yoga and meditation event. Single or coupled, treating yourself like gold is the order of this cosmic cycle. With beautifying Venus in command, opt for whole foods and organic produce, a holistic facial and a sleek fitness studio pass. These so-called "luxuries" remind you that you deserve the best.

In this polarizing political climate, you could be craving more cerebral substance from the people in your life, especially since Mars in this analytical zone of your chart can make you a bit anxious. You never know who else is feeling the same way. Striking up a deep conversation with a like-minded person could lead to surprising synergy, especially when Venus communes with philosophical, expansive Jupiter on April 30. The Taurus solar eclipse in your sultry, sexy eighth house that day could connect you to someone who complements you—mind, body and soul.
