All in Air Signs

April 2022 Overview

It's April, which means Taurus season, a powerful full moon in Libra, and the start of Pluto retrograde. But fear not, star babies. Yes, the world is a stressful mess, but astrological, it's a relatively chill month rich with philosophical insight and money. On Tuesday, April 5, the first significant transit occurs when the romantic planet Venus enters sensitive Pisces. As a result, intimacy goes up in relationships, and you may notice that you see the glass half-full rather than half-empty. Paying attention to what you love about your partner, crush, or friends, makes for a much happier April than focusing on the negatives.

April 2022: Horoscope: Aquarius

This could be a good month for self-promotion. The headstrong, “me-first” Aries Sun will be burning through your 3rd House of Communication, thereby connecting forms of expressivity to the Ram’s boastful tendencies. Then you have caffeinated Mars in your 1st House of Identity, suggesting another layer of self-aggrandizing energy in your transits this month. Put some work, therefore, into publicising yourself or extending your brand through social media. You’re usually a bit aloof, but all of this heat around Selfhood and Communication indicates a good time for amplifying your voice in the info-sphere. Beware, however, of coming across as too heated in your self-presentation: Mars can be aggressive and combative in the 1st House. Not a strong look. In this regard, beware 5 April: the two malefics (Saturn and Mars) are exactly conjunct in your sign. That’s a nuclear meltdown day. Tread extra light then. On the 21st, all this heat dissipates as earthy, Venus-ruled Taurus season starts, highlighting your Home sector (a time to beautify the hearth).

Let your curiosity lead the way! Until April 19, the Sun is in Aries and your third house of communication and ideas, boosting your social life. With your local travel sector in the spotlight, you could become quite the fixture in your neighborhood, meeting friends and holding court at your favorite cafe or corner bistro. Work may be busy with meetings and brainstorming sessions—and your naturally collaborative sign will be in the zone.

You’ll have plenty of help at the office from social Venus, go-getter Mars, lucky Jupiter AND enchanting Neptune, which are all paying visits to Pisces this month, energizing your financial sector. On April 12, Jupiter and Neptune will make a historic conjunction (meetup) here, their first since the mid-1850s! With these two boundless, freedom-loving planets united, you could manifest major abundance from unexpected sources.

Speaking of the unexpected, a rare doubleheader of new moons will bookend this month, the second one a solar eclipse. In Taurus and your fourth house of home and family, a surprise move, pregnancy or family news could be in the cards as April closes out.

April 2022: Horoscope: Libra

For the majority of March, your ruling planet, lovely Venus, is being “besieged” by the toxic duo, Mars and Saturn. Astrologically, besiegement refers to transits where a planet is locked between these two malefics. Much to your chagrin, Venus has nowhere to flit and no one to charm at the moment. Indeed, romance, money, and beauty—all three domains governed by your ruler—are currently afflicted. Alas. But beginning April, the besiegement ends and your ruling planet finds some solace in your 6th House of Routine, Health, and Diet. Given that Venus has been so askew this year, this transit in a low-key House is the perfect landing spot for Planet Diamonds. Find balance this month by establishing a beauty routine and better diet. On April 21, the Sun shifts into Venus-ruled Taurus season. In Libra, Planet Love is social and airy. In Taurus, however, it is more earthy and pleasure-seeking. The Taurus Sun will be lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy and Taxes. Think sensual silk sheets, not spreadsheets, this transit.

Partner up! Twosomes are on the agenda as the Sun travels through Aries, your seventh house of one-on-one relationships, until April 19. For the first three weeks of the month, you have your mind on collaborating—a Libran specialty. Evaluate whether the current unions in your life, both personal and professional, are working as well as they could be. When the Sun moves into Taurus and your eighth house of merging on April 19, you could be ready to take things to an uber-official status.

If you need to make a fresh start, this month will deliver a double dose of opportunities, thanks to two new moons bookending April. Not only is this rare, but the second one happens to be a solar eclipse. Change is definitely in the spring air! In Aries and Taurus, these new moons could bring exciting opportunities to partner up, perhaps out of the blue.

A historic moment will arrive on April 12, when Jupiter makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. This boundless, freedom-driven connection will take place in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune, for the first time since 1856! In your service sector, the Jupiter-Neptune meetup can give you a glimpse of how you can make a difference in the world. It doesn’t have to be anything huge. Just look for ways you can bring balance, health and wholeness to the spaces you occupy.

April 2022: Horoscope: Gemini

Aries season is about championing the ego and self. It’s a brash and rash time, very much about the virtues of the individual going at it alone. With this energy in your 11th House of Friendship and Social Networking until 21 April, you could find your chatty Twins nature going full monologue, no dialogue. Friends don’t tend to like that. And with your ruling planet, communicative Mercury, joining the 11th House on the 11th, this urge to talk over, through, or around people will only intensify. Beware, therefore, too much frantic wit, which can exhaust like an overly salted dish. Consider, as well, that Aries can be beaucoup competitive, so try to avoid a remake “Mean Girls” over the next few weeks with your bffs. Instead fight for friends and their interests—that’s the proper way to use Aries energy this season. On the 21st, the Taurus Sun shifts into your 12th House of the Unconscious, marking a distinct volte face toward a transit that could stir your inner cauldron of secrets and hang-ups.

Free up some calendar space, Gemini, because your popularity is on the rise! The Sun is roaring through Aries and your eleventh house of group activity until April 19, putting you in your social-butterfly element. Networking and collaborations take top billing, and you'll be an in-demand guest wherever you go, whether that’s online or IRL. Look for kindred spirits to team up with, especially around a world-bettering cause or innovative idea. As parts of the world make a wobbly return to in-person activities, take inventory: Where have you been out of sync with your circle? Patch up any faltering friendships and get fragmented group dynamics back on solid ground.

A historic moment will arrive on April 12, when Jupiter makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. This boundless, freedom-driven connection will take place in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune. They haven’t merged here since 1856, a time when abolitionism, women’s suffrage and the Spiritualist movement were having their heyday. For you, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction will supercharge your tenth house of career and long-term goals, cranking up your conjuring powers and creative visualization.

This month ends with a special twist. Not only is there a second new moon on April 30, aka a black moon, but it happens to be a solar eclipse. This is the first of 2022’s four eclipses, kicking off the two-week spring eclipse season. Get ready for some sweeping but helpful changes!
