Mar 29 April 2022 Overview

Air Signs, Earth Signs, Fire Signs, Water Signs

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.

Think NEW NEW NEW when it comes to the Aries Sun, highlighting your 4th House of Home and Security. Aries is Cardinal energy (initiatory) and it is the babe of the Zodiac, standing for fresh ways of being, doing, and seeing. Bring that vitalized perspective to your Home life this solar transit, which will last until the 21st. Given the fiery nature of Aries, maybe you need to bring some warmth to the domicile in a particular way, especially as the Aussie autumn approaches and the temperature chills a bit. Make something new in the home. On a less up note, be aware of a majorly malefic day on the 5th. Your ruling planet, grim Saturn, and Mars (the Knife) go conjunct in your Money sector, which could cause a brief flurry of financial difficulty. The Sun shifts over into Taurus and your 5th House of Romance on the 21st. Venus rules the Bull and has its “joy” in the 5th, so this is an excellent transit for sensual play and romance. The Bull and you both love luxury, so splurge a bit.

Who says winter hibernation has to end so soon? Yours is making more of a slow, stage-left exit for the first three weeks of April, and for that you can thank the stars. The Sun is nesting in Aries and your domestic fourth house until April 19, giving you the urge to cozy up at Chateau Capricorn. You've got a cosmic permission slip to putter around the kitchen, refresh your seasonal decor and start the second season of Bridgerton.

Don’t worry, Capricorn, you’ll have plenty of time in between siestas for socializing and fun. Venus, Mars Jupiter AND Neptune are all in Pisces, activating your third house of community, ideas and kindred spirits. Amid your deep sofa lounges, make an effort to reconnect with your favorite people or to check out a newly reopened venue if you feel comfortable doing so.

A historic moment will arrive on April 12, when Jupiter makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. As the co-rulers of Pisces unite on their home turf for the first time since 1856 (!), you could receive a divine download or news that changes the course of events. Be careful what you share today, though, as their obscuring effect could scramble signals.

A rare doubleheader of new moons will bookend this month, and the second one, on April 30, is an activating solar eclipse. In Taurus and your fifth house of romance and fame, this eclipse could bring unexpected attention your way.

Until 11 April, your ruling planet, mercantile Mercury, will be transiting your 7th House of Relationships. The Ancients called this the “the matchmaker” transit. Accordingly, you may find it easier in the next couple weeks to facilitate a romance or a business partnership rather than focus on your own love-life. There’s nothing wrong with that. Good karma points ultimately. On the 11th, Mercury then shifts into your 8th House of Taxes and Intimacy for a few weeks. The 8th House is ultimately about the things we share—secrets, money. With Mercury’s analytic nature energising your 8th, you could be feeling extra precise, making this transit good for organising taxes, finances. A word to the wise: look for faults in numbers and arithmetic rather than business partners or your helpmeet. On the 21st, the Sun moves into Taurus season and your 9th House of Knowledge and Learning. Taurus is a languid season, perfect for a desultory novel, like Rachel Cusk’s “Outline.”

Ready for a sultry start to spring? Incoming! The Sun is in Aries, your eighth house of intimacy, sex and shared resources, until April 19. In both business and pleasure, you’ve got the urge to merge with someone who understands you inside and out. During this private month, dive into a project that requires deep focus and research. Lose yourself between the sheets with a sexy plus-one. Hibernation won’t officially end for you until later this month, so indulge your healthy obsessions and go “all in” on whatever’s tugging for your attention.

You’ll get some extra help from the doubleheader of new moons that will bookend April—and the second one, on April 30, is a solar eclipse. Mid-month, a historic moment arrives on April 12, when expansive Jupiter unites makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting Neptune. This boundless, freedom-driven connection will take place in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune, and a placement that hasn’t occurred since 1856! Pisces happens to rule your seventh house of partnership. This could be a potent moment to come together with someone who complements you.

Stay connected to your intuition this month, Virgo, because it’s got plenty of guidance worth following. A visionary idea could strike at the April 30 Taurus solar (new moon) eclipse, along with a chance to travel, share your message widely or even to start a new business venture. Eclipses bring surprises, so stay open to possibilities that weren’t even on your radar!

Poor Taurus: your ruling planet, diamond-studded Venus, has had a rough year. Things started out badly with a wonky retrograde in Capricorn (not fun). Then in March Planet Love was being “besieged” by Mars and Saturn. Astrologically, besiegement refers to transits where a planet is locked between the two Malefics—kind of like being stuck at a party talking to an aggressive athletic type (Mars), only to get hemmed up in drab chit chat with a cold, humorless German architect (Saturn). In your case, Venusian themes (romance, money) have been afflicted. But in April the besiegement ends and, for the first time all year, your ruling planet finds a bit of peace, as Venus will be entering into your Friendship sector. Expect more bonhomie among your crew, but also open your mind to the thought of romance through social networking. Your season starts on the 21st, with the Sun in your 1st House of Selfhood: a month of sensual repasts, starting with pistachio torte and page mandarins perhaps.

Fresh start, anyone? April is a turning point month, bookended by two new moons. While the first three weeks are more about tying up loose ends, you’ll want to take your slate-clearing efforts seriously. On April 30, a Taurus solar eclipse sweeps through your first house of identity, heralding an extreme life makeover. Hello, new you! While Aries season may slow the pace for the first three weeks, once the Sun moves into Taurus on April 19, it’s all systems go.

Not that this month will be uneventful. April 12 brings the historic conjunction (meetup) of expansive Jupiter and boundless Neptune. The cosmic freedom seekers will unite in Pisces, the zodiac sign they co-rule, for the first time since 1856. Get ready for a spiritual awakening or a divine download on this intuition-activating day.

The biggest moment of the month, however, arrives at the very end. On April 30, the Taurus solar (new moon) eclipse rockets you onto an empowered new path. This is also a black moon, meaning it’s the second new moon to fall in a single month. What’s the right next step for the person you are NOW? With eclipses, you never quite know where you’ll land, but it almost doesn’t matter. Adopt a spirit of adventure and see where this lunar energy leads you.
