The brash, lusty Aries Sun, full of fire, heats up your 5th House of Romance until the 21st. This is a placement of kaleidoscopic fire, games, intrigues, taverns, and quicksilver romance, perfect for your party-town nature. 12 April, in particular, is a fire-cracker, as your ruling planet, jolly Jupiter, merges with the dream-master, Neptune, in free-flowing Pisces. Go out and paint the town red this blockbuster date, but also don’t get swept up too much in the sweet talk of suitors: Neptune/Jupiter has a mirage-like energy. The great thing about Cinderella was she always knew the ball was built on angel dust and fairy magic. Keep her in mind this solar transit through the Ram. On the 21st, the Sun moves into slow and stable Taurus season, where it will be lighting up your 6th House of Routine, Diet, and Health. Taurus is earthy, sensual, and pleasure loving, meaning a healthy lifestyle could take a backseat to bittersweet chocolate fondant with blood orange sherbet.
Get out and play! The Sun is making its annual visit to Aries until April 19, heating up your fifth house of passion, creativity and joie de vivre. Like you, Aries is ruled by the dynamic fire element, so you should feel like your upbeat, charismatic self again, especially at the Aries new moon on April 1. Whether you've got love or babies on the brain (the fifth house rules fertility), or want to show off your talents or just need some good old-fashioned fun, you can indulge in all of it this April. During this glamorous and spirited transit, you can have fun playing with your look too, trying more dramatic styles and statement pieces.
April has lots of fresh-start opportunities since the month is bookended by a rare doubleheader of new moons, on April 1 and April 30. The second one happens to be a solar eclipse, which will awaken your spring fitness plans with a helpful jolt.
Mid-month, your ruling planet, Jupiter, makes a historic connection on April 12 when it unites with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. This boundless, freedom-driven connection will take place in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by these planets, for the first time since 1856!
