All in Fire 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: Sagittarius

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!

April 2022: Horoscope: Leo

Your theme song for the first few weeks of April looks to be something like “Walking on Sunshine,” the 80s pop confection by Katrina and The Waves. Why? You’ve got your ruling planet, the Sun, in fellow fire sign, Aries, until the 21st, which is the best solar placement of the year for you, other than Leo season itself. You and Aries form what’s known as a trine (i.e., a harmonious aspect). Trines are said to be of the nature of expansive Jupiter, our great Benefic. Whenever we have one in our chart, Jupiter energy (luck, opportunity) should increase. This auspicious Aries Sun will be specifically illuminating your 9th House of Travel and Higher Learning. Be a bit impulsive (Aries) and take a trip to expand your spiritual horizons (9th House). The Sun has its “joy” in the 9th, is also exalted in Aries, and rules your sign, so enjoy sunsets or sunrises this season in new locations. On the 21st, we shift into Taurus season and your theme switches to Career. Venus-ruled Taurus loves comforts and cash. The sunny travel vibes of early April could very well transform to thoughts of work and security.

Momentum is returning to your life, Leo, and you are 100 percent here for it! With two new moons, a solar eclipse and a historic cosmic alignment on April’s agenda, welcome change is in the air again.

The first three weeks of April draw you far out of your comfort zone as Aries season brings opportunities to travel, learn and explore visionary ideas. What really lights your fire, Lion? The April 1 Aries new moon could provide a healthy dose of clues, igniting your passion and sparking an idea that you pursue over the coming six months.

A historic moment will arrive on April 12, when adventurous 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—where they haven’t met since 1856!

One thing’s for sure: Big ideas are swirling! And with all of these possibilities, you might find it hard to settle down and work on ANY of them for the first three weeks of the month. Luckily, Taurus season arrives to help you focus and prioritize on April 19. The Sun marches into your tenth house of leadership, career and long-term goals, followed by a game-changing Taurus solar eclipse—a rare black moon—on April 30. A whole new professional chapter or set of goals could soon be headed your way!

April 2022: Horoscope: Aries

Other than Leo, the regal Sun loves no spot on the Zodiac Wheel more than the Ram, where it camps until 21 April. With your Selfhood sector thusly lit, it’s time to focus on some “me-first” projects. Given your renowned ego, this shouldn’t be much of a stretch. But here’s the thing: the cosmos doesn’t mind a bit of egoistic Aries behaviour during your season. Not into group dynamics? Stay in. Not into staying in? Travel. Be your impulsive self—Aries is rash. Since youth energy is being foregrounded for the next three weeks, expect more vitality, radiance, and bounce. Libido could also be heightened, along with slightly weirder appetites, as maniacal Mars, your ruling planet, hangs out in strange Aquarius until the 15th. When the Sun shifts into Taurus on the 21st, your Money sector gets energised, but be careful with finances around then. Why? Mars will also have entered into Pisces by that juncture. This placement could drive you to spend (Mars) without a proper sense of limits (Pisces).

Off to the races you go! Whether your March went out like a lion or a lamb (make that a Ram, thank you very much), you’ll feel a jolt of renewal as soon as April starts. Not only is it Aries season, but the month opens with an April 1 Aries new moon, kicking off a vibrant six-month cycle for your personal goals and passions. Sneak peek: With expansive Jupiter moving into Aries on May 10, consider this the runway to an even bigger launch coming a month later.


Speaking of Jupiter, a historic moment will arrive on April 12, when the red-spotted planet 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. It’s the first time they’ve united here since March 17, 1856, a transformational era for anti-slavery and women’s rights efforts, and a peak era in the Spiritualist movement.

That’s not the only rare event in April, either. This month will feature a second new moon, aka a black moon, (https://astrostyle.com/black-moon/) on April 30, which also happens to be a solar eclipse. Ready to boost your bottom line? In Taurus, the partial eclipse will rev up your revenue sector and could bring a surprising new source of income. With any eclipse, the key is to expect the unexpected. Stay open to receive abundance from places you don’t normally look!
