All in Water 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: Pisces

Like the release of a much-hyped “Avengers” blockbuster, your month and year have been moving toward the much anticipated Jupiter/Neptune conjunction on 12 April in your sign. You’ve got a once in a lifetime transit here as your two ruling planets, generous Jupiter and dreamy Neptune, will be suffusing your Pisces-being with divine spiritual love, creativity, and/or delusions of grandeur. Maybe take this day off: it’s a time for communing with art, higher powers, mystical crystals. It’s not a day for the hum-drum exchange of emails and event planning. Venus (love and beauty) will have moved into your 1st House on the 6th of April, as well. That means you have both Benefics working for you: romance, love, and luck in the air. With dream-weaver Neptune also in the mix, though, don’t invest money or romance into people or things that seem too good to be true. While the first two weeks of April have a nebulous quality, Mars joins this big soiree on the 15th. Mars brings drive and purpose. If you’ve had your head in the clouds, the presence of Mars mid-month, like a drummer, will help provide rhythm to the floating harmonies of these other planets.

This is THE month to make your moves, Pisces! Throughout April, four planets will visit your sign: charming Venus, assertive Mars, lucky Jupiter and enchanting Neptune, the last two being your celestial rulers! Translation: You’ve got divine mojo and magnetism on your side. Now IS the time to be the proverbial “squeaky wheel,” especially since Jupiter will exit Pisces on May 10 and won’t return again for more than a decade, except for a brief visit toward the end of 2022.

Prioritize your passions, and don’t let other people’s needs and agendas get in the way. On April 12, Jupiter and Neptune unite in Pisces for the first time since the mid-1850s. This spiritual and boundary-expanding day could open up a huge portal for you to step into a new identity or chapter of your life.


Luckily, you’ll get some grounding energy while the Sun visits Aries until April 19, heating up your security-seeking second house of work and money. The anchoring vibe can help you make important strides with finances, especially budgeting. At work, keep your eyes on the prize, focusing on real-time tangible results and short-term goals instead of getting bogged down by extraneous activities and distractions.

A rare doubleheader of new moons will bookend this month. The April 1 Aries new moon could give your income a boost. Then on April 30, the Taurus new moon is also a solar eclipse, which will kick off eclipse season and could bring a powerful ally or news that changes the course of events in your day-to-day life.

April 2022: Horoscope: Scorpio

The Aries Sun, in all its adolescent glory and vigour, stampedes through your 6th House of Routine, Health, and Diet for most of April. Cue: “Let’s Get Physical” by Olivia Newton John. Cut to: an image of you in the gym hitting aerobics class hard, clad in some amazing retro spandex with white Reebok high tops. Until the 21st, let this image guide your steps since Aries Sun is one of the best placements for the 6th House, suffusing routines with renewed life. On a less bouncy note, it would be remiss not to alert you to a big, bad conjunction in your 4th House of Home on the 5th, where Saturn and Mars, the toxic twins, will be spilling some sour milk. Some tensions, in particular, could arise between you and father-figures around this transit. On the 21st, the Sun-in-Taurus activates your 7th House of Relationships. Taurus season is a time for sensual delights and comforts—it is a Venus-ruled sigh that betokens silkier times with a partner.

Spring-cleaning time! The Sun is making its annual visit to Aries until April 19, warming up your sixth house of health, fitness and organization. You're inspired to get your life and well-being into shape by trimming the excess and getting everything running like a well-oiled machine.

Start your salubrious engines at the Aries new moon on April 1, then brace yourself for another wave of inspiration at the end of the month, when the skies serve up a rare second new moon, which happens to be a solar eclipse!

Spring eclipse season has your name written all over it as the two eclipses are falling on the Taurus/Scorpio axis, spotlighting your personal goals and your relationships. The April 30 Taurus eclipse could bring a new partnership opportunity. Two weeks later, on May 16, the very first Scorpio eclipse arrives. Since this lunar (full moon) eclipse will press the reset button on your life, that’s all the more reason to tie up loose ends in April. You’ll want to be ready for whatever surprising new pathways present themselves next month.

In the meantime, let your passions lead the way. Throughout the month, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune will all dance through Pisces and your fifth house of self-expression, fame and romance. Talk about a spring awakening! On April 12, a historic moment arrives, when expansive Jupiter makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune will connect in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by both planets, for the first time since 1856.

It’s anyone’s guess what these floodgates will open, but the skywriting is clear: Life is no longer going to be business as usual. Stay open to clues and divine guidance in April and May.

April 2022: Horoscope: Cancer

You and Aries are both Cardinal signs (meaning you each land on either an equinox or solstice). You share a strange affinity in that regard, even if you are very different in most other ways: fire vs water, external vs internal, loud vs quiet, gruff vs sensitive, direct vs circumambulatory. But maybe this is the month to be a bit more like the Ram. Use the initiatory energy of this Aries solar transit to put a little fire and forcefulness into your life. The Sun-in-Aries will be inflaming your 10th House of Career until 21 April. When many people talk about the 10th House, they often associate it with making money. But the 10th has much to do with calling or purpose. The newness of the Aries Sun could inspire you to look for some alternative vocation—one more in line with your intuitive, empathetic way. Or this Aries energy could be saying: be more assertive and direct at work. Come out of your shell and take what is yours. On the 21st, the Sun shifts to the steady, low key vibes of Taurus and your Friend zone, suggesting a more emotionally copacetic transit.

Set your sights on a lofty mission, Cancer. The Sun is soaring through the top of your chart all month, making its annual visit to Aries and your success sphere until April 19. Ready for some fresh opportunities? April is bookended by a rare doubleheader of new moons, both in visionary parts of your charts. Eclipse season also begins at month’s end, promising that change is indeed in the air.

Got an inspired project or an area of your life that’s ready for massive growth? Mid-month, the skies reveal the way forward. A historic moment will arrive on April 12, when Jupiter makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. This time around, the boundless, freedom-driven connection will take place in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune—a meeting that hasn’t happened HERE since the 1850s! Your wildest fantasies could turn into reality on this day, when everything seems possible. Believing that might just be enough to start your manifesting mojo.

This month ends with a special twist. April 30 delivers a second new moon, aka a black moon, which is also a solar eclipse. This is the first of 2022’s four eclipses, moments of profound (and sometimes abrupt) change. An opportunity to collaborate with a new crew or get involved in a digital venture could arise out of the blue.
