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!
