Happy birthday, Taurus! Aries season has you catching up on rest, but news flash: Your season is right around the corner! You’ve been saving your energy because once the limelight is on you, there is no avoiding it! Taurus season will ask you to focus on yourself, your personal goals, and maybe even to treat yourself with a makeover of some sort. The month starts off with exciting news headed your way on April 3 when Mercury enters your sign. You’re thinking more about your needs and desires. It’s time to put yourself first!
The Full Moon in Libra on April 6 brings up themes related to your health and daily habits. Have you been overworking yourself? This may be a major wake-up call to actively engage in more rest. If you’ve been working on a big project, this could signal a turning point or even completion. On April 7, Venus in Taurus cuddles up with Neptune in Pisces and you may find yourself surrounded by inspiring people who believe in you and your dreams. Someone in your network may extend a helping hand, or perhaps you’re having a romantic day with a lover or a nurturing day with friends. Your focus turns to your financial world on April 10 when Venus enters Gemini. This bodes well for all matters re: work and cash flow. Now is the time to advocate for yourself; don’t be afraid to state what you’re really worth! It’s also a season to indulge in your physical senses–try a massage, a decadent dinner, or a sensory deprivation tank.
The Sun and Jupiter, both in Aries, meet at the same point in the sky on April 11, illuminating something that was once hidden deep within your subconscious. Pay attention to your dreams, symbols, and synchronicities that follow you throughout the day. Your intuition is incredibly accurate now–trust it. This is a fabulous day to pull some tarot cards and ask for guidance. A few days later on April 14, the cosmic vibe shifts as Venus in Gemini clashes up against Saturn in Pisces. You’re reflecting on your friendships and your personal resources. Who is worth your time and energy? Rejection and loneliness are in the air, but this transit will pass quickly. Tend to your heart as needed.
A New Moon and solar eclipse in Aries darkens the sky just after midnight on April 20–this is the second New Moon in Aries this month! This fated new beginning takes place in a private sector of your chart that relates to the closing of cycles, rest, solitude, spirituality, and self-defeating behaviors. You may finally be ready to release a piece of your past or a behavior that’s overstayed its welcome. Carve out time for rest and reflection.

The Sun enters your sign later on April 20, bringing attention and recognition your way. Yes, it's finally Taurus season! You have the magnetism to win others over and attract what you desire—so go big! You may feel more visible than normal, but trust that you deserve a little spotlight. On the same day, the Sun in Taurus brushes up against Pluto in Aquarius, stirring up power struggles at work. You could find yourself clashing with a VIP’s ego. Take the time to acknowledge what feelings are coming up today; they may reveal pieces of yourself that are ready to be addressed.
Mercury Retrograde is back on April 21 and this time it’s happening in your sign! This makes this particular retrograde a little more personal for you. You may be rethinking your personal goals, ambitions, and the way you want to show up in the world. This is a period of reinvention, so don’t be shy when it comes to playing around. You may find yourself pursuing a completely different path once this retrograde ends–but with much clarity, optimism, and confidence. The month wraps up with Mars in Cancer meeting with Uranus in Taurus on April 29–you’re acting on an idea and ready to take bold steps forward! This is a powerful day for you to share what’s been on your heart.
