April 2021 Horoscopes

These horoscopes are written based on your Rising Sign, but are applicable to Sun and Moon signs as well. See here for more information on your Rising/Ascendent sign.

Pisces and Pisces Rising

New and exciting breakthroughs and insights surface early in the month around how you acquire your assets and your relationship with home. There is a dynamic energy exchange between these two areas that call for your attention during the first part of the month. Around April 9th, you may want to pull inward and slow down to create new intentions around the topic of finance and put those into place around the New Moon on April 11th. This New Moon is a lovely moment to become intentional around both your monetary assets and your relationship with home for the next twelve months. 

While the first part of the month buzzed with energy, you may find it difficult to get into a creative zone around personal projects towards the second part of the month. There is also a culmination in your chart around issues of faith and spirituality and for any Pisces Rising, connecting back to source is key. This does not have to be through religion or spirituality, but perhaps through listening to your favorite music, going on a walk through nature, or watching a beautiful aesthetic movie. Your faith and spiritual practice may be put to the test near the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th. Be careful to check in with yourself to make sure your core beliefs are not deterred by external influences or collective shake ups near the end of the month.

Aquarius and Aquarius Rising

The first half of April activates your need to express yourself boldly through your most pleasurable forms of self expression. You have been doing a lot of steady building for some time and have dipped your toes in putting yourself out there for the last several months, but what are you being pulled to express? The New Moon on April 11th is an opportunity to set intentions for the next twelve months around the ways you wish to communicate and what you put out in the world through your creative projects.

The second half of the month has a different feel. While you just worked out some kinks in the realm of communication and have some new ideas revolving around how you are planning to express yourself going forward, the second part of the month is asking you to slow down in this area. You are going to be asked to turn inward and search for a sustainable work-life balance. Without doing this work, tensions may rise to the surface that fracture some of the steady building you have been doing over the last few years. Return to the tools you worked so hard to develop in order to ground yourself in case any shake ups take place in around concepts tied to work, home, the material realm, and how you show up for the world. It is likely that healthy boundaries and balance are the key.

Capricorn and Capricorn Rising

Your work-life and routines have become stimulated and continue to be activated through the beginning of the month. Perhaps a new home work out routine or meditation practice has helped you to ease stress and feel better about yourself as the world begins to open back up. The part of your chart dealing with home and lineage is highlighted throughout these first couple of weeks which may symbolize an opportunity to reconnect with your family physically or perhaps find new insight into your past that leaves you with less mental clutter. The New Moon on April 11th is a perfect opportunity to set a new intention around concepts tied to home, whether that be your own home or reconnecting with your family line.

The last few weeks of April symbolize a chance to continue to stay focused on the topics of finances and assets. You may experience unexpected creative breakthroughs, but it will be important to remain balanced as these insights hit you when you least expect it. The Astrological symbolism of the end of April is not ideal for a ton of extroverted activity. You might find it beneficial to turn inward and work on stabilizing yourself as potential issues with friends or community manifest around the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th. Continue on your path towards material stability and approach friendship and community at an arm's distance so you are not depleted of energy that is vital to your success.

Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising

April is a continuation of some themes that began in the middle of March. You might be called to get out there, be flirty, and meet someone new. The first few weeks of April are an opportune moment to continue to find pleasure where you can and to put dynamic energy into work and romantic partnerships. Your creativity and desire for self expression are super charged and the New Moon on April 11th is a great moment to set an intention for the next twelve months around these projects or in other activities that bring you joy and pleasure. Perhaps if you have been working too hard, this is a good moment to touch base with yourself and implement an activity into your routine that brings you joy and calms your nerves. If you are a creative, this is an excellent chance to get started on a new endeavor.

While the first few weeks spark innovative breakthroughs, remain diligent about your practical obligations. For the Sagittarius Rising, there is possibility of heavy feelings during the second part of the month that are stewing in your subconscious. The Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th, takes place in your 12th house, dealing with isolation, spirituality and far away places. While this part of the chart is dreamy and excellent for creatives, it is also slightly out of view. This Full Moon is symbolized by hot water steaming to the surface suddenly. If feelings creep up towards the end of the month that you were least expecting, you will have the opportunity to use the lessons you have learned around concise and intentional communication to convey these emotions linearly. If you find yourself lost in them, that’s okay too - try to take a break and return to your intentions around joy and creativity that you set during the New Moon.

Scorpio and Scorpio Rising

You have had a recent boost in health and daily routines that began in the middle of March that will stay emphasized throughout the beginning of April. Perhaps you have some exciting new work opportunities, or you have finally figured out a way to remain balanced throughout your day that is sustainable for your projects. Through this success, you have felt lighter and brighter and may have even been able to take care of old debt that has been lingering and cluttering your ability to feel free. This balance will also help you take care of taxes in the early part of April.  The New Moon in Aries occurs on April 11th, and is an opportune moment for you to set an intention around health and daily routines that you can commit to for the next twelve months.

While the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th occurs in the part of the chart that houses your Ascendent, you will want to watch out for overdoing it or oversharing sudden bursts of emotions during this time. Setting healthy boundaries is a lesson you have learned in dealing with family dynamics and is a tool that you can use with yourself towards the end of the month as you juggle your own weighty emotions, potential issues with your partner or work partner, and ongoing family dynamics. You got this.

Libra and Libra Rising

The Astrology of the first weeks of April challenges and invites you to explore or learn something new with your romantic partners or your closest work partners. The area of life revolving around romantic partners and work partners get an extra boost of energy that is constructive for your desire to get out in the world and take in new information. Have fun during these first weeks in April and take advantage of opportunities to move around and investigate new and exciting information.

The second part of the month shifts symbolically and energetically. While work partnerships may have strengthened in the beginning of the month, your aims at upward growth in your field might go amiss towards the end of the month. The lesson is to not push too hard because force will only create more friction. The Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th may bring up old baggage around assets or shared assets with those closest to you that present obstacles in your ability to move forward in your creative affairs. Again, go easy. Use your airy objectivity to glide through these potential obstacles with calm and check back into these parts of your life once the feelings have simmered.

Virgo and Virgo Rising

The Astrology of the first part of April symbolizes a continuation of a flowing work life. A light is being shed on the topics of your life dealing with shared assets, debt, and psychology. While those aren’t typically the most joyous parts of life, there is a boost in the beginning of April in this area that may make your work-life flow a little easier. Perhaps an emotional weight has been lifted off your shoulders or you have been able to pay off some old debt and therefore can give a little more attention to your work life.

While a sense of relief may occur in the beginning of the month, the second part of the month symbolizes a challenge to your belief systems. You walk through life with an earthiness, a sense of being grounded in reality and your belief systems match that innate sense of practicality. However, the second part of April shakes up this realm whether it be through your own findings or external influences. There may be a tension around your new intellectual discoveries or what is being shown to you and your mental chatter. Be kind to yourself and stay open minded. Intellectual breakthroughs are processes like anything else.

Leo and Leo Rising

April brings you and your community together through a shared vision, goal, or belief. There is a lovely activating energy between friendship and concepts of higher learning, foreign lands, and faith. Perhaps the first part of the month is an opportune moment to reach out to like-minded friends to create a workshop that gives back to a community, or even a small scale book club might do the trick. Take this as an opportunity to absorb something new and share those ideas with others.

Career topics get rattled in April towards the second half of the month as issues arounds roots and lineage call for your attention. You may be called to slip into old, comfortable coping mechanisms as you are pulled to attend to the most important parts of your life all at once. You will need to give your full attention to your roots and lineage, your closest relationships and your career simultaneously. Use your fixed, solar energy and focus to attend to the matters at hand. Find compassion for these parts of your chart in order to round out the harder edges and when the going gets tough, lead with your heart.

Cancer and Cancer Rising

There is a constructive potential during the first part of April that symbolizes possibility for success within your career if you’re able to do some behind the scenes work. Perhaps by exploring more spiritual spaces or by simply taking necessary breaks, you will gain a better sense of how you should approach your career goals efficiently. The New Moon on April 11th is a lovely moment to set new intentions for work goals before turning inward during the second part of the month.

The second half of April symbolizes juggling the needs of friendships and community while also attending to your creative life. While you may feel yourself pulled in many directions, it will become important for you to continue to do the deeper, sometimes uncomfortable work, in order for you to find positive transformation. By decluttering issues in the past stored deep in your unconscious, you may find yourself more comfortable in your creative space. Additionally, as Mars begins to move through your first house near the end of the month, it will become important to question your motives before attempting to jump to the finish line. Take your time and pay special attention to your health as Mars moves through Cancer.

Gemini and Gemini Rising

The first part of April is an exciting time for you to show up for your closest friends and community, both in person and online. If you haven’t been dedicating enough time to this area of your life, the New Moon on April 11th is an opportunity to set new intentions around interpersonal relationships. Perhaps this is an ideal moment to ask yourself whether or not those closest to you are uplifting your goals for yourself or are adding friction to your movement through the world. It’s important for a Gemini Rising to engage with many different kinds of people and the month of April creates a constructive dynamic between your sense of identity through your community if approached with intentionality.

While you may wish to continue to get out in the world and reconnect, the second part of April creates a tension between your inner world and how you accumulate assets. Perhaps pursuits around finances become a little less tangible and you find yourself slipping into the liminal as an escape. A constructive way to use this dynamic is to ground yourself in a daily ritual where you can stay anchored enough to handle practical obligations while also connecting back to your purpose regularly. You may want to ask yourself if the ways in which you acquire assets matches your values or if there is a better way that aligns more closely with your principles.

Taurus and Taurus Rising

You have been experiencing some energizing activity around finances and assets for the last month and this area will continue to flow smoothly throughout the first few weeks of April. By staying grounded in your intuition, this area of your life will continue to remain energized. Having a lot of twelfth house activity during the first part of the month will simultaneously invite you to take pause and isolate whenever you need to catch a break.

The second part of the month is highly active for a Taurus Rising as the Sun moves into the first house of your chart, highlighting your vitality and how you express yourself. You may feel sudden urges to break free from societal confines to express yourself boldly. Voicing these new revelations around self expression might become your challenge. Be thoughtful and careful when sharing these ideas with partners and co-workers throughout the second half of the month. Perhaps you can use this as an opportunity to turn inward, journal your ideas, and then express yourself once the dust settled after the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th.

Aries and Aries Rising

April begins with a bang for an Aries Rising. After spending some time in a fog or having been submerged deeper in your spiritual practice, April is inviting you to to get out into the world and express yourself boldly. You have been ruminating on ideas around communication and how you want to express yourself and now with less emphasis on the liminal spaces in your chart, you can do so with more precision and force. You may start out April strong with a little burning out near the New Moon on April 11th. The New Moon, however, wants you to set an intention that lasts twelve months around ideas of self expression and vitality.

While you may have some bold new ambitions around your identity or how you wish to be seen in the world, there may be a slowing down that occurs around finances and home after during the second portion of the month. Don’t be afraid to tread into darker terrain after that initial burst of stimulation in those earlier weeks. Slow down, tend to the practical matters at hand so that you can still show up for your own mental health and your friends and community as the month progresses. Your chart ruler, Mars, plays a vital role in the Scorpio Full Moon on April 26th. Feelings may bubble to the surface that have been ruminating for some time. Use the skills you learned in March to recenter yourself for when events take place that are out of your control.
