You survived March (barely). Now April rolls in, floral-scented and softly lit, ready to seduce you with the promise of slower mornings and longer exhales. As the sun eases into Taurus season, the vibe shifts: It’s less hustle, more hedonism. Think of it as a gentle reminder from the cosmos to feed your body, romanticise the mundane, and say yes to whatever feels good. Preferably while also wearing linen.

TAURUS

21 April – 21 May

What you say you want seems very much like what you used to have. But do you really want that? Yes, there were good times, but there were disappointments too, and you are choosing to ignore them. Tying yourself to the past, for any reason, is a bad idea. Better times lie ahead, as you will see after the 13th of this month.

GEMINI

22 May – 21 June

Don’t push a run of luck too far and lose all that you have gained. Recent career successes may tempt you to try for one more, but the situation that worked so well for you is already starting to dissolve. Trying to do more with it would be a waste of your time and energy; look for something new to take you forwards and upwards.

CANCER

22 June – 22 July

Some of us are eager to leap forward at the first chance we get, while others are less enthusiastic, only moving when pushed. But what if you are in between? In the next few weeks, there is a career opportunity you never expected. It’s there if you reach for it, but it won’t come and get you. Will you respond?

LEO

23 July – 22 August

You have to make some big changes this year, but that doesn’t mean demolishing all that you have done so far. There is much that you can take with you into the future. Don’t try to make yourself into something that you are not; you are just heading in a new direction. Take the first steps as Mars enters your sign on the 18th.

VIRGO

23 August - 22 September

You are at the stage in a relationship where you’re both trying to do what you think the other one wants. Luckily, you both want the same thing, which is to be happy together, but you are trying to make it happen in different ways. Don’t try to correct each other; as long as you’re heading in the same direction, you’re fine.

LIBRA

23 September - 22 October

To live the life you want, you must let go of the things that are holding you back. There is a sense of security in staying in a job or a relationship that you don’t like. But now, as Neptune takes up its new position opposite you, it dares you to think differently and to follow your dreams. It’s not as hard as you think.

SCORPIO

23 October - 22 November

You find yourself being pulled in two opposing directions this month, as mighty planets clash across the top and bottom of your chart. They are too powerful for you to control, so don’t try. Mid-April is particularly tense. Don’t let yourself be pushed into making a decision or a move that leaves you no way out if you change your mind.

SAGITTARIUS

23 November - 21 December

Someone you are not very close to will suggest that the two of you should get together sometime. Is it a polite way of ending a conversation? Or an invitation to a love affair? The planets suggest that it’s certainly not the first one, and that whatever it is, it goes very deep. If you say yes, take care.

CAPRICORN

22 December - 20 January

Does everything in life have to be sensible? You are thinking about pursuing a new venture—a romance, perhaps—which doesn’t fit with any of your long-term plans and could well be a waste of time. Yet it has something special to offer and has captured your heart despite your head telling you otherwise. In matters like these, the heart always wins.

AQUARIUS

21 January - 19 February

A long-term project that you launched several years ago is beginning to show some results. There were times when you wondered why you ever started it, but now you’re glad that you did. This sets you thinking about the next stage, but there’s no need to rush—you have a few months yet. Take time to celebrate and appreciate what you’ve done so far.

PISCES

20 February - 20 March

Your ruler Neptune leaves your sign as April opens. Has life suddenly gone quiet? Maybe, maybe not, but you will notice that the waters you swim in are calmer now. Yes, you will have to make progress by your
own efforts rather than letting the current take you, but now you get to choose your own direction. That’s good.

ARIES

21 March - 20 April

There is a sort of looseness in the next few weeks. Neptune moves into your sign now, bringing lots of new ideas and possibilities—but they are all theoretical. None of them is definite, which worries you.
At the same time, this month’s new moon opens the door to change, but may not take you through. If you feel safer staying where you are, then do so.
