Astrology April 2023

Aries
Yes Aries, you definitely are the cosmic “It Kid” this month, not only because it’s your birthday season, but there’s a New Moon Eclipse in your sign too! (exact time below). The first part of April however, shines Full Moon light onto your relationships, so expect a culmination point and to see things from a different perspective. Where is your current bond heading? What do they want? What do you want? Have that talk and you should be able to come up with an updated balance. Toward the end of the month, the Eclipse brings a big woosh of energy your way. I’d see this as a wildcard as it could resonate in a few areas of your life. Your day today, your work, your money, where you live etc. So again, what do you want? You’ll have the opportunity to make the shifts you’ve been thinking about and the next 6 months should help you solidify your goals. Great… and may the force be with you!

Taurus
Lots of action again this month, but as we have so many Planets moving in forward motion you’ll be able to really get some traction now, Taurus. Out with the old and in with the new and boy are you ready! The Full Moon at the beginning of April (exact time below), highlights your work and health routines, where would you like to tweak things more to your advantage? A new habit or two put in place now won’t disappoint down the track either. Venus, Planet of love, beauty and worth supports you! Acting with confidence pays off. Toward the end of the month, you have a New Moon Eclipse (exact time below), opening doors to all things esoteric and spiritual. Think outside the box re who you believe yourself to be. Are you getting in your own way via the perceptions you hold of yourself? Contemplate what comes up, as the Planet of expansion, Jupiter, will be in your Sign soon and the sky’s the limit. Taurus, dare to be different!

Gemini
Intuitive Insights abound as the month starts, Gemini. I could go as far as to say a Spiritual awakening is on the cards. Still your mind and make the space! The Full Moon (exact time below), shines light on your creativity, your kids and… your romantic life too, bringing some lovely energy for you there, ensuring life isn’t all work and no play. Toward the end of April the much-discussed New Moon Solar Eclipse is well-placed for your sign. Incorporating fresh starts associated with your friends, social circle, work and a healthy dose of fulfillment over the next 6 months re what we call your “Hopes and Wishes sector”. So how can you steer a few of those into being? You’ll have some time to mull all this over as your Ruling Planet, Mercury, retrogrades mid month, until mid May. This helps you assess and reevaluate what you really want your future to look like and what it would take.

Cancer
This month, Mars, the Planet of action and motivation has moved into your Sign, which means you can really get things DONE! Focus should be on yourself, so think about your wants and needs rather than those of others. Apply confidence and persistence for best results! The Full Moon early in April (exact time below), highlights home and family. Necessary shifts and changes may become apparrent and you’ll have the opportunity to rearrange things in a workable way. This could simply be to do with sprucing your place up for autumn and winter. The New Moon Eclipse highlights your work and career in a way that perhaps makes you feel you want more meaning in what you do. Cancerians like to make a difference in peoples lives, one that improves things all-round. So ask yourself how you might achieve this and be happy doing it. The energy gives you a tailwind toward a fresh path over the next 6 months. What would inspire and re-energise your day to day? Investigate.

Leo
This month you have Planet Venus supporting your career and work life, Leo! Fresh perspectives and perhaps a new project or direction that you’d really like to take up. Early on, the Full Moon (exact time below) highlights your skills and what you like to do. Is there anything you’d be excited to teach or learn? What are you interested in? This could be as simple as finally joining a new group of like-minded people and expanding within your local community. Either way, it’s a great time to network and make connections. You have a New Moon Eclipse in the area of your life which deals with your higher purpose and meaning! It also focuses on all things foreign, so travel and/or dealing with folks overseas may feature as well. Planet Mercury retrogrades toward the end of April into May, so taking time to revisit and reassess things may be a wise move whilst planning. Stay flexible and open with ideas until after May 15th to avoid any future complications or hassles.

Virgo
You may be starting the month contemplating what makes you feel safe and steady on the financial front, Virgo and it would be wise to come from the perspective of abundance! It’s quite possible you’re assessing things from a very different view point. You’ll have the ability change things up and put your affairs in an order which reflects what you wish to achieve now. The Full Moon (exact time below), will bring you some “A Ha!” moments. Good news to do with career appears and will likely put a smile on your face. Toward the end of the month, the New Moon Eclipse can set up a 6-month quest, where you might very well find new avenues for making money, or be given crucial support for something you’d almost given up on! If I door like this opens, it could send you back to the drawing board to bring yourself up to speed with where you stand now. So much has changed. By mid next month you’ll be on top of it all and ready to go. Nice!

Libra
The Full Moon this month (exact time below), belongs to YOU Libra, as it falls in your Sign and as such, focuses on on “The Self”. It’s a great time to reassess how far you’ve come since your Birthday as you’re six months into your Solar Year. The idea is not to deflate yourself over things which not gone according to plan, but to remind you to rejuvenate yourself… to get back into the game and go after what you still want! Your ruling planet Venus supports you and in some ways the timing is actually *better* now. The New Moon Eclipse toward the end of April offers up a BIG boost to your relationships. In a current steady partnership you’ll have the chance to spice things up and enjoy yourselves more. For those of you looking? It’s time to get out and about, be more social, try new things, go to new places and… shine! I’m sure you’ll have had a few ideas, but if you’ve placed them on the back burner? Your time to get cooking is now.

Scorpio
Venus, planet of love and relationships, is highlighting this side of your life! So much focus may be placed on a significant other (in business or Romance!). Where shifts or changes have been pending they’ll likely happen in April. The influence is good and you can achieve what you want, as long as all parties are clear and… the work is done to get on the same page. If you’re single, time to get out & about! Around the same time, the Full Moon (exact time below), you’ll define what brings you peace and a sense of wellbeing, so you’ll be able to Factor this in. Toward the end of the month, the New Moon Eclipse proves a boon if you’re looking to improve your health and/or upgrade your daily routine. You’ll have 6 months to get on track and as with all Eclipses the energy is supercharged and can really improve your life, long-term. Take yourself seriously and you’ll be delighted with the results. Aside from this, financial news should be good! So I’d say, all up? April will be a good month.

Sagittarius
As the song said “Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger” and I’d use this as your motto for the month! You’ve got opportunities to improve your day today and your health routines, Sadge, so if you’ve been meaning to make adjustments? Get going! You’ll be glad you did. Meanwhile, the Full Moon (exact time below), highlights your frienships, your social circle and the things you hope for, wish and dream about. Allow yourself the space to mull over how you’d like things to look, ideas are likely to pop up at this time. Shifts and changes are possible, so what would you like more of? Venus, Planet of love and beauty, supports you. The New Moon Eclipse is well-placed for you, a BIG burst of energy you can apply to your creativity, your kids life, your business or your side gig. You should have a good 6 months of opportunity to make fresh sarts and new beginnings. Think about it and by mid May? Plans start to take shape.

Capricorn
Venus, planet of love and beauty, cruises into your House of Creativity this month and that’s great news! The energy is likely to impact your business and your kids’ lives in a favourable way. Changes for the better are all possible if you’d like to focus in and make some. Your romantic life gets a BIG boost too, so make sure you’re scheduling in time for that and get out and about. The Full Moon (exact time below), highlights career matters and it’s a culmination point. If you’d like to make adjustments now, you should be clear as to what they should be. There’s a group of like-minded and supportive people likely showing you the way… if you’re open to them. Later in April, the New Moon Eclipse shines light on your home and hearth and it’s a generally positive influence too! Do you want move? Would you like to restructure somehow or relocate? You have 6 months of energy to take you where you’d like to go. So… all worth thinking about, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Shifts and changes re home and family abound at the start of the month and may bring some energy to do with your physical space or that of a family member. Venus, Planet of love and harmony is supportive, so if you’re experiencing a shake up, things are likely to land well! The Full Moon (exact time below), is a nice one for you. It describes “The Higher Mind” and all things foreign. You’re always interested in new forms of perception and curious re The Unknown, so go forth and expand. It’s a great time to investigate and/or study alternatives… different dimensions, even. Toward the end of April a New Moon Solar Eclipse shines it’s light in areas of life to do with communication. Again studying, learning, teaching, discussing, debating and education, in general, is starred! Upping your skill set, taking a workshop or short course could fast track you if you want to change your life path and/or career direction. You’ll have a good 6 months to act and… achieve!

Pisces
This month sees you as a powerful communicator, Pisces, so people are about to be all ears, or else! You always come from a diplomatic viewpoint and April seems to see you with plenty to say. It’s a good influence as long as you recognise your words will have extra impact and influence now, so use them well. The Full Moon (exact time below), has a financial flavour, so you may have the chance to change a few things up to do with investments and/or savings if you’d like to look into that area of life. Peace and harmony rule at home this month so you’ll enjoy time there with family and friends or simply spending time out and enjoying or improving your space. The New Moon Eclipse later in April highlights your unique talents, gifts and abilities to make money, Pisces! Look for opportunities now, even if no doors opened in the past, don’t give up!! Alternatively, something completely new may appear. Either way, you’ll have a good 6 months for all this to play out. Keep your eyes and ears open and inquire.

*Moon info is based on local time (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia).

Typically, we read Astro Information based on our Sun Sign, however you can gain much better insight if you read for both your Sun, Rising (or Ascendant) & Moon Signs. You can ascertain these by going to a free Chart calculator (there are many online now!) & entering your own personal information. Usually, we’re asked for our time of birth & it can prove a sticking point if we don’t know it! If you don’t know your exact time of birth, enter Noon (12:00pm) where asked, & this will serve as a “happy medium”. Take the time to do this (you’ll only have to do it once, not every month) & note the Sign of your 1st House & your Moon Sign. They’re often different from your Sun Sign, but knowing this “trifecta” offers information that’s deeper & more relevant to who you really are. This way, Astrology will start to make a lot more sense to you, personally.
