April Horoscopes Are In! - A Cosmic "Reset" Button Is Coming

By the time you’re reading this, Aries season will be in full swing and go-getter Mars (the planetary ruler of Aries) will be in fast-paced and multifaceted Gemini. And although there will be multiple planets in ambitious and adventurous Aries this month (including a New Moon in Aries on the 5th) and things will feel like they’re moving at lightning speed, we’ll find that April is not necessarily about doing more or doing everything.

April will be more of a month where we’ll need to be smart about what we do and adaptable in how we do it, especially with three planets (Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) going retrograde. This theme continues when the confident Sun enters grounded and determined Taurus on April 20, which will push us to focus on the things that we value and the amount of work we’re willing to put into getting them.

With expansive Jupiter going retrograde in Sagittarius on April 10 for the next four months, we may be asked to pare down and focus on the things that we really want, opposed to spreading ourselves too thin and too far. For some of us, this Jupiter retrograde can show us where need to have more faith or optimism.

When Pluto takes its five-month backspin (beginning on April 24) in no-nonsense Capricorn, it’s all about facing our fears while Saturn’s five-month retrograde In Capricorn (beginning on April 29) will ask that we reexamine where we’ve been avoiding accountability, taking on too much responsibility, or blindly following the rules.

And with the second (yet rare) Full Moon happening in partnership-oriented Libra on the 19th, we get another chance to get our relationships right.
