Your Horoscope For April 2018

Find out what the new springtime month has in store for you.
Your Horoscope For April 2018

Illustration, Kiki Ljung.

The theme of this month is patience. If you’ve got it, it’ll be tested, and if you don’t, there’ll be consequences. There’s a meaningful difference between compromise and defeat, and a lot of it has to do with intention. Be flexible in the face of emerging information, even if it challenges your plans and ideas. Mercury will remain retrograde until the 15th, when we also have a new moon in the fire sign, Aries. Spend the first half of April getting informed, and act on what you learn in the second half, my loves.

Horoscopes April 2018

Aries

March 21 – April 19

It may be really seductive — you might even get an inevitable feeling — to engage in power struggles this month, but it’s not wise. People are going to trigger your defenses, but whether or not they’re jerks remains to be seen. What is clear is that they’re here to help you learn what you really believe in and where you stand. Avoid blind reactions and try to not be rigid. What you think of others is subject to change in a meaningful way. Take some time to let information gestate before you do anything, Aries.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Behind every great success are many smaller failures. You aren’t meant to be perfect, Taurus, you’re only meant to be whole. Integrate the pain of lost loves and missed opportunities this month into your best self. This means that you need to own the things that didn’t break you, and make use of the wisdom you’ve gained from them. You’re moving in the right direction, but you still have some serious work to do. Make it easier on yourself and integrate the lessons from your past, my love.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

This is an excellent time for starting something new, Twin Star, but you have a bad habit of biting off more than you can chew. We have your ruling planet, Mercury, retrograde over the first half of April — this is a great time to review and reassess, but not so much for launching projects. Wait until after the 15th to birth new projects or take meaningful risks. You don’t need things to progress quickly, you just need them to progress in the right ways.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

It’s important that you remember to breathe through your feels. You can expect people to be really upsetting this month, but it’s not clear if that’s because they’re really annoying, or you’re just feeling on edge. Either way, strive to be patient and compassionate, Moonchild. Slow down long enough to understand what you’re feeling, and to seek the best medicine for it, because your initial reactions are likely to be a bit too raw to trust, my love.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

A part of growth is knowing when and what to cut back. Astrology teaches us that life doesn’t happen in a straight line, but rather in cycles of development. Pay attention to where you’re at in your own process this month, because this moment is the foundation to what comes next, and a reflection of what’s behind you. make conscious choices about what you want to cultivate in your life, and then follow through, Virgo.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

People can be so disappointing sometimes, but when someone does you wrong that’s a reflection of them, not you, Libra. This month you can expect a lot of interpersonal drama that will test you. The trick is to know what to stand up for, and what is just data. When others reveal themselves to be unkind or unjust, you can fight them but to what end? Believe others when they show you who they are, and fight for what you love, not out of spite or hate.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

It’s time to rise and to shine, Scorpio. This month you can get swept up in the current of other people’s drama or you can determine your own story line like a champ: the choice is yours. I recommend identifying your top three priorities and making a commitment to follow through with them. This will help you to know when you’re off track, and to manage your time more effectively. It’s time to take your game to the next playing level, my love.

April may reward you with shortages, but it’s not for nothing, ‘Tarius.

There’s no time like the present, Cappy. Instead of reacting like you always do, you can respond in more intentional ways.

Be on guard for dynamics that start off on the 4th that will reach a point of culmination around the 25th. What you do counts, and how you do it is pretty much everything.

You can worry all you want, but it won’t help you get ahead, Aquarius. This month is going to bring up some tricky issues for you to navigate, but if you remember this one simple instruction you’ll do just fine: be true to yourself. You’re not on the hook for anything but who you are and what you do. If you’re going to compromise, make sure that you’re being true to yourself as you do.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

You may feel like you “should” act, but it’s way better to do things when you’re ready than to go out there half-baked, Pisces. It’s likely that you’ll have to make some major changes, or at the very least have to say no to some stuff this month. The trick is to make sure that you’re saying yes to the winners. If you consent to investing in things you don’t actually care about you’ll end up feeling chaotic at best, or resentful at worst. Do what’s right for you, even if it’s the more complicated choice.
