ARIES | APRIL HOROSCOPE

Happy April, Aries! The month kicks off with Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication, moving into your Aries 1st house of self and identity. This is a time to speak your truth and be authentic to your needs, thoughts and feelings. Keep in mind though, that Aries is a very direct and blunt energy, so it could be beneficial to truly think before you speak for the next few weeks! On the 11th, we will be experiencing a New Moon in Aries, also falling in your 1st house of self and identity. What are new intentions, manifestations or ideas you want to bring into this world, Aries? Are there any new personal goals you want to set for this upcoming lunar cycle? What passion projects do you want to start right now? What fire are you wanting to ignite to propel you forward this time around? On the 14th, Venus finally exits its sign of detriment and moves into your Taurus 2nd house of finances and material possessions. Venus is extremely at home in Taurus, and this transit can indicate some good fortune coming through in your monetary area of life. Venus is not only about values, but also money, art and pleasure. What can you invest in during these next few weeks that will benefit you in the long run with your financial security? Are there any investments worth making that can help build or strengthen the foundations laid when it comes to your money? On the 19th, both the Sun and Mercury join Venus in your Taurus 2nd house of finances and security. If you weren’t ready to make moves before, Mercury is here to push you to do so! By moves, I don’t necessarily mean actually throwing your money wherever you see fit to make a profit, I am talking of actually laying down a plan that will help you build the financial security you wish to have in your life. Mercury is all about our mind and our intellect, really digging into topics or possibilities you see in this area of life and how they might play out in the future. Do you see any investments worth making, whether they are money based or not? What can you change in your life that can lead you to gain more security for yourself? Whether that is starting a new routine, a new job, a new investment plan. Whatever you see fit! On the 23rd, Mars enters your Cancer 4th house of home and family. Now Mars is not really at home in Cancer, in fact, it is quite the opposite, which makes this transit a little difficult to deal with sometimes. With the planet of action and war moving into your house of home and family, it can indicate some potentially combative times in this area of life. I like to think of Mars in Cancer as having the potential of being emotionally explosive, so try and keep yourself level-headed and passive in times of disagreements or clashes as much as you can. There can be a positive outcome with trying to deal with these emotions rationally rather than wanting to be passive-aggressive or impulsive when expressing ourselves, especially when it comes to family dynamics and people we are living with. On the 26th and to finish off this month, we have a Full Moon in Scorpio, which illuminates your 8th house of shared resources and finances. What an ultimate opportunity to release, Aries! Even though the moon is very isolated and out of its comfort zone in Scorpio, this can be a change to let go of all burdens that don’t pertain to you. Any emotional or very much physical baggage that you might be carrying for someone else has the potential of being released right now. What is holding you back? What do you want to make room for in the shared area of your life that will bring more positivity and growth your way?
