I have both good and bad planetary news this month, so let’s start with the positive, shall we? “The overall energy for April, at least until the sun goes into Taurus, is to get going and get moving,” says says Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology based in Atlanta. “All of the planets are in direct motion, which only happens for a few weeks every year. This is basically the Universe’s way of telling us to hop to it!” A lot of positive changes and growth can happen this month—as long as you don’t fight it. On the 20th, things do slow down a bit when the sun enters Taurus, a luxurious, slow-moving earth sign.
And now for the bad news (you didn’t think I’d forget, did you?). The day after Taurus season begins, on April 21st, Mercury goes retrograde. Because Mercury rules over communication, prepare for misunderstandings, tech issues, and just weird blips in life during this time, says Page. Other important dates this month include the full moon in Libra on the 6th, which will bring balanced energy to all signs. And on the 11th, Venus, the planet that rules over love, enters a fun-loving, chatty Gemini, bringing a light-hearted energy to life and love. And then, also on the 20th, there’s the second (!) new moon in Aries of the year, which coincides with a powerful solar eclipse, says Page.
Basically, this is your sign to get your butt in gear before the planets do it for you! Ahead, Page shares her April 2o23 horoscope predictions for every zodiac sign:
