Monthly Horoscope: Sagittarius, April 2021

The sun in fellow fire sign Aries lights up the sector of your chart that rules romance, creativity, and fertility, making this a joyous time! It’s a wonderful moment to connect with your lovers, make art, and generally celebrate life.

The start of the month also finds you focused on home, family, security, and money as Mercury in Pisces connects with Pluto in Capricorn on April 2, and you’re having deep conversations about these topics. Mercury enters Aries on April 3, bringing you exciting news, party invitations, or social connections. Venus is also in Aries at the start of the month, which bodes very well for your love life, and the mood is especially exciting as Venus connects with Mars in your opposite sign Gemini on April 6, creating a playful atmosphere. 

Watch out for some laziness as Mars squares off with Neptune in Pisces on April 9! There might also be a lot of nostalgia in the air, so be careful not to over-romanticize the past. The mood is heavy, mopey, and sleepy, and people might even be a little shady, so watch out for fibs. Save important conversations for another day. The next day, April 10, already has a much better energy for communication as chatty Mercury connects with taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius. Unlike Neptune (the planet of fantasy), Saturn is the realist of the solar system, encouraging a more grounded energy for communication. Also on April 10, sweet Venus mingles with lucky Jupiter in Aquarius, bringing you some lovely news and generally creating a fun, flirty atmosphere!

The new moon in Aries arrives on April 11, marking the beginning of a new journey in your love life and your creative endeavors. You might be connecting with a new lover or reconnecting with a partner, and this is a great time to start new artistic projects or have a breakthrough with any creative blocks. Some intense emotions are also likely to come up during this new moon, as sweet Venus clashes with the planet of the underworld, Pluto, stirring up jealousy, possessiveness, control issues, and power struggles, especially regarding intimacy and money. If you feel like someone is manipulating you or not being trustworthy, this is an opportunity to bring someone to help mediate. Keeping things in the shadows will only help bad behavior continue, while bringing things to light could transform the situation.

The sun connects with Mars on April 13, encouraging a peppy, upbeat, and confident attitude. Venus enters Taurus on April 14, encouraging you to edit your closet and rethink your beauty routine. The sun connects with your ruling planet Jupiter on April 15, bringing exciting opportunities and an open energy around communication, but it clashes with Pluto on April 16, finding you confronting issues concerning control and power again. Facing the truth is the most important thing you can do right now! If someone is dangling a carrot or attempting to control you financially, take a step back and ask someone outside of the situation for help. This is a crucial time to set boundaries and also to let go of the past: Why hold on to a grudge that’s costing you peace of mind?

Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align on April 17, making it a fantastic time for networking and communication. The mood is expansive and exploratory, proactive and open-minded! But Mercury and Pluto square off on April 17, finding you having very intense conversations. Some important news may come to light. The sun meets Mercury on April 18, bringing an important perspective concerning your passions, love life, and creative pursuits. Mercury and the sun enter Taurus on April 19, encouraging you to get organized, tend to your to-do list, tidy up, and reflect on your daily habits, routines, and rituals. You’re ready to try a new way of doing things as Venus meets Uranus on April 22, encouraging experimentation.

Warrior planet Mars enters water sign Cancer on April 23, helping you cut ties with the past. This is fantastic for letting go of emotional baggage and handling issues concerning debts, taxes, or any other complicated financial matters. Mercury meets Uranus on April 24, finding you embarking on exciting projects, making unexpected plans, and perhaps taking on an unusual gig. Mercury and Venus meet after clashing with Saturn on April 25, creating a fantastic energy around setting boundaries and discussing wants and desires.

The full moon in Scorpio arrives on April 26: Scorpio is one of the most intense signs in the zodiac, so this full moon is sure to be emotional! Whatever you’ve been repressing may come to the surface. This is a powerful time to release old patterns and transform your life, but like much of this month’s planetary alignments, it requires you to let go of the past. Pluto begins its retrograde on April 27, intensifying issues concerning money, power, and control. Mercury and Neptune connect on April 29, creating a lovely, understanding energy around communication. The sun meets Uranus on April 30, bringing some surprising news or an unexpected shift in your schedule, or finding you adjusting your routine.

Good luck this month, Sagittarius, and see you in May!
