Aries is the first sign of the zodiac so it’s a good time to set intentions — especially around the New Moon on 5th April and Full Moon on 19th. And it’s spring; full of fresh wishes and goals for the year!

Here’s what you’ve got to look forward to this month… (Don’t know your star sign?)

ARIES

It’s your time to shine! And to be careful not to take on too much as things might be happening more quickly than you can deal with, due to Mars’ recent transition into Gemini.

Take note of the New Moon on 5th and focus your intentions on how you want to thrive and where to channel your energies. Though, due to planets in Capricorn, you could be feeling external pressures, use it as an opportunity to structure and prioritise your goals.

And your love life is the focus on 19th!

TAURUS

You could be feeling a little torn this month; combining reflection, making you feel in touch with your feelings, and decision.

As for all the signs, the 5th is noteworthy — but 10th will have you feeling romantic; not just with human connections, but to things beyond yourself like nature and creativity. Whatever happens, just embrace it!

The Full Moon will throw up issues, juggling the need for independence with deep connection — but the 21st will have you doing something you never thought you would. Watch this space.

GEMINI

This is a month for action, due to Mars being in Gemini; which may not be entirely amicable. Though this will energise you, giving you the opportunity to persuade and get sh*t done via efficient written and spoken communication. Make it work for your own situation by talking through issues in your own relationship — especially as, when Jupiter turns retrograde on 10th, you may have some things to sort.

The New Moon is an opportunity to set goals and intentions, especially as you’ll be in a particularly proactive and habit-making patch; starting on 7th and intensifying on 18th. Be conscious to allow downtime to maximise your potential.

CANCER

Your focus on care and nurturing continues; particularly due to the New Moon which will throw up questions about how you want to be known. Give it some thought and set intentions based on your decision.

Movement from Venus and Mercury may be influencing your travel plans and spirituality, the second half of the month might see you returning to your grounding carer role.

13th is one to watch for detoxing and decluttering elements of your life that don’t benefit, while the Full Moon (19th) tests the dynamic in your closest relationships, which will be palpable in dealings on 24th and 25th.

LEO

Get ready to feel energised, fiery and empowered; with your charisma sky-high, helping you with your current professional goals. If you’re needing this for inner confidence, make it happen on 5th.

Classic Leo, you could be feeling a little too carefree; potentially due to the influence of some transformative new figure in your life, which leads you to make exciting but slightly reckless changes. Just remember what you find important and let the influence be inspirational, rather than destabilising; keeping options positive and open.

Focus on your relationships at the end of the month when the Moon enters your love sector on 27th.

VIRGO

April gives you an opportunity to kick back after a potentially unclear March, so just go with the flow to avoid more confusion.

Mars in Gemini is enhancing your already perfectionists’s eye for detail which can help you thrive professionally. But relax on 27th and remember that though the small things seem important, they’re always relative.

Look to your roots — by getting your house in order and detoxing — on 21st, to create a secure base for growth and refreshing your habits for the better that will make room for prospective adventure.

LIBRA

Get the Full Moon on 19th starred as it’s the time to explore your relationships; with the planets encouraging independence and freedom. Shake off expectations and do what feels right.

The 12th and 13th give you the space to consider how to stay true to yourself in your professional life, while 10th is a day for love.

Mid-month, on 14th and 15th, is about managing boundaries which influence your life in entirety — so it’s worth checking they’re in the right place.

SCORPIO

Due to Mars in Gemini, this is the time to focus on expression, particularly of your own ideas. Though movement on 24th throws up the opportunity to put it into practice.

Continue this communication into your work, allowing you to assert yourself in professional scenarios and avoid any tensions.

Focus on habits and routines on New Moon (5th), allowing you to eliminate the necessary — including the people who have been granted your loyalty, potentially without reason, around the end of the month.

SAGITTARIUS

After a speedy period of growth and development, it slows around 10th when Jupiter turns retrograde. It isn’t negative; it allows plans to mature and to get a positive, patient attitude about your future in check. This may be put to the test as Mars’ influence on your relationships brings up options for new romance. A word of advice: don’t bite off more than you can chew.

The New Moon (5th) gives you the opportunity to set goals around fun and creativity, while the Full Moon (19th) makes you question how your need to express yourself shifts how you’re seen by your friends. Though you’ll feel an independent temptation to throw caution to the wind, stay grounded and don’t take for granted the important people in your life.

CAPRICORN

Rather than be slowed by a slightly sober — due to Saturn which is being felt by all signs, but especially Capricorn — push on for new and better achievements.

Use the New Moon to focus on your home life as it’s in the sector of home and family, which gives you the opportunity to relook at your situation intuitively, with a new focus on feelings and self-worth.

Mars is on the move, through work, health and routines, which might make things feel a little too much. Use the New Moon to make an optimistic plan for how to thrive while you deal with it as, on 30th, Saturn going retrograde will allow you to mull it over.

AQUARIUS

This month will feel fast moving after a snoozy March as Mars in Gemini shakes up your fun and creativity. Make the most of it by allowing your wit and intellect to shine — especially on 5th, when your communicative skills are strong. Either use the time to be heard or to set intentions about how you want to be going forward.

The 18th marks the move of Mercury from Pisces to Aries, which will encourage some new ideas to take root, then the 19th’s Full Moon makes you question your beliefs.

Single and ready to mingle? Pick 13th to share with someone potentially special, though careful four days later when you could get yourself in to trouble.

PISCES

With Mercury direct again, your recent dreams can be put into action — even more so as Aries enhances your self-love, helping you achieve your creative potential. As a result, your financial and self-worth might take a boost on 21st.

Use 8th to express yourself and be ready for magic on 10th, before a potentially hectic patch.

The Full Moon (21st) emphasises the need to value what you need rather than others, but aim for a happy compromise.
