With the Sun in Aries until April 19, you easily draw kindred spirits into orbit
Get out and circulate! The Sun is in Aries and your third house of communication until April 19, sparking up your social life. Local action could heat up, so head out and explore the happenings in your 'hood. You might need to make a conscious effort NOT to overbook; your calendar will fill up quickly and you could exhaust yourself with too much running around. Still, this is a vibrant time to network and mingle as you'll easily draw kindred spirits into your orbit.
Got an idea to pitch or a big ask to make? Now's the time, Aquarius. With your mind racing a mile a minute, schedule brainstorming sessions at work and catch-up chats with friends you've lost touch with. Thirsting for new ideas? Poll friends for their favorite podcasts, whether you’re learning about responsible implementation of AI in your business or stoking some other curiosity.
Restless Mars is also marching through Aries, from April 9 to May 18, further revving up your third house of group activity. Step away from the Google Docs and hop back into that group text thread with your besties. You can look forward to a spike in your popularity, so start flexing your networking muscles.
Caution: Mars here can be energizing AND irritating, so to keep tension to a minimum by building in adequate “me” time in between all your appointments and events. If you need to have a difficult conversation, it might become unavoidable near the April 19 meetup of Mars and accountable Saturn. Set firm ground rules and take time-outs if needed. This is definitely NOT the time to text or email your feelings. A good old-fashioned face-to-face conversation is the way to go.
The April 1 Libra full moon is a great day to take a chance
Roll the dice, Aquarius—nothing ventured, nothing gained! On April 1, the year's only Libra full moon in your expansive ninth house could bring an exciting opportunity to put your boldest ideas into the world, or to take a leap of faith! With the illuminating full moon in this articulate sign, you’ve got the planetary permission to express your visionary ideas, no matter how “impossible” they might seem. To your surprise, you could discover that a lot of people are eager to get on-board, especially if your project is connected to an of-the-moment message or mission.
Pondering a vacation or a return to school, maybe a startup business? Travel, publishing, entrepreneurship and study are all on the agenda at this full moon. Cast a wide net and don’t limit yourself to one audience or region. Like-minded people await in unexpected places!
So, Aquarius, what DO you really want? This visionary moment might be the culmination of something begun at the Libra new moon last October. Just be careful who you bring into this endeavor as a tense 90-degree square to no-limits Jupiter, which is in Cancer and your sixth house of administrative details. You could spin into analysis paralysis or bite off much more than you can chew at once, leaving yourself overwhelmed by the scope of a project.
Ideas and connections spark BIG at the Aries new moon on April 17
Synergies abound! This April 17, a supercharged new moon arrives in Aries, activating your third house of communication and kindred spirits. Get ready: This moon sets the stage for a brand-new project or collaboration. Where can you apply that Aquarian creativity to get your message across in a way that captures people’s attention (and keeps it)?
It won’t be hard to find the answer to this riddle. A rare SEVEN heavenly bodies join Aries brigade today: the Sun and the moon, communicator Mercury, passionate Mars, structured Saturn, dreamy Neptune and healer-feeler comet Chiron. A conversation or a seed of an idea could blossom into something truly meaningful between now and the September 26 Aries full moon.
Could your inner circle supply everything you need? Quite likely! With this lunar liftoff in your third house of local affairs, you might find the perfect "test space" right in your neighborhood. Look for resources in your own backyard or pilot a community project, from a pop-up shop to a trunk show to a small event where you can teach your new methodology.
With all this energy in your cerebral third house, you’d be wise to capture your brainstorms in writing or on your voice app. Think about a community you’d most like to impact or a cause close to your heart. How might you use your gift of gab or your wide social network to make a change? The world needs it more than ever.
When the Sun enters Taurus April 19, home become your focus
Ready for a little break, Aquarius? You'll have an easier time settling down starting April 19, when the Sun begins a monthlong visit to Taurus and your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. It’s time to nest and rest!
After a whirlwind Aries season, you'll stop being tormented by FOMO when you skip that party or event. Between now and May 20, you've got carte blanche to binge-watch your favorite series, cuddle on the couch with a pet and enjoy some sweet solitude. Hunker down at home, do some spring-cleaning and reconnect to loved ones. If you're dealing with any tough emotional issues, leaning on your support system will soothe your soul.
Ease into the season, though, Water Bearer. On April 25, just as Uranus is exiting Taurus, the Taurus Sun will form a harsh square to powermonger Pluto in Aquarius. Why do people seem so threatened by you creating perfectly reasonable boundaries? There could be an unspoken assumption that you’ll be available on-demand with time, attention, even money. If you’ve been overly generous and now have an entitled person to deal with, it’s time to change the game.
Power struggle alert! Someone could try to emotionally blackmail you or tug on your heartstrings near this date. But you've fallen for this act enough times, Aquarius. Fend off the feelings of guilt and co-dependence, and uphold your boundaries. Enabling this person to take advantage of you will feel a lot worse than the fleeting discomfort of putting your foot down.
Uranus enters Gemini April 25 for a 7-year visit in your fame and creativity zone
Come out, come out, wherever you are! Life is about to get more romantic, creative and wildly fulfilling starting April 25, Aquarius. That’s when your galactic guardian, Uranus, zips into social, sexy Gemini for a seven-year cycle in your playful fifth house, for the first time since the 1940s.After seven years in slow-moving Taurus—and your domestic fourth house—you’re more than ready for an upgrade to the pleasurable and experimental side of life. Since 2018, it hasn’t been easy. Uranus has been “in fall” in Taurus, rattling your sense of home and stability. But now, the rebel planet hits the gas, charging into your fifth house of love, fame and creativity until May 2033.
Since Gemini is a fellow air sign, expect to feel more in flow as your talents (and passions) get a cosmic upgrade. Opportunities may come out of nowhere: a chance encounter turns romantic, or a hidden skill becomes your next income stream. Focus on the gifts you want to share and then test them on trendsetters, not the masses.
Romantically, Uranus can deliver an electrifying jolt of kundalini energy. Whether you’re spicing up a stable union or meeting someone unexpected, the rules are yours to write. Single? A playful swipe might spark something fated. Coupled Aquarians, don’t expect to be joined at the hip. You might embark on a more autonomous journey as your own creativity takes on a life of its own. Consider it an invitation to support one another’s dreams, not drift apart. Your job now is to create connections through freedom and fun. This Uranus cycle could feel like your personal renaissance. Dive in with curiosity, and let the rest follow.
