Aries Monthly Horoscope

Mercury and Venus end their retrogrades (April 7 and April 12)

If you’ve had trouble gaining traction this spring, fear not. Mercury spins into direct motion on April 7 and Venus follows on April 12, pulling you out of the retrograde haze that’s blanketed your life for more than a month. 

Communicative Mercury has been retrograde since March 15, first in your sign, then in Pisces and your sleepy twelfth house since March 29. Ardent Venus has been on a similar detour—retrograde in Aries since March 1, then in Pisces since March 27. If you’ve been second-guessing your signature moves or felt stuck replaying old romantic scripts, these retrogrades are why.

Although mixed signals begin to clear on the 7th when Mercury straightens, the planet’s return to Aries and your trailblazing first house on April 16 reignites your sharp instincts and fearless voice. You won’t think twice about acting with conviction and clearing the static that disrupted relationships last month. Mercury travels direct through your sign until May 10!

Once Venus corrects course on April 12, the love planet lingers in Pisces and your reflective twelfth house until April 30, inviting a more tender, introspective approach to matters of the heart. This soft-focus influence could stir quiet longing, subtle connections or even behind-the-scenes romantic developments.

You’re straddling two worlds this month: outward momentum and private adventures. By the time Venus re-enters Aries on the 30th, the emotional undercurrents give way to unapologetic desire. Move ahead with your trademark confidence!
