April 1st Quarter Moon in Cancer

We start the month with Cardinal emotional energy that encourages us to direct our inner emotions and need for self-care. Instead of directing outward, we need to direct inward. The  Quarter Moon follows the Aries New Moon and  is leading up to the Full Moon in Libra. This is all Cardinal energy signaling direction and initiation - but it isn't productive to trust feelings without growth. The Quarter Moon reminds us we aren't quite there yet. Can you trust what you feel?  Perhaps, but there is more inner work to be done so that we act out of the purest intentions. This may cause us to feel confused and unsure of what to feel but that is because the inner work cycle is not done.

April 3rd Venus in Gemini
There may be an increased desire to reach out and communicate with others more than before as we move into Venus which values partnership and Gemini which is associated with socialization and communication. Those who have felt more solitaire lately may connect even more with social media, online platforms, and other digital ways of communicating. Venus in Gemini brings the potential for being curious and intrigued by others. Venus in Gemini energy can be flirtatious so some online romances or increased communication with a partner can emerge.   Venus in Taurus enabled us to stay centered with who and what we are used to, but Venus in Gemini forces us to desire new forms of contact.  Venus also rules money and possessions so with the air element Gemini some people will be exploring alternate ways to make or secure money.


April 4th Jupiter conjunct Pluto
This is the first of three Jupiter Pluto conjuncts in 2020. With the world affairs, it's important to watch the energy that emerges from this alignment.  Together these two planets indicate a merge of the expansion of change or power. There may be a tug of war between wisdom and transformation, or they simply will find a way to co-exist with change that is forceful and necessary but allows for optimism.


April 7th Full Moon in Libra
For those willing to go forth with the cycle, you will see any seeds planted during the other prominent Moon cycles begin to develop. With the Full Moon in Libra, we are learning new ways to cooperate. We aren't just presenting options, but we are understanding that we don't do most things 100% alone. See the value and power within purposeful partnership and cooperation.

April 11th Mercury in Aries
At this point Mercury is Conjunct the Sun. This heightens the potency of action matching our words. Mercury in Aries brings bold, direct communication. Whether it's liked or not, it is very clear. Those with Aries energy will feel more than ever the need to be vocal and match their actions with their mouth.

April 19th Sun in Taurus
Now, the Sun (ego) becomes concerned with appearing solid and stable. We'll see more effort around  maintaining or building a solid foundation. Following other seasons, there has been a lot of emotion, action and thinking. Now the time comes  to assess, look around and ask what works and what doesn't. With Mercury in Aries there may be more direct and blunt questioning of what is and isn't sustainable.
@Amethystvirgo

April 22nd New Moon in Taurus
With the Sun, Moon and Uranus being in Taurus we see a collaboration between expression, emotions, and change while still being centered around stability, possessions, and resources. However, with the influence of Uranus there is more experimentation and unorthodox methods of thinking about how to maintain and keep that afloat. This time brings opportunity to question and internalize our boundaries and if there are any emotional shifts we are clinging to that actually need to change.


April 23rd Ceres goes into Pisces
Ceres is an asteroid associated with nurture and care. Though the astrological energy is picking up with much needed action and direction in our society, we still need to keep the Pisces concepts of true compassion and devotion. People will want to maintain causes, outreach and organization that has helped with the pandemic.

April 25th Pluto in Capricorn Retrograde
Pluto can be transformation, controlling, abusive, or even overbearing. It all depends on how the energy is used. Old power struggles may emerge and questions over gain. People may have to go back to what they assumed was finished.  There can be questioning of if something was altered, was it necessary? The question for the individual becomes if we changed ourselves or circumstances as much as we thought. Did we really attain our goal or was it temporary?


April 27th Mercury in Taurus
We've played around with the direct, blunt energy of Aries and possibly said what needs to be said. Now it's time to make sure what we said, promised, or communicated actually holds up. People may be sticking to their words more than usual, and avoid what's complex or needs heavy interpretation in exchange for direct, natural forms of communication that is reliable.

April 29 Pallas in Aquarius

Asteroid Pallas moves into Aquarius impacting the collective pysche. Pallas is linked to creative intelligence, wisdom, and how we solve problems. Asteroids serve as a support to planetary influences so we must look at where the planets are to see Pallas' true influence. Pallas in Aquarius represents solving problems with unique ideas that may not seem like the most easy but are logical and can be long-term solutions that benefits groups and society.

Mercury moves into Aquarius on the 4th for a few weeks before heading back into Pisces on the 16th. Mercury being in Retrograde allows us to shift between the pensive, reflective nature of Pisces, while also  rethinking our group associations and  whether sporadic changes are the best or not with  Aquarius RX. We may need to revisit something we were moving forward with  to ensure we are really making the right decision.  Venus leaves fiery Aries on the 4th and moves into loyal, stable Taurus. This is where we see if whatever we poured our passion and energy into  really has a solid foundation after all.  On the 9th, the Full Moon in Virgo enables us to apply the energy created during the New Moon in Pisces (2/23)  to process what needs to be done next. Reflection time is over - it's now time to take stock of everything and begin to process and plan how you will bring it to reality.  The same day of the Virgo Moon, Mercury (which rules Virgo) goes direct. The Retrograde has a shadow period but count on some things that were halted now being moved forward with new clarity. 

This season brings about opportunity for action. This will be a very helpful season for anyone who reflected and slowed down during Pisces season because now you can put all of your private thoughts and epiphanies into action. Saturn goes into Aquarius on the 21st which now calls on us to break out of tradition and the practical approach of Capricorn to now accumulate and succeed using untested methods and logic. Unlike Capricorn whose goals are more personal, Aquarius' energy goals are linked to groups and outreach connected to society. The 24th brings a New Moon in Aries daring some of us to match manifesting with pure action and intent. By the 30th, Mars enters Aquarius eliciting logical insight that something must be done to solve problems. Actions are colored by solving collective problems where we sidestep personal glory for progressive solutions and endeavors. 

Aries

4 of Pentacles & 8 of Pentacles

What you've focused on months prior allows you to shift gears and get more acquainted with yourself as Saturn prepares to leave your 10th house. Your cards show that though we are encroaching on your season, there is still room for you to focus on responsibility and building your skills. The Full Moon in Virgo appears in your 6th house (an Earth house) causing you to take inventory of your everyday life and making some commitments. Venus enters the 2nd house on the 5th helping you see the purpose in not just seeking the thrill of what you can acquire, but being grateful for signs of stability.

@AmethystVirgo

Taurus

2 of Cups & 10 of Cups (Reverse)

You seek mutual understanding involving an emotional matter, but are still waiting for things to come to full circle for you to feel the sense of success you need. For some, this relates to your status or career as Saturn prepares to move into your 10th house. Mercury moves between your 10th and 11th house this month shaking up the areas of career and associations. Others are watching you this month. The Virgo Full Moon in your 5th house signals to stop and take time to   appreciate the little things in life and find a sense of enjoyment.

@AmethystVirgo

Gemini

8 of Cups & 10 of Pentacles

You've been undergoing a period of learning what matters and what doesn't for several months. This month, you may start to see how a sacrifice will actually allow you a more sturdy foundation. Some things seem clearer, though you're not really sure yet about why. Mercury energy circulates as it moves in and out of Pisces & Aquarius and appears at the top of your horoscope chart this month. Venus in Taurus in 12th  brings out the compassionate side of you where you are able to look at what you value in a more intrinsic way. You may feel less inclined to be drawn to what is new and interesting, and able to see what is most meaningful. The New Moon in Aries in your 11th house is an opportunity to find your place among others and show your leadership.

@AmethystVirgo

Cancer 

King of Cups (R) & 6 of Cups

For some of you, there is a longing for something that has changed or is no longer there as Mercury in RX may have some of you even more nostalgic than usual. Venus in Taurus in 11th house can attract people who recognize your importance or value. For some, this ties to your career since the Sun in Aries goes into your 10th house on the 20th. Since Aries and Cancer are both Cardinal energy, this can create a greater sense of direction at this time. Saturn will move into your 8th house soon creating a new outlook on some area of your life where you may determine some more long-term goals that require your dedication.

@AmethystVirgo

Leo 

5 of Pentacles & The Sun (R)

At the start of the month you may feel anxious  over something regarding your finances or  stability. Something can be contingent on others since Mercury will bounce around into your 8th house. Saturn also moves into your 7th house which typical means we purge who is not necessary and try to see relationships that allow us to truly relate to another by becoming more realistic about what meets our expectations. Mercury in RX leaves you feeling slightly confused to whether the answer is to revisit your interpersonal relationships, or set your sights on yourself. You'll feel more like yourself once the Sun moves into Aries into your 9th house.  Since the Sun rules you and is exalted in Aries, you'll feel more adventurous and purpose seeking. The New Moon in Aries also will occur in your 9th house. You tend to seek what gives you the most shine. However, the Sun in reverse, reminds even the Mighty Leo to sometimes explore and broaden their horizons and not just simply go for what they're already good at.

@AmethystVirgo

Virgo

Death & The Ace of Wands (R)

You like to preemptively know what's going and plan for the future. The transformative card paired with the Ace of Wands Reverse reminds you to sometimes channel your opposite sign. Pisces, and allow the process of change to happen naturally. By the end of the month Saturn and Mars will be in your 6th house which is ruled by Mercury and has your natural energy. You'll have the most will and drive to get things done at this time, as less energy is in your 5th house which has caused some of you to be a little lax on some of your responsibilities. Mercury is between your 7th and 6th house this month showing some connection between your everyday life, work life and your relationships with others. The Full Moon in Virgo allows you to solidify something established last month and things are more likely to be in order at this time. You can also capitalize on the New Moon in Aries in your 8th house to trust your instincts about something new to do without hesitation.

@AmethystVirgo

Libra

8 of Cups & 9 of Wands (R)

You know there is something you need to give up to move forward, but you're lacking self-discipline to completely change your actions since you like to feel in balance. Most of the energy in your horoscope chart centers around socializing which for many of you is natural. The Sun in Aries moves into your 7th house on the 20th. This adds an edge to your relationships since Aries is your opposite sign. It may feel like a natural energy exchange where you move away from ambiguity and take the lead in some of your interactions. There is a lot of potential for romantic unions or a focus on who and what you love and value. Venus in Taurus moves into the 8th house suggesting a desire for more stability and reliability in your life. Additionally, Mars in your 4th house shows that many of you have some duties in the home sector and will need to take lead to manage home affairs.

@AmethystVirgo

Scorpio

8 of Swords (R)  & Seven of Cups

There is a focus on indecision and you've realized that tugging to what you have decided without budging can halt some of your dreams. Aries shares Mars with you, so during Aries season you may activate the more extroverted energy of Mars rather than the usual introverted inner will associated with Scorpio. The Sun moves into your 6th house on the 20th, which gives you credit for some of the daily grind work you've been doing, as well as being more active in your health. The New Moon in Aries appears in your 6th house as well where you may find you have the power and inner will to take a chance on something that can become a more permanent fixture in your life.

@AmethystVirgo

Sagittarius

King of Pentacles & Nine of Wands (R)

You're learning how to achieve success by not simply giving into whims, but by learning lessons about your own restrictions and self-discipline. If something didn't work before, it doesn't mean you can't still achieve it with a little more practicality (shown by the King of Pentacles). There may be some enjoyment with the New Moon in Aries appearing in your 5th house sparking perhaps a new experience, or interest, that ties into a new endeavor. Saturn moves into your 3rd house for a bit essentially forcing you to become mentally intrigued by something new that you'll have to learn more about in order to obtain a goal. This is even better if this is something you enjoy since the Sun in Aries moves into the 5th house on the 20th giving you a double dose of Fire energy, where you can have more direction and initiative.

@AmethystVirgo

Capricorn

Page of Pentacles & Page of Swords (R)

True to your form, this month is about keeping things relatively practical and doing what makes sense instead of trying to negotiate or sway with your words. You're more effective when you show others how things work, rather than telling them how things work.  Home continues to be a spotlight when the Sun in Aries moves into your 4th house causing you to feel a sense of protectiveness or enthusiasm to deal with matters relegated to this house. The Virgo Full Moon occurs in your 9th house which shows that there may be more of a mentally stimulating experience occurring for you this month.  This may require you to building onto a skill, while also expanding your awareness beyond your usual scope.

@AmethystVirgo

Aquarius

The Chariot (R) & Page of Pentacles

Similar to Capricorn, huge sweeping moves are not a focus of this month. Some things remain status quo, whereas one goal in particular feels temporarily halted but that may be for a reason. Saturn moves into your sign this month making you feel a little bit more in tune with how to channel and communicate your efforts in an authentic manner.  The  Full Moon in Virgo occurs in your 8th house bringing about more introspection than usual which can cause you to understand things at a deeper, more intense level giving new energy to that goal that was paused.

The New Moon Aries in 3rd sparks opportunity to focus on new knowledge or information since this occurs in your house of communication and learning.

@AmethystVirgo

Pisces

The Hanged  Man & The World

As said before in the yearly horoscope, you've been encountering a whiplash of reality for the past year or so where you're learning the practical lessons to set yourself up for success. When the Virgo Full Moon hits your 7th house, some of the feelings and perceptions you've observed about others may come full circle where you may need to critique the associations you have and if they are truly reciprocal relationships. The Sun in Aries moves into your 2nd house this month highlighting independence and risk-taking in the area of finances. The Aries New Moon also occurs there so this is an optimal time for any Pisces who feel too co-dependent to take some smart risks to establish themselves financially. Saturn also moves into your 12th house for a bit so it's possible some may feel a bit disconnected from others at this time and use that to truly channel work and creative goals.
