April 2024 is not a light month, and all zodiac signs will undergo significant transformations. From Mercury retrograde to a Solar Eclipse and crucial aspects throughout the month, we will feel cosmic energy in all areas of our lives. Everything ends with a full moon in Scorpio to put our emotions in place and prepare us for the next astrological adventure in May. But until then, let’s take a closer look at the most important astrological aspects of April 2024!
Mercury Retrograde
Mercury retrograde on April 1 is not a Fool’s Day joke, although it might feel like a prank for many of us. This retrograde will last until April 25, so we will struggle with it for at least three weeks. And it is not just a regular retrograde as the fiery sign of Aries hosts it. So, we will feel a lot more impulsive and even reckless for the next few weeks.
Also, Mercury will align with the Sun on April 11. This could bring an intense revelation regarding our lives and even a breakdown moment for some of us.
Mercury Retrograde Can Lead to:
- Communication issues and misunderstandings
- Travel disruptions such as missed flights or lack of planning
- Technology malfunctions
- Brain fog and anxiety
- Impulsive actions and bad decisions
Do’s during Mercury retrograde
- Set your budget straight
- Take a closer look at your routine
- Empower your skills through constant learning
- Let go of what no longer serves you
- Listen to your intuition
Don’ts during Mercury Retrograde
- Call your ex
- Make important purchases
- Sign contracts or start new collaborations (if possible)
- Think twice before acting
Solar Eclipse
The most important astrological aspect this month is, without a doubt, the total Solar Eclipse on April 8. This solar Eclipse will push all signs to grow into a new phase and reach their divine potential. While the eclipse itself is an impressive event, it will also conjunct Chiron, the wounded-healer comet that makes us face our traumas, weaknesses, and fears so we can find the healing we need to move forward.
Because the Solar Eclipse takes place in the Aries season, it is essential to look at the astrological background surrounding this event. Venus enters Aries on April 5, switching our focus to what we love to do, our hobbies, and relationships. Also, Venus joins Mercury, the Sun, and Chiron in Aries, forming a powerful alignment with the North Node of Destiny. This stellium brings a new collective purpose and ignites our passions and dreams. The Solar Eclipse on the 8th sparks this energy, making it even more intense and revelatory.
Mars Conjunct Saturn
On April 10, Mars forms a conjunction with Saturn in Pisces. These are two highly different energies meeting in a very emotional sign. Mars is a very action-oriented planet that can bring aggression, raw sexual energy and a lot of ambition. On the other hand, Saturn is a planet of discipline, maturity, balance, and boundaries.
On the positive side, this aspect can help you charge your long-term plans with ambition and determination to reach your goals. You will feel more courageous and confident thanks to Mars’ energy and more rational and disciplined due to Saturn’s energy.
On the less pleasant side, this conjunction can bring a lot of frustration and the risk of rushing things. Don’t make any sudden decisions and always consider the consequences of your actions before diving in. Also, the energy of Pisces can make your emotions feel a bit volatile and moody.
From Aries season to Taurus season
After a lot of fiery action in Aries, we tap into Taurus season on April 19. the fixed earth sign of Taurus helps us find some stability and develop a healthy routine after a hectic month. We will feel more grounded and pragmatic when it comes to our plans. Taurus season brings the clarity we need and new opportunities to chase, especially in the career sector.
Jupiter Conjunct Uranus
Another significant conjunction occurs between Jupiter and Uranus on April 20 in the sign of Taurus. This conjunction might shake things up and disrupt the calmness we expect from the Taurus season. Jupiter and Uranus form a conjunction only every 12 years, and they will be back together in Taurus in 80 years, which makes this aspect one of the most important of 2024.
Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, expansion, and optimism, while Uranus brings changes and surprises that can shake up our lives as we know them. You will feel this intense energy in the area of your chart ruled by Taurus. This conjunction could bring a great career shift if your 10th house is governed by Taurus, or a tremendous change in relationships if Taurus rules your 7th house.
Full Moon in Scorpio
The Full Pink Moon in Scorpio on April 23 brings the focus back to our emotions. Scorpio’s energy is all about unveiling the truth and bringing past traumas to the surface to heal them and move on. This is a great time to focus on yourself and your heart’s desires and bring your dreams to bloom.
You want to close doors to old chapters and start new ones that are healthier and more aligned with your true purpose in life. And if you are still deciding about your divine purpose, this full moon could help you gain insight through self-awareness and introspection.
Venus enters Taurus
On April 29, Venus moves into Taurus, opening a luxurious portal of beauty and comfort. We will feel more open to experiencing our pleasures and indulge in what makes our hearts smile. The last days of April could bring a lot of sensuality, romance, and quality time with your partner. And if you are single, this is a proper time to meet a new love interest.
Final Thoughts
With such a busy April, there’s no wonder that we will be exhausted by the end of this month. But all the cosmic changes and celestial narratives will help us evolve and better know ourselves. The most important astrological aspects of April 2024 will bring new opportunities and vibrant energies into your life, should you choose to receive them!
