Hi, I’m Indi! I’m honored to bring you the April horoscopes for W magazine. This month is highly impactful and energized, with Mars entering Cancer and a solar new moon eclipse in Aries taking place around April 20. Many of us are feeling sensitive after the massive astrological shifts that occurred in March, with Saturn entering Pisces and Pluto entering Aquarius. For April, however, the stars are asking us to dig deep and pour faith into what the future holds. Good luck, y’all!
Aries
Aries, happy birthday! Expect the month of April to be highly significant, for you will be calling your power back. In case you’ve forgotten, you are the main character, dear. This month asks you to focus on your direction in life, since cycles are ending—specifically, within your career. The solar eclipse in your sign on the 19th is the catalyst toward expansive beginnings, fated events, and transformations. This will guide you to reach your highest potential when it comes to living in your truth and being in the spotlight. Keep your eye on the prize.
Taurus
Taurus, this month is a highly abundant time for you—so be sure to tap in! The theme for April is centered on how you express creativity and nurture yourself. It may be time to turn inward and make breakthroughs surrounding your spirituality. You’re taking bold steps and claiming your own authority by growing out of stagnancy, which might encourage you to reconnect with your roots (family included). It’s out with the old and in with the new, Taureans, while you make space for all this growth to attract different sorts of energy into your life. Be aware of the mercury retrograde in your sign later this month—you might get a little tongue tied!
Gemini
Dynamic Geminis, it’s full speed ahead for you this April. Now that Mars has finally moved out of your sign and entered Cancer, the hard work and dedication you’ve been putting in lately will finally pay off. The full moon in Libra will allow an old chapter in love to end, and possibly a new romantic cycle to begin. April is your green light to start whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do, and reestablish your main character role. This is an uplifting metamorphosis, one which propels you towards a complete rediscovery of your belief systems; it’s also a wonderful time to clarify your goals. Geminis, you’re focused on expanding your energy to achieve new heights in your social life as well as your career. And we love to see it!
Cancer

Your career is expanding this month, and you can expect eye-opening, positive changes surrounding long-term or short-term goals. April is an important opportunity to remove what is no longer in your highest good and saying goodbye to what does not serve you. Increasing love and intimacy are the biggest focus for this month, and remember—vulnerability is a good thing. It allows you to feel more connected to others as you open up your heart, learn from refreshing perspectives, and focus on building new connections and friendships.

This energy means you are releasing self-limiting beliefs and embracing new responsibilities.
Pisces
Pisces are exploring discernment and boundaries this month. These steps you’re taking will help you evolve. April will bring new, expansive activities; exciting cycles, and wake-up calls. You are ready to start doing things differently—expect your goals for the future to be under review, as well as the kinds of friendships you’ve got.

If it doesn’t feel right anymore, or you’ve had a change of heart, that is okay, dear Pisces!
