Your monthly horoscopes made by Yours Truly.
Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19
Your planet, Mercury, begins its retrograde on April 1. You may find yourself reflecting on your past commitments and relationships. This is a chance for you to close outdated storylines and begin a new chapter. Embrace spontaneity and trust your instincts, but try not to get into any fights.
Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20
Taurus, your communication skills will come in handy as Mercury retrograde muddles everyone’s ability to communicate effectively. You may be the rock for your friends to lean on this month. Remember, we were given two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20
Gemini, your word for this month is self. As in, you may often find yourself alone for the first half of this month. But don’t jump to any conclusions, it may be better to avoid the drama and tension of this Aries season.
Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22
The name of the game this April is patience, Cancer. While you may feel like you have so much to figure out, any rash decisions can be sorely misinterpreted and lead to further complications. Try journaling to get your thoughts and feelings out while still keeping them to yourself.
Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22
Leo, you can be very helpful this month. See where you can get involved or lend a helping hand. Though, try your best not to meddle in the personal affairs of friends and family — conflicts of interest abound this month and you do not do well in the middle!
Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22
Virgo, your professional life will be affected this month. You’re pretty good at separating work from your personal life, but the lines may become blurred as the warmer weather invites more time to play. Double-check your assignments; cross those Ts and dot the Is before handing anything in.
Libra – Sep. 23 to Oct. 22
This month may push you off kilter, Libra. Your ego could be bruised in the cosmic storm that is Mercury’s retrograde. Impulse shopping, doom scrolling, or rewatching your comfort show won’t help this time around — it’s time to find a hobby that gets you out of your head and into your body!
Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21
Scorpio, cry if you want to. The end of semester is heating up and this month may feel more overwhelming than you initially anticipated. With all the miscommunication swirling around, be aware of who you’re speaking to about personal matters. Try your best not to get caught up in gossip or make any contributions to the rumour mill.
Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21
Sagitarius, you may have to default to your sense of humour this month as things get heated. Any situation can be funny if you change your perspective. Not taking mistakes and shortcomings (whether yours or others) seriously this month will help you navigate the retrograde.
Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19
April invites you to take stock of your long-term goals. This is the beginning of an astrological new year, so check in with your resolutions and begin planning for next semester. If you are practical about your goals, there isn’t anything you can’t accomplish.
Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
You could find yourself mixed up in some drama this month, Aquarius. Stand in your authenticity and check in with your values. Not every issue needs to be explosive, but if you’re not careful, you could be the fuse that sparks disagreements.
Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20
Pisces, your dreamy disposition is at odds with the logic of Mercury. You may find your musings to become more grounded in reality or your flightiness could be the jumping-off point into illogical conclusions. Mind your manners and leave the decision-making till May.
