April arrives like a cosmic dance full of sparks, shifts, and soul-deep invitations to step into authenticity, courage, and flow. From action-packed Mars aspects to heart-opening Venus transits and a powerful Full Moon in Libra, this month holds potent energy for realignment and transformation. Let’s walk through April’s celestial choreography, week by week.
Week 1: Inspired Action & Cosmic Support
The month kicks off with a triple alignment involving Mars, Saturn, and Uranus on the 4th. These aspects are all about momentum with a twist expect surprising insights and sudden urges to break free from old limitations, especially when it comes to your goals or routines.
Mars sextile Uranus sparks a desire to take bold, innovative action.
Mars trine Saturn lends discipline and structure, so your wild ideas don’t fly off the rails.
Saturn sextile Uranus blends the old and new, offering breakthroughs that are grounded in wisdom.
On April 6, the cosmos pours blessings with:
Sun sextile Jupiter, lighting up optimism and expansion.
Venus trine Mars, harmonizing the divine feminine and masculine great for creativity, passion, and relationships.
It’s a feel-good start to the month with both structure and serendipity on your side.
Week 2: Heart Awakening & the Pink Full Moon
The second week’s energy centres around Venus and her soulful conjunction with Saturn on April 7, calling us to love with depth, maturity, and commitment. At the same time, Mercury goes direct in Pisces, finally clearing mental fog and reawakening spiritual clarity.
From April 8–12, Venus continues her dance:
Sextiling Uranus, she encourages unconventional expressions of love and beauty.
Turning direct in Pisces on the 12th, she softens our hearts and deepens our intuitive connections.
Then on April 13, we welcome the Pink Full Moon in Libra, a luminary that spotlights balance, harmony, and sacred reciprocity in our relationships. It’s a powerful moment to release old dynamics and call in deeper alignment especially in love and social bonds.
Week 3: A Shift in Tempo
The third week brings major movement. Mercury enters Aries (directly this time) on the 16th, bringing clarity and courage to communication.
Then:
On the 17th, Mercury meets Neptune, adding dreamy, imaginative vibes but watch for illusions or idealism.
On the 18th, Mars enters Leo, firing up confidence, leadership, and bold self-expression.
The 19th sees Mars trine Neptune (dream-big energy) and the Sun shifting into grounded Taurus, helping us slow down and savour the moment.
The April 20 is cosmically charged when:
Mercury sextile Pluto deep truths surface.
Sun square Mars tension between willpower and ego may flare.
And yes, Venus sextile Uranus (again!) adds a little extra sparkle and unpredictability in love or finances.
Week 4: Rebirth, Power Moves & the Super New Moon
This final stretch of April is intense and catalytic.
April 23 brings Sun square Pluto, challenging power dynamics and old control patterns.
April 24, Venus conjunct Saturn echoes the earlier theme of love as a soul commitment this is serious heart work.
Then on April 26, Mars opposes Pluto, marking a powerful showdown between action and control. This can be a trigger point watch your reactions and consider where you’re being asked to stand in your truth without dominating others.
Finally, the Super New Moon in Taurus on April 27 is your moment to plant real, lasting intentions around abundance, pleasure, self-worth, and stability. This is one of the most potent manifesting lunations of the year slow down, drop in, and anchor your dreams.
The month closes with Venus entering Aries on April 30, bringing fiery, fresh energy to matters of love, beauty, and desire. This placement is bold, direct, and unafraid to chase what (or who) it wants.
In Summary
April’s cosmic landscape is rich with opportunities for renewal, creativity, and empowered transformation. Mars and Venus both take centre stage, guiding us to act with passion and love with purpose. The Full Moon in Libra and the New Moon in Taurus are especially supportive lunations for releasing imbalance and anchoring new values.
This month, the universe invites you to align with your truth, speak from the heart, and take courageous steps toward the life that reflects your soul.
