April - Welcome to April, Sexy Leo!  The month ahead blends your intuition and creativity to achieve career goals and initiate improvements in your home life. It's like your third eye is on fleek and you better not second guess yourself. It's a month of heightened intuitive abilities, psychic insights, adventures, expansion, and growth. The more you trust yourself, the more your desires will flow into your life. Don't allow yourself to be swayed by the opinions and dramas of others. Focus on what's right for you. So, let's explore your monthly horoscope and uncover your potential. 

Mercury challenges you to see the bigger picture at the beginning of the month, as it turns retrograde on the 1st. Yes, the month begins with Mercury retrograde. However, this is a chance to broaden your mental horizons and philosophical ideals. There may be delays or obstacles in matters related to higher education, travel, and legal issues. Don't stress yourself out, trust that in due time everything will resolve itself. 

With Venus entering Aries on the 4th, you'll feel more confident and independent, and ready to take on new challenges. This will ease retrograde, and bring you lots of confidence, self-belief, and determination to make the most out of any situation. 

And thanks to an eclipse on the 8th, it's like you are leaving behind old beliefs and seeking out a new way of looking at the world. The fact that solar eclipses are about destiny and self-exploration, makes it an ideal time to map out future adventures and connect with exotic or foreign cultures. Perhaps travel is on your mind or learning, this is the time to trust yourself and follow those intuitive nudges. Especially because the Sun meets Mercury on the 11th, enhancing your mental landscape and urging you to follow up on any correspondence, emails, or text messages. 

The waxing Moon enters your sign on the 15th, and it's all about treating yourself and having fun. The vibes are so highthat you would think it was your season. Spend time finding some balance between your personal interests and the sacrifices you make to get in the others' focus.

Your ruling planet, the Sun enters Taurus on the 19. During Taurus season you'll find it easier to step into the spotlight. Although Mercury is still retrograde, you still have the support you need to make big moves. If you haven't earned the applause or recognition you deserve, be patient. It's on the way. At the same time, you'll feel a pull to prioritize downtime with loved ones. Since Jupiter joins forces with Uranus on the 21, you'll be able to pinpoint innovative ways to strike a balance between career and family. Expect the unexpected, whether it be career changes, promotion, starting a new business, moving, or purchasing property.

And with a Scorpio Full Moon on the 23rd, you are encouraged to bring love to all you do and you will surely succeed. You may reach a milestone in any projects or goals you've previously set for yourself. It's an emotionally intense time, yet it's about alchemy and manifesting success not just externally, but internally. Scorpio is a magician and wants to remind you that you are one too. So, what are you completing, releasing, surrendering to, or welcoming into your life? 

You are free to make choices without retrograde stress when Mercury turns direct on the 25. Move forward with care, as Mercury will be in its shadow for two weeks. 

Finally, the month ends with Venus entering Taurus on the 29th, and Mars entering Aries on the 30. This is pretty big as both move into their ruling placements. Since the spotlight is where you thrive, Venus in Taurus will be rewarding. Venus along with the Sun, Jupiter, and Uranus activate the most public part of your chart. Romantically speaking, you will feel more inclined to show off your affectionate side. If single, you could meet a new love interest at a fun event or even at work. Meanwhile, Mars in Aries gifts you with the power to defeat and overcome adversaries. You'll still need to keep your ego within healthy boundaries, but your capacity to focus and start new things will be at an all-time high. Pay attention to the health of your loved ones.

Overall, trusting yourself and balancing your career and family will bring long-term stability and success. Any challenges or obstacles require love. So, infuse it into all of your interactions.

Self-care tip: Consider trying an activity like pottery or painting as a form of self-care. Engaging in creative outlets can provide a therapeutic escape from daily stressors and allow for self-expression.

April's affirmation: "I am open to new experiences, allowing my inner light to shine brightly as I explore the depths of my soul and align with my higher purpose."
