Aries April 2016 Monthly Horoscope

Venus enters your sign, Aries, on April 5th, and you can be more charming and attractive, and people can seem more drawn to you than usual. You can take more pleasure in getting attention and being in the spotlight. You can be easier to get along with, more pleasant and compromising, and you can try to focus on the good around you and how you can make things better. Which you’ll need this month!

Mercury enters earth sign Taurus, the sign after yours, on April 5th as well, and your mental energy can slow down as you want to take your time with your decisions, but once you do decide, you can stick with it no matter what. You can also focus on your budget and financial plans. Problems may come though when Mercury turns retrograde starting on April 28th. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our view here on Earth; it isn’t actually moving backward, it just looks like way because of the way the planets move in relation to one another. When a planet is retrograde, the energy tends to be thrown off. For you, this Mercury retrograde might make you considerably more stubborn than usual. You won’t budge from your position one iota, and it can seem unreasonable to others for you to be so stubborn. You can be inflexible, and you can be lazy, not feeling motivated to get much of anything done. You can also experience financial issues, and you have to adjust on the fly, but you may not want to. You have to work on being more flexible and having more patience, because impatience can go through the roof right now. It lasts until mid-May, with the impact lasting from mid-April through May.

The Sun enters Taurus on April 19th, and Venus leaves Aries and enters Taurus on April 29th, joining Mercury in Taurus. The Sun can shine a light on the issues you want to address that are slowing you down too much and that are impacting you financially, while Venus tries to bring some positive energy to help you make better decisions and be more flexible.

Mars will also turn retrograde in April, on the 17th in fellow fire sign Sagittarius. You can become much more defensive of your beliefs, and you can fight against anyone you feel doesn’t agree with you. They may not be trying to push their beliefs on you, but you can take their disagreeing that way. You can feel frustrated over a perceived lack of freedom and space in your life, wanting to break out and run, or you can feel you have too much space and that the world is too distant. Legal issues can come up, so try to avoid that as best as you can. It’s not the best time for travel, especially far distances, unless it’s somewhere you’ve been to before. If in school, you can deal with challenges that have to be overcome. If you’re a writer or speaker, you can have difficulties with your work, and can be too defensive about it. It can be a good time to go back to school or redo writing work though. The impact of Mars retrograde in Sagittarius lasts through May. Mars is also your ruler, so you can feel off in a subtle way throughout the entire retrograde, which lasts until the end of June.

Pluto turns retrograde on April 18th in earth sign Capricorn, and over the coming months, you can pause the transformations that have been made with your goals, life path, and foundation. Unrelenting obsession with your goals can calm and give you the chance to adjust, but you may also feel frustrated that you can’t make the kind of changes you want for now. There’s a lot of retrograde energy this month, so try to be flexible with your plans and prepare for reversals.

A new moon occurs on April 7th in your sign, Aries, and this is usually a good time to get something started that you can work on for the next year. This is the only new moon for 2016 in your sign, so you definitely want to take advantage of the good energy you’ll have, especially before the retrogrades begin. You may get things going early, but experience a stalling of developments, a block, or a reversal that you have to deal with, but keep moving through any challenges that may arise. A full moon occurs on April 22nd in water sign Scorpio, and this can be a very serious full moon for you. You can focus on issues that you hold deep inside of yourself that you normally don’t want to face, but need to bring out into the light. This may be brought out by the retrogrades, and you can feel emotions stirred deep inside of you that you didn’t realize were there. They can be strong and scary, but you should try to deal with them as best as you can.

A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our view here on Earth; it isn’t actually moving backward, it just looks like way because of the way the planets move in relation to one another. When a planet is retrograde, the energy tends to be thrown off. For you, this Mercury retrograde can throw off anything and everything since it’s in your sign. It can touch any area of you life, and you can find it especially difficult to communicate clearly and openly, to be heard and heard correctly, to be understood, and to express yourself. You have to be able to adjust to whatever happens quickly, and keep your schedule as flexible as possible. Try not to plan for anything too big during this time so you don’t risk it going very wrong.

This retrograde can bring out the rage and frustration and impatience that is deep within you, hidden away so you can avoid it, but it can rise to the surface now, bubble and boil and erupt. You can become more obsessive, paranoid, jealous, spiteful, and full of rage, and you need to work hard to calm yourself down and not give in to these extreme emotions. If you’re feeling these things, it’s because you’ve been avoiding things you needed to work on and hiding away feelings that have only festered and grown. Focus on the core issues that need to be addressed, and find a healthy outlet for your frustrations. You can also have issues with intimacy, feeling more emotionally distant from loved ones or becoming too clingy, and some of you may see the return of old lovers. The impact of Mars retrograde in Sagittarius lasts through May.

April brings a lot of retrograde energy, so make sure you’re ready to redo, revise, revisit, and handle any reversals.

On April 7th, a new moon occurs in Aries, and this can be a good time to do something in the background or behind the scenes, to work on your plans on your own and without interference, and to listen to what your intuition is telling you to do. You can find your gut instinct comes in handy. You can also work on clearing things out from your life you no longer need and are ready to let go of. On April 22nd, a full moon occurs in water sign Scorpio, the sign opposite yours, and you can focus on relationship issues that need to be addressed. You may lean more on your loved ones, needing more support and attention from them in order to feel more at ease emotionally, but you need to give as much as you take. You can focus on bringing better balance into your life, and trying to keep the peace, which may be difficult to do during the second half of the month, but it can help you and the people around you.
