It cannot be overstated: April is a major astrological month for all zodiac signs. With Mercury, the planet of communication, going retrograde on April 1, a solar eclipse on April 8, and fiery Aries season already underway, everyone should prepare for major shifts in all areas of life, says Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a graduate degree in counselling psychology. 'We are starting new cycles, and new beginnings right in time for spring.'
For starters, Mercury will go retrograde at the beginning of the month, which generally marks communication and tech issues, says Page. But the solar eclipse in Aries will have a bigger impact on your life this month, says Page. This astrological event is 'about what you want and need in life—your true purpose,' she explains.
While you're hunting for your life purpose, there will be a few other significant planetary shake ups, per Page. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, and Uranus, the planet of the unknown, will come together, ushering in change and renewed motivation for the zodiac. This powerful intersection won’t come again until September 2037, so seize the astrological kick in the butt while you can! Also worth noting: The sun will move from fire sign Aries to the earth sign of Taurus on April 19, mellowing the energy a bit—just in time for an emotional full moon in the sign of Scorpio. Basically, expect the unexpected this month, and be ready to roll with the punches!
