Astrologer shares April horoscopes – 1 very important date

April is near, bringing with it a whole new month of astrological happenings, and one day may prove pivotal for multiple signs. Astrologer Inbaal Honigman says: “A rare month with no retrogrades at all is a reason to celebrate. April of 2026 sees every single planet in the solar system go direct, meaning forward.

“This creates a month that puts one foot in front of the other. No mishaps, surprises or even disagreements. It is a great month to sign up for a course of studies, embark on an art project or start a house search. Multiple planets in Aries put the limelight on the fiery sign, and their hard work begins to pay off with unexpected offers and opportunities. For Taurus, there is immense relief, as Uranus leaves their sign after an almost-unbroken seven year visit. This planet of rebellion has caused much chaos in Taurus’s life and identity, most of it unwelcome, and they’ll be delighted to kiss it goodbye on the 25th [an important astrological date].”

Aries: March 21 to April 19

Happy Aries season!

Bold and active, this month plays to your strengths, Aries. Saturn, the planet of discipline, and Neptune, the planet of dreams, have both gone into your sign, and they plan to stay, so that your focus and your intuition won’t fail you. In addition, Mars planet of passion goes into your sign on the 9^th and Mercury planet of communication enters Aries on the 14th, allowing sensuality and chattiness to do the talking. Culminating in the new moon in Aries on the 17th, your new beginnings will be plentiful.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20

Loving and peaceful, this month lets you be your full self, Taurus. Venus, planet of love, is in your sign until the 24th, making Taurus the top contender for finding romance. Uranus, planet of rebellion is in your sign until the 25th, encouraging you to ask who you are and who you want to be. And the Sun enters Taurus from the 19th, setting the scene for Taurus season. In fact, this Uranus has been in your sign for the past seven years, almost all the time, which is the reason you’ve had a challenging time. Now that it leaves you, you won’t miss it.

Gemini: May 21 to June 21

Sociable and fun-loving, this month calls on you to overhaul your love life, Gemini. Two planets journey into the sign of Gemini this month. Firstly, Venus planet of love swims into your sign on the 24th, bringing new insights around romance and the home. Secondly, Uranus, the planet of rebellion, steps into your sign the very next day, making you want to get rid of the old and bring in something new.

Cancer: June 21 to July 22

You don’t ask for much in life, Cancer, and you’re happy with the simple things. A happy home, an income, a full tummy, all those come easily this month. As you are governed by the moon, your life is a never-ending cycle, as we journey from new moon, to full moon and back every month. This April is quite a perfect month, as we start from the full moon on the 1st. The full moon in graceful Libra sets the tone, starting you off surrounded by friends, relatives and comfortable circumstances. As the light of the moon reduces nightly, you arrive at the new moon on the 17th, in the bold sign of Aries. This welcomes new beginnings, opportunities and fresh potential. From then on, the moon will grow to fullness again, reaching it on the first day of May.

Leo: July 23 to August 22

Fearless and proud, this month, you find who your true friends are, Leo. Your strength of character and desire to always do the right thing are important components of your resilient personality. These traits are bound to rub some people up the wrong way, and this happens on April 5th, when your ruler, the Sun, forms an unfavourable angle with Jupiter, the planet of luck. Someone was going to give you a leg up, help you promote a project or let you have complimentary tickets to something. They suddenly decide against it, without an explanation, because they’re jealous that you’re already luckier than most. On the 25^th you get your rewards, as the Sun forms the same type of angle to Pluto, planet of rebirth. Your strength and willpower may annoy others, but it will bring you to the right place at the right time.

Virgo: August 23 to September 22

Focused and single-minded, this month has you try on many different hats for size, Virgo. Mercury, your ruling planet, goes through several conjunctions this month, which means it high-fives a few other planets, taking on their qualities and characteristics in the process. On the 16th, Mercury is conjunct Neptune, the planet of dreams, helping you dream bigger and not be so logical all the time. On the 20th, Mercury is conjunct Saturn, the planet of discipline, helping you focus more effortlessly. Later the same day, the planet is conjunct Mars, the planet of passion, which lights a fire under your tail. All of those take place in the bouncy sign of Aries, which means they’ll all be quick and efficient shifts and changes.

Libra: September 23 to October 22

Gentle and graceful, this month starts off with a bang for you, Libra. On the first day of the month, the full moon is in your sign, which gives you the perfect opportunity to set your wishes, goals and manifestations. Write down a list of your preferences for the month ahead, charge your crystals on the windowsill in the lunar light, and light a small white candle which will carry your desired outcome up into the heavens. The full moon in Libra encourages love, beauty, and happy moments spent at home.

Scorpio: October 22 to November 21

Passionate and sensitive, you sometimes feel like there are no “off” days, Scorpio. This month is not too active for you, not too exhausting, and yet you still get the sense that you’re permanently engaged, permanently occupied. Someone is always asking where you are, what you’re up to, and if you can do them a favour. The moon is in your sign twice this month, which is rare. First, between the 3^rd and the 5th, and then the moon is in your sign again on the final day of the month. During those days, you’ll be especially in demand. The desire to sink and hide will not become reality.

Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21

Life is a non-stop party with your positive mindset, Sagittarius. This month proves that you don’t need a huge social circle in order to be happy. There’s a strong start to April as Mercury, the planet of communication, creates a positive angle with your ruling planet Jupiter on the 3rd, and someone shares some important information that works to your advantage. On the 5th, however, the Sun forms an unhelpful angle to your planet, which shines a light on the less useful friends in your circle, and they’re just going to have to go. On the 26th, Mercury returns, this time at a harsh angle, and you may hear some home truths. You value truth over lies, so you welcome the honesty. As you say goodbye to some old friends, you clear the space to welcome new friends in the future.

Capricorn: December 22 to January 19

Disciplined and stable, you keep your eyes on the prize now and forever, Capricorn. Your ruling planet Saturn is the planet of discipline, and throughout the month it is in the direct and strong sign of Aries, helping you stay focused. Especially on the 19^th and the 20^th when a couple of other planets lend their support. On the 19^th your planet conjuncts Mars planet of passion, injecting some extra buzz into your heart. Then on the 20th, Saturn conjuncts Mercury planet of communication, which pushes you to speak up more.

Aquarius: January 20 to February 18

Observant and quick, you prefer a quiet life, Aquarius, but this April may be a little stormier than you’d hope. Planet of originality, Uranus, is your ruling planet, and it is shoulder to shoulder with Venus, planet of love on the 23rd. This means that you’ll be looking to do something new with your love life, perhaps trying some new exercises with a current partner, or looking to obtain a whole new partner. The same planet is moving from the peaceful sign of Taurus, where it has been since 2018, to the fun-loving sign of Gemini from the 25th. You may find yourself receiving more invitations, processing more ideas and being a lot more creative over the next few months and years.

Pisces: February 19 to March 20

Sensitive and intuitive, you naturally think with your heart, Pisces. But this month, a boost of courage changes the course of things for you. The April 13 conjunction between Mars and Neptune will mostly impact Aries; with Mars, planet of passion, together with Neptune, the planet of illusion, you’ll also feel it, too. The strength and intensity of all this fire will cause you to shake off any weight that doesn’t suit you, and you’ll be more motivated and more forceful than you have been in a long time.”
