It’s that time of the month again: the full moon is right around the corner. You might see it as the light at the end of a tunnel—or, it could feel like the paparazzi trying to catch you in the act of something nefarious. On May 1, what has been hiding in the shadows is coming to the light, courtesy of the Scorpio full moon. Scorpio tends to work in the shadow realm, going where others won’t dare to venture, emotionally speaking. This sign teaches us about transformation, mastering one’s craft, and the fact that sharing is caring.

Full moons bring awareness, like a giant, cosmic spotlight shining upon whatever you’ve been hiding away or avoiding. Under this Scorpio full moon, you might find yourself becoming aware of what’s been causing the kind of comfort that turns into complacency. Perhaps there is a plateau that’s a faux oasis, stopping you from progressing on your journey. Taurus season wants us to stay comfortable, but the Scorpio moon forces us to question whether or not a certain situation or experience is causing more trouble than it’s worth. Full moons allow us to let go, and the Scorpio full moon is urging you to rid yourself of any shackles. The good news? Now is a great time to rally the troops—your support systems will help you during this upcoming transitional phase.

Additionally, any Scorpio transit teaches us about operating with precision—the scorpion homes in on one spot and strikes when the time is right. What have you been working on? What have you been developing? Who have you been hoping to become, through tireless hours of effort? The full moon culminates as a completion of something you’ve been working toward. As individuals, and as a collective, we are realizing we have what it takes to be the best version of ourselves. We’re also realizing that it takes effort and time to make change. A bit of reflection on where you started and where you are now is what you need to help add a bit of motivation for the next phase of your mastery.

Finally, the phrase “sharing is caring” is at the forefront of this full moon. Taurus and Scorpio sit on the axis of values. Taurus is a lone bull, grazing in his favorite part of the meadow, while Scorpio is like a flock of doves, flying high and in mesmerizing unity. When is it time to be the bull and/or the dove? Is there a middle ground between standing on your own and joining the flock? What disrupts either of them in their natural state? The full moon will provide balance between our non-negotiables and shared connections. It’s a lesson in knowing when to stick to your guns, and when to phone a friend (or 30).

Ultimately, the May 1 Scorpio full moon is a lesson in trust and renewal. Change is necessary to grow, even if it disrupts your current situation. It’s scary, I know. No one likes to feel as though the ground beneath them is unstable. However, there is a message from the cosmos: trust you will land on solid ground. The Scorpio full moon doesn’t just usher in a monthly cleanse to help us transform, it reminds us what we’re capable of when we dig deep, fully commit, and ask for support from trusted advisors. Growth requires challenge. That’s why they call them growing pains. However, they also say diamonds are made under pressure—we’re hitting all the clichés today, people!—so the reward is worth the effort.

For extra astro guidance, read for your rising sign below! It’ll give you a deeper look at your current situation—and help you navigate the next phase of life after this beautiful Scorpio full moon.

Aries

Who are the people helping you to stand on your own? Your independence is a gift, but that doesn’t mean you have to shoulder everything by your lonesome. Are you holding onto anything that’s preventing you from letting others in? This full moon is a lesson in sharing, and it wants you to let go of any fear keeping you from asking for the help you need to move forward. Focus on supporting yourself, and opening yourself up to receiving support.

Taurus

Who are the current power players in your life? Right now, you might be noticing your relationships shifting. Perhaps there are some connections that are growing and some that are dwindling. Have you possibly grown out of any connections? Do you need to create space for new connections? This full moon is a lesson in how you allow people into your circle. Even the simplest of relationships should be built on trust, so what is stopping you from establishing that expectation?

Gemini

Right now in particular, you should feel like it’s time to make a change to your daily life. Are you giving yourself the opportunity to switch things around or are you digging your heels in deeper? You’re in a big healing phase at the moment, so switch things up to allow the healing to take full effect. Don’t stress so much about the minutiae—if you do, you will get caught up in the same cycles. Start looking for a new normal, and cleanse yourself of the habits that are perpetuating anything uninspiring.

Cancer

What are you willing to give in order to create a life filled with joy? Are you committed enough to yourself? During this full moon, your lesson is about finding the passion and diving headfirst into the fire that fuels you. What will set your heart ablaze? Start spending time getting creative, exploring different outlets to express yourself, and making passion a priority. Now isn’t the time to get complacent or comfortable with making excuses as to why you can’t indulge a little bit.

Leo

Is your inner world bursting at the seams? This lunation is a strong one, and it wants you to find balance between your inner and outer worlds. Perhaps the perfect exterior is starting to show some cracks on the surface. Are you tired of holding everything in so tightly that you feel like you’re going to explode? It’s tough always trying to come off as the most polished version of yourself. What do you need to feel safe enough to allow your inner world to express itself in the outer world?

Virgo

Is there a lot of mental noise going on right now? Perhaps a slew of ideas, experiences, and interactions have left you equally inspired and exhausted. How can you simplify your daily life and the constant stream of messages coming through? Focus on the trustworthy information—anything that is coming from reliable sources and doesn’t trigger your BS radar. Additionally, if there is anything you want to get off your chest, now is the time to do so.

Libra

Money talks, but is talk cheap right now? You might be feeling as though you need to make some changes when it comes to your resources—and possibly hold onto your wallet a bit tighter. There could be an outside source guiding you to make ill-advised decisions as well. Ask yourself if you are living under the guise of false stability. Make sure you are investing your time, energy, and money into facets of the material world that align with your values before prioritizing someone else’s.

Scorpio

This is a metamorphic full moon for you, Scorpio. Who is emerging from post-winter hibernation? Are you letting people see you as you see yourself? Now is a good time for a little TLC—maybe a spa day or a long sauna session to detox and cleanse the old so you can allow the new to shine more brightly. If you are still living as someone you’ve thought you laid to rest, let this full moon be the moment when you truly close the door on one chapter and accept that there is a new story for you to write for yourself.

Sagittarius

Do you feel like there is something in your life coming to its natural end? This full moon is a spiritual awakening, of sorts, and wants you to embrace the lesson of surrender. Allow yourself to celebrate the beauty of the unknown, and all the ways you imagine a dreamy future for yourself. This will take trust, however. Trust in yourself to keep what you need, and trust that if you let go of what you don’t, new energy will naturally flow into your life.

Capricorn

Are you ready to step out of your lone wolf era and join the pack? There’s a lesson in community coming your way, and learning how to place trust in others. Take the time to consider what community looks like in your life right now. Are the people you surround yourself with a reflection of who you wish to become? Maybe you need to give yourself the space to explore a more robust network of friends that you (and they) can contribute meaningfully to.

Aquarius

How do you wish to be remembered? Is there something going on in your professional life that is putting the spotlight on you (whether or not it’s wanted)? During this full moon, you might feel a bit of a disconnect between external validation and inner desire. What will help you balance these two? Do you need to explore new paths for yourself? Are you stepping up to the plate when asked? Now is your chance to invite in a new beginning by remembering that nothing in your life is set in stone—if you don’t want it to be.

Pisces

Is your worldview changing? Perhaps you’ve learned something new that has you questioning what you believe, and whether you’ve been looking at things through too small of a scope. To grow, you need to challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone. There is a lesson in accepting you don’t know it all, and you can’t rely solely on a “vibe.” Whatever journey you are on, know that it is about to take on a new path and it’s your job not to lead with assumption.

The last of the generational planets is moving signs. This is the final culture-shifting transition of the decade: with Uranus leaving the soft, stable, and sensual sign of Taurus, we are about to be whisked away in a free, fluid, and fast-paced flurry of Gemini energy.

This isn’t completely new, though. We got a taste of Uranus in Gemini last year. Remember when everyone crashed out over AI, new protests were popping up every day all over the world, new media sources were created and legacy platforms were consolidated...? Yep, that was all Uranus in Gemini, marking the dawn of a new era.

This year is particularly significant for Uranus in Gemini, because the planet of rebellion, change, and advancements in culture meets up with all the other movers and shakers of the cosmos. A quick recap before I dive into the good news: Uranus in Gemini revolutionizes the way we communicate. It often brings us a surplus of ideas, and information that can shock, inspire, confuse, bewilder, and even send you down a path of enlightenment. Objectively, this is a fabulous transit. Uranus loves air signs. Barriers that restrict the free flow of connection will be broken down, and networks will become a beautiful web, full of depth.

The biggest piece of advice I can give for this period of time is to stay curious. If you have a question, dig deep for the answers. If something piques your interest, explore every facet of it. Don’t settle for simplicity—force yourself to embrace a childlike spirit that sees the world as full of endless potential, rather than a rigid system with rules to follow. Uranus is a rule-breaker, innovating systems by flipping the status quo the middle finger. Gemini allows you to do that with some flexibility.

This summer will be juicy one, thanks to Uranus. Between July 15-21, Uranus has hot dates with Neptune, Pluto, and Jupiter (all harmonious). Anything that has been restricting you from chasing your dream, fully embracing a psychological transformation, and taking a scary (but necessary) leap of faith is going to come under the line of fire. Uranus is essentially going to huff and puff and blow the obstacles out of your way (or at least help make it more obvious what tools you need to use to keep moving forward).

July should be an electrifying time. We can expect on a personal and collective level that…

1. Tolerance for being shoved into a box will be non-existent.
2. Risky business and leaps of faith will be at an all-time high.
3. Boredom and the desire to carve out a new path will be an itch that must be scratched.

It’s important to remember that Uranus is all about positive change, guiding us to utopia, even if we have to make big adjustments to get there. So before doing anything reckless, ask yourself whether or not the experience will be a step in the right direction—or if this is just your inner diva over-producing the reality TV show called Your Life.

For additional guidance, check your rising sign readings below. Keep in mind that Uranus will stay in Gemini for about a decade, so you have plenty of time to work with and adjust to these influences. Wishing you all the best, and go have some fun.

Aries

It’s time to sharpen your mind and senses. Uranus will make things feel a bit chaotic, especially if you don’t have a way to process all the information this world throws at you in a healthy way. On one hand, you should absolutely look forward to learning more and exploring new tools to make your life easier. On the other, be careful about overdoing it. We don’t need an unnecessary crash-out.

Taurus

This transit will have you approaching your values and material world in a new way. Perhaps there will be some questioning if what you have really serves any purpose, or if your money habits align with what matters most to you. Don’t let anything be for show. Remember you are allowed to change your stance on things if it means being authentic to your core values.

Gemini

If anyone is getting a glow-up from Uranus moving signs, it’s you. You’re about to become a whole new version of yourself! Thank goodness, because the world could always use a bit more variety. Take this transit as your permission slip to explore who you are and how you show up in the world. Look in the mirror and challenge yourself—allow your inner self to be reflected through the other self in new and exciting ways.

Cancer

This shift of Uranus is going to clear you up—mind, body, and soul! Changes in beliefs, spiritual practices, and the ways you hold onto and let go of things are on the horizon. Your spiritual awareness and mental awareness are synchronizing, giving you the change to prepare for a huge change of self by releasing what no longer serves you. Slow down and find a routine that lets you process all the downloads incoming.

Leo

Look alive, because Uranus in Gemini is going to sweep you up in a rush of energy and action. The next few years will take you to new places to meet and work with new people. Think of it like you’re curating a guest list for the ultimate gala, and together you will move the cultural needle (together, don’t forget). Collaborating with like-minded people will do you well.

Virgo

If there was ever a time for your dream job to come forward, it’s now. Uranus in Gemini is going to take you on a wild ride, exploring new ways to leave your mark on the world. That itch you want to scratch is the stars telling you that now is the time to put faith in yourself and the universe. The ideas will flow when you stop getting in your own way.

Libra

Consider these next few years your enlightenment era. There will be plenty of new and exciting adventures to go on, so say yes to things that intrigue you. Uranus is pushing you to expand your belief systems, your understanding of the world, and a pursuit for knowledge. Ask questions, put yourself out there, and if it feels like you’re on the ledge waiting to take a leap of faith—jump.

Scorpio

As a wise woman named Lizzo once said, “truth hurts, needed something more exciting,” and that is exactly what Uranus in Gemini will mean for you. Uranus is going to help you explore trust, intimacy, and transformation by shifting the way you share information. Being honest about what you need from others. Additionally, your shared resources will glow up, giving you the ability to make stable connections and gain support.

Sagittarius

The next few years are about to be a party. And like all good parties, the people will be the main focal point. Who are you inviting? Which unwanted visitors are sneaking in? Where can you curate the perfect soirée? Uranus moving into Gemini offers an opportunity to refresh the way you connect with people. Don’t be surprised if you are pushed and pulled in many directions—there’s a lesson to learn from everyone.

Capricorn

Are you ready for a routine reset? You might have to deal with some health habits in order to really make the most of these next few years. Expect massive shifts in your work, daily life, and the ways you flow through the mundane. Explore new ways to organize your time! Who knows, you might discover you have new priorities. You might start exploring new professional paths as well.

Aquarius

Uranus in Gemini is going to help your rebellious, freedom-loving spirit come alive. These next few years are going to be a fabulous time to discover new passions. The limit quite literally does not exist when it comes to making connections. Let your inner child lead the way. If something excites you, go after it. Say yes to joy, it is an act of rebellion and helps keep the hope alive. Who knows, you may even discover that a simple hobby reveals a deep truth about yourself you hadn’t accepted yet.

Pisces

Uranus in Gemini calls for a spring cleaning moment in your home. As you dig through the heavy stuff, look at your emotions and your upbringing in new ways; open doors for a new sanctuary in your life. There is a lesson in communicating your inner world over the next few years. Explore new boundaries, talk through them. Redecorate your home, and if you hate it, change it back. Explore what safety means and how to make it a new normal.

How has April been for you so far? Are you feeling the heat? How about the fierce and fiery influence of Aries, thrusting you forward to new adventures and exciting challenges? Aries is the warrior spirit, after all, and this month has been filled with opportunities to step into your own confidence. The Aries new moon, taking place on April 17, is no exception.

Aries is the cardinal fire sign, bearing lots of initiator energy. This is the song keeping you going for one more round in the gym (my personal favorite: “Midnight Sun” by Zara Larsson). This is the Kool-Aid man bursting through a wall kind of energy. It’s a push to go forward without hesitation.

But there might be questions swirling around your head at the moment. Where am I? Where am I heading? How am I supposed to thrive amid the chaos? They’re all fair questions—and thankfully, the stars have answers.

We are currently in an era of conflict. Big heads with big influence are mucking things up, and making the mundane miserable. However, that doesn’t mean we have to be stuck here. There’s always a lesson from Aries season about choosing your battles, owning what is yours (even if it’s unflattering) and not letting the past hold you back.

New moons are new beginnings, plain and simple. This is the time to take steps toward a fresh, freeing, and more fabulous life. Finding the confidence to do so is the hard part. What’s a diva to do in a world where everything is measured by metrics: how much money you make, how many followers you have, how many friends show up to your birthday party, etc....

Screw that. Make your own metrics. Aries are, at their best, completely unbothered by what others think. Ideally, the Aries new moon will transform that competitive nature to become less about one-upping everyone else and more about rising to the standards we set for ourselves—and celebrating those who are able to overcome their own hurdles. This new moon is a reminder that, at the end of the day, the only person who is really holding you back is yourself.

Mars, the ruler of this new moon, has been stuck in Pisces for a while. That’s why you’re most likely rolling your eyes as you read this, thinking, “easier said than done.” Still, Mars moved into Aries a few days before this new moon—now that you’ve hibernated through a Pisces transit, are you ready to get things off to the races?

It’s going to be hard work. This is just the beginning of a marathon, but think about how great you will feel once you reach the finish line. That said, let’s be careful we don’t get too exuberant with our pacing. The rush of adrenaline before the race could have you pushing things too early, and depleted before you know it. The lesson here: have a plan in place before you start running.

As you move through this new moon, remember that Aries wants forward momentum. It doesn’t care about making mistakes, scraped knees, or running into bigger challenges down the road. Aries is fixated on how to progress in the present moment. If you know where you want to go, keep asking yourself: what can I do right now to help me get another step further? If you don’t know where you’re heading, start with what excites you—then read your rising sign horoscope below for extra insight.

Aries

This is your new moon! Think of it as a fresh start for yourself: who are you becoming? Perhaps now might be a good time to make sure your outer self reflects your inner self. Is there something you’ve realized about yourself over the past month that has caused you to spend more time wishing you were just letting it rip? Pay attention to patching up wounds to your ego; you might need to go through old diaries and the hallways of your mind to affirm how far you’ve come. Don’t rush your personal development, make sure you’re appreciative of how every step you’ve taken has shaped you.

Taurus

Which dream are you ready to pursue? Is there something coming to an end that is allowing you the time to put more effort into what you’ve been yearning after for so long? This new moon, though fiery, is slow—like losing track of time while gazing into the flames of a bonfire. Your subconscious is lit up at the moment, helping nudge you toward that pie-in-the-sky vision you have for yourself. You might also be realizing that it’s time to kick some toxic traits getting in the way of your forward momentum. Try something new: the intention can stay the same, but the execution could use a refresher so you don’t keep cycling through experiences over and over.

Gemini

Gemini, this Aries new moon has the potential to bring you closer to people who will shock your system (in a positive way!) and inspire you. The main question to ask is: “How is your community motivating you?” Are you finding that you’re surrounded by like-minded individuals who help keep your mind clear of negativity and encourage you to keep exploring? That said, it’s important that you are heading toward your goals with a clear and focused perspective, and not bounding around haphazardly. This doesn’t mean you should stop dabbling, just don’t let the new and shiny distract you. Try something risky—a leap of faith could serve you well right now.

Cancer

You might be feeling like it’s about high time you got your flowers. When is my moment to shine, to take up space, and to thank the Academy? Well, it’s now. You just need to figure out what it is you’d like to be recognized for. The Aries new moon is a highly positive one for you, especially if you are hoping to shift your career, cement yourself as an authority, or simply take on a more serious role in how the world sees you. No one else will sing your praises if you don’t put in the effort to be seen. But make sure you are recognizing the hard work you’ve been putting in, and not relying solely on someone else’s cheers.

Leo

New journeys are coming your way with the new moon. You might find that the world has been racing around you at 100 miles a minute (or even faster): constant twists and turns, nonstop movement from one place to the next. If you’re tired, you can sleep when you’re dead. All clichés aside, Aries energy is coming to open up your perspective. What have you learned about yourself and the world around you as you’ve been thrust from place to place? How far does the horizon stretch? The answer to that is how far your influence can reach, and how much potential there is for you to grow.

Virgo

Virgo, the Aries new moon is coming in like a 2014 pop anthem to help you “Break Free.” The universe has the majority of this month sending messages about your shadow self, doing deep psychological work, and considering the influence of others’ values on your way of life. If you haven’t already, this is a great time to establish some accountability practices. This will be an interesting moment for shared things—developing a new relationship with your worth as it relates to what others want will do you good. Don’t carry unnecessary baggage into this next phase of life.

Libra

The Aries new moon is the spark that lights the match on your relationships. And that match will either burn them to the ground, or help nurse the flames of a budding connection. Aries can be a bit conflict-prone, while you, dear Libra, would rather mediate (or avoid) the tension. So, are your relationships harmonious? Do you have clear boundaries in place? Are you waiting for a knight in shining armor to fight your battles for you, or will you step into your Joan of Arc era? Focus on values of others and how they might be influencing you. Harmony is something worth fighting for.

Scorpio

That warm spring air is blowing—and the breeze is helping clear the dust that’s settled on your life these past few months. The Aries new moon is a fresh start with your health, routines, work, and daily life. Perhaps you are starting a new job, or even setting the intention to find a position that is more in-tune with what you need. There might be a moment or two leading up to the new moon where you look in the mirror and think… wait, am I the problem? Daily, tangible, sustainable actions are the solution. Focus on hard work that challenges you to do something new, so you don’t fall back into the same-old cycle.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius! It is getting hot, hot, hot! Although the summer sun has not quite come up, the Aries new moon is lighting a fire in your heart. Start going after what you desire, and what will heal that inner child who wants to do it all. Starting new creative endeavors and hobbies will act as your canvas. The muse will come through a potential new romantic connection (or experience). Who knows, these creative pursuits could turn into financial pursuits as well. What a fabulous time to be reminded of the healing powers of play!

Capricorn

Emotions are heating up, and the Aries new moon is screaming through a megaphone like Glee’s Sue Sylvester, urging you to get it together. There may be conflict at home, something weighing on your heart, or an old emotional wound keeping you from slowing down. The Aries season push to go, go, go, is actually a call from the universe to go home. Deal with the tension, the pain, and the hurt. You can’t push it down—it’s time to face it head-on. Building a strong foundation to support all your external endeavors starts with the inner work, and it starts during this new moon.

Aquarius

Aquarius, the new moon is here to wake it up! Your mind is going to be racing with new ideas, plans, and perspectives on how you can speak your truth and move through the world with confidence. This is a great time to get into new forms of mental stimulation—something simple but exciting that adds a few more wrinkles to your brain. This could be an educational experience, light reading, or even tinkering with a new tool that will refine your skills. Ask yourself: what new resources do I need to support my own long-term stability?

Pisces

Oooooh Pisces, baby, this is a good one for you! It’s high time to put what you value at the forefront of your priorities list. This means auditing your resources (perhaps even a budget tracker is in order) and making sure what you put out aligns with what you want to bring in. Standing ten toes down and not letting someone else’s needs or wants sway what you invest your resources into is the lesson of the moment. Yes, it’s a confusing time, especially when it comes to making your desires a reality, but the good news is if you chip away at it consistently, you’ll have nothing to worry about.

We are already through the first quarter of 2026—can you believe it? Now that the astrological winter is over and spring is in full swing, it’s only natural that your energy will pick up, the wheels in your mind turning faster and faster. This month kicks off a full moon, inner planets moving from Pisces into Aries, and the last of the outer planets finally committing to their new sign after dancing around the change all of last year.

The theme of the month: Keep moving forward without exhausting yourself. While major astrological changes have been happening all year, this month solidifies your place in truly uncharted territory. It’s easy to get exhausted while navigating constant change, which is why this month is a perfect moment to connect with your energy levels. What sort of physical, emotional, and spiritual exertion is necessary to keep yourself grounded?

On April 1, the Libra full moon kicks off the month with a reminder that some tension can be a good thing every now and then. There is an Aries stellium opposite the moon, so there’s definitely some tightness in the air. That’s okay, because conflict is what challenges us to grow. But this moment is all about finding the right amount of tension so we don’t break under the pressure. What brings peace, justice, harmony? What needs to be faced head-on for the sake of long-term stability?

On April 9, Mars enters Aries, which means Mars is home! Things are about to heat up—that slump, that sluggishness, the multiple cups of coffee or two-hour nap to get through the day, all of that is over. Spring has officially sprung and the Energizer Bunny within all of us is letting loose. In the early days of this transit, Mars passes over Saturn and Neptune, so it’s important to pace yourself.

On April 15, Mercury enters Aries; another firecracker of a transit is upon us. The mind will start catching up with the body, and your inner urge to just go for it will be backed by adrenaline. This is a great time for affirmations and embracing a warrior mentality. How can you focus on the good fight? Mercury is also conjunct with Neptune and Saturn, marking a moment to get serious about how your dreams are going to become a reality. It’ll be important to not let yourself get discouraged too quickly and burn out.

On April 17, the Aries new moon brings a bold refresh. Healing inside and bravely affirming the fresh spring energy is the main lesson at the moment. You should get ready for a new era to begin. Find the confidence to be bold and kick-start new endeavors, but remember to remain strategic enough to know that a strong base is necessary to keep the fire burning. Aries wants us to take action and be fearless about the direction you are heading. So what are you waiting for?

On April 20, Taurus season starts—the period of the bull is upon us! After blazing through Aries season, we can either let the shift to Taurus stop us in our tracks and grab a long nap in the park, or we can take stock of how we’ve been navigating the past four weeks. Consider how you use your resources on the things that matter most. Put effort into creative projects, stabilize your self-worth (celebrate the little wins from Aries season!) and get your money right. Stick to your core values and the rest will come naturally.

On April 24, Venus enters Gemini. The shift from Taurus to Gemini indicates that you know what you want—how about seeing what options are out there? If you love blue blouses, how many different styles can you try before you buy? If you love a rugged rugby player look, perhaps flirting with the entire team before settling down with one player could spark some inspiration. Venus in Gemini allows for a freeness when it comes to how we create beautiful things and connect with beautiful people. Have fun with it.

On April 26, Uranus re-enters Gemini. This one is a biggie. Uranus is the last of the outer planets to cement itself in a new sign. After spending nearly a decade in Taurus (and giving us a taste of its Gemini flair last summer) the planet of innovation and radical action moves into the sign of communication, duality, and flexibility. Expect more tech crazes, social discourse, and alternative media sources, but less rigid social norms.

Aries

April is your time to take center stage. It’s all about you...for the most part, but don’t let your ego get too big. Who are you? Where are you going? Self-starting is key, which is typically easy for the naturally ambitious like yourself. If something sparks your interest, go for it. You might need to reflect on relationships and how you communicate with others. Exploring boundaries with yourself and others is good to keep top of mind. That said, make sure you aren’t overdoing it. I know how Aries can be: excitable! Let passion guide you, but don’t forget to take care of yourself as you go.

Taurus

Taurus, the first half of the month will feel a bit sluggish. You’ll continue making efforts to shed your skin so you can step into your season with gusto. Once your motivation picks up toward the end of the month, what will you leave behind? Embrace your yearly fresh start—is there anything you are simply tired of holding on to? What are you learning about yourself along the way? Change is good, and for you that means changing up your routine so that it celebrates and supports your most earnest desires. Taurus season will be a much-needed refresher to boost your sense of self.

Gemini

This month has you coming out of a Mercury retrograde slump, Gemini. You could still be feeling its lingering effects, so perhaps there is a piece of you that is resisting the lessons you’ve learned. That said, when Mercury changes signs mid-month, you’ll be able to confidently move through the world without feeling topsy-turvy. The end of the month is really when things kick off. With Uranus and Venus moving into Gemini, you’ll get a big boost for your sense of self and the change you’ve been feeling coming toward you. Get ready, because a fresh, free, and fantastic new you is about to emerge.

Cancer

You’re entering your cosmic winter. I know, I know—it is spring, but you still might be feeling a sense longing and letting go. Perhaps this month is met with some mourning of an experience, a dream, or a path you’ve been following for a while. Balancing the public and personal is important right now. Make sure you keep up with your obligations and rest and recover when you need to. Overall, this is a great time to think about where you are going. What you are fighting for? Keep going after it, but don’t overdo it.

Leo

During April, your bubbly outlook on life is coming back. You’ve done the deep work, and now you’re able to appreciate the journey you’re on with a fresh perspective. The bright horizon waiting for you might feel like a nudge toward some foreign travel, high education, or anything that pushes your perspective. Now is a great time for you to make a plan for how you want to step out of your comfort zone. What is the next big adventure you are ready to go on? Where do you want to see yourself in a year? Take charge of your direction and be confident in whatever path you choose. You don’t have to have it all figured out, just be consistent about finding the answers.

Virgo

This month will have you off to the races. You are in a season of connections with others—and your deeper self. Transformation is at the heart of April, plus making sure that your inner world becomes a reflection of where you are heading in the outer world. With Uranus approaching your house of career, you can expect that, after April, you will start seeing some massive changes in your life’s direction. Use the next four weeks to consider where you can be supported by others, and how you can shift your attitude to focus on your capabilities. There’s an urge to finally commit to a dream career path and carving out new roads to get you there.

Libra

Libra, April kicks off with a full moon in your sign: a cosmic reminder of who you are. That said, transformation, shared finances, and new adventures are all important influences this month. April is a moment for you to look outward at what is influencing your inner self. There’s plenty of potential for new relationships, but also new boundaries being set in case there is any tension. Perhaps some tough love is what you need to ease the tension and get yourself back on track. Let yourself really embrace the power of people, and understand how those who surround you influence you.

Scorpio

Throughout April, considering your daily routine and relationships will be most important. You might have a bit more pep in your step, a new project that is motivating you, or even a personal goal to keep you consistent. Or, perhaps, you might be inching closer to a crash-out if you aren’t keeping up with routines. We aren’t looking for a quick fix, a dash of gasoline over the fire—this month is about keeping the momentum moving forward. That said, you might need to rely on your most trusted relationships in order to get your mind and body right.

Sagittarius

Celebrate the good times, and keep joy alive this month! Joy is imperative for survival, and building a consistent creative and passion-based routine is part of what keeps the joy in a constant flow. However, we don’t want to overdo it or fall back into quick-fix passion projects that never fully satisfy your itch. Stop chasing the dopamine kick and let your nervous system guide you toward a regulated way to indulge in pleasure. Some new relationships could pop up toward the end of the month as well, so be on the lookout for inspiring individuals.

Capricorn

Capricorn, your question for April: What have I learned about my inner world? Are you realizing new ways to express your emotions? Or making restoration a priority? Is the child within you itching to take charge and take your adult self on a much-needed recovery day (or week?) This is a bit of an accountability month. Do regular check-ins to see if you’re actually following through with what your inner world is asking of you. Remember that relaxation and play time are also healthy ways to make progress.

Aquarius

It’s time! April is the month Uranus finally shifts out of Taurus and into Gemini. This is the end of an era. No longer are you struggling to keep up with an influx of emotional changes. Uranus moving signs is like a gust of wind on a spring day, helping clear off all the dust from the counters. You’ll find it’s a lot easier to have fun and explore your passions over the next four weeks. And the good news is that the buildup to this shift will be filled with plenty of ideas on how to occupy your time and keep the fire in your heart burning.

Pisces

This will be a month of shifts. All the planets that were once in your sign are officially on their way out. But that change should give you more confidence to affirm who you are and your capabilities. You’ll notice over the month that your material world will get a nice boost in activity. The spring flowers are blooming—and so is your pocketbook. This is a physical manifestation of all the inner work you’ve done and how far you’ve come. That said, take some time to make sure you aren’t burning through your resources. A teeny bit of structure and restraint could take you a long way.

A full moon at the beginning of the month seems like some sort of cosmic gag. But in reality, this April Fools’ Libra full moon is not joking around.

A quick refresher: full moons are a celestial cleanse. All your issues and anxieties have piled up, and are sitting in the middle of your bedroom, (much like that mountain of clean/dirty laundry...) ready for you to face them. Think of the moon as a symbol of your subconscious: her brightness is shining a spotlight on a particular situation that needs resolution.

Libra is all about relationships, compromise, balance, and harmonizing. Libra transits encourage us to weigh the options (without falling into a trap of indecision) to make sure that, whatever the outcome, you’ve considered all sides.

That said, Libra can be a sneaky little diva—acting coy, as though they’re unsure what they want; or using charm to mask their true desires. Sometimes the sign of relationships and compromise can let the scales tip too far in one direction or another.

Still, being peace-loving and compromising is a great lesson to learn during this period. Ask yourself: who does it benefit to pass off responsibilities to others, or to let your desires stay on the back burner? The answer is no one.

During the full moon on April 1, over half of the planets are (generally) opposite the moon. So there is almost no way to be avoidant or indecisive. It’s quite literally time to stand ten toes down, and find a way to some sort of equilibrium. The moon, which represents what we need, is screaming at us to take a chill pill. Perhaps you’re feeling a bit volcanic at the moment, like you’re living off balance.

Unlike their sister Aries, Libra can tend to pass responsibility onto others. With two generational giants—the sun, and a wound-healing asteroid—in Aries right now, it’s almost as if the stars are saying “You got yourself into this situation, so you’re going to have to get yourself out of it.”

It’s time for you to decide what you need (and who can help you) to find peace. Not making a final decision relieves a bit of the tension, but if you’re trying to find the most harmonious option, how will you grow?

Don’t get avoidant, but remember that not every battle is worth fighting. One of Libra’s strongest qualities is their ability to mediate among the chaos, so focus on what’s stirring up the drama and go after the most significant conflicts rather than getting caught up in the petty BS.

And while my homework for you is to make decisions for yourself, that doesn’t mean you have to go at it alone. This is a Libra transit, after all, so relationships will be playing a significant role in this cosmic narrative.

With the ruler of the moon, Venus, in Taurus, there’s a hope that any tension will end in a rational, honest, and supportive conclusion. Venus is making it very clear what we value, what we desire, and the tangible ways to make that not just a reality, but a priority. However, Pluto (in Aquarius) is menacingly wagging its finger, saying “nuh-uh, honey.” The Venus-Pluto square is a reminder that sometimes, what you want isn’t what you need. Keep in mind that if it makes you feel comfortable right now, it might not be what is best for you in the long run.

As you approach this full moon, remember that some conflict is okay. Healthy confrontation and conversation allows us to grow. What is a hard but necessary action? Is there something that feels as though it would be farfetched, but it’s necessary for your long-term happiness? Are you obsessed with doing the “right thing” so much that you are constantly weighing options without actually doing the damn thing? And if you’re saying “Cole, it’s not that easy,” girl, I know it isn’t! I too get stuck constantly questioning and overanalyzing any given outcome!

For some extra guidance, your personalized horoscope will give you a framework to reflect and move forward from the Libra full moon. I wish you all the best!

Aries

This full moon is a relationship release! The pressure to perform is lifting, and you are inches away from just letting it all flow. But in order for you to realize what course of action you must take, you might endure a bit of conflict that forces you to reflect on what really matters. There could be some confusion about who is working with or against you, and it’s essential to ask yourself which relationships are worth fighting for. Ask yourself, “is it worth it?” before you start popping off on someone with whom you disagree.

Taurus

Have things felt a bit topsy-turvy recently? Are you feeling out of whack and need to find your balance? The focus of the full moon is to smooth out your wants, needs, and obligations. This means trusting your circadian rhythm to create consistent daily rituals that cause more harmony and less hellishness. The mundane is where the answers lie! Spend some time spring cleaning your daily life. Dust off that calendar, habit tracker, or to-do list to help you home in on what is burning you out—and what is bringing you peace.

Gemini

Do you want it? You’re dying for it! What is that “it” you’re yearning for right now? Voicing your desires and going after them is a bit of a balancing act—we don’t want to come off selfish. But it’s your life, so do what you want. Who cares if the haters are chirpin’? Let’s also make sure that we are working with long-term pleasure over those fleeting dopamine spikes. Mercury is fresh off a retrograde, so if you’ve been a little overindulgent, maybe it’s time to remember moderation and consistency is key.

Cancer

Right now, you’re probably itching for a way to find inner peace. There’s probably a lot going on at work and home that keeps pushing your buttons. The best thing to do at this moment would be to reflect on what you need to devote more time to your inner world. The external experiences are great and all, but if you are rushing through life, you might find that you are lacking the necessary support systems to navigate the stillness. Make sure there’s some system in place to rest and recover.

Leo

Are you feeling a bit wired at the moment? Perhaps you’re noticing the big, bad world has you overstimulated? Now’s a good time to make sure you check what you’re consuming. Balance out your (very important!) news consumption with a little hopecore. Additionally, it might be time to strip down and reconnect with a local space rather than putting so much focus on the large-scale. It’s good to have the big picture in mind, but every picture has finer details that need appreciating. Zero in on what messages aid your mental well-being, and put rage at bay.

Virgo

At the current moment, your task is to consider whether you’re staying true to your desires amid all this transformation. Putting your values at the forefront is hard, especially when you have such an affinity for helping others. What will help you realize when someone else’s narrative is sweeping in? By holding true to yourself, your money will also get a nice refresh—possibly in the form of a surprise $20 you find on the ground, or a more thoughtful budget tracker to make sure what you spend is what you care about.

Libra

Libra, diva—who are you fighting? Yourself? And for what reason? Right now is the moment to shed someone else’s baggage. This will help you show up as your best self. What is happening in your relationships that allows you to take more time to reflect on who you are? Are you holding onto someone else’s idea of your identity? This is your full moon. So make sure you put yourself as the main priority, even if it ruffles some feathers.

Scorpio

Is it time for a vacation? A spa day? A deep-tissue massage and seven hours in the sauna? Perhaps even 20 minutes of more sleep would change the trajectory of your day. The full moon is helping you tap into your subconscious so you can take a more critical look at your routine. You might be fighting with yourself by holding onto a habit or responsibility, but deep down you know something’s gotta give. What is the inner routine that helps balance all of the outer experiences?

Sagittarius

Let’s take a moment and reflect on what you’re working toward. I’m not just talking about the short-term goals, but your aspirations that are multiple years down the line. Now is a perfect time to rediscover where your arrowing is pointing—and who will help you chase after it once you let it fly! Find your people and the rest will be a cake walk. Consider the power of shared passions, and how the people you surround yourself with boost each other up. Use what you know about what keeps your fire alive to help inspire others.

Capricorn

I’m curious if the push to your outer world and pull to go inward is becoming a bit much right now? Aries season should have you motivated to make your emotional core and home a priority, but the Libra full moon is checking you’re still balancing those external aspirations. Perhaps there’s some sort of emotional tension that needs addressing. Is the path you’re heading down what you need when you’re resting or relaxing? What about the professional goals you’ve laid out for yourself? Find the path that has the most middle ground.

Aquarius

What’s going on in your mind at the moment? Are you overwhelmed by a swell of new ideas or information coming your way? Is this a good time to reassess what you believe in, and what you know to be true? Your perspectives are shifting, so before you commit to one idea or belief system, make sure to do your research. If you’re finishing up an academic endeavor, let this be a moment where you review your notes and progress. Remember to leave no stone unturned and continue to stay curious!

Pisces

Pisces, it’s time to release whatever is tipping the scales financially. This is probably some sort of commitment you’ve made involving someone else. Assess whether or not it’s symbiotic. If not, ask yourself: “How can I bring this back to center?” Additionally, you can expect some a ha moments within your psyche. Is there anyone or anything (and this could be your own inner saboteur, mind you) that is keeping you stuck in the past? Sometimes it’s not about running from your shadows, but learning how to live with them.
