April Horoscopes

By: Deborah Augustin, Senior

Aries (March 21, April 19):

Aries is a fire sign that is ruled by Mars. The independent and passionate Aries can expect a new burst of creativity that will enable them to communicate their emotions more clearly in the month of May. This influx of inspiration shouldn't be taken lightly, however, for it can lead to financial success if monetary endeavors are matched with determination. Thus, sharpening skills like time management should be a priority, though it may appear challenging for this fiery and impatient sign. 

Taurus (April 20- May 20): ​

Taurus (April 20- May 20): Taurus is an earth sign that is ruled by Venus. The rational and stubborn Taurus should take a moment to wind down and focus on self-care during the month of April. As the testing season and final marking period approaches, this studious and steadfast sign should be cautious of over-studying and should take time to de-stress.

Gemini (May 21, June 20):

Gemini is an air sign ruled by Mercury. The playful and curious Gemini should focus on intellectual pursuits during the month of April, especially as the final grading period rolls around. By redirecting their energy from social affairs to academic matters, this sign will achieve a lot of success if they execute this correctly.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): ​

Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon. The sensitive and intuitive cancer should steer clear of any relationship drama in the month of April, whether it concerns romantic or platonic partnerships. Melodrama is especially unnecessary considering that the last thing Cancer needs amidst the testing season is to fall victim to the excitement of a “he said-she said”. 

Leo (July 23- August 22):

Leo is a fire sign ruled by the Sun. The proud and confident Leo should focus on helping others. Whether that be in an emotional or physical way, this sign will find a lot of personal fulfillment by completing an act of service for someone in need. Examples include volunteering after school or a simple act of kindness like holding the door for a friend.

Virgo (August 23-September 21):

Virgo is an earth sign ruled by the planet Mercury. The intellectual and conscientious Virgo should try to curb their passion for perfectionism during the month of April. While a sharp eye for detail and facts is always useful in a school setting, it can strain emotional relationships both internally and externally. Virgos should be wary of dwelling over trivial mistakes, since they may add an unnecessary burden to their already busy lives this month.

Libra (September 22- October 23): ​

Libra is an air sign ruled by Venus. The charming and indecisive Libra should focus on self reflection in the month of April. As the school year slowly winds down, Libras should look back at how much they have grown emotionally and intellectually. The past eight months of the school year have been full of challenges that they have inevitably overcome. These series of trial and error deserve recognition, and any mistakes should not be scrutinized, but used to improve their life in the future. 

Scorpio (October 24- November 21):

Scorpio is a water sign ruled by Mars. The mysterious and dynamic Scorpio should focus on improving their self expression in the month of April. Suppressing emotions or refusing to address them only creates greater problems in future relationships, so they should take necessary steps in voicing their opinions. Talking to a person isn’t the only option; these feelings or musings can be expressed through writing, drawing, or even singing. 

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21):

Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by Saturn. The ambitious and practical Capricorn should focus on being more open minded in the month of April. When failing to see the bigger picture, intentions can easily be misunderstood and conclusions can be drawn from thin air. This only tangles the web and increases confusion in all situations ranging from a soured friendship to complex math problems. Take a step back and try to see things from another perspective this month.

Aquarius is an air sign ruled by Uranus. The eccentric and spontaneous Aquarius should focus on being more interested in the affairs of their future. The future is rapidly approaching, whether that means going off to college or going from a freshman to a sophomore. However, when a person refuses to move past things that have already happened, one can create feelings of resentment or embarrassment, which are no good for improving future endeavors.

 Pisces (February 19- March 20): ​

Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune. The imaginative and introspective Pisces should focus on organizing their mental and physical spaces in the month of April.

The skill of coordinating and managing things like time and personal responsibilities like homework and school supplies. Coordination and time management will be necessary for the rest of your academic and professional careers. Old habits may die hard, but conquering them will make life more manageable.
