Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
April 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
There is special emphasis on communicating, connecting, and learning this month, dear Aquarius, and your sector of home and family is also gaining importance. You're curious, sharing more, making contacts and connections, learning new skills, and discovering or indulging personal interests.
It can be a good time for news or information that positively redirects you. New ways of communicating, connecting, and getting around can open up for you. Your mind is more willing, open, and curious than ever, and you might gain a new appreciation for things in your daily life that didn't pop for you in the past. Others appreciate your writing, insight, work, or advice. You gravitate to information that brings benefits to your life.
You're also inspired to step up your daily routines, work, and health programs in April, and you feel in charge of these areas. Problems can certainly rise to the surface, but as they do, you're ready to handle them and clear the air. You'll acknowledge if there have been difficulties with workload or excessive demands on you. You're also stopping at nothing to improve on past performance. You tend to want to set your own pace and goals, thriving on the challenges you create for yourself now.
Make the most of this energy by tidying your life, starting with the small things. Aim to eliminate clutter and waste that interferes with your work and health pursuits.
A potential issue this month is nervous tension, as you can have so much on your plate and so many projects going on that it can be difficult to truly rest your mind and body. There can be multiple visits, messages, short trips, and errands. While you're rarely bored, you need some downtime.
The Full Moon on the 6th can remind you of the importance of emotional or mental refreshment. You can experience a sudden desire to depart from your usual routine or do/learn something refreshing, meaningful, and life-affirming. With quite a bit of recent attention to your daily or mundane affairs, you now feel an immense desire to think and live bigger! It becomes apparent to you that you need to find the time to fit extracurricular activities into your day.
There can be a lot to talk about, discuss, and sort through with and about family, home matters, and loved ones. It's a busy time in the home.
The Solar Eclipse on the 20th is the first of a set of eclipses that span two years and activate an axis of your chart ruling your connections, learning about the world around you, getting out and about, and reaching out to others. These things are beginning to evolve, and this eclipse gets the ball rolling. This eclipse reiterates the theme of last month's New Moon but with more urgency. A learning path or project, a style of communication, or even a method of transportation, may end to make way for a new beginning. It's a time for new and improved ways of communicating and commuting! In the coming weeks and even months, you could find new opportunities for learning and sharing or avenues for self-expression.
Venus moves into your creative, expressive solar fifth house on the 11th, but your home life still holds much appeal. Life settles down somewhat in the last week of the month when home, family, and the comfort of familiar activities occupy more of your time and attention.
There are treasures to find in the past, particularly after the 21st when Mercury turns retrograde. Some projects or ideas may go on a shelf. Delays are possible, and pacing yourself makes sense now.
But this doesn't stop you from discovering ways to improve, grow, and learn. A central theme in your life is about developing your sense of security, attachments to family, and home life. You have more faith in your emotional life and the ability to grow through your experiences. Paying special attention to your house, job, routine, health, and self-care programs can bring rewards, especially if you're putting a new spin on these things.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
April 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 20th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From April 20th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Eclipses
A Solar Eclipse occurs on April 20th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar third house, suggesting a new approach to communications projects, learning, or self-expression.
A new position in the neighborhood, relocation, or increased interaction with others may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle your daily activities.
This is a phase in which you have an increased awareness of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until April 10th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From April 11th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From April 3rd forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
April 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 10th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 13th:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
From April 14th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
April 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From April 10th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
From the 2-28:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
From April 28th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger.

Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
This month:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
Overview Horoscope:
April 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
There is special emphasis on communicating, connecting, and learning this month, dear Aquarius, and your sector of home and family is also gaining importance. You're curious, sharing more, making contacts and connections, learning new skills, and discovering or indulging personal interests.
It can be a good time for news or information that positively redirects you. New ways of communicating, connecting, and getting around can open up for you. Your mind is more willing, open, and curious than ever, and you might gain a new appreciation for things in your daily life that didn't pop for you in the past. Others appreciate your writing, insight, work, or advice. You gravitate to information that brings benefits to your life.
You're also inspired to step up your daily routines, work, and health programs in April, and you feel in charge of these areas. Problems can certainly rise to the surface, but as they do, you're ready to handle them and clear the air. You'll acknowledge if there have been difficulties with workload or excessive demands on you. You're also stopping at nothing to improve on past performance. You tend to want to set your own pace and goals, thriving on the challenges you create for yourself now.
Make the most of this energy by tidying your life, starting with the small things. Aim to eliminate clutter and waste that interferes with your work and health pursuits.
A potential issue this month is nervous tension, as you can have so much on your plate and so many projects going on that it can be difficult to truly rest your mind and body. There can be multiple visits, messages, short trips, and errands. While you're rarely bored, you need some downtime.
The Full Moon on the 6th can remind you of the importance of emotional or mental refreshment. You can experience a sudden desire to depart from your usual routine or do/learn something refreshing, meaningful, and life-affirming. With quite a bit of recent attention to your daily or mundane affairs, you now feel an immense desire to think and live bigger! It becomes apparent to you that you need to find the time to fit extracurricular activities into your day.
There can be a lot to talk about, discuss, and sort through with and about family, home matters, and loved ones. It's a busy time in the home.
The Solar Eclipse on the 20th is the first of a set of eclipses that span two years and activate an axis of your chart ruling your connections, learning about the world around you, getting out and about, and reaching out to others. These things are beginning to evolve, and this eclipse gets the ball rolling. This eclipse reiterates the theme of last month's New Moon but with more urgency. A learning path or project, a style of communication, or even a method of transportation, may end to make way for a new beginning. It's a time for new and improved ways of communicating and commuting! In the coming weeks and even months, you could find new opportunities for learning and sharing or avenues for self-expression.
Venus moves into your creative, expressive solar fifth house on the 11th, but your home life still holds much appeal. Life settles down somewhat in the last week of the month when home, family, and the comfort of familiar activities occupy more of your time and attention.
There are treasures to find in the past, particularly after the 21st when Mercury turns retrograde. Some projects or ideas may go on a shelf. Delays are possible, and pacing yourself makes sense now.
But this doesn't stop you from discovering ways to improve, grow, and learn. A central theme in your life is about developing your sense of security, attachments to family, and home life. You have more faith in your emotional life and the ability to grow through your experiences. Paying special attention to your house, job, routine, health, and self-care programs can bring rewards, especially if you're putting a new spin on these things.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
