Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
April 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
It's your month to shine, dear Aries, as it's a good time for personal influence and general vitality. You are magnetic when it comes to sharing ideas, reaching out, and communicating. The pace is quick with learning environments, communications, and daily life. It can certainly be hectic at times, but you're up for the challenge.
Mainly from the 6-16, you are super motivated to learn, share your ideas, and put effort into mental pursuits. Watch for a tendency to make a quick judgment or react too quickly when firing back an email or text. Try to respond to frustrations with more deliberation and from a place of calm, which is admittedly hard to do at times this month. Mercury in your sign from the 4-19 is in mutual reception with Mars, your planetary ruler, giving these planets more power and strength. You can communicate exceptionally well and effectively, or you're learning exciting things.
Your voice is strong most of April. While you can feel heard and have influence, it also means you have more impact, and the words you use can be remembered for a long time. Others are noticing and hearing you--you're shining and feeling more in control of your life, particularly with your image, presentation, and personality.
The desire to connect or create something beautiful or unique is compelling in the first half of the month. On the 5-6, Venus in your own sign harmonizes with Mars, your ruler. Personal appeal is super, and you can be charmingly forthright, sincere, and straightforward with your requests and communications. People are falling in love with your unique style, and you manage to be both assertive and charming. Attempts to reach out to someone can be very successful. It's a powerful time for connecting with others in creative ways, and your magnetism is excellent.
Your ideas are original and progressive, and they excite and motivate you. It's easier than usual to gravitate towards what your heart wants. You benefit from cooperative and forward-looking energy. You may be focusing on a new direction, and you enjoy solving problems or simply looking past flaws and challenges to good times ahead of you.
Still, managing your expectations is important, and you might need to go over a small hump, likely due to plans that fail to materialize. There can be some confusion about something you hear or regarding communications, transportation, or learning around the 9th. If you've been ignoring your needs to escape or rest, or to indulge your imagination, then you might take a cue to fill your life more fully and seek out a better balance.
The New Moon on the 11th is in your sign, bringing vital energy for new starts. Aim to begin your solar year with confidence and mindfulness. In the week following the New Moon, you may decide to start important projects. Your initiative and independence are in the spotlight now.
There can be more enjoyment or excitement with friends or networks this month. You may be moving a communications project forward, and you can be incredibly enthusiastic about your current interests. You're making your luck as you take the initiative. It's a fine time for new and enterprising projects--you're pioneering. You might come up with an idea for a new and exciting venture.
You take more interest in settling in or building upon your current resources as the month advances. The Sun and Mercury moving into your sector of money, natural talents, and self-worth on the 19th stimulate a desire to build up your reservoir, improve your bottom line, and develop what you already have.
Venus moves into this same sector on the 14th, and you more fully enjoy attending to your projects and things. You are approaching money and possessions differently, and your tastes are changing. You might decide to make an exciting or unusual purchase or to indulge in something unconventional. There can be discoveries along financial lines, and breakthrough thinking about money or business can figure strongly. This can also be an excellent time for new insights about emotional and personal matters, home, family, and the past.
From the 23rd, home life grabs more of your attention. You might actively work through problem areas and improve family relationships. You can feel energetic and enthusiastic about such things as decorating, organizing your home, going on outings with family, or fixing problem areas in your personal life.
The Full Moon on the 26th opens your eyes to an intimate, financial, ownership, or dependency matter. A sense that you have to work through obstacles or work hard to achieve your goals is possible now. At the same time, with Pluto turning retrograde the next day, you may be learning of areas where you've been over-attached, worried, obsessed, or a bit paranoid. The coming months are excellent for reworking career and planning initiatives, doing the research and legwork, and refining projects.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
April 2021 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 19th:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From April 20th forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until April 14th:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From April 14th forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 3rd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Until April 4-19:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
From April 19th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 23rd:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 23rd onward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

April 2021 Career, & General Trends
April 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

Aries (Born April 11 to 20)
AND Aries Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
April 2021 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From April 10th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until April 6th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From April 6th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 14th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From April 14-28:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
From April 29th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 6th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From April 7th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Overview Horoscope:
April 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
It's your month to shine, dear Aries, as it's a good time for personal influence and general vitality. You are magnetic when it comes to sharing ideas, reaching out, and communicating. The pace is quick with learning environments, communications, and daily life. It can certainly be hectic at times, but you're up for the challenge.
Mainly from the 6-16, you are super motivated to learn, share your ideas, and put effort into mental pursuits. Watch for a tendency to make a quick judgment or react too quickly when firing back an email or text. Try to respond to frustrations with more deliberation and from a place of calm, which is admittedly hard to do at times this month. Mercury in your sign from the 4-19 is in mutual reception with Mars, your planetary ruler, giving these planets more power and strength. You can communicate exceptionally well and effectively, or you're learning exciting things.
Your voice is strong most of April. While you can feel heard and have influence, it also means you have more impact, and the words you use can be remembered for a long time. Others are noticing and hearing you--you're shining and feeling more in control of your life, particularly with your image, presentation, and personality.
The desire to connect or create something beautiful or unique is compelling in the first half of the month. On the 5-6, Venus in your own sign harmonizes with Mars, your ruler. Personal appeal is super, and you can be charmingly forthright, sincere, and straightforward with your requests and communications. People are falling in love with your unique style, and you manage to be both assertive and charming. Attempts to reach out to someone can be very successful. It's a powerful time for connecting with others in creative ways, and your magnetism is excellent.
Your ideas are original and progressive, and they excite and motivate you. It's easier than usual to gravitate towards what your heart wants. You benefit from cooperative and forward-looking energy. You may be focusing on a new direction, and you enjoy solving problems or simply looking past flaws and challenges to good times ahead of you.
Still, managing your expectations is important, and you might need to go over a small hump, likely due to plans that fail to materialize. There can be some confusion about something you hear or regarding communications, transportation, or learning around the 9th. If you've been ignoring your needs to escape or rest, or to indulge your imagination, then you might take a cue to fill your life more fully and seek out a better balance.
The New Moon on the 11th is in your sign, bringing vital energy for new starts. Aim to begin your solar year with confidence and mindfulness. In the week following the New Moon, you may decide to start important projects. Your initiative and independence are in the spotlight now.
There can be more enjoyment or excitement with friends or networks this month. You may be moving a communications project forward, and you can be incredibly enthusiastic about your current interests. You're making your luck as you take the initiative. It's a fine time for new and enterprising projects--you're pioneering. You might come up with an idea for a new and exciting venture.
You take more interest in settling in or building upon your current resources as the month advances. The Sun and Mercury moving into your sector of money, natural talents, and self-worth on the 19th stimulate a desire to build up your reservoir, improve your bottom line, and develop what you already have.
Venus moves into this same sector on the 14th, and you more fully enjoy attending to your projects and things. You are approaching money and possessions differently, and your tastes are changing. You might decide to make an exciting or unusual purchase or to indulge in something unconventional. There can be discoveries along financial lines, and breakthrough thinking about money or business can figure strongly. This can also be an excellent time for new insights about emotional and personal matters, home, family, and the past.
From the 23rd, home life grabs more of your attention. You might actively work through problem areas and improve family relationships. You can feel energetic and enthusiastic about such things as decorating, organizing your home, going on outings with family, or fixing problem areas in your personal life.
The Full Moon on the 26th opens your eyes to an intimate, financial, ownership, or dependency matter. A sense that you have to work through obstacles or work hard to achieve your goals is possible now. At the same time, with Pluto turning retrograde the next day, you may be learning of areas where you've been over-attached, worried, obsessed, or a bit paranoid. The coming months are excellent for reworking career and planning initiatives, doing the research and legwork, and refining projects.

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 fifth 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.
