Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
April 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
While you're sure to get attention this month, dear Aries, there is some sense of holding back as the month advances. The month begins with a New Moon in your sign, symbolizing a fresh start and new beginnings. Still, Venus enters your soul sector on the 5th, and Mars, your planetary ruler, does the same on the 14th. You might need some sort of a sabbatical with major decisions, in general, and perhaps relationships. Creative pursuits can thrive if you're doing something behind the scenes or on the last stretch of a particular project. Money matters are increasingly making headlines.
The New Moon in your sign on the 1st puts personal power in your hands, and it occurs around the time of a healing, problem-solving Sun-Mercury-Chiron connection. It stirs a whole new orientation, a blast of personal energy, and a sense that you're revving up. It's also a beautiful time for self-honesty.
You're inclined to connect with what you truly want from your life and where improvements can be made, particularly how you approach the world, take the lead, and present yourself. Your natural talents, the areas where you shine, and your savvy are readily discoverable and perhaps on display. Mercury is in Aries until the 10th, and you want to be heard and share your thoughts.
You're considerably more engaged and ready to make things happen. Others notice and hear you loud and clear as you begin the month. It's a time for really shining and feeling more in control of your life personally. Aim to start your solar year with confidence and mindfulness. In the week following the New Moon, you may decide to begin key projects.
Even so, while you begin the month quite active with friends and groups, two key planets, Venus and Mars, move out of your social sector and into your hidden sector on the 5th and 14th. There's some need to pull back from overly demanding and competitive situations, and perhaps people. Your perceptions heighten, and you're learning important things about your inner world, most profound needs, and loved ones. You could be contemplating and perhaps hesitating with affections and feelings. It's healthy and natural as Venus closes out a cycle, and you prepare for a new one in early May, when Venus enters your sign. In the meantime, undercover feelings could be in focus, or there's a tendency to look behind you before starting anew.
Jupiter is in your privacy sector, too, reinforcing the personal, private, and inward focus that often dominates the month's energies. While you could be wrestling with some decisions, you can, in fact, be a real dynamo with a bit of extra solitude and time to yourself.
If you've been overdoing special interests or your social life, a Mars-Saturn alignment on the 4th can remind you to slow down. Considering your limits is wise. A Jupiter-Neptune alignment on the 12th colors the month with quite a bit of imagination, however. There can be an increasing feeling of spiritual protection, spirituality, heightened intuition, and understanding. Your dreaming world is active, and your faith in the unknown strengthens. Rewards for past good deeds or projects can emerge, or events expand your innate compassion, warmth, or inner eye. There can be hidden or elusive elements to your communications, interests, and studies.
Pay special attention to what others reveal around the 16th when a Full Moon occurs in your partnership sector.
The Sun and Mercury move into your sector of resources, natural talents, and self-worth on the 19th and 10th, respectively. These shifts stir a desire to build up your resources, improve your bottom line, and develop what you already have.
Pluto turns retrograde on the 29th, and 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. It can initially magnify work and reputation problems, but going forward, some of the pressure you've been feeling to perform is moved to the backseat. This is likely to feel good for those who've been a little bogged down recently.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on the 30th in your solar second house, prompting new directions with money and things. You could bring your recent ideas and endeavors to life and build or develop these projects. You're moving towards a more patient and moderate approach to life that truly works for you.
You might free yourself from a burden or unhealthy attachment, or there can be forgiveness and understanding that help you move on and embrace your future. With Jupiter soon entering your sign, now is the time to clear the path for new beginnings.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
April 2022 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2022
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 5th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From April 5th:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 10th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
From April 11-29:
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.
From April 30th forward:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
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, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 14th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From April 15th forward:
With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing!
It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself.
Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10)
AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
April 2022 Career, & General Trends
April 2022
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until April 14th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From the 1-15:
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 the 16th:
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 28th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

Aries (Born April 11 to 20)
AND Aries Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
April 2022 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2022
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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 23rd:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From April 23rd forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors.

Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 6th:
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 6-21:
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.

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 21st 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
From the 1st forward:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

While you're sure to get attention this month, dear Aries, there is some sense of holding back as the month advances. The month begins with a New Moon in your sign, symbolizing a fresh start and new beginnings. Still, Venus enters your soul sector on the 5th, and Mars, your planetary ruler, does the same on the 14th. You might need some sort of a sabbatical with major decisions, in general, and perhaps relationships. Creative pursuits can thrive if you're doing something behind the scenes or on the last stretch of a particular project. Money matters are increasingly making headlines.
The New Moon in your sign on the 1st puts personal power in your hands, and it occurs around the time of a healing, problem-solving Sun-Mercury-Chiron connection. It stirs a whole new orientation, a blast of personal energy, and a sense that you're revving up. It's also a beautiful time for self-honesty.
You're inclined to connect with what you truly want from your life and where improvements can be made, particularly how you approach the world, take the lead, and present yourself. Your natural talents, the areas where you shine, and your savvy are readily discoverable and perhaps on display. Mercury is in Aries until the 10th, and you want to be heard and share your thoughts.
You're considerably more engaged and ready to make things happen. Others notice and hear you loud and clear as you begin the month. It's a time for really shining and feeling more in control of your life personally. Aim to start your solar year with confidence and mindfulness. In the week following the New Moon, you may decide to begin key projects.
Even so, while you begin the month quite active with friends and groups, two key planets, Venus and Mars, move out of your social sector and into your hidden sector on the 5th and 14th. There's some need to pull back from overly demanding and competitive situations, and perhaps people. Your perceptions heighten, and you're learning important things about your inner world, most profound needs, and loved ones. You could be contemplating and perhaps hesitating with affections and feelings. It's healthy and natural as Venus closes out a cycle, and you prepare for a new one in early May, when Venus enters your sign. In the meantime, undercover feelings could be in focus, or there's a tendency to look behind you before starting anew.
Jupiter is in your privacy sector, too, reinforcing the personal, private, and inward focus that often dominates the month's energies. While you could be wrestling with some decisions, you can, in fact, be a real dynamo with a bit of extra solitude and time to yourself.
If you've been overdoing special interests or your social life, a Mars-Saturn alignment on the 4th can remind you to slow down. Considering your limits is wise. A Jupiter-Neptune alignment on the 12th colors the month with quite a bit of imagination, however. There can be an increasing feeling of spiritual protection, spirituality, heightened intuition, and understanding. Your dreaming world is active, and your faith in the unknown strengthens. Rewards for past good deeds or projects can emerge, or events expand your innate compassion, warmth, or inner eye. There can be hidden or elusive elements to your communications, interests, and studies.
Pay special attention to what others reveal around the 16th when a Full Moon occurs in your partnership sector.
The Sun and Mercury move into your sector of resources, natural talents, and self-worth on the 19th and 10th, respectively. These shifts stir a desire to build up your resources, improve your bottom line, and develop what you already have.
Pluto turns retrograde on the 29th, and 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. It can initially magnify work and reputation problems, but going forward, some of the pressure you've been feeling to perform is moved to the backseat. This is likely to feel good for those who've been a little bogged down recently.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on the 30th in your solar second house, prompting new directions with money and things. You could bring your recent ideas and endeavors to life and build or develop these projects. You're moving towards a more patient and moderate approach to life that truly works for you.
You might free yourself from a burden or unhealthy attachment, or there can be forgiveness and understanding that help you move on and embrace your future. With Jupiter soon entering your sign, now is the time to clear the path for new beginnings.

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.
