Overview for this Month: Capricorn (All)
April 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You're connecting with your needs for a solid, happy base of operations in April, dear Capricorn, with a strong focus on your solar sector of heart and home. The month also spotlights your creativity, hobbies, pleasures, and love life. Improvements to your living conditions, family relations, and leisure time can figure strongly.
You're in fine shape to attend to your needs for security, wholeness, and inner wellness. Watch for over-pampering now, as there is an inclination to get very, very comfortable! Moderation is always best. The 10-11 is an opportunity period for family relationships, good news about home or real estate, improved living arrangements, and personal magnetism. You're thinking about growth and expansion and might take steps toward improving your life from the ground up. Whatever you're building, you're putting your heart and soul into it, maximizing its chances of success.
Of course, you can't deny your need to fulfill duties to the outside world, and the Full Moon on the 6th reminds you of this. There can be a call to take the lead, recognition, or a need to attend to a responsibility. It's best not to rush into action, but connecting with your feelings is a good idea.
In the last week of March, Mars moved into opposition with your sign, stirring up passions, not always comfortably. It continues to do so this month. While there can be conflicts with a partner or best friend, it's a good time to actively improve relationships. Mars wants relationships that have been overly restrictive, tense, dull, or negative to improve. A partner could be pushy, cranky, or simply taking the lead. Someone in your life may encourage you to connect with your desires, courage, or confidence, whether directly or indirectly. Or you're putting more energy into your relationships than usual.
The best way to use this Mars transit is to allow others to inspire and motivate you. Team up and take action so that excess energy turns outwards. It can be a passionate, revealing time.
You can bring remarkable creativity and warmth to your personal life in April. Creativity soars, and relationships may reach a whole new level. New long-term endeavors might get their start now. You thrive on connections and brainstorming sessions. You feel more powerful and confident in your romantic relationships or with your creative projects. You're also braver about sharing your ideas and creations.
The Solar Eclipse on the 20th clears the way for new beginnings and might mean letting something go, particularly a situation that has held you back. Plans to reorganize, remodel, renovate, or improve your home or living conditions are in the works. This eclipse is the first in a set, spanning two years, that encourages you to find a better balance between your personal and public life. This first eclipse in the series spotlights improvements you can make to your inner world, sense of security, home, and close relationships. It's a great time to consider ways to improve your home base.
The Sun's move into your romance and creativity sector on the 20th is quickly followed by Mercury's retrograde the next day. Your social life is busy and active. Leisure time is particularly satisfying. Even so, backtracking is likely in these areas of life. You may not always get the words right, but you're bound to find different channels for expressing yourself, and creative mediums seem your best bet. It's a time for patience – building lasting connections and projects is highly favored since brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground.
You're taking charge of your need for satisfying channels for enjoyment and self-expression. Finding ways to let off steam and detox is important as you close the month.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
April 2023 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 20th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From April 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
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 fourth house, suggesting a new approach to domestic affairs, home, and family. A new set-up in an existing home or a new home altogether may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your domestic routines, comfort, and feeling of security.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for a solid foundation--a place to return to when the rest of the world is getting on your nerves.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until April 10th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. 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!
From April 11th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From April 3rd forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
April 2023 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 13th:
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.
From April 14th forward:
Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
April 2023 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
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 10th 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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
From the 2-28:
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!
From April 28th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
This month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
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
This 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.
Overview Horoscope:
April 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You're connecting with your needs for a solid, happy base of operations in April, dear Capricorn, with a strong focus on your solar sector of heart and home. The month also spotlights your creativity, hobbies, pleasures, and love life. Improvements to your living conditions, family relations, and leisure time can figure strongly.
You're in fine shape to attend to your needs for security, wholeness, and inner wellness. Watch for over-pampering now, as there is an inclination to get very, very comfortable! Moderation is always best. The 10-11 is an opportunity period for family relationships, good news about home or real estate, improved living arrangements, and personal magnetism. You're thinking about growth and expansion and might take steps toward improving your life from the ground up. Whatever you're building, you're putting your heart and soul into it, maximizing its chances of success.
Of course, you can't deny your need to fulfill duties to the outside world, and the Full Moon on the 6th reminds you of this. There can be a call to take the lead, recognition, or a need to attend to a responsibility. It's best not to rush into action, but connecting with your feelings is a good idea.
In the last week of March, Mars moved into opposition with your sign, stirring up passions, not always comfortably. It continues to do so this month. While there can be conflicts with a partner or best friend, it's a good time to actively improve relationships. Mars wants relationships that have been overly restrictive, tense, dull, or negative to improve. A partner could be pushy, cranky, or simply taking the lead. Someone in your life may encourage you to connect with your desires, courage, or confidence, whether directly or indirectly. Or you're putting more energy into your relationships than usual.
The best way to use this Mars transit is to allow others to inspire and motivate you. Team up and take action so that excess energy turns outwards. It can be a passionate, revealing time.
You can bring remarkable creativity and warmth to your personal life in April. Creativity soars, and relationships may reach a whole new level. New long-term endeavors might get their start now. You thrive on connections and brainstorming sessions. You feel more powerful and confident in your romantic relationships or with your creative projects. You're also braver about sharing your ideas and creations.
The Solar Eclipse on the 20th clears the way for new beginnings and might mean letting something go, particularly a situation that has held you back. Plans to reorganize, remodel, renovate, or improve your home or living conditions are in the works. This eclipse is the first in a set, spanning two years, that encourages you to find a better balance between your personal and public life. This first eclipse in the series spotlights improvements you can make to your inner world, sense of security, home, and close relationships. It's a great time to consider ways to improve your home base.
The Sun's move into your romance and creativity sector on the 20th is quickly followed by Mercury's retrograde the next day. Your social life is busy and active. Leisure time is particularly satisfying. Even so, backtracking is likely in these areas of life. You may not always get the words right, but you're bound to find different channels for expressing yourself, and creative mediums seem your best bet. It's a time for patience – building lasting connections and projects is highly favored since brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground.
You're taking charge of your need for satisfying channels for enjoyment and self-expression. Finding ways to let off steam and detox is important as you close the month.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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 decan regardless of your birthdate.
