Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
April 2019 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo: April brings lively energy to your life as Mars works in harmony with your sign all month, dear Leo, as well as a strong showing in your sector of adventure and spirit. You are being pulled up and out of yourself, more willing to take on a challenge, to reach out to others, and to invest in your belief in yourself. Even so, your intimate sector continues to hold some weight until the 20th, and there is much going on under the surface of things. Ideally, you'll come to a nice balance between doing and observing.
April is likely to bring your fair share of excitement as well as opportunities for relationship and intimacy "repair" if needed. Your magnetism is in many ways fueled by your ability to bond and discuss personal matters in the first three weeks. Even so, you're especially active and in demand now. The tempo does change to a certain degree in the last week of the month, when ambitions are kindled.
There may have been some confusion about boundaries with others, your personal limits, or about finances in March, and now, clarity is with you. April is a time when you're clearer on what you have and what you need, as well as what you can provide for yourself. Procrastination or delays are now, for the most part, a thing of the past. All month, there can be extra attention to your work and health routines, although these needs and drives might often seem to clash with your very real need for more adventure or a break from the routine this month and next. There is a change of tempo related to these themes in the works, too.
There is much activity in your sector of beliefs, adventure, and ideals in April, and you're encouraged to bring more of the world into your personal life. You could be enjoying new interests or doing a lot of thinking about your plans in a big-picture way. There can be quite a bit of temptation to bend the rules. There can be some forgetfulness or moments of feeling quite scattered, too, but Saturn and Pluto weave in and out of the picture this month, reminding you of your limits and ambitions, and while sometimes their input can be unwelcome, it can also be useful to pace yourself.
Still, this can be a fine time for attracting positive feedback, as well as for feeling especially liked and reinforced. You are more likely to make happy connections through activities that take you outside of the routine or onto unfamiliar ground, and this is especially likely after Venus moves into your solar ninth house from the 20th, although the 14th is also strong for this.
There may be difficulties with a friend or group stimulated around the 10-12, but gains are coming through your connections as well, so be patient. Motivation and enthusiasm are stimulated to begin new goals with Mars in your solar eleventh house all month. This gently stimulating transit will stick with you until mid-May. Also beginning mid-month, you develop a stronger taste for expressing yourself freely and spontaneously. Educational, travel, communication, and networking pursuits are favored. This is a time for really branching out and reaching far beyond your normal boundaries. If romance is featured, it has a flavor of freedom and adventure. Areas of life that benefit the most include travel, education, romance, creativity, children, hobbies, publishing, and recreation. There may be opportunities to expand and promote. However, do your best to get your personal affairs in order so that you can take better advantage of opportunities that do arise.
The Full Moon on the 19th can mark a turning point related to a relationship with a sibling or classmate, your studies, or a special-interest project. While there has been special attention to the body side of the mind/body balance, this month encourages you to factor in the health of the mind and spirit.
The last week of April brings a breath of fresh air to your career, professional interests, or life direction. There may be some form of recognition for your accomplishments or work, and incentives, benefits, or awards can figure strongly. This energy, too, will follow you into May and build further. The winds of change are blowing in these areas of your life with Uranus at the top of your chart, and for now, it can feel like a pleasant breeze. It's a fine time to intuit where you may want to head. With the Sun and Uranus coming together at the top of your solar chart, a partnership in or through business can figure strongly now and in coming years.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
April 2019 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 19th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From April 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until April 19th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From April 20th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 16th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From April 17th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
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.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
April 2019 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until April 3rd:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From April 4-28:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
From April 29th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now.

A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours.

Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 14th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From April 15th 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).

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
April 2019 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From April 10th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life.

Until April 11th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage!

If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From April 12-30:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 6th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From April 7th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
Overview Horoscope:
April 2019 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo: April brings lively energy to your life as Mars works in harmony with your sign all month, dear Leo, as well as a strong showing in your sector of adventure and spirit. You are being pulled up and out of yourself, more willing to take on a challenge, to reach out to others, and to invest in your belief in yourself. Even so, your intimate sector continues to hold some weight until the 20th, and there is much going on under the surface of things. Ideally, you'll come to a nice balance between doing and observing.
April is likely to bring your fair share of excitement as well as opportunities for relationship and intimacy "repair" if needed. Your magnetism is in many ways fueled by your ability to bond and discuss personal matters in the first three weeks. Even so, you're especially active and in demand now. The tempo does change to a certain degree in the last week of the month, when ambitions are kindled.
There may have been some confusion about boundaries with others, your personal limits, or about finances in March, and now, clarity is with you. April is a time when you're clearer on what you have and what you need, as well as what you can provide for yourself. Procrastination or delays are now, for the most part, a thing of the past. All month, there can be extra attention to your work and health routines, although these needs and drives might often seem to clash with your very real need for more adventure or a break from the routine this month and next. There is a change of tempo related to these themes in the works, too.
There is much activity in your sector of beliefs, adventure, and ideals in April, and you're encouraged to bring more of the world into your personal life. You could be enjoying new interests or doing a lot of thinking about your plans in a big-picture way. There can be quite a bit of temptation to bend the rules. There can be some forgetfulness or moments of feeling quite scattered, too, but Saturn and Pluto weave in and out of the picture this month, reminding you of your limits and ambitions, and while sometimes their input can be unwelcome, it can also be useful to pace yourself.
Still, this can be a fine time for attracting positive feedback, as well as for feeling especially liked and reinforced. You are more likely to make happy connections through activities that take you outside of the routine or onto unfamiliar ground, and this is especially likely after Venus moves into your solar ninth house from the 20th, although the 14th is also strong for this.
There may be difficulties with a friend or group stimulated around the 10-12, but gains are coming through your connections as well, so be patient. Motivation and enthusiasm are stimulated to begin new goals with Mars in your solar eleventh house all month. This gently stimulating transit will stick with you until mid-May. Also beginning mid-month, you develop a stronger taste for expressing yourself freely and spontaneously. Educational, travel, communication, and networking pursuits are favored. This is a time for really branching out and reaching far beyond your normal boundaries. If romance is featured, it has a flavor of freedom and adventure. Areas of life that benefit the most include travel, education, romance, creativity, children, hobbies, publishing, and recreation. There may be opportunities to expand and promote. However, do your best to get your personal affairs in order so that you can take better advantage of opportunities that do arise.
The Full Moon on the 19th can mark a turning point related to a relationship with a sibling or classmate, your studies, or a special-interest project. While there has been special attention to the body side of the mind/body balance, this month encourages you to factor in the health of the mind and spirit.
The last week of April brings a breath of fresh air to your career, professional interests, or life direction. There may be some form of recognition for your accomplishments or work, and incentives, benefits, or awards can figure strongly. This energy, too, will follow you into May and build further. The winds of change are blowing in these areas of your life with Uranus at the top of your chart, and for now, it can feel like a pleasant breeze. It's a fine time to intuit where you may want to head. With the Sun and Uranus coming together at the top of your solar chart, a partnership in or through business can figure strongly now and in coming years.

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 a 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 reveal 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.
