Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
April 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
With a strong focus on your sector of spirit and adventure in the first weeks of April, dear Leo, your desire to learn, share ideas, and reach out beyond the usual routine or the mundane in your life is vital. Transits encourage you to bring more of the world into your personal life. You could be enjoying new interests or thinking about your plans in a big-picture way. There can be some forgetfulness or moments of feeling quite scattered, but with Mars moving in harmony with your sign until the 23rd, you're making progress.
You might enjoy the opportunity to learn new skills or develop your current ones, or there can be a strong focus on training, learning, and connecting. The first half of the month can be good for attracting positive feedback and feeling reinforced. You are more likely to make happy connections through activities that take you outside of the routine or onto unfamiliar ground mentally.
There may be difficulties with a friend or group with Mars in your social sector, but gains coming through your connections are more prominent. Around the 9th, the need to escape or to enjoy a change of pace can be intense. If you were hard on yourself energetically in the days before this date, you could feel a little disoriented, or challenges with boundaries with someone may need attention. Even so, your motivation and enthusiasm are strong for aspiring towards something special. Happiness goals are in strong focus, and it can be a time when team efforts thrive and new projects can take off. The motivation to pursue your dreams and make plans for an exciting future is with you.
If you're considering a unique adventure, a new course, or a publishing project, the week after the New Moon on the 11th can be a good time for drawing up new plans. Feed your mind, enjoy new experiences, and brush up on skills! The need for a fresh perspective or stimulating extra-curricular activities is strong after this New Moon, and new beginnings along these lines can help broaden your horizons. You're recognizing the need to live your life more fully, although you can feel some restlessness before finding your way.
The need for good company and interesting experiences can motivate you into action. You might enjoy opportunities to meet special people through long-distance communications, cultural interests or special-interest topics, higher education, acquaintances, or groups, or you can find pleasure and inspiration through these things. You're inclined to express your feelings straightforwardly, and this forthcoming approach truly works in your favor, boosting your appeal. Conversations can be inspiring and stimulating. Creative ideas emerge now, and some gently motivating competition can get you going.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 14th, and the Sun and Mercury follow suit on the 19th, bringing your attention to rules and structures, as well as career and responsibility. You're goal-oriented and ready to take charge. Even so, Mars moves into the sign behind yours on the 23rd, and you're also inclined to reflect, rest, or take more downtime. Ideally, you can find a balance between these drives.
Around the 26th, there can be some excitement or tension in your personal life or emotional world, leading to a new perspective. Unpredictability can stir up problems now, but you quickly find your way and connect with your true feelings and inner needs.
Pluto turns retrograde the next day, putting you in the position to review and reassess work and health matters. You might more clearly see where you've been over-attached or where you've been putting too much pressure on yourself. Even if you feel you're better equipped to handle matters, you may need to delegate or let go of some initiatives so that you can catch your breath and can help you find more time to explore, expand, and flourish.
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. Career, business, and responsibilities move to the front burner. A partnership in or through business can form.
You might hunger for a fresh start or increased freedom. Inner stirrings that leave you feeling rebellious against the path you're currently taking or against authority figures can be intense. You are slightly more detached than usual when it comes to your work and reputation, and this can lead to bolder moves.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
April 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2021
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 14th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From April 14th forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until April 3rd:
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.
Until April 4-19:
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.
From April 19th forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 23rd:
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 the 23rd onward:
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.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
April 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2021
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 the 22nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
April 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2021
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.

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 6th:
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 6th 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 14th:
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 14-28:
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.
From April 29th forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 6th:
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 7th 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).

Transits encourage you to bring more of the world into your personal life. You could be enjoying new interests or thinking about your plans in a big-picture way. There can be some forgetfulness or moments of feeling quite scattered, but with Mars moving in harmony with your sign until the 23rd, you're making progress.
You might enjoy the opportunity to learn new skills or develop your current ones, or there can be a strong focus on training, learning, and connecting. The first half of the month can be good for attracting positive feedback and feeling reinforced. You are more likely to make happy connections through activities that take you outside of the routine or onto unfamiliar ground mentally.
There may be difficulties with a friend or group with Mars in your social sector, but gains coming through your connections are more prominent. Around the 9th, the need to escape or to enjoy a change of pace can be intense. If you were hard on yourself energetically in the days before this date, you could feel a little disoriented, or challenges with boundaries with someone may need attention. Even so, your motivation and enthusiasm are strong for aspiring towards something special. Happiness goals are in strong focus, and it can be a time when team efforts thrive and new projects can take off. The motivation to pursue your dreams and make plans for an exciting future is with you.
If you're considering a unique adventure, a new course, or a publishing project, the week after the New Moon on the 11th can be a good time for drawing up new plans. Feed your mind, enjoy new experiences, and brush up on skills! The need for a fresh perspective or stimulating extra-curricular activities is strong after this New Moon, and new beginnings along these lines can help broaden your horizons. You're recognizing the need to live your life more fully, although you can feel some restlessness before finding your way.
The need for good company and interesting experiences can motivate you into action. You might enjoy opportunities to meet special people through long-distance communications, cultural interests or special-interest topics, higher education, acquaintances, or groups, or you can find pleasure and inspiration through these things. You're inclined to express your feelings straightforwardly, and this forthcoming approach truly works in your favor, boosting your appeal. Conversations can be inspiring and stimulating. Creative ideas emerge now, and some gently motivating competition can get you going.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 14th, and the Sun and Mercury follow suit on the 19th, bringing your attention to rules and structures, as well as career and responsibility. You're goal-oriented and ready to take charge. Even so, Mars moves into the sign behind yours on the 23rd, and you're also inclined to reflect, rest, or take more downtime. Ideally, you can find a balance between these drives.
Around the 26th, there can be some excitement or tension in your personal life or emotional world, leading to a new perspective. Unpredictability can stir up problems now, but you quickly find your way and connect with your true feelings and inner needs.
Pluto turns retrograde the next day, putting you in the position to review and reassess work and health matters. You might more clearly see where you've been over-attached or where you've been putting too much pressure on yourself. Even if you feel you're better equipped to handle matters, you may need to delegate or let go of some initiatives so that you can catch your breath and can help you find more time to explore, expand, and flourish.
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. Career, business, and responsibilities move to the front burner. A partnership in or through business can form.
You might hunger for a fresh start or increased freedom. Inner stirrings that leave you feeling rebellious against the path you're currently taking or against authority figures can be intense. You are slightly more detached than usual when it comes to your work and reputation, and this can lead to bolder moves.

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 decanate regardless of your birthdate.
