Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
April 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
The month holds good energy for highlighting your sense of fun, dear Sagittarius, but you're also paying due attention to your inner world, routines, and duties. It's difficult to find you in a state of boredom in April. You're expressive and often happy to be the center of attention, but once Venus enters your partnership sector on the 11th, you're also very accommodating and perfectly willing to let someone special take center stage.
Even with a strong emphasis on your sector of romance, play, entertainment, children, and creativity in April, Mars is intensifying your emotions and turning your attention to the hidden or deep elements of your life. It's a vital process that mustn't be rushed or undervalued, but it can sometimes slow the process of coming out of your shell. Nevertheless, it's undeniable that you're gearing up for some fun. The goal is to be yourself with fewer inhibitions.
With a Solar Eclipse and the Sun meeting Jupiter in your solar fifth house this month, you're motivated to pursue your heart's desire or heartfelt endeavors, passions, and loves. If you are doing something creative, it's bound to be spirited. Self-expression, personal magnetism, and confidence are themes. You might awaken to hidden or dormant talents.
Of course, there can be some complications as part of you seeks intensity, and another part only wants to enjoy the moment. But the inspiration to create, share, and even perform comes naturally. You are energized and inspired creatively.
The Full Moon on the 6th can shed light on your hopes and wishes, and perhaps some dissatisfaction. Friends and lovers can be part of the picture or catalysts for feeling like you do. You are opening your eyes to areas of your life that are not working to your benefit, and it's an excellent time to begin making plans on how to change them.
You can come to an excellent balance between work and play in April, and you can feel quite empowered and confident as a result. You're also in a solid position to do research and analysis. Insight into health or work methods can be quick and clever. You might find yourself drawn to push the usual boundaries, which can be profound in healthy ways but could lead you down the wrong path if you aren't mindful of your limits.
With the Solar Eclipse on the 20th, new beginnings can come of endings, and it's a powerful time to set your goals and intentions with pursuing your joy, love, romance, children, and creativity. If you've been holding on too tightly to attitudes or projects that have kept you from expressing your true self, this is a time for making meaningful changes.
Good experiences on the job are likely this month. You are finding new ways to get along with others, and people are valuing your services. The Sun heads into your solar sixth house on the 20th, Mercury is there all month, and Venus until the 11th. It's a time of abundant ideas to improve your health or work attitudes and efforts. You take more pride in your work, and as a result, your performance improves.
The last week of the month is solid for taking charge of health, healing, and work matters. Mercury's retrograde from the 21st forward suggests a need to backtrack, reassess projects or launch dates, and redo or rework specific tasks. Information clogs can make this a waiting period. Still, it's a great time to do edits and focus on works in progress. You're thinking up wonderful ways to improve, develop, and refine routines or drawing more explicit boundaries that separate work and rest to your benefit. While looking forward to a brighter future, you also look to the past for answers and solutions.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
April 2023 Sagittarius 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 fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From April 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
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 fifth house, suggesting a new approach to love, children, or creative projects. A new set-up in existing love affairs or a new love affair altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to express yourself spontaneously and creatively.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for fun and leisure activities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until April 10th:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
From April 11th forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. 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--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From April 3rd forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; 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 energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
April 2023 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until April 13th:
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.
From April 14th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:
April 2023 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
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 10th 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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
From the 2-28:
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.
From April 28th forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person!

An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

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
This 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.
Overview Horoscope:
April 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
The month holds good energy for highlighting your sense of fun, dear Sagittarius, but you're also paying due attention to your inner world, routines, and duties. It's difficult to find you in a state of boredom in April. You're expressive and often happy to be the center of attention, but once Venus enters your partnership sector on the 11th, you're also very accommodating and perfectly willing to let someone special take center stage.
Even with a strong emphasis on your sector of romance, play, entertainment, children, and creativity in April, Mars is intensifying your emotions and turning your attention to the hidden or deep elements of your life. It's a vital process that mustn't be rushed or undervalued, but it can sometimes slow the process of coming out of your shell. Nevertheless, it's undeniable that you're gearing up for some fun. The goal is to be yourself with fewer inhibitions.
With a Solar Eclipse and the Sun meeting Jupiter in your solar fifth house this month, you're motivated to pursue your heart's desire or heartfelt endeavors, passions, and loves. If you are doing something creative, it's bound to be spirited. Self-expression, personal magnetism, and confidence are themes. You might awaken to hidden or dormant talents.
Of course, there can be some complications as part of you seeks intensity, and another part only wants to enjoy the moment. But the inspiration to create, share, and even perform comes naturally. You are energized and inspired creatively.
The Full Moon on the 6th can shed light on your hopes and wishes, and perhaps some dissatisfaction. Friends and lovers can be part of the picture or catalysts for feeling like you do. You are opening your eyes to areas of your life that are not working to your benefit, and it's an excellent time to begin making plans on how to change them.
You can come to an excellent balance between work and play in April, and you can feel quite empowered and confident as a result. You're also in a solid position to do research and analysis. Insight into health or work methods can be quick and clever. You might find yourself drawn to push the usual boundaries, which can be profound in healthy ways but could lead you down the wrong path if you aren't mindful of your limits.
With the Solar Eclipse on the 20th, new beginnings can come of endings, and it's a powerful time to set your goals and intentions with pursuing your joy, love, romance, children, and creativity. If you've been holding on too tightly to attitudes or projects that have kept you from expressing your true self, this is a time for making meaningful changes.
Good experiences on the job are likely this month. You are finding new ways to get along with others, and people are valuing your services. The Sun heads into your solar sixth house on the 20th, Mercury is there all month, and Venus until the 11th. It's a time of abundant ideas to improve your health or work attitudes and efforts. You take more pride in your work, and as a result, your performance improves.
The last week of the month is solid for taking charge of health, healing, and work matters. Mercury's retrograde from the 21st forward suggests a need to backtrack, reassess projects or launch dates, and redo or rework specific tasks. Information clogs can make this a waiting period. Still, it's a great time to do edits and focus on works in progress. You're thinking up wonderful ways to improve, develop, and refine routines or drawing more explicit boundaries that separate work and rest to your benefit. While looking forward to a brighter future, you also look to the past for answers and solutions.

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.
