Virgo (Born September 13 to 23) AND Virgo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Virgo:

April 2023 Virgo 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 seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From April 10th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

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 eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills.

This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

From the 2-28: 

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.

From April 28th 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

This month: 

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.

Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th: 

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you.

Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; 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 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 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:

You're easily absorbed in your private life this month, dear Virgo, but also quite connected, ideally finding a good balance between the two themes. While an inward turn works well for you, as long as you have enough time to pursue your interests independently this month, your involvement with a group, friend, or team can be motivating and encouraging. Happiness goals and pursuits are exciting for you in April--your enthusiasm for your plans is great.

Venus moves in harmony with your sign until the 11th, boosting your appeal. This transit also stirs your taste for the exotic--you're looking elsewhere for things that intrigue you. You might thoroughly enjoy cultural activities, studies, debates, and sharing your ideas with others.

New technology or inventive ideas can figure strongly. Endeavors that are progressive and unique hold much appeal. It can also be a strengthening month for close relationships. You're clearer about who you care about and who has your back.

The Full Moon on the 6th can bring surprises with money and relationships. Ownership, sharing, power, and money can be at the root of challenges, or the need to make changes becomes evident. Look for ways to innovate, update, and improve for the best results. Getting to know your own capabilities, limits, and worth is a healthy part of any exploration of dependencies on others or outside sources, and it's what this lunation is about.

April is a resourceful month for you. Support systems can open up, finances can improve, and you may expand your mind and experiences with a special person. Self-improvement efforts can be rewarding. Do detective work - investigate and research, as long as it's empowering rather than hurtful - and learn more about the subjects you love or things that benefit you rather than focusing too intensely on dead issues or something out of your control.

You might have good reason to reconsider a health or work goal with more positivity. From the 11th forward, your relationship with higher-ups improves, your reputation gets a boost, and your enjoyment of your duties increases.

You're craving more from life on a mental level than you usually do in April. You can be enthusiastic about projects, ideas, and plans. There can be an attraction to someone surrounding their beliefs or opinions. Towards the end of the month, you are more obviously outgoing and adventurous. The Sun moves into your sector of spirit and the higher mind on the 20th, and you set your sights higher. It's a good time to explore, discover, and expand your mind.

Just before the Sun makes this move on the 20th, a Solar Eclipse brings powerful energy to your intimacy sector. It's the first in a set of eclipses falling along the axis of your solar chart that rules your resources and those things shared with others. In the coming two years, you'll be getting your financial affairs and relationships in order. Leading a more empowered life does not necessarily mean fewer dependencies, but it does mean eliminating unhealthy support systems. Bad habits may become glaring, and the desire is now strong to put them behind you.

Because a New Moon occurred in the same sector of your chart in March, the process began last month. However, you're more determined now--perhaps even fed up--and it's an excellent time to make resolutions to clear up excess debt, both material and psychic, and to get rid of excess baggage in general.

You close April in a forward-looking cycle that brings you into stronger touch with your need to expand your horizons. Consider that Mercury turns retrograde in your solar ninth house on the 21st, indicating the need to slow down or pace yourself and reconsider some elements of your plans, programs, or ideas.

It's a time to break out of past patterns, yet Mercury's retrograde also encourages you to take care of unfinished business.
