While everyone else is celebrating the fiery passion of Aries season, you're feeling a little more introverted. The sun in Aries activates the area of your chart associated with rebirth and transformation. It's intense, but over the next few weeks, you'll discover the power of emotional growth. Your ability to regenerate is fueled by your willingness to let go. We only have so much space in our psyche, so make room for new perspectives by dismissing antiquated thinking. Consider what you need to release to propel yourself forward.

The moon links up with the sun on April 15, meaning you may feel extra emo toward the middle of the month. But don't stop at listening to angsty albums: Open yourself up to the valuable lessons this lunation has to provide. The darkness of the sky encourages you to trust your intuition, look within, and face your fears. What's holding you back, Virgo babe? Your spiritual path is illuminated through strength and bravery, so don't be afraid to go the distance.

After several weeks of major feels, you'll be ready to take your musings to the next level. It's time to think big, Virgo darling. On April 19, Taurus season begins and the sun shifts into the area of your chart associated with travel, expansion, and philosophy. This is an auspicious time to invest in your passions and curiosities. Plan an exciting adventure abroad, enroll in an inspiring program, or dive into podcast or program that expands your worldview. You're one of the most intellectual signs of the zodiac, Virgo, so you'll love this educational energy.

On April 24, romantic Venus moves into Gemini, highlighting the area of your chart associated with your long-term professional aspirations. When this zone is activated, it's time to enter full hustle mode: It's all about elevator pitches, strategic planning, and legacy-building. With Venus — the planet of love, beauty, and money — in the mix, you'll be increasingly tantalized by professional opportunities.

If you're already coupled, tell your partner you're about to enter an affair with your career. Any choices you make now will be sure to have a positive impact, so embrace this auspicious moment. Single? You'll be enchanted by people in powerful positions, so partnerships built during this transit may have an opportunistic flair. It's absolutely fine to be attracted to someone's ambition, but make sure you're actually into the person and not just their résumé.

The month concludes with a full moon in Scorpio on April 29, creating a powerful tension between your local community and long-distance intrigues. Full moons occur when the sun and moon are in direct opposition, exposing the duality of our experiences. While part of you is finally ready to move past your comfort zone, you discover that your emotions are tethered to place. But this isn't a lesson about sacrifice: Instead, this powerful lunation reminds us that we must practice balance in order to reach our fullest potential.

On this day, consider how you can reach your goals through your network. Perhaps ask a friend to make a strategic career-based introduction. After all, Virgo, in order to expand your horizons, you must be willing to look past your immediate scope of vision.
