What April’s Leo Horoscope Means for You

Read what your sign's 2019 horoscope predictions have in store for you, or check out the Leo personality profile.

You start off this month with an urge to explore, Leo, either intellectually, through new fields of study, or physically, by traveling to someplace foreign. It doesn’t have to be anywhere drastically distant — you can simply go outside your neighborhood. Going on a little day trip is supported by the new moon in Aries on Friday, April 5, as it occurs in your house of expanding horizons.

You’ve been giving a lot to your friendships and creative projects since November 2018 as the planet of expansion, Jupiter, entered Sagittarius. Jupiter starts its retrograde on Wednesday, April 10 (ending on August 11), kickstarting a time of inventory check. What have you found pleasure and creative joy in doing since November? For the next few months, you will be reviewing your steps rather than conquering new territory.

The empathetic murkiness you may have been feeling has been due to a prolonged period of Mercury fumbling around in Pisces, and it finally ends when Mercury enters Aries on Wednesday, April 17. Since the beginning of February, you have been overly sensitive to the concerns of others, and this has been a learning process. With Mercury entering Aries, you will find a way to take what you have learned and share it with the world in a fresh way.

There are always people to learn from, which is the theme of the full moon in Libra on Friday, April 19. As this full moon illuminates your house of learning, take your time that weekend to explore relationships with the people closest to you. They can teach you how relationships are fundamental to your desire to independently branch out into the world.

As the sun enters Taurus on Saturday, April 20 toward the end of the month, your career becomes your main focus and priority. Love and money planet Venus enters Aries the same day, providing supportive energy that allows you to align your bold philosophical values with your public image.

If you've been seriously committed to something like your health or your day job, your hard work pays off during Saturn retrograde. The planet of time and structure, Saturn, begins its backward motion through your house of daily routines on Monday, April 29, ending on September 18. While Saturn is retrograde, lessons that you have learned come back to check on how you’ve grown. Another perk of this time is that the rule-abiding nature of the ringed planet takes a break, giving you more space to bend rules and loosen up the structure of your routine.

Spend the first half of the month getting your lion’s mane in shape so you can shine luxuriously for Taurus season. While Aries season is about honing in on your philosophy, Taurus season asks you to focus on ways in which you embody your mission statement. The intense Caviar Anti-Aging Restructuring Bond Repair Masque from Alterna Haircare will give you time to think about the image you want to thoughtfully craft.
