What April’s Libra Horoscope Means for You

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

This new season is all about the influence that other people have on your life, Libra. You are the zodiac sign known for relationships, but this season specifically concerns relationships that are in the public eye. During the new moon in Aries on Friday, April 5, you'll gain a new perspective that will help you begin a refreshed emotional cycle in your most important relationships.

Since entering Sagittarius in November, the philosophical planet of growth, Jupiter, has been in your house of learning and writing. Once Jupiter starts its retrograde on Wednesday, April 10 (ending on August 11), you will be reviewing your current writing and academic projects, and you'll want to check in to ensure you are on the right path.

Last month, Mercury retrograde shook up a lot of scheduling complications at work. Although it threw a wrench in your productivity, Mercury retrograde allowed you space to parse through emotional issues. Mercury retrograde doesn’t totally end as soon as retrograde is technically over; it still needs to go back over the path it was retrograde. This time of forgiveness and repetition is called the post-retrograde shadow period. Mercury clears its shadow on Tuesday, April 16, helping you to finally power through your to-do list.

It’s a breath of fresh air when Mercury enters Aries on Wednesday, April 17, which is your house of partnerships. Other people in your life are going to be much more talkative and mentally engaged with you. It’s an exciting, communication-heavy time for your relationships.

Focus on taking care of yourself during the full moon in Libra on Friday, April 19. Right now, you'll be able to recognize balance in your partnerships. If you’re giving too much of your energy away or you’re not taking care of yourself first, this full moon is going to reveal what you need to do to move forward.

Your relationships get deeper and more intense this month as you learn to trust your friends and partners.

Your concept of intimacy will deepen later in April. When the sun enters fellow Venus-ruled sign Taurus on Saturday, April 20, it lights up your house of shared resources. Your planetary ruler, love and money planet Venus, enters Aries the same day, bringing pleasure to your relationships. The end of April is a time where your relationships get deeper and more intense as you learn to trust your friends and partners.

Two outer planets go retrograde in your house of home and family at the end of April. The planet of obsession, Pluto, starts its retrograde on Wednesday, April 24 (ending on October 3), and lord of karma, Saturn, starts its retrograde on Monday, April 29 (ending on September 18). Your authority and need to be in control at home goes into cruise control. When Saturn moves backward, we are confronted with past responsibilities, offering a second chance to test if we’re up for the task.

Because you will be forming intense bonds this month, you might want to keep an overnight bag on hand just in case. A setting spray can be used to refresh your makeup throughout a date, and if you snag a mini version you can bring it wherever you go. Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray has super reviews and will keep you looking great all day and night.
