What April's Aries Horoscope Means for You
Read what your sign's 2019 horoscope predictions have in store for you, or check out the Aries personality profile.
Aries, begins this month with a refreshing new moon right in the middle of your sign on Friday, April 5. April is a socially curious time: With your action-driven planetary ruler, Mars, in intellectual Gemini all month, you will be actively seeking out new information and experiences right in your own neighborhood. Kick off your month by spending time with some familiar faces during the first weekend of April. Use the fresh energy of the new moon to set some new personal goals for yourself.
Philosophical Jupiter begins its retrograde on Wednesday, April 10 and will last through August 11. From spring to summer, you will find yourself reflecting on your beliefs and refining your personal philosophy. Old ideas you've had will bubble back up to the surface to remind you that nothing you've learned truly leaves you. The faraway places that you have visited (if only in dreams) will also return to you, as Jupiter takes a break from its forward motion.
You have been pretty quiet, biting your tongue and keeping your personal opinions to yourself since February, but you are able to find the right words to say when communication planet Mercury enters Aries on Wednesday, April 17. Even if your thoughts are impulsive, you will have the self-control this month to find a balance, thanks to Mars in sturdy Taurus.
Then the Libra full moon on Friday, April 19 brings your relationships to the foreground. You have a reputation for being self-sufficient, but like anyone, getting reciprocal emotional support from your partners is necessary. The full moon is an illuminating time, literally, which will show you how to balance your personal priorities and pleasing other people.
You'll be more likely to get away with bending the rules at work this month.
The sun spends its very last day in your sign on Friday, April 19, pushing you to write the final sentence in a personal chapter. Reflect on what you want it to say. The next chapter begins when the sun enters Taurus on Saturday, April 20, highlighting your personal resources. Also on Saturday, Venus — the planet of love and beauty — enters Aries, enhancing your personal style and powers of physical attraction.
With power planet Pluto beginning its retrograde on Wednesday, April 24 (and lasting until October 3), you are going to spend a large portion of 2019 considering how you handle your authority. Are you wielding your power respectfully, or is it coming from a negative place of greed and fear? Pluto is not afraid to touch upon dark topics. While Pluto is retrograde, pick up on the subtle ways that an obsession with reputation can affect everyone around you.
The planet of hard work and loyalty, Saturn, starts its retrograde shortly after, on Monday, April 29 (and lasts until September 18). This will also have implications for your career and reputation. As Saturn takes a break from following the rules, your bosses are more likely to let you get away with bending them.
With so many planets in Aries this April, you are going to turn plenty of heads. You are bold and outspoken, which calls for a bold lip, like Too Faced’s Melted Matte Lipstick in "1998." It's a liquid lipstick that will stay put while you celebrate your birthday. Happy solar return, Aries love.
