It’s Aries season, and solar motion through this fire sign has you feeling…well, fired up! Sure, it’s not quite your birthday season, but with the Sun (your celestial ruler) cruising through Aries’ dynamic domain, you’re ready to party. For the next few weeks, your chart is ignited! Be sure to mark your calendar for the New Moon in Aries on April 11, because that’s when things will really heat up. This lunation is the perfect time to embody your innate flame: What does it mean for you to dive deeper into your creative passions? Will you enroll in a program that sparks your curiosity? Plan some (pandemic-friendly) travel? Or launch some inspired conversations that expand your philosophical horizons? Under this velvety sky, be sure to follow your heart. Your authentic joy will never lead you astray!

Just a few days later, the celestial bodies start shifting into Taurus, the earth sign associated with stability, structure, and (ahem) money. Venus (the planet of values) enters this celestial landscape on April 14, with Mercury (the planet of communication) and the Sun (symbolizing identity) both joining on April 19. The Sun’s motion will signal a new astrological season—Taurus season—activating the area of your chart associated with career, legacy, and professional pursuits.

Yes, lion love, this moment is about cultivating your legacy, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself presented with exciting new opportunities over the next few weeks. Whether you’re signing the contract for a new position, taking steps to free yourself of limiting beliefs, or finally indulging that insatiable urge to bask in the spotlight (I see you, Leo!), mid-month is about climbing the ladder straight to the tippy-top. But let’s be honest: Fear of heights is very real. As much as you may want to be successful, the process can be…well, intimidating. Trust that you have what it takes to not just reach your goals, but exceed them and—when in doubt—remember that humility goes a long way. If you need words of encouragement, don’t be afraid to ask a trusted companion for some gentle support!

Oh, there is one more thing to note, however. While your rise to stardom is fabulous and we all love to see it, it’s absolutely imperative that you continue to take care of your responsibilities. No matter what you aspire to achieve, it’s not cool to pass your problems off to your housemate! Between piles of dirty laundry and towers of soiled dishes, your palace has quickly devolved into a complete and total mess.

On April 26, the Full Moon in Scorpio will implore you to evaluate your work-life balance, ensuring you are spending as much time scrubbing the dishes as you are polishing up resume. Both your future and your present require your dedicated attention, Leo. Beneath this electric sky, however, you’ll quickly realize that tidying up your space is more than just honoring the chore wheel. It’s about clearing your psychic landscape from new opportunities. And that’s definitely worth a little elbow grease!
