Happy April, Taurus darling! This is a big month: Spring has officially sprung, and with it, a flurry of new possibilities…along with your fast-approaching birthday! But don’t be surprised if you’re not inspired to make party plans just yet. The beginning of the month is all about soulful reflection. What do you need to release in order to start anew? With the New Moon in Aries on April 11 aligning the luminaries (aka the Sun and Moon) in the area of your chart associated with hidden, subconscious secrets, you may find yourself navigating some serious waterworks.

Emotions will be at an all-time high, so pay close attention to how certain memories are activated: Are sentimental sensations prompted by the senses? Which sights, sounds, or smells serve as portals to the past? Though this rumination period may be challenging, be wary of an urge to project your truth onto others. There’s no nocturnal illumination during the New Moon, and the sky is completely dark. This is your opportunity to spend time with your own internal compass—you, and only you, truly know what’s best.

But don’t worry! Faster than you can say “I’m done with this shit!,” the cosmos are already in agreement! On April 14, Venus (the planet of love and values—who just happens to be your planetary ruler) dips into your sign, followed by Mercury (the planet of communication), and the Sun (representing identity), both on April 19. That’s right, bull babe: Taurus season kicks off mid-month and, with so many planets occupying your zodiac sign, a celestial soiree is definitely in order! Happy solar return, darling! With so much energy radiating across your slice of the sky, mid-month is the perfect time to explore pleasure. What lights you up? What brings you joy? This is the perfect time to double-down on anything and everything that sparks joy, so give yourself permission to set your soul aflame. I’m talking lavender-infused baths, sun-kissed naps, and a double-decker cake with extra creamy frosting. You deserve it!

Finally, on April 26, the month concludes with a Full Moon in Scorpio that electrifies the sky, activating the area of your chart related to contracts, partnership, and responsibilities. If you’ve been twiddling your thumbs, patiently waiting for your Instagram crush to miraculously transform into a reliable partner…well, it’s now or never. Full Moons reveal everything—the good, the bad, and the ugly—so it’s likely you will receive some critical insight that inspires you to set some solid boundaries. On the flip side, if you're safely situated in your existing bond, this may be the time to take your commitment to the next level. No matter what’s shaking down in your individual reality, one thing’s for sure: This Full Moon is not playing around—and neither are you! By the end of the month, you’ll be saying buh-bye to anything (or anyone) who’s wasting your precious time. You’ve got things to do!
