It’s a new season…but you know what they say, Virgo: “April showers bring May flowers” and—unfortunately—for you it feels all too literal. Solar motion through Aries has been activating the area of your chart associated with transformation, intensity, and heavy nostalgia. Basically, you’ve been on the brink of tears for the past few weeks. But don’t be too harsh on yourself, Virgo! All of these complex emotions are actually a beautiful thing.

On April 11, the New Moon in Aries will prompt you to dive even deeper into the nooks and crannies of your psyche. How do your past experiences inform your current realities? How can your memories shape your future in the best possible way? With no nocturnal lunation, this New Moon invites you to ruminate on the entire scope of your powerful, dynamic journey. I know you have a tendency to be a bit overly critical, but resist the urge to judge, Virgo darling. At this moment, gentle awareness will be far more productive than hard-edged nit-picking. Embrace your wholeness because—after all—this narrative is still a work in progress.

Too much intensity? I don’t blame you! Fortunately, on April 14, Venus (the planet of values) slides into Taurus, followed by Mercury (the planet of communication, as well as your planetary ruler) and the Sun, both on April 19. When the Sun joins the Taurus party, it’s officially a new astrological season: Taurus season! You're not mad about Aries season ending, and in fact, Taurus—a like-minded earth sign—activates the area of your chart associated with philosophy, adventure, and expansion. So, for the next few weeks, you’ll be driven by your curiosities. Whether you’re enrolling in an exciting virtual class that ignites your passion or staying up way past your bedtime (now that’s really wild behavior, Virgo), multiple planets in Taurus’ domain will give you a much-needed jolt of energy and charisma. This is an excellent time to break out of your comfort zone ,so go ahead and take a few risks—trust that, underneath this sky, your bravery is guaranteed to pay off!

Your newfound chutzpah is certainly attracting attention…but when the month concludes with a Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26, you may discover that there’s an ugly side to popularity. Not only are folks gossiping with you, but people might even be spreading rumors about you. WTF?! Will you set the record straight…or try to lay low? Both have pros and cons, but in order to get the full picture, you may need to consult with a trusted companion and weigh the options. The good news? This drama will wane with the Moon—by the end of the month, your external realities will return to normal, though you’ll be smarter, wiser, and even more discerning than you were before. Honestly, we love to see it!
