April horoscope: Aries season becomes Taurus season
With last month’s Astrological New Year, let’s see what this month brings
I think it’s safe to say, regardless of your sign, that if you are a Trinity student you have had a rough time since spring break. April can be very challenging, as that spring break feeling lingers and finals loom ahead. It is currently Aries season, which began on March 20 and marked the start of a new astrological year. Taurus season starts on April 19, when we will see the new year’s energy being put to use. On April 6 there will be a full moon in Libra, and on April 10 Venus enters Gemini. This month will round out with the sun entering Taurus on April 20 and Mercury retrograde beginning in Taurus on April 21. Please note that the horoscope below is based on both astrological news and my personal opinion.
Taurus April 20-May 20
Experiencing burnout? Aries season brings themes of healing into your life and can help you find a better work-life balance. Take time to understand what you’re thinking and feeling and prioritize self-care. Hopefully, you’ll enter your birthday month feeling stronger than before.
Gemini May 21-June 20
Be open to new experiences and go out of your way to connect with others. Take center stage and embrace the limelight. You’ll be ready for anything this summer.
Cancer June 21-July 21
Believe in yourself and be hopeful that your life will get back on track. The beginning of Taurus season should clarify your future plans. As always, keep on shining.
Leo July 22-Aug. 22
You may be feeling more productive and motivated this month. The April 6 full moon will highlight your communication shortcomings and Taurus season (beginning on April 20) will force you to focus on your work life. Remember to slow down once and a while to find new solutions to old problems.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This month, step out of your comfort zone to be your most authentic self. The full moon occurring on April 6 falls into your money zone which might disrupt your finances in either a positive or negative way, so make sure to stay focused on your long-term goals. Remember to reflect on the challenges you face and continue to grow as a person.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Remember to redirect some of that ambitious energy back to yourself to take it slow during the Mercury retrograde on April 21 and be ready for an exciting summer.
