Going on a little day trip is supported by the new moon in Aries on Friday, April 5, as it occurs in your house of expanding horizons. You’ve been giving a lot to your friendships and creative projects since November 2018 as the planet of expansion, Jupiter, entered Sagittarius. Jupiter starts its retrograde on Wednesday, April 10 (ending on August 11), kickstarting a time of inventory check. What have you found pleasure and creative joy in doing since November? For the next few months, you will be reviewing your steps rather than conquering new territory. You will find a way to take what you've learned, then share it in a fresh way. The empathetic murkiness you may have been feeling has been due to a prolonged period of Mercury fumbling around in Pisces, and it finally ends when Mercury enters Aries on Wednesday, April 17.

It is time to be honest with yourself about matters of intimacy and interdependence this month, lovely Virgo. Allow yourself to be vulnerable and introspective during the new moon in Aries on Friday, April 5, occurring in your house of shared resources — something that astrologers tend to extend to sex (and taxes). This new moon empowers you to have a strong will and will help transform you into a more independent person. Since last November, Jupiter (the planet of expansion) has influenced you to take on some ambitious nesting projects as it’s been occupying your house of home and family. When the planet of growth starts its yearly retrograde on Wednesday, April 10 you will have space to reflect on the new ground you have covered. During the Jupiter retrograde, you can check to ensure that you have the security to continue expansion once the retrograde ends on August 11. Your planetary ruler, messenger Mercury, was retrograde last month, but you are still cleaning up its mess. Mercury clears its retrograde shadow on Tuesday, April 16, offering you a grace period to perform do-overs until then. There will be a change of pace once Mercury enters Aries on Wednesday, April 17, changing signs for the first time since early February. With the communication planet in an intimate and sensitive sector of your chart, trust your instincts. Aries is very impulsive, and the house that it rules has psychic potential. With the planet of the mind moving through Aries, pay attention to your intuition. What is it that you intend on keeping for yourself, rather than compulsively sharing? While Aries season is about what you share with everyone, the full moon in Libra on Friday, April 19, highlights your own resources. During the full moon, it will become easy to see whatever it is that you need to start keeping for yourself, rather than compulsively sharing because you feel like you need to root for the underdog. To strike a graceful balance between giving and taking, be honest about your emotions. After Aries season has taught you lessons about your independence in relationships, it’s time for Taurus season. The sun enters Taurus on Saturday, April 20, beginning a period of thoughtfully sharing what you’ve learned with the world. Follow your desire to learn more about life through art and culture. The planet of love, Venus, also enters Aries on Saturday, April 20, encouraging you to strengthen your connection with others through interdependent intimacy, grounded in your idealistic vision for the future. Speaking of lessons learned, Saturn, the planet of time and structure, starts its retrograde on Monday, April 29 (ending on September 18). While Saturn is retrograde, you'll find that what goes around comes back around, so make sure you are ready to face some hard truths about dating and friendship. When the planet of structure takes a break, rules become flexible, so your standard, traditional rules about love and connection could be bent for the next few months. With so much happening surrounding your intimacy and dating life this month, adorn your whole body with a glowing aura. A soft shimmery body highlight, like Fenty Beauty's Fairy Bomb Shimmer Powder, will do the trick.
