Weekly horoscope: April 12-18. April

Cosmos is not playing around this week. An Aries New Moon lands midweek, bringing the kind of reset energy that actually matters—fresh starts, bold intentions, and a very low tolerance for anything you’ve been putting off. Mercury also moves into Aries, shaking off the dreamy Pisces haze and replacing it with sharp edges and quicker thinking. Pay attention, stargazer. Heaven gives you a rare combination of clarity, drive and real opportunity, and it would be a shame to sleep through it.

Mars conjoins Neptune early in the week, adding a layer of intensity to everything – inspiration and confusion come in the same package. The trick is to know which one you’re dealing with before you act on it. Stay present, trust your instincts, and read your sign below. The stars have a lot to say.

How will your sign fare this week?

Aries: March 21 – April 19

Mars conjoins Neptune early in the week, and the combination is equal parts electric and disorienting. You want to move, but the finish line keeps changing. It’s not the universe telling you to stop—it’s telling you to take a second to breathe before sprinting. In the middle of the week, Mars forms a sextile with Pluto, and everything comes into focus again. The stuck-up, nothing-can-stop-me energy you live for? It’s coming.

The Moon connects with Mars on Tuesday, and your emotions and impulses basically share a brain. Watch your mouth when you’re fired up, Aries. You won’t regret the passion – just make sure it builds something instead of burning it. Channel the heat. You are capable of so much more than just the explosion.

Glyphs of Taurus

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

The week starts a bit sideways – the Moon squares Venus on Sunday and your comfort-seeking instincts are working overtime. Something feels off and you can’t quite name it yet. Sit with it instead of stuffing it down with your usual coping mechanisms (you know the ones). On Monday, Venus sextiles Jupiter and the whole mood does a complete 180. Abundance, warmth, good things are moving in your direction. You didn’t even have to force it.

Mid-week brings a sextile between the Moon and Venus, and honestly, Taurus? This is your sweet spot. The world feels softer, your instincts feel sharper, and the people worth keeping close make themselves apparent. Let them in. Your all-or-nothing personality is a superpower when you channel it into the right things.

Taurus monthly horoscope

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

Your ruling planet Mercury has waded through Pisces, which – let’s be honest – isn’t exactly your natural habitat. Dreamy, emotional, boundless Pisces energy has made your normally sharp mind feel like it’s operating through a cloud. But in the middle of the week, Mercury storms into Aries, and you’ll immediately feel the difference. The words come back. Knowledge comes back. The version of you who can talk his way into or out of absolutely anything? Fully reactivated.

The catch is that Mercury conjuncts Neptune before the week ends, so don’t sign anything or make any massive declarations just yet, Gemini. Your instincts are electric right now, but so is your capacity for self-deception. Brilliant ideas and beautiful delusions can look identical from the inside. Sleep on it one more night.

Gemini monthly horoscope

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

The Sun sextiles your ruling Moon on Sunday, and that’s a really good omen to open the week—your instincts and your ego actually cooperate for once. Lean into it. On Monday, the Moon moves into Pisces and trines Jupiter midweek, which is the cosmic equivalent of someone finally telling you that yes, your feelings are valid and yes, good things are coming. You’ve been carrying a lot lately, Cancer. Let it land.

The big moment this week is the New Moon in Aries on April 17. New Moons are for fresh starts, and this one illuminates the part of your chart that is wired for action. You tend to treat before you move. This week, try moving first and processing later. The stars are backing you up, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.

Cancer monthly horoscope

Leo: July 23 – August 22

Your ruling Sun is in Aries right now, which is basically two fire signs entering a room and immediately taking over the auxiliary cord. The energy is bold, it’s ambitious, and it has no patience for people who can’t keep up. The Sun sextiles the Moon to open the week, and that harmony between ego and emotions is a green light. You know what you want. The question is whether you actually want to pick it up or just talk about it.

The New Moon in Aries lands on Thursday, and for you, Leo, this is personal. New Moons are fresh starts, and this one asks you to set an intention that actually scares you a little. Not the “safe version” of your dream. The right one. The one you’ve been quietly rehearsing in your head for months. Put it out there.

Leo monthly horoscope

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

You’ve had a lot of ideas lately that felt brilliant in the moment and a little unhinged the next morning. It’s Mercury, your ruling planet, swimming through Pisces – dreamy, emotional, not exactly your element. In the middle of the week it moves into Aries and suddenly you are back. Sharp, focused, ready to fix anything within a ten-foot radius. It’s the Virgo that everyone knows and either loves or finds exhausting.

But don’t get too comfortable, because Mercury conjuncts Neptune before the week ends, and even the most detail-oriented person alive has a blind spot right now. Double check everything before you send it, sign it or say it out loud, Virgo. Trust and correctness are not always the same, and deep down you already know that.

Virgo Monthly Horoscope

Libra: September 23 – October 22

There’s a low-grade restlessness at the start of the week that you can’t quite shake—somewhere between discontent and longing, which is, frankly, your default setting. But when Venus sextiles Jupiter early in the week, something really good lands in your lap. An opportunity, a conversation, a feeling you forgot you were capable of having. Don’t overthink it in the ground before it’s even started. You have a real talent for doing that, Libra.

On Tuesday, the energy softens and your instincts become sharper about who and what really deserves your energy. You spend so much time looking at all sides of every situation that you forget that you are allowed to have a preference. This week is a good time to practice. Choose something. Choose someone. Mean it.

Libra monthly horoscope

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Pluto, your ruling planet, gets a lot of cosmic traffic this week – and you’re going to feel every knock on the door. Mars sextiles Pluto on Thursday, which is a really powerful alignment for someone who already operates at your level of intensity. The drive is there, the instincts are sharp, and anyone who’s been sleeping on you is in for a very rude awakening. Use it. This kind of focused, transformative energy doesn’t appear every week.

Friday brings a square between the Moon and Pluto, and that’s where it gets uncomfortable, Scorpio. Something you’ve been keeping under the surface wants to come out. You can try to keep the lid down, but you’re too alert not to know what happens when the pressure rises with nowhere to go. Let it out on your terms before it comes out on its own.

Sagittarius glyph

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

You’ve been running on restless energy lately, and the beginning of the week actually gives you a place to put it. Venus and the Moon both make favorable moves against your ruling planet, Jupiter, early on, and the result is real heat and momentum – the kind of week where things just seem to fall into place without you having to bullet through them. Enjoy it, Sagittarius. You don’t always have to work so hard to win.

Wednesday brings a square that will test your patience – your appetite for freedom bumps up against something that requires your full emotional attention. The temptation to just run is real, but stick with it for once. On Friday, Jupiter gets a sextile from the Moon and the good energy is back. You’ll be glad you didn’t post a bond.

Sagittarius monthly horoscope

Capricorn glyph

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

You’ve been pushing hard lately—working, planning, optimizing, competing with an earlier version of yourself like it owes you money. That’s your standard, and frankly, it’s impressive. But Saturn, your ruling planet, is in Aries right now, and the combination creates a very specific kind of pressure that even you can feel. The drive is there. The question is whether you are running towards something or just running.

On Tuesday night, the Moon joins Saturn, and feelings you’ve filed away under “deal with later” surface unannounced. You’re not good at letting people see you struggle, Capricorn, but carrying it all alone isn’t strength—it’s just a habit. An honest conversation this week could change more than you expect. Let someone in.

Capricorn Monthly Horoscope

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

Something feels off at the start of the week and you can’t quite figure it out, which is deeply annoying for someone who lives in their head as much as you. The Moon squares Uranus on Monday, and your emotions and your need for independence are basically fighting in a parking lot. Let them fight. On Tuesday, Mercury sextiles your ruling planet Uranus, and your mind is firing on all cylinders again—sharp, original, three steps ahead of everyone else in the room.

Wednesday brings a sextile between the Moon and Uranus, and that’s your sweet spot, Aquarius. Innovative thinking, genuine connection, the rare feeling of actually being understood. You spend a lot of time feeling like an outsider looking in. This week someone sees exactly who you are and finds it fascinating. Let it be enough.

Aquarius monthly horoscope

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

You’ve always lived somewhere between reality and what’s going on in your beautiful, crowded inner world—and this week, Pisces, that line gets even more blurred. Neptune, your ruling planet, is in Aries and Mars conjuncts it early in the week. The result is a dreamy, charged energy that makes everything feel cinematic and a little overwhelming. Your imagination is on high, which is either your greatest gift or your worst enemy right now, depending on how grounded you can stay.

The Moon and then Mercury both conjunct Neptune as the week progresses, adding more feeling and more fog to an already hazy forecast. Beautiful ideas float around you, but so are beautiful delusions. Before you make any big moves, ask yourself an honest question: is this intuition, or is it just what you want to be true?
