April 2022 Horoscopes: Leading From the Heart; Grounding in the Body
Hello dear ones,
First off I want to share some exciting news with you!
I am very excited to announce that this month’s horoscopes feature a tarot card reading for each Zodiac sign. Each card was selected by Wyld Lee, a local ‘Divinatrix’ who specializes in transformation and rebirth work for those who are ready to change their lives.
You can learn more about Wyld Lee and her work at WyldLeeTarot.com or on all the social media spaces @wyldleetarot. Wyld offers mini readings the second Friday of each moonth at MoonMountain Highway if you would like a taste of her magic.
This Month’s Major Astrological Themes
This month is all about letting your heart, your intuition, and your subconscious guide you home to grounded sensations of your body.
Connection and imagination are everywhere you look this April …thanks to the softening Piscean influences acting upon Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune.
Pisces energy in these planets beckons you to explore your feelings and the feelings of those around you…it also calls upon you to adjust your worldview to include other realities.
Boundaries thin and dissolve like paper in water this month. Making you feel limitless.
Reality seems more tenuous and expansive than usual this month as your subconscious works overtime envisioning spectacular fantasies of the future, inspiring art and making your life feel more like a movie than reality.
When Mars and Venus both enter Pisces you’ll become supercharged with emotions and will need to lean into your endurance.
Luckily the Libra full moon and the start of Taurus season arrive just in time to bring out the social, sexual, and sensual parts of yourself. It’ll feel nice to get dressed up, go on a date, and blow off some steam by having some steamy sex.
When the moon enters Pisces along with Venus, Mars, and Jupiter on the 26th, you’ll be in for a psychedelic trip through the subconscious universe that will prepare you for the partial solar eclipse in Taurus at the end of the month.
Ask yourself: What do I want to do on this earth?
Key Astrological Transits in April
Aries New Moon
When: April 5th, 2022
Clarity arrives with the Aries new moon, and not a moment too soon. Your emotions are a clue. What angers you is a clue. Put on your detective cap. What are you passionate about?
Venus in Pisces
When: April 5th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Libra, Pisces
Intimacy is a deep river that flows towards the heart. Swim with the current instead of fighting against the tide and you’ll be flowing in the direction of love. Optimism and gratitude comes easily in your relationships this month.
Mercury in Taurus
When: April 10th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Gemini
Communications become slow and deliberate for a time. Mercury in Taurus is all about exploring the feelings of “YES” and “NO” in your body. Learn to tell the difference and be clear in your communications. If you do not honor your body’s needs it will come back to bite you. If you don’t know yet, say “I don’t know.” Don’t pressure yourself into giving an answer you might regret. Embrace the power of silence. Embrace the power of not needing to have a snappy comeback. Embrace the power of letting things go. Your long held feelings and opinions are a reminder of your endurance.
Jupiter and Neptune Conjunction in Pisces
When: April 12th, 2022 Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces.
Jupiter is in Pisces until May 2022, and Neptune is in Pisces until 2026.
Signs Most Affected: Sagittarius, Pisces
Transcend to find your meaning and purpose in life.
These two planets are joining up in the water kingdom for salty daydreamy days, expanding our ability to heal, open our hearts, embrace optimism and to connect with others.
Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces allows our spiritual imagination and healing powers to awaken so that we can learn to know our higher selves. This knowingness of our higher selves allows us to hold on to our sense of compassion, opening us up to curiosity, creativity, spirituality, and intuitive inspiration.
During this time we turn to our subconscious for answers and embrace our softness, compassion, and psychic visions. Messages and inspiration flow easily and endlessly in the form of symbols, visions, and dreams.
How to use this transit to grow wiser: Attune to your higher self and engage in the mindful and meaningful introspection. Some may experience this transit as an increased desire to escape reality rather than heal it. Those prone to delusions may find their pull strengthened. My advice? Instead of living in a delusion, make your reality worth living in.
Mars in Pisces
When: April 14th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Aries, Scorpio, Pisces
The God of war, aggression, and ambition shows off his romantic side this month when he enters into the sign of vulnerability and dreams. Mars knows how to be strategic in love and chooses intimate moments with care because he is aware of his own vulnerability. Love, power, sex, and emotions thrive when they are allowed to flow from you at thier own pace. Mars in Pisces teaches us how to lead with our hearts.
Full Moon in Libra
When: April 16th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Libra, Cancer
The full moon in Libra fills the sails of our libido with an invigorating Spring breeze. But wandering eyes and indecisiveness may cause trouble. If you’re trying to be single and partnered at the same time your bound to be headed for some drama. Instead of stringing someone along or ghosting your date, just communicate the truth of what’s going on.
Taurus Season Beings
When: April 19th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Taurus, the down to earth lover of life’s little luxuries, instinctively knows how to take life at the pace that suits them. Take time to smell the spring flowers this month. Listen to your body and give it what it needs. Plant spring seeds for summer food. Eat fancy cheeses. Buy a feather duster. Invest in a new mattress. Spend a weekend at a B&B. Make investment purchases for yourself. Enjoy the steady forward push that Spring has to offer.
Mercury in Gemini
When: April 29th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Mercury returns home to chatty, dynamic Gemini where Gemini’s chameleon charisma is on full display. This is a very harmonious transit that awakens the social butterfly within.
Pluto Retrograde 28° in Capricorn
When: April 29th, 2022 - October 8th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, Scorpio
While Pluto is in Capricorn karmic matters of career, money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power take center stage.
And you better watch yourself, dear ones, because Pluto RX is a time when a lot of people start pointing the finger.
Pluto RX can lead to us projecting our beliefs onto others because it can often feel more comfortable to confirm our own bias than to face difficult truths. But if we settle for confirmation bias then we lose out on opportunities to uncover deeper truths.
Pluto Rx is a good time to work on healing and parenting your inner child. It’s time to let go of old dynamics, love triangles, and emotional hang ups.
Do you know the 3 R’s of surviving retrograde? Remember, Reflect, and Reframe (or Revise).

Taurus Solar Eclipse
When: April 30th, 2022 partial solar eclipse in Taurus (The Taurus and Scorpio sister sign eclipse cycle began on November 19th, 2021, and will continue throughout 2022 and into 2023.)
Signs most affected: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius
Eclipses always fall on a new or full moon and are considered to be super-charged versions of those lunar events. Eclipses mean new beginnings, intensity, big feelings, big shifts, and big changes.
Eclipses in the fixed sign of Taurus indicate shifts around structures, daily routines, and responsibilities associated with sensuality, material needs, financial security, and bodily autonomy.
Use the eclipses in Taurus to get your new green sustainable business a boost, ditch the social media time for cuddle time, get grounded in nature, and get in touch with your senses.

Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection
Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.
Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Happy Birthday Aries!
Last month you learned that intuition can reveal hidden truths.
This month you’re getting clarity around your emotions, boundaries, dreams, and your own capacity. As an Aries, you have the superhuman ability to move through strong feelings quickly. Your emotions are clues this month. What are they telling you?
Take advantage of the clarity brought about by the new moon in Aries, because on the 14th, piscean influences on your ruling planet Mars may make it hard to focus on reality as your mind desires to wander into the realm of fantasy. Then the Libra full moon on the 16th will have you jumping back into the social fray. You’re looking hawt so enjoy it.
Towards the end of the month systemic and bureaucratic obstacles may attempt to block your way thanks to Saturn and Pluto. Pluto going RX on the 29th will affect you more than others. Take it at your own pace, this transit will last five months and it’s a great opportunity to go Sherlock Holmes on yourself and start healing your inner child.

However when Mercury enters Taurus on the 10th, followed by your ruling planet, the Sun on the 18th, you’ll be in for some big changes in the public roles you fulfill. Now is the time to write that Oscar acceptance speech if that’s what you want, but chances are it’s not that simple. \
You’re being called to answer your higher calling this month, and if your work is getting in the way, chances are you might need to relinquish some of your public roles or reinvent those roles to fit this need.

So when the criticism starts circling it’s time to ask yourself, is this criticism constructive? Can accepting this criticism make me better? If not…let it go because it serves no purpose other than to make you doubt yourself.
As a Virgo you have the almost superhuman ability to use your creativity to serve others. Mars and Venus enter your sister sign Pisces later this month, lighting up your seventh house of relationships and relationship to self. This is an important opportunity to deepen the intimacy and creative partnerships in your life. Embrace this gift.

Ask yourself, what kind of creative partnerships excite you?
