Weekly Horoscope:April 7 to April 13, 2024

Your weekly horoscope is here. Get your eclipse glasses ready; a new moon on Monday will throw shade across much of the USA as it gets between the radiant sun and us here on Earth. This is a spectacular and relatively rare celestial phenomenon, so catch it if you can. Check your ego at the door to observe what emerges in the shadows as the sun momentarily blinks out. Chiron, ‘the wounded healer,’ is aligned with this eclipse, so be gentle with yourself while also standing up for yourself or those who lack the agency to do so for themselves. Eclipses tend to mark the end of an era as we leap towards the next. What is ending, and what is beginning for you during this period?

Read on to discover your weekly horoscope and what’s in store for your sign during the week of April 7 through April 13, 2024.

AriesThe dramatics of your season continue this week with a solar eclipse accompanying Monday’s new moon in your sign. Eclipses can drive home a point if there’s something you’ve been resisting, so embrace the changes. You’ll feel internally guided towards the direction you’re moving or drawn to; honor yourself and pursue your calling. It’s time to head in a new direction, revamp your look, or activate all systems “go” on your Aries fire Queen nature—assertive, pioneering, and independent. A part of you may require healing, so give yourself love and acceptance as you go. Since it’s a new moon, consider drafting a list of intentions if you dare.

TaurusYour dreamscape may hold the keys to questions you’ve been pondering lately, and it could render itself in a particularly vivid and entertaining way. Definitely jot them down upon waking or dictate them into your phone. Monday’s new moon and solar eclipse suggest revelations of a mystical kind—those messages can be hard to read and decipher, especially if your own subconscious ghosts you as soon as you open your eyes. Stay attuned to your inner world and pioneer an interface that you can build on. Red for no and green for go—symbols, colors, and details chosen by you will create your version of Morse code for your subconscious to send you vital intel.

GeminiIt’s time to wrap up an era or aspect of the way you approached friendships, groups, or scenes and initiate the next phase. Perhaps you’re ready to create and formalize your squad, class, or events. While the new moon and eclipse signal you’re embarking on a new track, Mercury is still retrograde. The view or map may not be entirely clear, so keep refining that vision, plan, and take feasible steps forward. A friend may turn to you for healing, or sensitivities around belonging may surface, urging integration and letting go—a new friend or circle that supports your aspirations is of benefit if that’s the destiny that greets you over this period. Do your due diligence until the month’s end, then go for it!

CancerThis week, reboot how you present yourself to your circle as the moon obscures the sun dramatically on Monday in a notable eclipse over the USA. Witness the event at 2:21 pm Eastern, but only with eclipse glasses to protect your sensitive eyes. “New moon, new you” could be your motto. This eclipse emphasizes your public persona, so expect a refresh in your socials, career, and vocational direction. With Mercury retrograde in your career sphere, consider returning to the drawing board on an idea, and tweaking it as you go as new intel comes to light, rather than committing immediately. Towards month’s end as clarity prevails, ignite your plan.

LeoInternational connections or big plans may be entering a fresh phase as a new moon and eclipse shake up your sphere of expansion. Are study plans taking you to the next level? Start inquiring, follow up, and see what steps will take you from point A to point B. One phase of your journey is coming to an end in a positive way. What you thought was good enough may have reached its expiration date by now, so take the hint and go where the fresh winds blow. In a harmonious aspect to your sign, this dramatic eclipse makes it easy to direct change and step up your entrepreneurial and pioneering skills. Leverage where you can or jump ship on what doesn’t translate. Check your map and reroute as you go since Mercury is still retrograde.

VirgoThe lights don’t just dim in your sphere of intimacy and secrets; they go out as the new moon eclipses the sun on its way past on Monday. Head out to catch the celestial lights and watch them do their thing at 2:21 pm Eastern. Over this period, note what emerges when no one is looking. That could be a part of yourself, someone else, or just the vibe you’re picking up on. As they say, when one sense is turned down, the others turn up. So feel your way. Adventure mysteries may appeal over this period, so binge a good book or series to scratch that itch and see if you can stay a step ahead of the reveals. If art mirrors life and you’re picking up on what people don’t know they’re revealing, gather intel and keep it close to your chest for now since Mercury is still retrograde.

LibraIt’s a new moon and a solar eclipse opposite your sign, in Aries, so look to the mirror of your relationships for seeds of wisdom, change, and a fresh take. What could benefit from a new approach? Is it an internal systems reboot, attitude alignment, or an external person coming into or out of your life (or both)? Perhaps the people you measured yourself against aren’t the yardstick you should be comparing yourself to. In fact, that could limit your potential because really, the sky’s the limit. Outworn patterns, behaviors, or beliefs? Toss them into the eclipse tunnel behind you and don’t look back. This is a new cycle, so set your intentions with the new moon for what you want to experience and who you want to be in relation to others and yourself.

ScorpioWork and wellness routines get the eclipse treatment as the cosmic lights flicker out over the USA this Monday just after lunch, Eastern Time. There is a lot of action and focus in this area for your sign this month; however, it’s the peak of intensity now. Fuel up with energy by initiating, taking the lead, and taking a few risks too. Let off steam in a way that’s healthy and productive so you can savor time on the couch or in that yin yoga pose when it’s rest time. Mercury is still retrograde, so circling back and picking up any loose threads of intel, or at least keeping a tab open for incoming, is essential right now. Yes, take action while adding to your notes as information arises. What is it time to say goodbye to, and which door are you walking through with a light yet determined heart?

SagittariusYour thought process may not be the direct one-shot approach you prefer, but take it back a notch and keep reviewing, researching, or rewriting because Mercury is still retrograde. This period benefits your sign with less drama than some; just apply a little patience while continuing to work on a fresh new idea. If it’s creative, romantic, or entrepreneurial, you get bonus points. Monday’s eclipse focuses on the same topics and hyper-jumps ideas, situations, and possibilities—as long as you’re willing to jettison what has to go in order to gain speed, direction, or opportunity. This could be beliefs, ideas, or just the old tried and true way for how it’s ‘always been done’. Innovate your way to the top, Sagittarius.

CapricornDomesticity, home, and your roots are in the eye of this week’s solar eclipse and new moon moment on Monday. Steer any drama into a productive, actionable direction to use the energy positively. Take the time and space you need and be sure to give others theirs if tensions run a little hot. Passion is the name of the game, so what are you ready to fuel your inner flame with? Initiating a family or private, personal project, or even planning a move? Starting something new from a home office, even if that’s the kitchen countertop? Go for it, Capricorn. Big or small, get the wheels rolling while inspiration and energy are fired up. If this one has you feeling drained, rest and return to the basics of what fuels your initiative and really gets you going.

AquariusWhen you’re social, you’re at your best, and this week you’re on fire with civic enthusiasm. Feed the flames of your initiative by noting what you’re ready to get involved with in your local area. This is less international and more about your immediate environment, or at least your local community. Monday’s new moon and solar eclipse blot out the sun over much of the USA, so note what you feel as the daylight hits the cosmic dimmer switch. The sun represents ego, while the moon represents instincts and emotions—that’s exactly where the best insights are found. What shifts occur within or around you this week? Any clues in the buildup or do you suddenly pick up fresh inspiration? Find your people and consider lending your skills, if not your leadership.

PiscesOn Monday just after lunch Eastern Time, an eclipse moves over the USA, so find out if it’s visible in your area to catch this rare event. Be present in the moment and take a mystic, mindful approach to this astronomical phenomenon. Does the vibe change? Do the birds go silent? Do you feel calm or a quickening? Does anything come up for you emotionally? How about around you this week? Activating your financial sphere could be a new dawn regarding what you bring to the job that you actually get paid for. Natural talent is one thing, and we all have to start somewhere (so start), but development can take you everywhere. Commit to polishing your many talents and refining them so you have a focal point to start with.
