ZOE MOON ASTROLOGY APRIL MONTHLY HOROSCOPES 2022

 

ZOE MOON ASTROLOGY APRIL MONTHLY HOROSCOPES 2022

Happy April! We have 6 areas of life illuminating this month so let’s take a look.

ONE: We have a NEW MOON in Aries on the 1st. This opens up opportunities to show up and get more focused on our bodies, image, brand, name, title, identity, or personal needs and to take steps to start something new or take current interests into next chapters with cosmic boost behind us over the next 2 weeks.

TWO: Mars and Venus will both move into Pisces while the biggest conjunction of our lifetimes occurs between Pisces rulers; Jupiter and Neptune, in this sign! That’s a whole lot going on with art, film, music, poetry, dance, romance, prayer, meditation, yoga, secrets, research, investigation, recuperation, addictions, or institutions for everyone. Venus enters this territory on the 5th through May 2nd and brings love, pleasure, income, or beauty to these areas of life. Mars enters this territory on the 14th through May 24th and brings passion, anger, fights, motivation, or action to what’s possible here. And finally, Jupiter and Neptune merge on the 12th to launch us into a new story bringing growth, over-the-top experiences, adventure, travel, distant, foreign, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political interests together with situations without boundaries, that are secretive, inspired, magical, spiritual, romantic, artistic, institutional, addictive, about water, the research, investigations, or institutions together.

THREE: A FULL MOON on the 16th is bringing things to a climax with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, advocates, or with balance, justice or higher esthetics. We now wrap things up, celebrate, mark endings, or achieve goals here.

FOUR: We have a lot going on in Taurus. Mercury enters this sign on the 10th followed by the Sun entering this territory on the 19th and a powerful New Moon Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees of Taurus on the 30th. So, Taurus is about what we value, how we are valued, our income, possessions, products, and purchases. Mercury in this territory should open up more conversations, meetings, sales, writing, short trips, local activities, offers, or decisions about these topics. The Sun should get us more personally or physically involved and pursuing our interests here. The New Moon Solar Eclipse should then give us a powerful boost forward into something new or next chapter over the weeks ahead, possibly helping us eclipse out something that blocks this forward movement if needed.

FIVE: Pluto Retrogrades on the 29th and will be in do-over mode now through Oct 8th. This is about readdressing any financial, sexual, reproductive, birth, death, divorce, criminal, or third-party matters over the months ahead. It allows time to release, rekindle or rework something here with an aim on a personal goal in the mix, what’s happening with our career, status, fame, or with a boss, parent, judge, or other authority figure.

SIX: Mercury heads into Gemini on the 29th where he will Retrograde on May 10th so we are entering a longer story with this energy. This begins to focus on talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, flirtations, vehicles, electronics, moves, siblings, neighbors, short trips, local activities, duality, diplomacy, offers, or decisions in the weeks ahead. Forward we go for now.

ARIES:
First off, Aries, this month kicks off with a New Moon in your sign on the 1st. This opens up the next 2 weeks for forward momentum regarding you and your interests. Make the most of it. You could start something new for your health, get involved in something personal, focus on your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs, and really get some momentum behind what you do.

Second this month, there’s quite a lot going on in your 12th house. You may be using this month to rest and recuperate, to get away romantically with someone, to focus on artistic or spiritual interests, kick a bad habit or addiction, deal with a secret or deception, or focus on research, investigations or institutions. Venus enters this territory on the 5th and will bring love, money, beauty, or pleasure to these arenas over the weeks ahead, until May 2nd. Mars enters this territory on the 14th and will spend the weeks ahead bringing a lot more action, passion, fights, or motivating forces regarding these topics through May 24th. And on the 12th we have the once-in-a-lifetime merger of Jupiter and Neptune in this territory, kicking off a major new story for you in these areas of life regarding growth, happiness, prosperity, and any way that travel, distant, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political themes might play into what you are doing. This will unfold in the years ahead so do pay attention to what is calling you now and take what steps you are comfortable with to get the ball rolling.

The third area of life getting attention this month is your relationship zone which is where the Full Moon will peak on the 16th. This brings something to a climax with partners, clients, specialists, representatives, competitors, opponents, advocates, or other such relationships. You may be wrapping things up, celebrating, marking an ending, or achieving a goal here as things culminate.

The fourth area of focus this month is about your income, purchases, possessions, or products. Mercury enters this territory on the 10th opening up the next few weeks with more talks, interviews, offers, agreements, sales, writing, short trips, or decisions about these matters. The Sun moves into this zone on the 19th putting you in the spotlight regarding income, purchases, possessions, or products. This is your 30-day period to get more personally or physically involved, to take the lead and make it about your interests here while you shine. Finally, on the 30th there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in this zone at which point you can launch into something brand new or take your current situation into that next chapter over the next 2 weeks. If something needs to be eclipsed out to make way for this new beginning then it can be now.

The fifth area of focus this month is the Pluto Retrograde. Pluto Retrogrades on the 29th and will be taking you back over old ground now through Oct 8th. This is time to reevaluate topics of financial, sexual, reproductive, birth, death, divorce, or third-party influences impacting your goals, career or around a boss, parent, judge, mentor, or other authority figure. If you need to revisit, rekindle, release, or rework something here this is the period to do so.

And finally, the sixth area of focus in April is Mercury moving into Gemini on the 29th. This means the last few days of the month are more communicative or flirtatious, more inquisitive or community oriented, or more about sales, writing, short trips, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, or electronics. Mercury will Retrograde in this sign on May 10th so keep it in mind, much of what is moving forward now will be revisited up ahead.

If you need to eclipse something out to make room for what comes next this can help you do so.

The fifth area getting attention this month focuses on Pluto as he shifts in the sky and goes Retrograde on the 29th.

SCORPIO:
Happy April, Scorpio! The month focuses on 6 areas of life. The first is your zone of work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, and co-workers. This gets a major boost on the 1st with a New Moon in this territory. You can now start something new or take current interests into what comes next over the next 2 weeks with these topics, knowing you have a cosmic boost behind what you do.

Second, there’s a lot going on in Pisces which is your zone of true love and lovers, creative ventures, children, and recreation. Venus enters this zone on the 5th and tours here until May 2nd, Mars enters on the 14th touring here until May 24th, and the once-in-a-lifetime conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune occurs here on the 12th! So, Venus is about bringing more love, income, beauty, or pleasure in the weeks ahead into these areas of life, while Mars is about bringing more passion, fight, motivation, or action here in the weeks ahead. The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction starts a major new story with lovers, kids, creativity, or fun, with Jupiter bringing growth, happiness, prosperity, or any legal agreements, travel plans, educational pursuits, media ventures, ceremonies, religious interests, or political agendas into the story, while Neptune brings dreams, romance, artistry, spirituality, research, or institutions into the story. Really look at what could unfold in the years ahead here and take steps towards what you want.

The third area of focus is on these artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research topics as a Full Moon brings a climax to one or more of these areas by the 16th. At this point you could be wrapping things up, celebrating, marking an ending, or achieving here. It’s likely a partner, client, specialist, representative, competitor, advocate, or other such individual plays a part in what peaks now.

The fourth area of influence is your relationship zone. This can be about partners, clients, specialists, representatives, competitors, advocates, or other such connections. Mercury heads into this zone on the 10th and tours here until the 29th, the Sun enters on the 19th for a 30-day tour, and there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse here on the 30th. So, Mercury should open up weeks of more talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, local activities, or decisions with or about these relationships. The Sun kicks off 30 days of spotlight on you with them and helps you show up, get involved and pursue your interests with or through them. The New Moon Solar Eclipse opens up 2 weeks of very powerful forward momentum with these partners, clients, specialists, representatives, competitors, advocates, and the like, helping you to start something new or take your current situation into what comes next. If you need to eclipse something to begin anew with these folks then it can help you do so.

The fifth area of focus this month is on your ruling planet, Pluto. He Retrogrades on the 29th and will be taking you back over old ideas, talks, meetings, sales, moves, writing, short trips, local activities, offers, or decisions now through Oct 8th to figure out where you are with financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, death, birth, or third-party matters. You may rekindle, release or rework things during this period. If you need to readdress old jealousy, obsession, manipulations, or other such challenging topics here it can help you do this as well.

Finally, the sixth area of focus is on Mercury heading into Gemini on the 29th and turning your thoughts, talks, meetings, sales, writing, offers, or decisions to financial matters, sexual interests, reproductive needs, birth, death, divorce, or third-party situations. Yes, you have an overlap between Pluto Retrograde themes and this placement of Mercury in Gemini so it seems the cosmos really wants you focusing on something here. Mercury will Retrograde May 10th so whatever you are starting to focus on now also takes you back over old ground up ahead, pace yourself.

SAGITTARIUS:
Happy April, Sage! There are 6 areas of life illuminated by the stars this month so let’s take a look. First, the month kicks off with a New Moon on the 1st in your zone of creative ventures, lovers, kids, and recreational pursuits. You now have 2 weeks of cosmic boost behind what you do about starting something new or taking current interests into what comes next here so be proactive.

Second, there’s a lot going on in Pisces this month which means more focus on artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, recuperative, or research interests at home, about real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates. Venus heads into this zone on the 5th through May 2nd, Mars arrives on the 14th and tours here until May 24th, and the once-in-a-lifetime merger of Jupiter and Neptune in this zone occurs on the 12th. Venus should be bringing more love, income, beauty, or pleasure in these areas of life over the weeks ahead. Mars should fire up more passion, fight, motivation, or action here over the weeks ahead. The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction launches a bold new story that is expansive, growth-oriented, about happiness or prosperity, involves legal, travel, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political themes into the story at home, with family, roommates, moves, renovations, real estate deals, or parents (Jupiter), and brings artistic, spiritual, institutional, romantic, or research interests into the story (Neptune). Really look at the potential with this combo and do your part to start off in a direction that suits you as it will be a story unfolding in the years ahead.

The third area of life being activated this month is your social, online and aspirational arena which is where the Full Moon on the 16th culminates. This means you could be celebrating, wrapping things up, marking endings, or achieving goals with friends, associates, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, or original projects around this time. It’s likely a partner, client, specialist, representative, competitor, advocate, or other such relationship plays a big part in what is climaxing here at this point.

The Fourth area of life getting a boost is your zone of work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, and co-workers. Mercury arrives in this zone on the 10th through the 29th, the Sun joins in on the 19th for a 30-day spin, and there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse here on the 30th. So, Mercury brings more ideas, talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, or decisions about these topics. The Sun helps you show up and get more personally or physically involved while pursuing your interests here. The New Moon Solar Eclipse opens up 2 weeks of powerful forward movement helping you to start something new or take a current interest into what comes next. If you need to eclipse something out to make this fresh start get under way it can help you do that as well.

The fifth area of focus is on Pluto Retrograding on the 29th. This is a shift in energy direction as you are now heading into a do-over with financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party needs playing out with possessions, purchases, income, products, or your values now through Oct 8th. This period can help you to let things go, reconnect with the past for another shot at something or rework an ongoing situation.

Finally, the sixth focus this month is on Mercury heading into Gemini on the 29th. This means you’ll be in more talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions focused on partners, clients, specialists, reps, competitors, advocates, or other relationships in the weeks ahead. Do note that Mercury will Retrograde here on May 10th so you’ll be slowing down and rethinking, rekindling, releasing, or reworking something once that arrives.

CAPRICORN:
Happy April, Capricorn! There are 6 areas of life illuminated by the stars this month so let’s take a look. First, the month kicks off with a New Moon on the 1st in your zone of home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, history, security, and roommates. This opens up 2 weeks of forward momentum that can help you to start something brand new or to take your current situations into new directions or next chapters. Since this is Aries energy do your part to motivate yourself and put your interests out there in these areas.

Second on the list is what is happening in your 3rd house of talks, meetings, sales, and writing, offers, agreements, ideas, and decisions, as well as siblings, neighbors, moves, vehicles, electronics, short trips, and local activities! Venus enters this territory on the 5th and tours here until May 2nd, Jupiter and Neptune merge here in a momentous conjunction on the 12th and Mars enters this territory on the 14th and stays until May 24th. So, Venus is doing her part to make these conversations, meetings, flirtations, offers, sales, etc, about true love, making money, beauty, or pleasures. She can help you smooth out issues or enjoy yourself more here. Mars is firing things up and getting you busier than you’ve been in a couple years in these areas of life. He may bring more passion, motivation, fights, or actions over the weeks ahead. And finally, Jupiter and Neptune are meeting the one and only time in our lifetimes in this zone to give us a brand new story that will unfold in the years ahead. Jupiter wants growth, happiness or prosperity and may bring legal agreements, travel, foreign interests, distant situations, media, marketing, higher education, ceremonies, religion, or politics into it. Neptune wants the imagination involved and no boundaries to what you are doing and may bring artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research interests into the story. So, look at how this might play out for you by linking the different topics together. Do be cautious that you don’t go too overboard and over extend yourself and watch out for secrets, deceptions, water issues, or addictions in the mix, otherwise it’s all about what comes next in these areas.

The third area of focus this month is on the Libra Full Moon on the 16th. This is about what is building and then culminating for you with key individuals about your personal goals, career, status, fame, reputation, or what’s going on with authority figures. So, you may be wrapping something up with clients on the career front or celebrating with a partner about a goal achieved or marking an achievement with the attention a representative has brought to your status/reputation or fame, or ending something with a parent, boss, judge, or other authority figure. It’s about wrap-ups, endings, achievements, or celebrations as you reach your zenith with these topics.

The fourth topic this month is about your 5th house of true love, children, creative ventures, and recreational pursuits. Mercury enters this zone on the 10th and tours here until the 29th. He opens up more news, talks, meetings, flirtations, offers, short trips, writing, sales, agreements, or decisions here over this period. The Sun enters this zone on the 19th for a 30 day tour. This puts a spotlight on you and your interests in these areas, helps you to stand out, make it about what you want or get you more personally or physically involved so make the most of it Capricorn! Finally, there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 30th in this same arena of lovers, kids, creativity, and fun. This is a big push forward from the cosmos helping you to launch into something brand new or take your current interests into what comes next over these next 2 weeks. It is 3 times more powerful than a normal New Moon and can help you to eclipse something out if need be to make way for this fresh start.

Fifth on the list is Pluto. He is in your sign, as you most likely are well aware of since his entry into Capricorn in 2008. On the 29th he Retrogrades and will be shifting to start taking you back over old territory until Oct 8th. This is the time to purge things that you’ve been stuck with physically or personally, it can help you reevaluate your personal or physical needs financially, sexually, reproductively, hormonally, or in ways that divorce, crime, power, control, jealousy, obsessions, birth, death, or third-parties have contributed to how you are evolving. If you need to make this about your name, title, brand, image, body, identity, or needs, these months ahead can help you make changes as you reassess what you want.

Finally, the sixth area of focus this month is about Mercury entering your zone of work, health and animals, as well as co-workers, hired help or paperwork. You may now get into more talks, meetings, sales, offers, or decisions about these topics or take short trips, get busy locally, involve siblings, neighbors, moves, electronics, or vehicles in what you are doing here. Mercury will be moving this forward until May 10th at which point Mercury Retrograde kicks in bringing people or situations from the past back around or allowing you to reassess what is going on to rework or release things so move forward now with this in mind, you’ll be coming back around to things up ahead.

PISCES:
Happy April, Pisces! There are 6 areas of life illuminated by the stars this month so let’s take a look. First, the month kicks off with a New Moon on the 1st in your zone of personal income, purchases, possessions, products, pleasures, values, and being valued. This opens up 2 weeks of forward momentum for you if you are proactive about starting something new or taking current situations into what comes next. Don’t be afraid to tie your image, brand, name, or title to this or to get physically involved in moving this forward.

Second on the list is what is happening in your sign, Pisces! Venus enters Pisces on the 5th and tours here until May 2nd, Jupiter and Neptune merge here in a momentous conjunction on the 12th and Mars enters this territory on the 14th and stays until May 24th. So, Venus is doing her part to bring true love, money, beauty, or pleasures to you via your image, brand, name, title, physical activities, ego driven goals, or personal needs. She can help you smooth out issues or enjoy yourself more here. Mars is firing things up and getting you busier than you’ve been in a couple years on a personal or physical level. He may bring more passion, motivation, fights, or actions over the weeks ahead so you’ll need to be conscious of how you are coming off to folks since you have that spark right now. And finally, Jupiter and Neptune are meeting the one and only time in our lifetimes in Pisces to give us a brand new story that will unfold in the years ahead. Again, it’s about you. Jupiter wants growth, happiness or prosperity and may bring legal agreements, travel, foreign interests, distant situations, media, marketing, higher education, ceremonies, religion, or politics into it. Neptune wants the imagination involved and no boundaries to what you are doing and may bring artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research interests into the story. So, look at how this might play out for you by linking the different topics together. Do be cautious that you don’t go too overboard and overextend yourself and watch out for secrets, deceptions, water issues, or addictions in the mix, otherwise it’s all about what comes next for you and it could be really big.

The third area of focus is the Full Moon on the 16th in your power zone. In the days leading up to this and on this day emotions build and then culminate with something that is either wrapping up, celebrated, ending, or achieved. The focus for you is on personal power, deep changes, evolving stories, shared experiences, loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or other financial affairs, sexual attractions, sexual issues, reproductive needs, hormonal matters, birth, death, divorce, jealousy, obsessions, manipulations, or third-party situations. It’s intense! Expect a partner, client, competitor, specialist, agent, attorney, or other such individual to play a part in what is peaking in one of these areas now.

The fourth area of focus is on your 3rd house of commerce, communication, community, siblings, neighbors, moves, transportation, and electronics. First, Mercury enters this zone on the 10th and tours here through the 29th. This brings a quickening to the talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, local activities, moves, vehicles, electronics, siblings, or neighbors and what’s going on here. There may be some back and forth or duality or diplomacy involved, or it could be about flirtations or choices coming up. The Sun heads into this zone on the 19th for a 30 day tour. This is your cue to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these talks or meetings, sales or writing, short trips or local activities, moves, interviews, offers, or decisions. It can help you stand out, make it about your interests and take the lead. Finally, there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in this territory on the 30th. This is 3 times more powerful than a typical New Moon and is opening up 2 weeks of forward momentum to help you start something new or take current interests into what comes next with these talks, meetings, sales, writing projects, short trips, local activities, interviews, auditions, offers, agreements, vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, moves, or decisions. If you need to eclipse something out to make way for what comes next it can help you with that as well.

The fifth area of focus is on Pluto. Pluto is going to Retrograde on the 29th and take you back over old territory now through Oct 8th. This means you may be revisiting power, control, financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party stories over these months with friends, associates, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, or regarding aspirations or original projects. It’s a do-over so see what you’d like to reconnect with from the past, what you would like to release past or present, or what you could rework past or present to get it right here.

Finally, the sixth area of focus this month is Mercury entering Gemini on the 29th. This is your zone of home, family, real estate deals, moves, renovations, parents, and roommates so you may now hear more news, get into talks, meetings, sales, or agreements, take more short trips or get busy locally, involve siblings, neighbors, electronics, or transportation, or field offers or make decisions about it. Mercury is moving you forward with it but will enter his Retrograde in this territory on May 10th at which point you’ll start back over some of this to reassess, release, rekindle, or rework, so pace yourself!
