April 2023 Astrology Forecast and Love Tips For Every Zodiac Sign

April promises new opportunities to reset and revive us during the Sun in Aries. We enter April with the element of fire, which helps transform and change things that no longer serve us. It is a great cycle to let go of the past and redesign how we do things. In the area of our love connections, the element of fire can serve to release old patterns as well as ignite the passion which helps liven up dormant romance. If your love life has sizzled and become mundane, this is an excellent period to awaken things.

April 2023 Monthly Astrological Forecast

Sun in Aries (March 21 – April 20) brings us a strong need to confront things that get in our way. We lack, at times, the ability to monitor events before acting, which at times can be disastrous, especially if we lack all the information. On the other hand, the Sun in Aries prevents us from letting our fears dominate our actions, which is excellent when exploring new relationships or taking the initiative in existing ones.

When the Sun enters Taurus (April 21 – May 20), we face the element of Earth, which provides us with stability and reduces our tendency to jump into things without caution. During the Sun in Taurus, we tend to become less impulsive and instead learn to assess the situation before reacting. Taurus is ruled by Venus, who enjoys the finer things in life and prefers to take in the ambiance rather than dash through things.

We shall review the aspects of their general influence before diving into the specific Sun signs. Always remember that regardless of the challenges, there are ways to navigate and improve situations which is why I have also included the best dates for taking specific actions.

Love Aspects as Influenced by the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Sun Signs Transits

Pink Full Moon in Libra - April 6, 2023

Libra is an Air sign ruled by Venus. The combination of Venus and the Moon creates a need for a happy relationship, often at the expense of expressing one's needs to avoid conflict. Libra prefers harmony over confrontation, which makes the Full Moon an ideal time to create balance and harmony in areas that are not working for us.

Moon ritual: Pink candle and rose quartz. Meditate on releasing things that block you from achieving balance and harmony concerning yourself and others.

Mercury in Taurus – April 3, 2023 – June 11, 2023

Mercury is direct at the beginning of April and then goes retrograde starting on April 21. The aspects of Mercury in Taurus make us more grounded and less flighty in how we communicate or express our ideas and feelings. We are a bit more mindful and less chatty. We think before we act and often take time to make decisions. Mercury in Taurus can be challenging for couples since there are tendencies to hesitate when expressing feelings of love or affection, giving the impression that you don't care. The hesitation comes from several sources, but often not from a lack of love.

Here’s an outline of the Mercury stages in Taurus:

• Direct Mercury Taurus - April 4 until April 20, 2023
  While the transit in Mercury in Taurus is Direct, expect communication to be fluid and calm, intentional and not aggressive. The mindset of Mercury in Taurus is to focus and take mindful actions to avoid disaster.
  
  
• Retrograde Mercury Taurus - April 21 until May 14, 2023
  The Mercury Retrograde in Taurus creates an energy that is slower and more hesitant than desired. Expect delays and vital questions left unanswered for extended periods. It can be a truly frustrating cycle, especially for couples trying to mend fences.

Venus in Taurus - March 17, 2023 - April 11, 2023

Venus in Taurus gives us a feeling of stability and commitment in our relationships. Our connections with others feel solid and stable and provide us with a sense we are building a future. Though Taurus is ruled by Venus, love is not always verbally expressed but demonstrated in subtle actions that may not always be obvious to others. Venus in Taurus allows us to enjoy romantic evenings that are memorable but not always over the top. Remember, the key with Venus in Taurus is consistency, reliability, and a slow dance of the senses.

Venus in Gemini - April 12, 2023 – May 7, 2023

Venus in Gemini allows us to enjoy an element of variety and spontaneity. During this cycle, we tend to seek more adventures and things to stimulate our minds. Our connection to others is packed with interesting conversations, an exchange of ideas, and a strong need to explore new horizons. The energy in Venus in Gemini can be both super fun and sometimes unfocused due to its spontaneous nature. During this cycle, your relationships will feel revived and infused with strong desires to go outside the one's comfort zone.

Mars in Cancer - March 26, 2023 – May 20, 2023

Mars in Cancer is not always very easy to manage due to the emotional intensity experienced during this cycle. We may not be driven into action at times because our moods may dampen our motivation or focus. We are prone to getting easily annoyed and upset over small issues. However, though it may be an intense emotional cycle, it is an opportunity to work through emotional patterns and develop healthy coping tools that foster permanent healing.
