As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries season dominates most of April, marking the start of a new astrological year and (in the Northern Hemisphere) the start of Spring. A Full Moon in Libra falls on the 2nd, illuminating the ways we bring harmony, balance and fairness into our lives.
The second week is where cosmic energies really start ramping up. Warlike Mars, ruler of conquest, enters Aries on the 10th. Mars rules Aries, and its presence here will boost our energies but also quicken tempers. On the 15th, chatty Mercury joins the party in Aries—thought and communication grow fast and furious. Then the Sun conjuncts ‘wounded healer’ asteroid, Chiron, in Aries on the 16th—be extra mindful with folks who haven’t processed their own healing, and you might avoid an unnecessary battle.
All this Aries tension comes to a head on the 17th with the New Moon in Aries. It’s a great time for new plans and new beginnings, but also a momentous time in our skies. In the history of astrology, we have never, ever had seven heavenly bodies in Aries before—the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune—all engaging with each other to amplify Aries’ passionate, headstrong vibes. What this signifies: a cosmic endorsement that humanity is entering a new era, and that major change will be inevitable.
The Sun enters Taurus on the 20th, beginning a new season of sensuous pragmatism. Thereafter, Uranus—ruler of tech, disruption and personal transformation—enters brilliant Gemini and starts a new seven-year cycle of innovation. It will be exciting to watch how our ways of thinking, learning and connecting evolve under this new regime.

Aries
21 March to 20 April
Six of Wands
What a triumph! Dear Aries, your card for the month is traditionally known as the Lord of Victory, and represents success coming to you after a season of struggle. Your hard work and perseverance have paid off handsomely; your goals have been achieved, and you can now rest on your laurels for the time being. The only warning that comes with this card is the possibility of your success attracting the attention of jealous types. Celebrate, but stay classy.
Taurus
21 April to 20 May
Knight of Swords
This month, dear Taurus, your talents will be given an opportunity to shine. The Knight of Swords represents swift action, intellect, and direct communication. If you’ve been making plans, this card is your sign to charge ahead with bold and logical decisions. The Knight of Swords embraces mental focus and clarity in clearing all obstacles to success. Help could come from someone around you who embodies these qualities. Forward!
Gemini
21 May to 21 June
Justice
This month’s card blesses you with balance and fairness, dear Gemini. As a major arcanum, Justice indicates that a slightly higher degree of predestination could be present as events develop this month. The upright position of this card suggests that the fates are on your side, and encourages you to proceed with a clear conscience and good intentions. This card also signifies success in legal or other official matters.
Cancer
22 June to 22 July
Temperance, reversed
Dear Cancer, the energies of last month’s card are here in a different form for you this month, suggesting that you might be dealing with a long-standing sense of feeling slightly off-balance. Your deeply spiritual nature does make you especially sensitive to cosmic energies, which have been intense in recent months. The same counsel applies: be kind to yourself. Engage in the self-care that you need. Your health and well-being matter. You’re worth it!
Leo
23 July to 22 August
Knight of Wands
This month, dear Leo, you’ll be feeling energised by all those cosmic movements in your fellow Fire sign, Aries. The Knight of Wands represents adventure, passion, courage and bold action. Take risks, embrace change, and charge forward with confidence. Someone around you with these qualities could play a role in how things develop. Expect exciting arrivals—but also departures. You will get great things done!
Virgo
23 August to 22 September
Six of Pentacles, reversed
Be mindful of the give-and-take in your interactions this month, dear Virgo. The reversed Six of Pentacles signifies a possible imbalance in personal or professional relations. An unequal workload? Favouritism at home or work? Is someone around you—or you yourself—feeling overextended? It’s time to act and restore fairness by setting boundaries. Some Virgos may experience disruptions regarding employment. Keep calm; hang tight.
Libra
23 September to 22 October
Eight of Wands
Dear Libra, you’ll be busy this month. The Eight of Wands heralds productive action, rapid movement, and fast-paced change. Projects and goals are moving quickly toward completion. This card is a positive omen of dynamism, speed and clear, direct progress—possibly in news or travel. You might receive opportunities; grab them. You might also face obstacles; charge ahead and overcome them. One last tip: be careful with your spending!
Scorpio
23 October to 22 November
Ace of Swords, reversed
This month’s card for you, dear Scorpio, is a blessing in disguise. The reversed Ace of Swords is a gentle reminder that some plans may need refinement, and/or that an important conversation could take unexpected turns. Take your time before you commit to any major decision. Still, there’s nothing that strategic planning and prep can’t resolve—and to you, the mastermind of the zodiac, executing strategic foresight is a walk in the park.
Sagittarius
23 November to 21 December
The Chariot, reversed
Keep a close eye on your path ahead this month, dear Sagi. The reversed Chariot signifies a lack of control or direction in a situation you’re facing. It could indicate that you are feeling stuck, off-balance, or pulled in opposing directions. You will benefit from taking some time off to reassess your goals and coming up with ways to maintain your beautiful free spirit, even when under pressure. At a more mundane level: take extra precautions with travel this month.
Capricorn
22 December to 20 January
Page of Pentacles
Dear Capricorn, your plans look mighty promising! The Page of Pentacles is an excellent omen for decision-making: you’ll have bright ideas to manifest a practical and comfortable future once you get down to making it happen. Some of you might be learning something new: this card can represent a student, and/or a young (or young-at-heart) person who will be playing a role in how things develop this month. Pay attention, and abundance will be yours.
Aquarius
21 January to 19 February
Two of Wands, reversed
This month, dear Aquarius, you might be facing a situation characterised by a lack of progress or hesitation. This could be due to indecision or unexpected developments in your planning processes. It’s a good time to bridge the gap between making plans and taking action. You are encouraged to overcome any anxieties, to accept life’s imperfections, and take risks to move forward. Proofread all online comms before you hit send!
Pisces
20 February to 20 March
Seven of Swords
Dear Pisces, you will be relying on your own resources this month. The Seven of Swords is known as the ‘thief’s card’ or the ‘lone wolf card’, representing success through strategy, creative solutions, and an independent spirit. Be mindful of people who appear too friendly this month: they might have an agenda. If you’re facing a complex situation that’s not moving forward meaningfully, your best bet is to disengage discreetly.
