March was a doozy of a month for money and career endeavors. It served up simultaneous retrogrades from Venus and Mercury — the respective planets of luxuries and logistical matters — plus back-to-back eclipses that each had the power to pack a serious punch, based on where they were hitting in your chart. But thankfully for all zodiac signs, the astrology of April is going a lot gentler on everyone, so your April money horoscope is bringing more opportunities to stabilize your finances and push forward on your goals.
The sun is in go-getter fire sign Aries as the month begins, giving everyone a burst of motivation that can be channeled toward professional and financial goals. A friendly solar connection with lucky planet Jupiter brings abundant opportunities during the first week of the month. At the same time, a whole cluster of auspicious aspects involving Venus, down-to-business Saturn, goal-chasing Mars, and unpredictable Uranus could assist in suddenly swinging open lucrative new doors. Find a balance between seizing the moment while still maintaining a grip on your long-term vision.
It’ll be easier to capitalize on these fruitful opportunities in money and at work once Mercury retrograde ends on April 7. Professional projects should start picking up steam, and you’ll be able to clearly number-crunch, making budgeting and career planning easier. Venus retrograde wraps up next, stationing direct on April 12. If you’ve been waiting to splurge on a bougie purchase or make some meaningful decisions about your professional path, now’s your chance to get moving.
Mid-month turns up the heat as a full moon in harmony-seeking Libra rises on April 12, inspiring you to face emotional triggers around money and balance your work life and bank account. Quick-thinking Mercury zooms into Aries on April 16, making you more decisive and ambitious about your current endeavors. And two days later, motivator Mars hits confident fire sign Leo, giving you a spark of passion to pursue the things you love. With these retrogrades behind us and two personal planets in the red-hot fire signs, it’s a lot easier to take action and make good on your money plans.
The grounded vibes of Taurus season start settling in come April 19. It’s time to take a more pragmatic approach to your finances and be willing to put a sustained effort toward whatever you’re working toward in your career. Just beware that competitive streaks could rear their ugly heads during this last third of the month, as the sun will be locked in a tense T-square between assertive Mars and power-hungry Pluto. The drive to succeed is strong, and so is your sense of pride, but don’t get so cutthroat that you wind up doing things you regret to get ahead.
The month wraps up with a new moon in Taurus, which is great for setting tangible and realistic intentions for your material and financial goals. This lunation continues to activate the frustrating opposition between Mars and Pluto, so practice patience and don’t rush to the finish line. A few days later, pleasure-seeking planet Venus joins Mercury in Aries, putting everyone in the mood to prioritize the things that please them. Treat yourself to a special springtime gift or some other opulent splurge.
