Today's Horoscope This week This month
Gemini horoscope for April 2024
There is a little bit of everything this month, making work/life balance a priority from the start. Thanks to Mars' return to your career sector towards the end of last month, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos will spend the whole of April here, keeping the momentum of previous months going while adding more fuel to the mix. It was three days after the Sun left on the March equinox that Mars returned and just as things should have been easing back, this has fired things up again. Until she leaves on 5th April Venus will be working to give your heart a voice and to leave you with something that Mars can continue to fight for.
Some of the most important days of the month professionally will be when the Moon moves through your career sector from 5th April to 7th April and again when it not only returns to your work sector from 24th April to 26th April but as a Full Moon. Meanwhile, when Venus leaves, she will join a growing groundswell of planets in your friendship sector. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of April in your friendship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking at this time of year.
For Venus, who is here from 5th April to 29th April, this is a social and serendipitous part of your chart and when, by using the laws of attraction and synchronicity, she will make it easier to find yourself in the right place at the right time. Mercury, the planet of communication will spend the whole month here, while in retrograde motion from 2nd April to 26th April he will be holding the doors open to the past. The Sun is only here until 20th April, when he will not only return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year but will join Jupiter who is doing the same, except winding down a 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion ahead of his return to Gemini next month.
Love & Romance
It was an eclipsing Full Moon in your romantic sector in the last week of March that has already given the spirit of romance a boost while acting as a catalyst or a trigger for something that is still running its course. There will always be a Full Moon in your romantic sector at some point in the first four weeks after the March equinox and halfway between the Sun's last visit and the next and at a point where there is rarely any planetary activity on the romantic front, this can give the spirit of romance a much needed boost. The difference this time is that with the South Node here, it can keep the momentum going.Even before the Moon comes full circle from last month's eclipsing Full Moon from 21st April to 23rd April, you may find that there are unexpected or serendipitous moments that catch you by surprise, as if there was an unseen hand at work. Helping with this is having Venus, the planet of love in a social and serendipitous part of your chart from 5th April to 29th April. This is an area of your chart that operates under the laws of synchronicity and as Venus operates through the laws of attraction, here she is able to bring the two together. When Venus is here you can expect more serendipitous moments and/or encounters, adding to what the eclipsing Full Moon has already triggered or set in motion.
The Moon will return to your romantic sector on 21st April, the same day that Venus leaves and staying on until 23rd April, these romantically charged lunar vibes will be able to capture some of the magic. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector, starting the month with the Moon here will ensure you are emotionally engaged from the start. While the Moon will leave on 1st April, it will be back again from 26th April to 28th April. It is a day later that Venus will return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 29th April to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane that will end with her return to Gemini next month.
Business & Career
The new month is getting off to a good start thanks to not only having Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune in your career sector but their close relationship to each other and because of the water that has already passed under the bridge. Venus is only here until 5th April, but spending her final days aligned with Neptune, as she works to fuel your professional confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction, it is with the help and influence of the planet of dreams. This is adding to the focus that this is already putting on leaving you with something to aim for or to keep fighting for.Mars only returned three days after the Sun left on the March equinox and as it has been two years since the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos was last here, you are still adjusting to warrior and competitive spirit. With Mars here all month, it is Venus and Neptune that are helping to fuel the professional desires, dreams and fantasies that can give him something to keep fighting for and to channel his warrior and competitive spirit into. With Mars here all month, this makes the early days of the month more about the 'what' than the when, where and how. Moving through your career sector from 5th April to 7th April, it is as Venus leaves and with your professional instincts sharp that you will have a chance to change gears.
It is a few days later that Mars will catch up with Saturn, with the warrior planet of the cosmos aligning with the hard taskmaster of the cosmos for the first time here in three decades on 10th/11th April. By then Venus will have fuelled the dream, with Mars and Saturn working together giving you the power to move mountains if you have to. Another important point in the month will be when the Moon not only moves through your work sector from 24th April to 26th April but when it returns as a Full Moon. The Moon will not only form a friendly aspect to all three planets in your career sector as it moves through, but just as Mars is heading into an alignment with Neptune on 28th/29th April. With Mars in his final days in your career sector by then and not returning for another two years, this will fire up your motivation.
Money
While this is not an overly active month on either side of the financial fence, you have all the ingredients for a good month on both sides. This is partly due to the Moon and partly due to the outside support that both sides are getting. There is no planetary activity in your income sector and there won't be until the Sun, Mercury and Venus return in June, as is usually the case. This makes the Moon's return from 14th April to 16th April the most important days of the month on this side of the financial fence and the most potentially lucrative. That is because as the Moon moves through, this can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger.While this is an ordinary monthly visit with Venus, the planet of money in your career sector until 5th April and Mars spending the whole month here, this is right in the heart of one the most powerful months of this professional year. Mars has joined up with Saturn here for the first time in three decades and together they will be determined to move things forward professionally. When the Moon returns there will be a chance to capitalise on any income potential that this might create. Meanwhile, while there is planetary activity on the other side of the financial fence all month, it is of the slow and steady kind.
When the dwarf planet Ceres returned to begin her first deep dive into your financial needs and priorities in four years in February, the Sun and Pluto had just left, Mercury had already moved through and Venus and Mars were still here, making this an active time of year for money matters. Just days later Venus and Mars left and Ceres has been on her own ever since. Now, Ceres is slowing ahead of a retrograde turn next month that will keep her here until December, taking the urgency right out of money matters while providing a constant presence. You will have a chance to check in on this and on money matters when the Moon moves through from 1st April to 3rd April and then again from 28th April to 30th April.
