Today's Horoscope This week This month
Sagittarius horoscope for April 2024
Because the Sun will always start the month in a playful and creative part of your chart but end the month in your busy work sector, there is always going to be an overlapping of the two. Not because the Sun can't decide which side of the fence it will be on, but because the Sun is rarely on its own. For the Sun, when it leaves a playful and creative part of your chart and returns to your busy work sector on 20th April this will be a hard shift from one to the other. One minute the solar spotlight will be on the playful side of life's fence and the next it will be on the busy side, as it does at the same time each year.
However, with Jupiter not only in his last full month in your work sector but heading towards his first alignment with Uranus here in eight decades from 18th April to 22nd April, life is already likely to be busy. As Jupiter is the planet of luck and expansion and Uranus is the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected, this month could also bring some surprise developments, as a 12 month quest for job growth and expansion reaches its peak. Supporting this are planets that are going to make the whole of April a good month across the income, work and career fronts.
Yet at the same time, you not only have the Sun in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart until 20th April, but Venus will be here from 5th April to 29th April, Mercury will be here all month and Mars will return in the early hours of May. The Sun might shift the solar spotlight from the playful to the busy side of life's fence on 20th April, but both sides are active and will remain active all month. With Mars also spending the whole of April in your home and family sector, this makes having the right work/life balance and the right balance between work and play a priority from the start. Especially if you want to have it all, in a month that wants to offer it all.
Love & Romance
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of April in your romantic sector, the solar spotlight is always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at this time each year. The Sun will always return on the March equinox and until leaving on 20th April, he will not only put matters of the heart in the spotlight but on the planetary influences already there as well as those that are passing through at the time. This year is different in that for the first time in 18 years the Sun has returned to find the North Node in your romantic sector and this will have major implications when the Moon makes its monthly visit from 7th April to 9th April.When the Moon returns every four weeks, when the Sun is here their alignment will create a New Moon, which creates an opportunity for new beginnings. However, because the North Node is here, when the Moon moves through this will turn what is an ordinary New Moon for this time of year into a total solar eclipse. As well as turning this into an opportunity for major new beginnings, as the North Node has been here since last July, this will act as a trigger for influences that have been developing behind the scenes. This makes it important to expect the unexpected.
What makes the timing of this eclipsing New Moon important is that on 5th April Venus, the planet of love will return to your romantic sector to begin what she will be working to make the most romantically charged weeks of 2024. Venus is only here until 29th April, so she will be working to make this count. However, with Mercury, in retrograde motion here from 2nd April to 26th April and not leaving until the middle of next month and with Mars returning in the early hours of May, you are instead entering the most romantically charged months rather than weeks of 2024. Meanwhile, until Jupiter returns to your relationship sector next month there is no planetary activity on the relationship front, though with the Moon bringing a chance to check on from 12th April to 14th April.
Business & Career
While the Sun won't return to your work sector until 20th April, the point in each year when the solar spotlight shifts onto your work situation, job matters and options, by the time you move into the new month the pace is already starting to pick up and with it a sense of anticipation. When you moved into the New Year Jupiter had only been in direct motion in your work sector for a few hours and spent the early weeks of the year at a near standstill, as did Uranus who didn't turn direct here until towards the end of January. Since then, they have not only been picking up speed, but as in relative terms Jupiter is a lot faster, he has been slowly closing the gap and from 18th April to 22nd April they will finally align.It has been eight decades since Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion has last aligned with Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected last aligned here in your work sector and it will be another eight decades before they align here again. However, what makes the timing auspicious is that it is while they are aligned that the Sun will return on 20th April. This is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will turn onto your work situation and job matters but with Jupiter leaving and wrapping up his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion on 26th May, he returns to light and guide the way home.
It is Venus' return on 29th April that will kick off what could be some of the most defining weeks of the year so far and of Jupiter's time here, even though it is Mars' return in June that will exploit every last advantage. Venus is the planet of money, desire and attraction and joining up with the planets of luck and synchronicity just as Jupiter is moving into his final weeks here will create some serious magic. Meanwhile, the Moon will play an important role in keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged, both when it moves through your work sector from 9th April to 11th April and to your career sector from 19th April to 21st April. The latter will ensure your professional instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged when the Sun returns to your work sector on 20th April.
Money
While there is no planetary activity in either of your two money houses this month, the Moon is having a significant and timely impact on one side while there is a growing sense of anticipation on the other side. It is the income side of the financial fence that the Moon is having a significant and timely impact on, both because it will visit your income sector twice this month and because of what is happening on the job front at the time. The Moon will start the month in your income sector, giving you an intuitive sense of where the money is from the start. While the Moon will leave on 1st April, this will get the new month off to a good start.While the Moon's return every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, as the only visit while the Sun is in your work sector and with Venus, the planet of money returning there on 5th April to exploit both income and job potential, the timing couldn't be better. The Moon will be gone by the time it returns to do it again from 26th April to 28th April but returning in Venus' final days in your work sector before leaving on 29th April, this will be in time to exploit the potential that as the planet of money, desire and attraction she will have created by then. With Mars returning to your work sector just a few days later, again the timing couldn't be better.
It is on the other side of the financial fence that there is a growing sense of anticipation or at least there will be when the Moon returns for its monthly visit to your financial sector from 12th April to 14th April. While Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion won't return until 26th May to begin your biggest year for financial growth and expansion in over a decade and this is not the Moon's last visit before then, this giant planet will be on your radar. While this is the chance that you get every four weeks to check in on money matters, as the Moon fuels your financial instincts and imagination it will be with a chance to start looking to the future with confidence.
