Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, author of The Saturn Diaries and tarot reader to the stars, consulted her tarot deck and has tips for which signs should take advantage of Mercury (finally) going direct this month to go full-steam ahead on launches and pitches and which should wait until month’s end to make any big commitments. She also has insight into when to make longer-term investments of time and money—and the best dates to share those plans (starting with the new moon in Taurus on April 27).
After much haziness in March and being put through the wringer of Eclipse season, April encourages us to communicate what we want when Mercury conjoins the North Node in Pisces on the third.
Though clarity will likely arrive as soon as the month begins, it’s best to wait until the second week of April to make any permanent declarations and decisions, as Mercury remains retrograde until April 7. Mid-month is the ideal time to reflect on what we’ve learned since the beginning of the year, as the full moon in Libra on April 12 reminds us that we can recalibrate quickly and efficiently. This transformation is supported by the Chiron Cazimi in Aries on the same day, which gives us a boost of clarity to make quick adjustments and changes to budgets, projections, and outlines. The month ends with a potent new moon in Taurus on April 27, setting us up to commit to bigger-scale plans regarding team dynamics and initiatives that impact business from now through the summer.
Get ready for a month of recalibration, inspiration, and commitment. The first half of April is better for planning and translating the information coming in, while the second half of the month, between the full moon in Libra and the new moon in Taurus, provides doorways to inspired action. Read on to discover what the cards have in store for your sign.
Aries/Aries Rising (March 21 to April 19)
Card: Eight of Cups
The end of March may have required some heavy decisions, walking away from opportunities or collaborators you wish had worked out. If you’re still feeling torn about this, know you cleared the path for more abundance and inspiration this April.
Highlight: New Beginnings
Though what you walked away from undeniably required strength and discipline, you’ve unlocked a doorway to significant demand. Look to the second half of the month for multiple opportunities and offers.
Heads Up: When it Rains it Pours
Multiple offers flood in between the Chiron Cazimi on April 12 and the New Moon in Taurus on April 27—prepare to use your intuition and decisiveness to discern which are aligned with you quickly.
Mantra: Rain on Me
– Lady Gaga
Taurus/Taurus Rising (April 20 to May 20)
Card: Justice
Known as the card of calibration and balance, Justice brings karmic alignment this month. Taurus’ stoic nature can lead to feeling unseen or taken for granted despite significant wins and efforts in 2025. April balances the scales, bringing substantial rewards to those who’ve earned them.
Highlight: Delayed Rewards
The time and energy you exported in the first months of 2025 are now paying off. Contracts and sign-offs that may have been delayed from March through early April will be finalized by the end of the month.
Heads Up: Fair Energetic Exchange
While the Justice card brings rebalance and can offer meaningful rewards, it also brings skeletons out of closets, so it’s best to make sure your side of the street is clean in any collaborations and relationships before going into the full moon in Libra on April 12.
Mantra: The Law of Recognition
– Kyslingo
Gemini/Gemini Rising (May 21 to June 20)
Card: Three of Pentacles
Geminis think and verbalize quickly, which can cause them to take on the brunt of projects themselves. The first half of April asks you to pause and assess where you could share or distribute some of your workload to others.
Highlight: Delegation Pays Off
As your ruling planet, Mercury, goes direct on April 7, a window of opportunity opens for you to hand some of the tedious tasks you’ve been handling to your teammates or freelancers so that you can open your calendar up to bigger-picture thinking that will pay off in major ways through the summer.
Heads Up: Watch Control-Freak Tendencies
Especially as we near the Chiron Cazimi on April 12, allowing others to take the lead on areas of your work that you were used to handling may stir up doubts about whether these tasks can be adequately done without you. Breathe into the discomfort and lean into co-creation with kind and open communication around any changes and revisions needed.
Mantra: It’s Your Turn
– Deuces High
Cancer/Cancer Rising (June 21 to July 22)
Card: Strength
The Strength card is associated with the solar plexus and is a confidence activator. Your patience in making strategic moves in March paid off in April, with new opportunities and/or clients coming your way.
Highlight: Settle Into the Upgrade
Inspiration and strategy for the upcoming month will likely feel clearer as soon as we enter April. It’s ok to wait until mid-month (on the other side of the full moon in Libra) before making any declarations or signing any contracts. It’s equally important to keep moving forward—you’re operating on a new level this month.
Heads Up: Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
Some of the projects and initiatives that come your way in the first two weeks of the month may feel equal parts exciting and intimidating. This is a time to take risks and seize growth opportunities.
Mantra: Move On Up
– Curtis Mayfield
Leo/Leo Rising (July 23 to August 22)
Card: The Star
The Star is the reward and oasis we reach after weathering challenging storms. Whatever was left behind or may have felt like a loss last month was a clearance to the path you’re now on. Look to the new moon in Taurus (April 27) for meaningful introductions to future clients and collaborators that will result in long-term abundance.
Highlight: Freedom in New Possibilities
Based on the way you had to work through much of the past year, you may be struggling with a bit of Stockholm syndrome, aka not allowing yourself to dream “too big.” In the Aries season portion of April, you’re given a reset button to ask yourself and the universe what your ideal work and environment look like.
Heads Up: Don’t Rush It
Fiery Leos like to move quickly, and it may be tempting this month with fellow fire sign Aries season fanning the flames of impatience. Before jumping into any longer-term career commitments, take your time and feel into what you want.
Mantra: Impossible Is Nothing
– Iggy Azalea
Virgo/Virgo Rising (August 23 to September 22)
Card: The Magician
You’ve been dedicated to staying on course all year, but the eclipses and retrogrades in March may have slowed your roll. When your ruling planet, Mercury, goes direct on April 7, get ready to go into full-on Magician mode.
Highlight: All Systems Go
The Magician, also assigned to your ruling planet Mercury, is like hitting a sequence of green lights back-to-back in April. The second half of the month is ideal for revisiting emails that remained unanswered or other attempted connections that may have been stuck in neutral last month.
Heads Up: It’s Okay to Utilize Teammates and Allies
Virgos are known as one of the hardest-working signs in the zodiac. They can also be quite perfectionistic, causing them to take on more than their share of the workload. With everything that is in motion this month, it’s just as important to delegate and lean on teammates as it is to complete tasks yourself.
Mantra: Abracadabra
– Lady Gaga
Libra/Libra Rising (September 23 to October 22)
Card: Page of Cups
After an arduous start to the year, April offers the astrological new year energy of Aries and reconnection with fun and play in your work, thanks to Page of Cups.
Highlight: The More Fun I Have the More Money I Make
There’s important work to be done this month, but the Chiron Cazimi and full moon in your sign on April 12 remind you of the importance of balance and what’s been lacking. The answer lies in more connected conversations with colleagues and teammates that lead to out-of-the-box solutions—and a lot more fun.
Heads Up: Ease Into the Month
After what was most likely a slow-moving March, the temptation to try to force all cylinders to go as soon as we enter April is understandable. The most movement happens in the last weeks of the month, so trust the process and don’t mani-force.
Mantra: Just Wanna Have Fun
– Cyndi Lauper
Scorpio/Scorpio Rising (October 23 to November 21)
Card: Ace of Swords
Scorpios are the deep, intense water signs that are often more intuitive than they are given credit for. You’ve been seeing a (potentially unpopular) solution for a while, and as Mercury heads direct on April 7, now is your time to share it.
Highlight: Truth Bombs are Rewarded
As your team and/or industry faced frustrations and setbacks last month, you knew it wasn’t the right time to deliver some hard but constructive news. The Ace of Swords reminds you that now is the time to say the hard things as progress and financial rewards quickly follow.
Heads Up: Don’t Overthink Constructive Criticism
Some individuals will always want to continue down the tried and safe path. Don’t allow their limitations to quiet your intuition. You have essential answers that will lead to success over the next three months.
Mantra: Speak Your Mind
– Brandi Carlile
Sagittarius/Sagittarius Rising (November 22 to December 23)
Card: The Wheel of Fortune
It likely feels like you lived multiple lives in March alone. The Wheel of Fortune is coming in to remind you that all challenges were worth it for you to receive the expansion that is arriving in fellow fire sign Aries season this month.
Highlight: You Know You’re Ready
Wanting success and knowing we are worthy of receiving it are two different scenarios. Your hard decisions in March are setting you up to magnetize financial triumphs this month. Look to the sweet spot of Aries season between the full moon in Libra on April 12 and the sun moving into Taurus on April 19 for a big win you’ve been waiting for.
Heads Up: No More to Prove
The archetype of the archer represents Sagittarians as they successfully hunt for opportunities and feel the need to show and tell why they are worthy of their wins. You have done everything you need to receive your rewards this month. Just show up confident, ready, and open.
Mantra: I Picked Up My Crown, Put it Back on My Head
– Madonna
Capricorn/Capricorn Rising (December 22 to January 19)
Card: Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups reminds you to practice self-care, which you may have neglected since the holiday break at the end of 2025. Major successes are coming this spring, but you need to be physically and mentally rested and in shape to take the ball and run with it when they arrive.
Highlight: Ability for PTO/Downtime
Though April is moving much faster and brings much more exciting news than March, there’s a window between early and mid-month when you can or may have already scheduled some time off. Use this as a critical reset because the latter part of the month is go-time.
Heads Up: Self-Care Before Warfare
Taking time to recalibrate before April 12 will help you stay calm and clear about any conflicts or setbacks that may arise throughout Aries season.
Mantra: Right on Time
–Brandi Carlile
Aquarius/Aquarius Rising (January 20 to February 18)
Card: Eight of Pentacles
The Eight of Pentacles reminds us that even in times of overwhelm, the journey toward progress always happens via the next right step. After an intense March, you may feel impatient at the beginning of the month, but slow and steady moves will serve you more than trying to force outcomes too soon.
Highlight: You Know Yourself Best
You’ve entered into this year with a greater sense of what you want and what you know you can create in your career. Significant doors are opening in the second half of April (especially the closer we get to the new moon in Taurus on April 27). In the meantime, keep moving strategically forward.
Heads Up: Trust the Timing
You’ve practiced disciplined surrender through the first quarter of 2025 and are more than ready for things to start moving. Don’t let impatience get the best of you. The opportunities meant for you are coming at the perfect time.
Mantra: I Got Me
– Jane & The Boy
Pisces/Pisces Rising (February 19 to March 20)
Card: Ace of Cups
April starts strong for you, Pisces. Beginning when Mercury conjoins the North Node in Pisces on the third, helping you to be clearer than ever with the next steps in a recent project.
Highlight: Heart-Centered Leadership
The Ace of Cups suggests it’s safe to trust and lead with your heart more than usual this month. A new project with you at the helm requires your intuitive, empathic voice for this initiative to reach its potential.
Heads Up: Equal Parts Vulnerability + Boundaries Are Needed
Your Pisces strengths of empathy and vulnerability shine this month with colleagues and teammates. Be mindful of not allowing this to lead to people pleasing as boundaries and structure are equally important, especially during the first half of the month.
Mantra: Feeling Like Myself Again
– Lowland Hum
