This April is a big month when it comes to the stars.

Not only does it represent the start of the astrological New Year, Mercury turns retrograde on April 1, causing disorder for all signs until April 25.

Tarot cards for Aries for April: King of Coins, Two of Wands, Page of Coins

Meaning: It’s your time

We are in full Aries season now and that means it’s your time to shine, my friend! The Two of Wands asks you to focus on a goal, a priority, an ambition. Make it bigger, bolder, brighter, and work on manifesting it this April. You can move mountains, you can climb to the top of your world and reach out for something amazing!

The Page and King of Coins hint at work or health goals. Something where you learn a new skill, talent, or activity that helps you achieve this goal and even surpass it.

You will need to study, focus, and take on new information or behaviours, but they will rapidly pay off. The King of Coins promises rewards, success, and prosperity. Focus and manifest!

Tarot cards for Taurus for April: Queen of Coins, Page of Cups, Ace of Coins

Meaning: A new project

Start something creative and fulfilling this April. A new leaf, a different era, a fresh start. The Ace of Coins is all about new beginnings which lead to rewards and fulfilment down the line, steady but positive progress. This is something lasting and long-term – perhaps linked to health, wealth, work or home.

The Queen of Coins sees you stepping up, taking control, being the master of your own destiny. This project or new start is all about promoting you and your wellbeing.

The Page of Cups brings imagination, wonder, and creativity to the table. Perhaps this is a new lifestyle hobby or habit, a creative project, an imaginative side line which can earn you cash. Seek your passions and ignite them.

Tarot cards for Gemini for April: Seven of Wands, Temperance, Seven of Cups

Meaning: Evolution

Changes. You are still going through something, an evolution, a phase of growth and empowerment leading you towards a destiny you truly wish to live.

The Seven of Wands shows it started with a challenge, a test, maybe even a blow. It shook you but it also awakened you, maybe that ‘other twin’ that lives inside all Geminis. That tougher, bolder, less eager-to-please-others version of you; she woke up and thought ‘wtf’.

Then Temperance kicks in and you start to feel the shifts of mood, outlook, values, and priorities. It’s mental and spiritual at this stage, an internal shift, an inner development. And then the Seven of Cups brings you visions and daydreams which show you what is possible in your lifetime. You are visualising new chapters. Believe in the magic. Manifest.

Tarot cards for Cancer for April: King of Cups, Five of Wands, Seven of Swords

Meaning: Intuitive understanding

Nothing gets past you, Cancer. Nothing. You have a nose for secrets and lies, and your intuition is always bang on. The King of Cups sees your emotional intelligence at work this April, sussing out the truth underpinning some key situations and dynamics. You get to the bottom of things thoroughly and fast.

The Five of Wands shows that recent conflict or tension is just a symptom of what was happening at root cause level. Don’t engage in the feuding or fighting, get to that root cause and work on it there.

The Seven of Swords reveals you might discover some people you liked are actually a bit sh**. There we are. People are strange. Don’t be disappointed, be glad you have seen their true colours and can now ghost them out (as only you can do best)!

Tarot cards for Leo for April: Knight of Cups, Seven of Wands, Strength

Meaning: Create a competition

Being a Fire sign, you are super competitive (in a good way) and love a challenge, it makes you rise to the occasion and outperform your expectations. Create a fake competition this April! Strength and the Seven of Wands ask you to invent a target, goal, challenge, competition around your ambitions and personal development work.

What do you want to achieve? Well, make it a game, make it something you pit yourself against others on. The best and fastest results will arrive when you’re riled and ready to show someone else exactly what you’re made of!

The Knight of Cups shows romance might play a part in this too, weirdly. Maybe this is something you do with your partner and it puts the zest back into relations: maybe the ambition is about love and you gamify your dating life, maybe you will meet someone amazing on your challenge (possibly a Water sign). Get to it.

Tarot cards for Virgo for April: The Emperor, Six of Swords, Seven of Cups

Meaning: Perfect endings

Design the ending. Create the finale you dream of. Organise the send-off. Write the resignation letter. Quit the game. Walk away. Be in charge of what you do and do not invest your precious time and energy in, Virgo.

The Emperor brings you self belief, control, and power. Wield them wisely. The Six of Swords is a powerful departures card. You are ready, able, and willing to withdraw, and this won’t feel sad or difficult because it’s simply the right time. Something has run its course. The Seven of Cups invites you to imagine how this best unfolds, plan the finale or closure, and take steps to manifest that IRL.

You know best, Virgo. You always have the best ideas and create perfect solutions, so invest some time into dreaming up how to craft and execute the perfect conclusion. Bon voyage. Onto the next…

Tarot cards for Libra for April: The Moon, Five of Cups, The Lovers

Meaning: Address a conflict

Your moods might feel a little mysterious to you this April, as shown by the secretive Moon and the sad Five of Cups. Fleeting but intense emotions may pass over and overwhelm you randomly and seemingly without a cause.

Zoom in, Libra. Something is going on. Unseen forces are at work. The Lovers shows that you are feeling ambiguous or unclear about something important and emotive, and your brain is trying to get you to admit (and focus on) that by triggering intense feelings. It’s like a signalling exercise. Don’t ignore the flares!

Sit and ponder where you feel conflicted, torn, facing a head vs heart decision, and work on that this month ahead. Get the pros and cons written down, answer the unanswered questions, delve into the options. Then decide where you stand, and your feelings will settle down and run smoothly once more.

Tarot cards for Scorpio for April: Knight of Swords, Justice, Nine of Wands

Meaning: Delivering justice

Doing the right thing, or correcting a wrong, is not going to be as hard or troublesome as you think, so don’t make excuses. The Nine of Wands hovers into view when you need a reassurance that you can do what you’re planning, even if you fear it will be difficult. The sooner you move from thinking to doing the better, get the momentum going.

Justice shows this is about righting a wrong, doing what’s ethical, being a voice for the oppressed or ignored, standing up for what you believe is right. It’s a test, but not a mission impossible.

The Knight of Swords shows that you’re the right person for this, you have the fortitude, the respect and admiration of others, and the hardcore inner strength to do it. Don’t waste your power, invest in where it is most needed this April. Follow your moral compass.

Tarot cards for Sagittarius for April: The Hanged Man, Ten of Cups, The Hierophant

Meaning: Recalibrating relationships

Your most important relationship is under the spotlight this April, be that family, love, work, or friendship. The Ten of Cups shows that all’s well that ends well, and things will be restored to their best version soon enough. But you need to work through something first.

The Hanged Man shows a frustrating blockage, a misfiring of communications. You perhaps feel your efforts and sacrifices go unrewarded, even unnoticed. You need to stop and step back. Let the Universe work its magic, something will happen when you’re not looking, something will shift, something will unlock!

The Hierophant shows that a dynamic re-set is required. The pattern or even rut you’ve gotten into is not right for this relationship to flourish. Let things recalibrate. Change the behaviour, the mood, the patterns… and let a new era emerge. A fair and balanced one.

Tarot cards for Capricorn for April: Nine of Coins, Nine of Swords, Three of Coins

Meaning: Stop worrying

Stop worrying, fretting, and overthinking your health, wealth, home or work plans. I know they are important, I know it matters, I know you have worked very hard to create robust strategies… but you’ve done the groundwork, now let it all play out a bit.

The Nine of Swords sees you in an anxious mood, second guessing your plans, self sabotaging your actions. Stop! Everything is golden, Cap. The Nine of Coins has you heading in the right direction, on the right path, building new futures and foundations, all is as it should be.

The Three of Coins means others want in, too. There are people out there ready to give you promotions, ideas, advice, and opportunities which will accelerate your plans coming to fruition. Don’t put them off by being angsty and defensive. Have faith in yourself and your ideas. You are doing great. Keep going.

Tarot cards for Aquarius for April: Four of Cups, Queen of Cups, Eight of Swords

Meaning: Choose wisely

People that know you very well probably have you pegged as being unpredictable. All can look peaceful and calm, and then wham bam you’re off and running, doing something totally unexpected and wild. I feel like April will bring more of that energy!

The Four of Cups sees you feeling a bit bored or meh, a bit tired of the routine (a dangerous moment). The Queen of Cups sees you wanting to self-soothe, find peace, seek comfort and relaxation, lift your mood. Now comes the big choice, Aquarius! How to do this? You could fall into old patterns, with the bad habit card Eight of Swords. Following excitement and adventure down a murky path… which you know leads nowhere good!

Stop, pause, think, reflect. Choose wisely. Choose a path which gets you out of your rut but doesn’t land you from the frying pan into the fire. Choose something positive, healthy, happy. Be fulfilled but not in a quick-fix, high-risk, likely-to-lead-to-trouble way, okay?

Tarot cards for Pisces for April: Four of Wands, The Hermit, Temperance

Meaning: Next level

If you stop, be still, and tune in to your own heartbeat, you will discover new access to a deeper part of you that resonates with your true desires and needs. All you need to do is to be still, quiet, withdrawn, and alone.

The Hermit asks you to go on a journey of enlightenment this April, a quest to discover this inner self, and extract those authentic desires. Temperance reveals this will ground you, anchor you in truth, make you feel connected to who you really are and what you really want… and everything will flow from there!

The Four of Wands shows you will use this information to make a leap, a promotion, a grasp, an achievement. You are ready for the next level, the next step, and all you need do is to describe what it is and have faith that you deserve it. You truly do, Pisces.
