Today's Horoscope This week This month
Scorpio horoscope for April 2024
While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of April in your busy work sector and even though it will always have left a playful and creative part of your chart on the March equinox, there is often an overlapping of the two. While Venus and Mercury will travel with the Sun, not to the same tight timetable and therefore, it is not unusual to have one or even both still in a playful part of your chart as the Sun is taking you into what can be some of the busiest months of the year. This year that overlapping will cover the whole month, making it important to make a balance between work and play a priority from the start.
It was three days after the Sun left a playful and creative part of your chart and while Venus was still there that Mars returned for his first visit in two years. This means that with Mars still in his early days here, even when Venus leaves and joins the Sun in your busy work sector on 5th April, he will not only stay on but will spend the whole month here. While Mars will leave in the early hours of May and this will make May and June the busiest months of the year, the warrior planet of the cosmos will spend the whole of this month fighting to ensure life doesn't become all work and no play.
This is dialling back the urgency on the job front or whatever it is that keeps you busy, but dialling things back even further is having Mercury in retrograde motion in your work sector from 2nd April to 26th April. This will ensure that even though Mercury will normally race through in 14 to 15 days, he will still be here, helping you to keep your head in the game and your feet on the ground when Mars returns next month. While the Sun will leave on 20th April, until leaving on 29th April Venus will continue to give your heart a voice and work to attract opportunities. It is then that she will follow the Sun into your relationship sector, just as Jupiter's final weeks here will already be putting the focus on your relationships.
Love & Romance
The Sun may have left your romantic sector last month, something that on the March equinox each year will always take the solar spotlight off matters of the heart, things were just starting to heat up at that point. Not only did Venus, the planet of love stay on but just three days after the Sun left, she was joined by Mars, with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos having returned for his first visit in two years. As was the case when the Sun, Mercury and Venus returned, when Mars returned it was to find that Neptune, the planet of dreams, who has been here since 2012 was still here but for the first time in three decades, to find Saturn here as well.Saturn returned last March and until they both leave in early 2026, he is working with Neptune to give you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn dreams or a sense of what's possible into reality. As well as returning to fire up your romantic passions and fighting spirit, Mars is a planet of action and while Venus will spend until leaving on 5th April fuelling your romantic desires and the spirit of romance, he will help you fight to turn those desires into reality. Mars will spend the whole of April here and leaving in the early hours of May, he will leave everything on the floor.
It is a day after Venus leaves on 5th April that the Moon will move through, with romantically charged lunar vibes keeping her influence alive until it leaves on 7th April. Venus might start the month in your romantic sector but both she and the Sun will end the month in your relationship sector and with Jupiter leaving next month, the timing couldn't be better. The Sun will return on 20th April and while Venus won't return until 29th April, by then the solar spotlight will be on your relationships and in his final month here by then, Jupiter will be happy for the support that is going to make his final weeks some of the best. Before then, the Moon's visit from 9th April to 11th April will be a valuable chance to check in.
Business & Career
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of April in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on your work situation, job matters and options at this time of year. The Sun will always return on the March equinox, but while the Sun is only here for a month, this is just a small part of a much larger footprint that extends from Mercury's return earlier last month to Mars' departure in June. Mercury, who normally spends just 14 to 15 days in your work sector, making it easier to work smarter, get your head in the game and to think on your feet, should have left by now. Instead, a retrograde turn on 2nd April will keep Mercury here until the middle of next month.Not turning direct until 26th April, Mercury will spend the whole of April either in retrograde motion or at a standstill in order to turn retrograde and then to turn direct again. This is putting the brakes on, but with Mars returning early next month to begin the busiest six weeks of the year on the job front, this is buying you valuable time. This won't be enough to slow things down completely and as she moves through from 5th April to 29th April, Venus will not only be working to attract work and job opportunities and potential but the money as well. It is just a few days after Venus' returns that the Moon will move through from 7th April to 9th April, something that could have major implications.
As the Moon aligns with the Sun this will not only create a New Moon, but because the North Node is here this will turn this into a total solar eclipse. This creates the potential for major new beginnings, just as in his early days in retrograde motion Mercury will have the doors open to the past. It is a week later that the Moon will return for its monthly visit to your career sector from 16th April to 19th April. As well as a chance to fuel your professional instincts and imagination and ensure you are emotionally and intuitively engaged, in the Sun's final days in your work sector this will create some positive conditions on the job and career fronts.
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.
