Your Monthly Love Horoscope for April 2024. Discover your Monthly Love Horoscope for each zodiac sign here.
Aries
As an April Fool’s Day prank from the Universe, Mercury goes retrograde in your first house of identity on April 1, which can really throw you off your game. You’ll struggle to navigate this tough time in your love life as attempts to flirt and be cute end in awkward silences and uncomfortable misunderstandings.
However, your luck improves when lovely Venus moves into your fiery sign on the fourth, so go ahead and shoot your shot. Your up-front attitude gains you new followers or is popular with a current partner who is tired of guessing what’s on your mind. Take the initiative and express your feelings with confidence.
Your active sign hosts a new moon and solar eclipse on April 8, increasing your energy and possibly your frustration level. If you’re in a relationship, sex is quick but satisfying. If you don’t have a steady partner, though, you’ll need to find a healthy outlet (sports, exercise, working overtime) to release tension and keep you in a positive mood.
When your powerful, driven home planet Mars enters your competitive sign on the thirtieth, you’re set on accomplishing your love goals and “winning” at all costs. But do you know what you’re playing for, Aries? The only way that the end justifies the means is if you know the answer to that question.
Taurus
Get ready to enter an intense period of self-reflection as thoughtful Mercury goes retrograde in direct Aries and your intuitive zone of the subconscious on April 1. Your ability to uncover your own hidden emotions and thought patterns can help you understand how your behaviors influence past, current, and potential relationships.
On the fourth, your lovely planetary guide Venus also moves into dominant, passionate Aries, turning up the heat on your sex life. Some very base animal urges come out now, and the intense desire you feel for someone (a current partner or crush) might actually surprise you. Quickies are oddly satisfying now.
On April 19, the brilliant sun moves into your steady sign, automatically attracting people to you who are looking for safety and security. Your confidence increases too, allowing you to show off your best traits without coming off as overly conceited. You know what you have to offer, Taurus, and the person you’re with should appreciate you.
Glamorous Venus moves into your sign on the twenty-ninth, highlighting physical appearance. As a true appreciator of physical aesthetics and pleasure, you can’t stop giving compliments to someone you adore. Your intensity in this area might endear you to a current lover, but it could give a potential one the icks, tbh. You might want to hold something back until you know each other better to lay it on that thick.
Gemini
Your fast-paced cosmic leader Mercury goes retrograde in Aries on April 1, which energizes your house of hopes and wishes and helps you reassess where you are and where you’d like to be in the near future. If your love life isn’t exactly giving off the vibes you’d like it to, ask a BFF or sibling for advice. They’ll give it to you straight.
When pleasure-seeking Venus partners with hot-headed Aries on the fourth, you don’t think very long before making major decisions that could affect your love life. Other people can probably see what a train wreck this impulsive behavior is, but you’re happily oblivious to the problems that your irrational spontaneity could cause. Good luck with that!
A Mercury-Venus conjunction in Aries on April 19 encourages candid conversations that should help break down any walls between you and your SO or someone you’re trying to get to know better, with deeper emotional connections as the result. The more you open up, Gemini, the more vulnerable you feel, but not in a bad way.
Mercury stations direct while still in loud Aries on the twenty-fifth, urging you to speak up for what you need and want. Your directness might be a turnoff, but that’s not going to stop you from speaking your mind. If you’re with someone who doesn’t want to debate and argue, they might not be the one for you. Your soul mate has to be able to hang with you verbally and mentally. Period.
Cancer
The first dreaded Mercury retrograde cycle of the year starts in Aries on April 1, energizing your tenth house and creating subtle competition between your career and your love life. Balance is the key now (especially if you’re in a relationship), so that one area of your life isn’t neglected in favor of the other.
When Venus moves into Aries on the fourth, you need to be with someone who supports your career. If you’re single, look for a partner who complements your professional ambitions, not someone who is jealous of your accomplishments and work connections. A current partner who puts down your job and gives you ultimatums about it raises huge red flags.
The moon, your emotionally supportive leader, is new in red-hot Aries as it creates a solar eclipse on April 8, sparking a new sense of passion and ambition in your love life. You might feel the urge to invest more energy into a current relationship or take the next step with someone you’re attracted to at work. You definitely don’t like being told what you can and cannot do during this upbeat lunation.
There’s a Scorpio full moon to look forward to on the twenty-third, intensifying emotions and encouraging transformation. Use this magical energy to take things to the next level, Cancer. Increased sensuality and physical intimacy are natural outcomes of this powerful lunar phase.
Leo
Fellow fire sign Aries hosts the start of Mercury retrograde on April 1, bringing impulsiveness and a hot temper that can lead to regretful words or actions during this stressful period. Be careful what you say and who you say it to now, Leo, because it’s impossible to take things back once they’re out there.
Money diva Venus moves into impromptu Aries on the fourth, motivating you to make spur-of-the-moment financial decisions. Single Leos will want to impress potential lovers with your spending power, but watch out for gold diggers during this flashy transit. If you’re in a relationship, don’t put down a deposit on a big-ticket item without first checking with your SO.
You’re in the mood for thoughtful adventures during the sun-Mercury conjunction in Aries on April 11, so you’ll want to be with someone who shares your thirst for imaginative excitement. If you don’t have a partner right now, daydream about the future romantic getaways you’ll have someday when you find “the one.”
Looks matter when beautiful Venus enters sensual Taurus on the twenty-ninth, which has you focusing on the superficial. Single Leos, a gorgeous Libra is absolutely captivating now, but do you really have anything in common? Attached Lions, avoid pointing out your partner’s flaws. The worst way to try to get them to change something about themself is to complain about it.

Virgo
When your guiding planet Mercury turns retrograde in daring Aries on April 1, you push the boundaries of communication more than usual. There really aren’t any excuses for being rude or disrespectful to a current or potential partner, so forget about empty apologies. A casual “sorry” means nothing.
Loving Venus partners with confident Aries on the fourth, giving you the cosmic nudge that lets you know it’s time to really go for it. When have you ever felt better about yourself, Virgo? Take advantage of this fierce romantic energy to make your move. A current or potential partner is ready to say yes!
The charming sun enters earthy Taurus on April 19, encouraging you to enjoy life’s little pleasures. Taking a walk with your SO or going on a simple coffee date with a potential new love allows you to focus on what really matters. Having excellent conversations while enjoying each other’s company is way better than planning expensive, elaborate dates during this low-key transit.
Committed asteroid Juno goes direct in your house of self on the twenty-first, emphasizing the need to not lose yourself while trying to create or strengthen lasting emotional connections with others. Single Virgos, it’s important to look for potential partners who share your values and treat you with respect. Coupled-up Virgos, you’ll find that the “opposites attract” theory isn’t true for you. Feeling that you’re compatible is important.
Libra
A Mercury (in impulsive Aries) retrograde cycle starts on April 1, which could cause rash decisions and misunderstandings. If you have a significant other, be patient with them as well as yourself in the coming weeks. If you’re in the new stages of a relationship, be open and honest about your feelings, especially doubt or jealousy, but avoid making harsh accusations.
Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure, enters the fiery arena of Aries and your relationship zone on the fourth, which can cause sparks in your love life. This transit’s fast-paced energy often puts excitement ahead of emotional intimacy, though, so try not to let your lust overshadow the opportunity to build and strengthen a solid foundation.
Mercury goes direct in Aries on April 25, which should help the lines of communication reopen and start to feel normal again. If there were any missed connections or misunderstandings in the last couple weeks, address them, apologize, and move on. There’s no need to keep bringing them up again and again.
Romantic Venus takes up with patient earth sign Taurus on the twenty-ninth, allowing you to feel the slow burn of anticipation. This aspect is a slow dance, a time to tempt and tease. There’s zero rush now, Libra. Your senses are on high alert, making bae’s perfume irresistible or your crush’s beauty inconceivable. Sex is an amazingly indulgent experience.
Scorpio
There’s some upheaval when Mercury goes retrograde in fellow Mars-ruled Aries on April 1, but it’s also time for reflection. It’s time to address regrets about a past relationship. An apology from you might be more meaningful to an ex than you can imagine.
Venus moves into powerful Aries on the fourth, so does that mean you’ll be an even worse loser than usual?! It’s no secret that you don’t like to give up your power or control, and this transit really brings out your aggressive side. Playing any kind of sport or game probably isn’t a good first date idea. And if bae suggests any type of competitive event, even just for fun, you should probably decline.
A full moon rises in your intense first house on April 23, increasing the aura of mystery around you. If a current or potential partner or lover is having a challenging time figuring you out, they won’t get any extra clues during this lunation. Admit it, Scorpio. You kind of like being a tantalizing enigma, don’t you!?
You’re completely comfortable expressing your physical desires during the Mars-Aries partnership that starts on the thirtieth, which is intimidating AF for bae or a current crush. You’re a very powerful, sexy person, and the fact that you know what you want and aren’t afraid to go for it can be scary. Needless to say, only a completely confident lover can satisfy you now!
Sagittarius
A Mercury retrograde cycle starts on April 1 in fellow fire sign Aries, bringing back unresolved issues or memories from past relationships and sending you searching for closure. While this chaotic transit can cause the usual messes and misunderstandings, it also offers a chance to gain new insights into your past choices, leading to improved self-awareness and new opportunities (like a chance to rekindle things with an ex).
Playful Venus moves into extrovert Aries on the fourth, so teasing, giving bold compliments, and making big romantic gestures excite the person you have your Archer’s arrow aimed at. It’s almost impossible to hide your natural charm when under the Ram’s confident influence, so the feelings you put out there are likely to be mutual.
On April 20, a lucky Jupiter-Uranus conjunction forms in steady Taurus, indicating exciting changes are on your romantic agenda. Things might not happen quickly, Sag, but just knowing that there’s something to look forward to makes you smile.
You can look forward to the twenty-fifth too, because communicating gets a lot easier as Mercury goes direct while still in Aries. Honesty is important to you, so you’ll appreciate the straightforward vibe of the coming weeks. Be sure to double-check your words before sending messages. Impulsive social media posts can lead to a lot of embarrassment.
Capricorn
The chances that you’ll get catfished, tricked, or misled in some way increase during the Mercury retrograde cycle that starts in combative Aries on April 1, so don’t automatically trust people who slide into your DMs. If you’re in a relationship, communication gets complicated now, so you might not be able to take bae’s words at face value.
You will probably feel some of your usual reserved behavior melt away under the red-hot Venus-Aries partnership that starts on the fourth, so why not fully embrace your powers of seduction? This newfound extroverted confidence looks good on you, Capricorn, and isn’t it about time you let a current or potential lover know exactly what you’re capable of?!
The Universe produces an intense Mars-Saturn meetup in imaginative Pisces on April 10, encouraging you to chase after your dreams. You can see the possibilities of several different romantic scenarios now, and they all look surprisingly good. What if you really could have it all? Forget about limiting yourself and pursue something magical.
On the nineteenth, the sun moves into sensual Taurus and your house of pleasure, urging you to enjoy life’s luxuries and indulgences. If you have a significant other, spoil them! If you’re trying to impress someone new, go all out. This isn’t the time to try to stick to a budget. There’s no time like the present to enjoy life and love to the fullest.
Aquarius
It feels like you can’t win sometimes during Mercury retrograde. Another reverse cycle, this time in tactless Aries, starts on April 1, twisting your words and potentially hurting someone’s feelings. But even though you’re having trouble expressing how you truly feel, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep trying until you get it right.
Affectionate Venus moves into enthusiastic Aries on the fourth, encouraging bold romantic action. If you like someone, let them know in a big, public way. If you love them, shout it out for the world to hear. There’s no reason to keep things bottled up, Aquarius. It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all!
On April 19, aggressive Mars sextiles your rebellious leader Uranus, resulting in a high risk/high reward window of opportunity. You have to bet a lot to win a lot, right? This aspect doesn’t promote holding anything back. There are new romantic opportunities waiting for you to grab hold of and run with. What are you waiting for?
The pace slows when Venus enters patient Taurus on the twenty-ninth, which makes you realize that everything doesn’t have to happen ASAP. You’ve been caught up in the moment lately, but taking things slowly can be fun too. Focus on building anticipation and having something to look forward to. Realizing what’s truly important helps.
Pisces
Your attempts at humor (especially sarcasm) can at best fall short and at worst really hurt someone’s feelings during the Mercury retrograde in crude Aries that starts on April 1. Although you might not be able to stop some of the hurtful words from leaving your mouth, a quick and sincere apology means a lot.
Your impulsiveness and/or aggressiveness might surprise you when temptress Venus moves into bold Aries on the fourth, but this is the time to capture something exciting and captivating. Although you might feel self-conscious at first, taking the initiative with a current or potential lover is actually quite exhilarating and confidence building!
An intense full moon in like-minded water sign Scorpio arrives on April 23, helping you zero in on what’s really important. Keep in mind that your inherent sensitivity is often magnified under this emotional lunation, Pisces, so it’s easy to become obsessed with certain people and thoughts. Setting healthy boundaries for yourself and others is an effective way to avoid getting carried away by your emotions now.
On the twenty-eighth, there’s a dreamy Mars-Neptune conjunction in your first house that creates deeply soulful and mystical connections. Single Fish might be drawn to fellow creative types who share your artistic interests and/or spiritual beliefs. You’re especially compatible with warm Cancers now. If you’ve already found your soul mate, your magical bond intensifies now. Fate is a wonderful thing.
