The past few weeks have been FAB for your career, and the new moon in Aries on April 5 will help you reach even greater heights. You’re beginning to realize that hard work *actually* pays off, which make it easier for you to invest in yourself. Use this lunation to plot and strategize, and to align your ambitions with your emotions. Think big!

On April 10, Jupiter-the planet of abundance and expansion-goes retrograde in Sagittarius. Don’t freak out: this is nothing like Mercury Retrograde. This is an excellent time to check in with your structures and routines. Prioritize your needs (work, exercise, sleep, play) to strike a healthy balance in your busy schedule.


Think back to March 20-what transpired under the full moon? These themes will appear once again on April 19, when yet another full moon in Libra electrifies your chart. For you, this lunation is all about getting grounded. Anchor yourself to reality and don’t let new discoveries shake you to your core. The truth isn’t always easy, but it’s better than living a lie.

The Sun’s movement into Taurus’ sky on April 20 marks the beginning of a new astrological season and puts you in the mood to schmooze. After weeks of pounding the pavement, you’re ready to start sharing your achievements with the world. Tap into your extended social network and team up with like-minded people who understand your values. The end of April is all about collaboration, so don’t be afraid to send a few cold emails (or DMs) to expand your horizons!
