Flowers are blooming, hot girl walks are underway, and potential spring flings are popping up all around us. Life is good! Just remember that there are some major astrological showers in April in the cosmic forecast, too. The first eclipse of the year is on April 19 (PT)/April 20 (ET), pushing us into the chaotic portal of eclipse season. The planets’ retrograde-free-streak ends when Mercury retrograde hits a day later, kicking off three weeks of communication wrangling, timing issues, and tech glitches. Get out your cosmic umbrellas—but don’t forget to grab your girlfriend and dance in the rain, too.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Happy birthday season, Aries! You have the solar spotlight this month, but the energetic full moon on April 5 (PT)/April 6 (ET) drives your focus on relationships.

Two weeks later, a solar eclipse in your sign ushers in a massive new beginning, opening doors of opportunity in love, career, and more.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Lover Venus blesses your sign with a wealth of romance and sensuality throughout the first third of the month, so indulge in whatever makes you feel good. This applies to the bedroom and the dining table! These “treat yourself” vibes are all the rage when Taurus season hits on April 20, so plan something extra extravagant for your birthday. Just beware of awkward texts or exes reappearing when Mercury retrogrades your sign the very next day.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
The romantic full moon on April 5 (PT)/April 6 (ET) is the perfect time to plan a romantic night out with a lover or ask your crush to join you at a fun social event.
