Libra Monthly Love Horoscope

Passion or practicality? You could crave a bit of both extremes in April. After spending the first quarter of 2024 in close connection, cosmic lovebirds Venus and Mars will finally part ways this month. From April 5 to 29, your ruling planet Venus will move through fiery Aries, while Mars lingers in watery Pisces until April 30. 

Vixen Venus is busy spicing up your seventh house of committed relationships. And she’s hardly alone! Several other cosmic influences are here this month: the Sun (until April 19), Mercury (which is in dicey retrograde April 1 to 25), the karmic north node and healing Chiron. On April 8, a total solar eclipse in Aries could bring a brand-new relationship into your life out of the blue. 

You may have a vastly different lens on love as the eclipse sweeps through your partnership sector, giving you a wide-angle view on romance and partnership. Never thought you’d be attracted to THAT type of person? Surprise! At an eclipse, expect the unexpected.

A couple of warnings. First, Mercury retrograde in Aries can bring back an ex or cause old romantic drama to flare. Second, watch for a critical streak. With intense Mars in Pisces and your analytical sixth house, your flaw finder could be turned up to maximum settings. Picking yourself apart or playing life coach for your partner rarely produce a positive outcome. Watch for perfectionism and anxious behaviors creeping into your love life. 

Make de-stressing and healthy pursuits a shared activity if you’re in a relationship. Take a sweet stroll through the farmer’s market and pick up seasonal veggies for a meal you create together. Plan a hike or a bike ride. Time in nature will feel restorative and romantic. Single? This is a time to double down on your self-care. The more you treat your mind, body and spirit like a temple, the less you’ll be willing to settle for anything less than that from a partner.
