Aquarius Monthly Love Horoscope

New energy: incoming! After spending the first quarter of 2024 in close connection, cosmic lovebirds Venus and Mars will finally go their separate ways this month. Starting April 5, Venus will move into fiery Aries through April 29 and Mars will linger in watery Pisces until April 30.

Social Venus is in Aries and your kindred spirit sector from April 5 to 29 which could send sparks flying with a neighbor, colleague or friend of a friend. The April 8 total solar eclipse could especially bring in a new person by surprise. This Venus cycle whets your appetite for lighthearted fun, flirtation and limitless options—a perfect start to spring. 

However, Mercury is retrograde from April 1 to 25, which could cause misunderstandings, mixed-up plans and technology headaches. Online and app dating could be especially tricky for single Aquarians, and partnered Water Bearers could be irritable and prone to bickering. Temptation from the past could resurface while Mercury is retrograde, a time when ex-flames tend to surface.

If things get tense, you might pour yourself into your work a little, or take a grounding and centring time-out. Passion planet Mars is hanging out in Pisces and your second house of money until April 30. Your flirty forays could be interrupted by demanding deadlines and long hours. 

You might be torn between your own dueling desires to lock down security while also enjoying some much-needed variety and stimulation. If you catch yourself getting overly serious about the future, reel it in and go do something spontaneous. Reconnect by catching a movie, grabbing a casual bite to eat and just chatting like friends (remember that part?).
