Leo Monthly Horoscope

Stretch your wingspan, Leo—it’s time to soar! April is packed with planetary action galore in Aries and your ninth house of growth, travel and new horizons. The Sun is in the Ram’s court until April 19, and there’s a total solar eclipse on April 8 in Aries that’s got the world abuzz. 

If you’ve been playing too small of a game in life, prepare to lunge out of the familiar. Adventures are calling, and you’ve earned (at least) one after all the hard work you’ve done this year. 

That said, you’ll want to have a backup plan and a few alternate routes mapped from April 1 to 25 while Mercury goes retrograde in Aries. Mercury is the planet of communication, technology and travel, and it makes a challenging backspin three to four times a year. During this signal-scrambling cycle, even the best-laid agendas can encounter surprise setbacks. 

Nothing can really stop you once you put your mind to something, Leo, even if you have to pace yourself. The ninth house is the realm of new horizons, and your inner explorer may develop a raging case of wanderlust during Aries season. 

If you’ve got a vacation scheduled, make sure to triple-check everything, from your passport expiration to your accommodations. Read those Tripadvisor reviews before booking. Since Mercury retrograde can mess with technology, be sure you actually complete all the transactions. (Yikes!)
