Libra Monthly Horoscope

Your partnerships are getting an overhaul, Libra, and it’s about damn time! April opens smack in the middle of high eclipse season, a two-week period that began on March 25 with a lunar eclipse in YOUR sign. You’re probably still riding the waves of that potent full moon, which put the spotlight on you and your personal passions and priorities.

Admittedly, that may have been a bit uncomfortable for you. By nature, Libras are collaborators, so being so starkly “solo” can make you feel exposed and out of your depth. Hopefully, though, it also showed how capable you are on your own. Even if you choose to team up with others, you don’t NEED to, a key difference that the eclipses are here to underscore.

And just in time, Libra. Each April, relationships are the headline theme for you as the Sun makes its annual rounds through Aries (this year until April 19) and Taurus, the two most committed and partner-centric zones of your chart. 

This year, Aries AND Taurus season will feature rare planetary events: a total solar eclipse in Aries on April 8 and a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20 (a meetup that only happens every 14 years!) in Taurus. We’ll cover both topics in this forecast, fear not.

But first things first: Mercury retrograde. The three-times-a-year, signal-scrambling cycle is happening again from April 1 to 25. It’s not an April Fool’s Day joke, Libra. The planet of travel, communication and technology is passing the Earth in its journey ‘round the Sun, which can cause our relationships and devices—and best-laid plans—to go haywire.
