These April self-care horoscopes for each of the 12 zodiac signs are based on the upcoming astrological transits, (the movement of the planets around the sky), and some of the general themes that are going to be activated for you in the coming month.
As a witch, I’ll be sharing some predictions, insight, and inspiration on how you can most effectively nurture yourself and practice self-care this month based on the cosmos.
I highly recommend that you generate your birth chart at www.astro.com or www.astro-charts.com and read the horoscope for your rising sign but if you only know your sun sign, you can read for sun signs too or instead.
Please note that in order to generate a chart with an accurate rising sign, you will need your exact birth time, as even a few minutes can actually make a difference.
April 2023 Astrological Transits
- Full Moon in Libra (April 6): This will be the last full moon before eclipse season so it’s a great time to really lean into your juiciest, most beautiful moon rituals and manifestations. Call in support in finding balance in your life and your relationships.
