leo Monthly Horoscope

April - April showers are here with abundance and gifts for you, beautiful Leo!

Yes, April is live, direct, and in full swing. Bringing long-term success, expansion, and possibility. However, there is one major theme at play: trust. Trust yourself to build, sustain, and create the life you deserve. Trust that the seeds you have planted are growing, even if you cannot see them at this time. Your dreams are within reach, but are you willing to fully believe in them? Let’s explore your monthly horoscope and uncover your April guidance.

Venus kicks off the month in a series of deep shifts, as it conjuncts the North Node on April 1st. This close union is about power, shared resources, and unseen forces influencing your life. Whether it is financial, emotional, or spiritual, something is evolving, which calls for a new level of trust and surrender. Have you been holding on too tightly to anything? Where is control slipping through your fingers? April asks you to move with grace and confidence, knowing that what is meant for you cannot be taken.

The waxing moon enters your sign on the 5th, amplifying your presence, emotions, and power. A reset is taking place here, a moment of renewal. This is the recharge you've been awaiting if you've been feeling disconnected from yourself. There is something magnetic about your energy, so people will notice you more, and opportunities will come knocking at your door. Set intentions, step into your authentic self, and show the world who you really are.

On the 7th, Mercury turns direct, bringing much needed answers and enlightening news. If plans have been delayed or miscommunications have caused setbacks, momentum returns. Conversations that stalled pick back up, and the confusion of the past few weeks lifts. If you’ve been unsure about a decision, this is when the missing pieces fall into place. Make the move you've been hesitating about. Speak your truth, take action, and don't sit around waiting for things to happen. Every shift, every change, every moment of enlightenment, reveals something greater. Are you ready to claim it?

On April 12th, a Pink Moon arrives in Libra, and ignites the way you interpret and process the world around you. A lunation like this acts as a cosmic amplifier, heightening your awareness of your voice, how you engage in conversations, and how your words manifest reality. Unspoken truths may surface, long-overdue conversations may take place, and situations that require mental discernment and emotional intelligence become inevitable. If you’ve been sitting on a decision, this is the moment the Universe nudges you to say what needs to be said. Your thoughts and how they influence your world are revealed by this Full Moon. Are you reinforcing the vision you want for yourself, or are your words tethered to outdated beliefs? Every conversation, every intention, every passing thought is manifesting. Pay attention to what you speak into existence because the energy of this lunation is working in real time.

Meanwhile, Venus, Libra's ruler, turns direct, providing movement to matters that had been stuck in limbo. Love, money, power, and deeper commitments are undergoing a change in energy-what once felt uncertain now requires a clear roadmap. You might see defining moments in a relationship if things were foggy. Financial matters tangled up in delays or confusion? A new pathway emerges. The themes of shared energy, trust, and the balance of give-and-take are now at the forefront of your life. You might see this as unexpected financial shifts, a deeper connection, or even a realization about where you've invested too much (or too little) of yourself. It's time to recalibrate, to let go of what no longer serves you, and to step into your power. Recognize the patterns to actively break them.

Your focus shifts to expansion, wisdom, and the next big step on April 16th, as Mercury reenters Aries. This is the point at which your perspective shifts if you have experienced mental cloudiness, uncertainty, or repetitive cycles. The Universe is pushing you to think bigger, to step outside of your comfort zones, and to believe that you are capable of more than you think. You are here to break free from limitations, whether self-imposed or unconsciously accepted.

Mars reenters your sign on the 17th, but don't worry, Leo, this time it comes with gifts. If you recall, Mars entered your sign in November 2024, igniting a deep shift in your outlook on life. However, Mars went retrograde before you had time to run with it, causing you delays, introspection, and lessons in patience. It dipped back into Cancer, forcing emotional healing, turned direct, and now? And now, it’s back in your sign, fully activated, fully charged, and ready to take your life to the next level. It's not just Mars returning to your sign, it's you reclaiming your power. Whatever held you back before is no longer a barrier. What are you going to do with this open path? Because the Universe is watching.

On April 19th, Taurus season begins, and your home, foundation, and deepest sense of stability become a focal point. After the high-energy push of the last few weeks, this shift grounds you, making you reflect on the structures that support you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Where do you feel the most secure? What areas of your life need strengthening?

Taurus season slows the pace, but exposes shaky foundations. Living situations, family dynamics, or even emotional patterns passed down through generations can come to light. This season makes it impossible to ignore what's going on in your home or personal life. Sudden moves, decisions about home, or shifts in family relationships could manifest. Your body may also signal where you're carrying emotional weight; fatigue, digestion issues, or tension in the neck and shoulders could be signs that something deeper needs to be addressed.

Sun square Pluto on 23rd, intensifying whatever is brewing underneath the surface. Control, independence, and security may be tested, resulting in power struggles, hidden truths, or deep realizations. The transit isn't gentle; it's direct and demands honesty about what needs to change. If you have been experiencing tension in your personal life, this square could cause it to explode. Avoid manipulation. Your strength comes from standing firm in your truth, not forcing things to go your way.

A New Moon in Taurus arrives on the 27th, marking a powerful reset in your personal life. It's not just about new beginnings, but about building something that lasts. Whether it's securing a home, strengthening family ties, or redefining security for yourself, this lunation asks you to plant seeds for long-term stability and till the soil of your soul. This is the fresh start you've been looking for. Focus on the things that make you feel safe, loved, and worthy when setting intentions.

The month ends with Venus entering fellow Fire sign Aries, and there is no looking back at the past. There's a shift from reflection to action, from emotional weight to newfound freedom. Anything or anyone that keeps you tied to old cycles? It’s losing its hold.

Overall, this month is about trust, power, and stability. With the month drawing to a close, you are stepping forward with confidence, realizing that the pain of the past does not have to define your future in a negative way.

Self-care tip: Your self-care tip this month is to balance your thoughts and energy distribution by working with your spleen meridian. Engage in gentle self-massage on the inner legs, ankles to thighs, to boost flow and clear mental fog. Support clarity and focus with warm, grounding foods like squash, root vegetables, and cinnamon. Take deep breaths, allowing each exhale to release scattered energy and bring you back to center.

April's affirmation: "My energy is sacred, my focus is sharp, and I only support what truly ignites and nourishes my soul. The path unfolding before me this month inspires me to confidently walk in my power."
