Happy April, Libra darling! When the Sun drifted into Aries late last month, you started to feel hyper-aware of your interpersonal relationships—and like it or not, that awareness is going to carry over into this new month. On April 11, the Sun and Moon meet in this fiery sign (which just happens to be your opposite), animating the area of your chart associated with commitment, contracts, and (yes) partnership. But let’s be honest, Libra darling: You’re truly happiest when coupled! Of course, this doesn’t just apply to romantic bonds—you’re also inspired by cultivating connections with friends, classmates, and even relatives.

Aligning with a like-minded soul is a wonderful thing, but keep in mind that during the New Moon, there’s virtually no nocturnal illumination. The sky is completely dark, and likewise, it may be hard to see a situation clearly. This is an excellent time to set intentions and plant seeds (for instance, you may want to journal on your definition of a fair, balanced relationship), but hold off on taking any major action. In other words, you may want to wait to send a friendship bracelet to the person you met in the bathroom line when you were drunk the other night. Love bombing—whether romantic or platonic—is never a cute look.

But things change rather quickly when Venus (your planetary ruler, symbolizing love and values) shifts into Taurus on April 14, followed by Mercury (the planet of communication) and the Sun (symbolizing self and identity), both on April 19. In fact, when the Sun slides into this slice of the sky, it will herald the beginning of a new zodiacal season: Taurus season! Although Taurus is an earth sign known for its practicality and (ahem) hardheadedness, you actually have a lot in common with the celestial bull. Interestingly, both Libra and Taurus are governed by Venus, so the next few weeks will invite you to explore sensuality and intimacy from a deeper— perhaps even more psychological—perspective.

Taurus season serves as a reminder that connections aren’t just about quantity; they’re about quality. Simply put, there are a lot of intense things that have happened in your life and, in order to live authentically, you need to spend time with people who will support you in all your complexities. Over the next few weeks, don’t be surprised if you start drifting away from fair-weather friends and casual acquaintances. While there’s nothing wrong with light conversations, you’re beginning to realize that too much small talk can actually feel stifling. You deserve to celebrate your truth, Libra, so right now, make an active choice to emphasize authenticity.

I know this sounds like a lot of emotional heavy-lifting, Libra, but I promise there’s more to April than dramatic heart-to-hearts. In fact, the enchanting Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26 will be illuminating the area of your chart associated with personal finances, inspiring you to take a closer look at your cash. Go ahead and release any fears or limiting beliefs that may be subconsciously holding you back from achieving your financial goals. Don’t deny it, Libra: You’re craving a serious payday, and the Moon’s vibrant radiance will help you spot new opportunities where you least expect them. Be sure to check under couch cushions, go through old birthday cards, and even poke around your favorite online shops for any forgotten store credits. Whether you unearth a few pennies or a few hundreds (!!!), these unexpected resources are symbolically charged. It’s a message from the universe that you’re moving in the right direction. Keep going!
