The start of April means we’re officially in the Spring, which happens to fall in Aries season, aka astrological New Year.
It’s a time for new beginnings and growth, which is helped along by Mercury turning direct on April 7 after a long few weeks of retrograde-based hiccups.
Then, a Full Moon in Libra on April 13 calls for a Spring clean of your circles. Look at who makes you feel good and who does the opposite, and decide where your energy is best directed towards.
The arrival of Taurus season on April 19 puts stability at the forefront of your priorities, bringing a boost to your relationships and your bank balance, while the month’s end sees Venus moving into Aries for a blast of motivation to make stuff happen.
Ahead, you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the month of April 2025, with three tarot cards drawn for each sign and their meaning for you explained.

Diversity and adaptability are your Mercury super powers, and you’ll be glad of that this April, as they put you ahead of the pack and able to see opportunity where others only see chaos or setbacks. The Eight of Cups has you involved in something that fails or doesn’t work out as hoped – it happens, that’s life, it’s not the end of the world. Accept it and move on… because something better is coming.
The Nine of Wands asks you to push past the disappointment swiftly and tackle whatever the ’hard thing’ is that came out of this, and others have turned away from. You can turn this ‘hard thing’ into a shining, gleaming gem that no one else deserves or can achieve because they didn’t do the work!
The Two of Coins sees your accomplishment winning the admiration of others, as well as the opportunities that flow with that, unlocking a whole new flurry of possibility. Go, Gemini!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot cards for Leo for April: The High Priestess, Two of Swords, The Fool
Meaning: Big bold leaps
Deeply instinctive and intuitive ideas and insights are winging your way this April, in moments of stillness and peace, with The High Priestess. Don’t look for these moments… they will come to you. And they are coming for a reason: to nudge you into bold decisions and new beginnings!
The Fool is the Aries-like leap into the unknown, the radical fresh start, the new chapter that no one (not even you) saw coming. Sometimes, life is erratic and unexpected but in that eclectic space we can make changes and pivots that no amount of planning would’ve enabled. Sometimes you have to go with your gut and jump!
The Two of Swords shows that all of this instinctive action will lead to many decisions being made almost without conscious intent. You will sort out a plethora of things that have been awaiting your attention, they’ll all get caught up in the mix. Here’s to new beginnings, Leo!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot cards for Virgo for April: The Moon, Six of Swords, Two of Wands
Meaning: Less is more
You are a naturally busy and go-getting kind of character – always on the go, always working and striving and doing things. But you need to prioritise because you’re in danger of spreading yourself too thinly to achieve the things you most want at the standard you hold yourself to.
The Two of Wands wants more focus. The Six of Swords wants you to cut ties with a few things. Nothing that is important or urgent or needed. The kind of commitments, habits, acquaintances that you don’t really need or even like that much, but have let fester or take root. Have a cull. Prune your lifestyle.
The Moon reveals that this month’s new and full moon will both bring ideas and insights of how to do this and what truly matters to you. Tune into your own thoughts and intuition, let them guide you. Don’t be told by others or influenced by expectation… this is about designing your ideal life.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot cards for Libra for April: Ace of Cups, Three of Swords, Five of Coins
Meaning: A new relationship
Once upon a time, your heart was broken. The Three of Swords releases an echo or memory or even an encounter that takes you back to that sad time. Betrayal, cruelty, or turmoil. You endured it and you then walked away from it. Good for you. The Universe is ready to remind you of your fortitude AND bring you a reward. Karma was watching and taking notes (as ever).
The Five of Coins sees you feeling relieved, released, and empowered by the journey you’ve been on here. And you start talking about it to other folk. They understand, they share similar experiences, and you realise that you have more in common with people than you thought.
The Ace of Cups is the prize, or reward, for all of this sharing and that is a beautiful new friendship or even romance. A loyal and loving bond is created, possibly with a creative and empathetic Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio). When you open up, you let people in. Get the balance right between both and life will feel empowering, busy, fulfilling and fruitful this month.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot cards for Scorpio for April: Judgment, The Lovers, The Magician
Meaning: This is it
A trio of major arcana cards means it’s going to be a big April. What’s in store? Well, Judgment sees you thinking about yourself, your strengths and talents, their fit with your current role or lifestyle, and how you might adjust in order to align your life with your true self. This is the most powerful pivot you’ll make in 2025! Putting your true nature at the heart of your lifestyle makes a difference, it changes the perspective.
The Lovers has you torn about what to do, head vs heart decisions, unclear pathways, doubt over your abilities etc… but this fog will lift. Don’t abandon your dreams but keep working on them.
A powerful magical moment will emerge with The Magician where you see exactly what you can do to breathe life into your passions, interests, and talents. You are going to create a niche just for you that lets you be your whole, magical self! This is the time of your life, Scorpio!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot cards for Sagittarius for April: Seven of Swords, Nine of Coins, King of Coins
Meaning: Building wealth
Don’t sweat the small stuff this April, Sag. Onwards and upwards, it’s the long game that counts, not the pettiness of others over things that will be forgotten in a week. Don’t pay any attention to the shenanigans of shady folk right now. The Seven of Swords wants you out of the drama and focusing on brighter, bolder things, looking ahead and making long-term plans and ambitions.
The Nine and King of Coins are powerful wealth cards. You have got bigger fish to fry! Look at your career trajectory, your earning capacity, your ability to diversify, retrain, add new skills, take on a portfolio of work, invest your capital, make your money work a bit harder, release some asset value and re-invest in something more lucrative.
Look at the long game and look at what moves you can make to increase your revenue potential. This is where you’ll get lucky this April!

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot cards for Capricorn for April: Queen of Swords, Two of Cups, The World
Meaning: Have it all
I feel like this is a month you want to ‘have it all’ and you might just make it, Cap! If anyone can, it’s you. The World is a signal of ultimate achievement, of ‘arriving’ at a destination long awaited. You have worked very hard to build up the lifestyle you want to lead and maybe now it’s time to lean into that fully, why wait? Life is short. Start doing the things you’ve saved for, activate the big ideas, make daily life smooth and fulfilling. Do all the little rituals and habits you read about and love the look of.
Relationships can flourish when you’re feeling happy and motivated too. The Two of Cups is a blissful love card so expect to fall, or fall more deeply, in love this April! A happy ever after awaits, you’re a wonderful partner.
And your solo projects and goals are all there to be worked on and played for too. The Queen of Swords gifts you with the creativity, insight, and intel to make huge in-roads on your personal projects. Power to you, Cap!

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot cards for Aquarius for April: Eight of Wands, The Devil, Page of Wands
Meaning: Persuasion
I wouldn’t go as far as to call in manipulation, but you’re certainly going to be using very potent powers of persuasion this April, and why not! If you can influence events to go your way then why wouldn’t you, right?
The Devil gives you the self confidence and daring to go for what you want. It’s very nice to support others and all, but sometimes you’ve got to get some for yourself. The key to this door is shown by the Eight of Wands: communication and networking. You need to talk your way in. You need to cajole, convince and persuade, and you will find this easy because you have an authenticity that is natural and powerful.
The Page of Wands sees this feeling more playful than it sounds, and you might need to try a few different tactics, but stick with it. You can get what you want, and it’s all talk!

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot cards for Pisces for April: Page of Cups, The Tower, King of Swords
Meaning: Huge progress
You’re stronger than you think and you will surprise yourself this April with how easily and naturally the powers of rationality, ruthlessness, and resilience flow to you. It changes how you feel about yourself, actually, and what chances you might take in future, so lean into this experience.
The Tower sees you encountering a tough moment, a revelation, a change in events. Something is likely to end, although in hindsight you can admit it was a long time coming, and you actually feel relief (the first surprise) that this is out in the open and done with. The Page of Cups sees a child-like version of you coming to your rescue with comfort, insight, and creative ideas about how to rebuild or where to head next. This feels inspiring and exciting. It’s fun to have a clean slate sometimes!
The King of Swords sees a more tough, ruthless version of you then taking the reins as you put your dreams and plans into action. No one is getting in your way. You are full activated. Go make magic!
