The fire cardinal sign, known for its ambitious and passionate personalities, coincides with the spring equinox, bringing warmer weather and a fresh start needed amidst the stress of school.
This month is filled with opportunities to set new intentions, work on creating different mindsets and new adventures — all based on important astrological events including: Venus entering Aries on March 21 until April 14, Saturn entering Aquarius April 9, New Moon on April 11 and Mercury shifting into Taurus on April 19.

Aries
Aries, this is your time to shine! Besides celebrating your birthday, this Aries season will have you busy and demand a lot of energy. It is important to not overextend yourself during these times and to communicate with others on your needs, especially with significant others. While it can be easy to get caught up on celebrating your achievements and special moments this month, it is important to be selective on who you spend your time with. Carve out time for yourself by meditating, journaling, yoga, or anything relaxing.

Taurus
After spending a lot of time on projects or at work, you now need to shift your focus to self-care and stop pushing yourself beyond your limits. After all your hard work, you’ll find yourself lazier or procrastinating on the work you have left to do, but embrace this. Now is the time to work on physical and mental habits to recharge your body and mind. Listen to your intuition and work on strengthening your self-awareness.

Leo
While you’ve been having a lot of fun this month, from late nights out to entertaining your social circle, you are starting to feel tired of the mundanity of daily life and are ready for a break.

Virgo
Virgo, you will be challenged this month, especially in your relationships. You may be feeling some frustration in your relationships or maybe feeling isolated. Now is the time to express yourself and confide with others. While wearing your heart on your sleeve may feel intimidating at first, it is important to find the courage to confront your feelings. It is also important to set boundaries and welcome a clean slate for your interpersonal relationships.
The Beacon Virgos: Carlos Fuentes, Will Mulligan
Libra
Libra, you are known as peacemakers, and this month conflict may arise that you might need to mediate. Be mindful of how this interaction is viewed by others — it may not be good. It is important to stop being a people-pleaser and find a balance in your day-to-day life. You will find that once you find more balance, you will satisfy yourself and others that you find important. Romance will be in the air, whether you are seeking a new connection or bolster an old one.

Scorpio
Now is the time to tackle a lot of menial tasks you’ve been putting off, Scorpio. Whether it be errands, work or other to-do lists, you need to find a way to slow down and prioritize. You’ll find yourself especially prone to burn out due to this seemingly never-ending checklist. However, you will find a newfound sense of motivation approaching the end of April 11 that will spark more creativity. Remember, eventually you will run out of boxes to tick and you’ll get the deserving break you’ve been wanting.

Sagittarius
Things may be getting boring for you this month, Sagittarius. Try to find activities that will spark your interest as you wind down the month, and break away from your typical routines. Let your creativity loose and seek inspiration, especially in activities you can invest time into. Pick up a new hobby like painting, baking, cooking or thrifting — anything that will plug that creative outlet you may be seeking.

Capricorn
This month you will be feeling at peace and more of a homebody than usual, Capricorn. While you are tending to your household responsibilities, it is good to unwind with things that will connect you to nature. Gardening or being outdoors will help you feel more at home. While you’ve been occupied, both mentally and physically, you will receive a long-awaited lull nearing Taurus season.

With a bustling social life this month, it is important to make time to stop and focus on what you really want to do in life. Think about the trajectory of your life and jot down some goals you wish to accomplish in the near future. You will be tested to see if your vision is going in the right direction, but you have time to figure out your plans. If you have a dream, you’ll be able to accomplish it with the right mindset.

Pisces
Pisces, you need to shift your focus on rebuilding your confidence. You aren’t at your best, leaving people to underestimate your real power. Don’t let people think you aren’t a force to be reckoned with. Try to stay grounded in reality and work on the things that will give you the confidence you need to be successful for the rest of the month. Make sure you pay special attention to your financial situation. Get the ball moving on looking for a job or search for a more concrete way to secure cash flow. This may help you address some insecurity.
