The
horoscope for April 2024
announces the end of the first eclipse season of the year. A total solar eclipse is perfected on Monday the 8th, in conjunction with the new Moon in Aries; By then, from April 1, Mercury will be retrograde and will end its apparent retreat on Thursday the 25th, when the Sun will have already entered Taurus.
Astrologer
Julieta Suárez Valente
offers more details about what these planetary transits imply in her
Astrological Agenda 2024
(Ed. Fera), and explains the step by step of a simple
ritual
to activate the root chakra in the middle of the bullfighting season.
Horoscope for April 2024: what will the sky be like?
The first movement that Suárez Valente highlights occurs on
Friday, April 5
, it is the entry of Venus, the planet of love and affection, into fiery Aries. The astrologer describes it as a “good time to reconnect with our desire and ignite the internal spark.”
By then, we will already be going through the
first retrogradation of Mercury
, in the sign of Aries, which begins on April 1st.
In general, the author maintains that
April will be “a vibrant month”
thanks to the power of the second eclipse of the year on Monday the 8th. Like all eclipses, it occurs in sync with a lunation, the new Moon in Aries.
He classifies the two events as “a great initiation portal.” In fact, he explains that they present a good opportunity to “focus our progress and put energy into the endeavors and creations that we want to shape.” For the astrologer, “
there will be energy available
and a lot of courage,” she writes.
End of April 2024: Mercury resumes its direct phase
On Friday
, April 19,
the Sun enters Taurus, an Earth sign with a fixed modality. The astrologer specifies that this solar transit “slows down the speed and puts us in contact with the body and its needs.”

Mercury retrograde ends
on Thursday the 25th
. The world of communication resumes its direct march and it is probable, writes Suárez Valente, that what was blocked will begin to flow better.
Four days later, on Monday the 29th, Taurus welcomes its ruling planet, Venus, “where the goddess feels comfortable.” The astrologer announces: “There will be a lot of emphasis on the personal care ritual” and she adds that it will be an excellent
time to pamper ourselves
, have spa days or share delicious food with our loved ones.
The energy of the second half of April will not only be governed by the Earth element, Fire will continue to add its momentum. Just before the end of the month, on Tuesday the 30th,
Mars enters Aries
, the sign of which it is ruler. Suárez Valente affirms: “There will be a lot of power, especially to start physical activity and to start postponed projects.”

You will need a
red candle
and a quiet space where you can feel comfortable. Now, I just followed the following steps:
Light a red candle while sitting firmly on the floor. I felt how the floor supports you, houses you and gives you stability.
Rest your hands on your root chakra, in your pelvic area, and imagine a huge tree root filling your entire pelvic floor, giving strength and structure to your spine.
I repeated:
“I am strong, Pacha supports me. I am a tree with deep roots. I am solid and I move forward with firm and forceful steps. That's how it is. Thank you thank you thank you".
