The
lunar calendar for April 2024
will be influenced in the first weeks by the Arian impetus and the element of Fire. Mercury will be retrograde from April 1 to 25 in Aries, the first solar eclipse of the year will occur in this sign and, throughout the month, Venus and Mars will also enter the sign of the ram.
As for the
Moon
,
April begins in Capricorn
, welcoming autumn, and ends the month in the first degrees of Aquarius, when it will have already passed through the twelve zodiac signs.
In dialogue with
Clarín
, astrologer
Rocío Sabatini
told what it will mean for the new Moon in April 2024 to occur simultaneously with a
solar eclipse in Aries , how the energies will be displayed in the waxing and waning quarters and what the
full Moon in Scorpio
will have in store for us.
.
Sabatini pointed out that April will be “a month of
energy crossed by the fire
of actions, the beginnings, the impulses of passion,” but with a share of “irascible and frustrated airs” in the atmosphere.

The Moon, further from Earth than during a total eclipse, will block much of our view of the Sun.
The predominance of this element, explained the astrologer, happens because both the new Moon and the full Moon will occur in
signs influenced by Mars
. Although Scorpio is a Water sign, its former ruler was the red planet and "it has a Martian style defined and marked through its passionate passage through the world."
The most important lunar phases of April 2024
The Moon passes through the twelve signs of the zodiacal wheel in a period of approximately 29 days. The astrologer indicated that during this cycle
four fundamental phases
are perfected
: waning quarter, new Moon, waxing quarter and full Moon.
Astrology studies each of these phases carefully because it attributes an important meaning to them. Sabatini specified that this luminary symbolizes
our emotional world and needs
. Knowing how it changes provides information to understand how it relates to the prevailing energies of the sky according to the date.

Before detailing in which sign the four most important lunations of the month will occur, it is advisable to review
what each one symbolizes
:
🌑 New Moon:
occurs when the Moon and the Sun are located in exactly the same sign and to the same degree. It is the lunation that begins the lunar cycle and, therefore, presents the ideal time to plant new purposes, do energy cleansing, salt baths and visualize projects.
🌗 Crescent:
occurs one week after the new moon, when the Sun illuminates half of the visible face of the Moon. It marks a period to investigate our actions and decisions. During this phase, it is important to connect with nature, take walks and breathe deeply, tune in to our intentions.

Full moon:
the best-known lunation, it happens every time the Sun completely illuminates the visible side of the Moon. It is a key phase to intuit how we see and delve into our less luminous side. The energy available invites us to seek new forms of expression such as dancing, singing, drawing, painting.
🌓 Waning Quarter:
The fourth and last of the lunations provides the opportunity to identify our learnings. As cosmic energy wanes, we pause, come to conclusions, put an end to what no longer resonates with us, and rest before another cycle.
Lunar calendar April 2024: what will the Moon be like in the month of the second eclipse of the year
Sabatini considered that one of the advantages of knowing
what the Moon will be like
in April is that it helps us recognize the signs that will star in each phase and which planetary aspects will become more relevant when “touching” the luminary during the month.
With this in mind, the specialist indicated one by one the interpretation of the four most important lunar phases of April.
Last quarter in Capricorn: April 2, 2024
From April 1 the Moon will be in Capricorn. However, it will be a day later when it reaches the exact phase of the last quarter, generating a perfect square with the Sun in Aries. “This panorama will help us
give structure to everything
that balances us in the professional world,” said the astrologer.
Sabatini recommended starting the month by putting together a
vision board
, the board or
collage
filled with images and affirmations specifying the objectives we want to achieve within a period of time.

Starting from this lunation,
setting a goal per day
—no matter how small it may seem—is an excellent way to solidify what we want to achieve in the work field. Furthermore, the specialist considered that it is “a prosperous terrain to understand
what place we occupy in the world
and how we contribute to society.”
The Moon will remain in its waning phase until the new Moon eclipse in Aries on April 8, passing through the signs of Aquarius and Pisces.
On
Wednesday the 3rd and Thursday the 4th,
the Aquarian vibe will be a call for independence and rebellion against the world. Sabatini described it as “a good time to work on detachment and singular creativity.”
Between
Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th
, thanks to the Piscean influence, the vibration will be loving, supportive, sensitive and “open-hearted.” Two resonant days that will give way, on
Sunday, April 7
, to the prelude to the eclipse with all the force of Aries. The astrologer specified that the vibration will not respond too much to reflection but to impulse.
New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aries: April 8, 2024
On Monday, April 8, not only will the Aries cycle begin with the
new Moon in this sign, at 3:18 p.m. (Argentine time) a
total eclipse of the Sun
will take place
. The event will last 4 minutes and 28 seconds and can be seen in Mexico, the United States and Canada.
During a total solar eclipse,
the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun
and blocks the passage of solar rays, thus momentarily casting a shadow on the Earth's sphere. Astrology interprets the event as a portal date and does not rule out the acceleration of processes to which we will have to put an end to.

As this event occurs in Aries, the astrologer indicated that it will generate a lot of energy for beginnings of all kinds and, above all, an
absence of fears and doubts
. “Aries is a sign linked to individuality and determination; “This eclipse can mean an ideal time to define intentions and embark on new life journeys.”
Sabatini explained that, being a new Moon, he proposes a closing of the cycle before undertaking new objectives. For this reason, he recommended analyzing what we visualize in the super full moon in Aries, on September 29, 2023 and proposed asking ourselves two questions: what was I concluding at that time with respect to my own initiatives? What did I feel during that period and how do I associate it? with the present?
After the solar eclipse and while more information is revealed from the sky, the
Moon in its waxing phase will transit
the signs of
Taurus, Gemini
and the first degrees of
Cancer
. “The energy from Tuesday the 9th to Thursday the 11th will be slow and rhythmic, since it is a Venusian vibe that has a great register of the body and the here and now,” explained the astrologer.

Later, on Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th, the
Moon in Gemini
will make available tools to communicate better with friends and siblings, motivate us to start new readings and incorporate new knowledge into our routine.
On
Sunday the 14th
, “the Moon in Cancer will offer us more protection and
staying at home
will be a perfect option to feel protection and security with those we love most,” Sabatini said.
Waxing quarter in Leo: April 15, 2024
Around midnight on
Monday the 15th, the Moon will enter Leo
, where it will remain until Thursday the 18th. The leonine vibration in the first quarter phase will bring out our most fun and genuine side.
Sabatini stated that it will be a good time to
give value to our qualities
and talents, to what makes us unique.

On Friday, April 19, the
Sun will enter Taurus
and, one day later, in this same sign there will be a conjunction that has not occurred for thirteen years: the
meeting of Uranus and Jupiter
. The conjunction will be in the 21st degree of the sign and represents one of the most relevant transits of the first half of 2024.
At the same time, the
Moon will move to the sign of Virgo
and, as the astrologer explained, we will be able to add more efficient methods to our routine and habits. Thus, on
Sunday the 21st and Monday the 22nd
, with the satellite in the sign of Libra we will have the opportunity to “explore scenarios where our partner or partners are protagonists”, prioritizing harmony in our most important bonds.
Full Moon in Scorpio: April 23, 2024
The
Full Moon in April 2024
will be at 4 degrees of the sign of Scorpio and, in the words of the astrologer, “it will propose a passionate and transformative energy field”, a change of skin.

Scorpio is the sign that, like the phoenix,
is reborn from the ashes
. For this reason, it is associated with great emotional power, transmutation and the search for a hidden truth.
“It is likely that on this Full Moon we are inclined to delve into the feelings that go deeper into our hearts and
face our darkest side
to heal internal wounds and direct them toward healthier places,” Sabatini explained.
The specialist recommended examining what goals we set for ourselves during the new Moon in Scorpio on November 13, 2023. Six months later, we can ask ourselves about our healing process. What were you reviewing about your personal power? How was your healing process of those stagnant emotions that needed to come to light? What did you feel back then and how do you associate it with the current period?
After a mobilizing full moon
, on Wednesday the 24th and Thursday the 25th
the Moon will begin to wane again, but remaining in Scorpio. The expert stated that we will continue to record the metamorphosis that the full Moon may have generated in us. “It is an ideal cycle for
energetic cleansing
and new beginnings,” she said.

On Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th the
Moon will enter Sagittarius
and the energy will respond to an optimistic tone, good humor and a lot of self-confidence and enthusiasm in our goals for 2024.
Finally, Sabatini pointed out that, between
Sunday, April 28 and Tuesday, April 30
, the lunar vibration in Capricorn will invite us to focus on perfecting our organization in the workplace and
directing actions
that facilitate the fulfillment of our responsibilities. On the
last night of April
the Moon will have already entered Aquarius to welcome May with the lessons that we have integrated.
