Readings for April 2026:
Angel Reading
using the Magical Mermaids and Dolphins Oracle Cards
Set Your Sights Higher
Sometimes we hold ourselves back, thinking we aren’t smart, wealthy, or worthy enough to achieve our dreams or have the relationships and careers we really want. But the angels are here to remind us that we absolutely can! We are fully capable of manifesting our deepest desires and deserve nothing but the very best in life.
The picture in this card shows a MerFairy as she reaches for a colourful star. She is looking up towards this star which is symbolic of “setting her sights higher” as the title of the card describes. She is not settling for the other stars as shown around her but reaches for the most beautiful and colourful star as she is not willing to compromise or settle for anything less.
The angels want the very best for you, so don't settle for anything less! You deserve a life filled with beauty, love, and abundance. God and the angels are rooting for your dreams to come true, but you have to want it for yourself, too. Believe in your worth, aim higher, and know that you truly deserve the best.
Self-forgiveness
This is a call to heal by letting go of shame, guilt, and regret. Real freedom comes from forgiving yourself and releasing the past.
Remember, you did the best you could with the tools and emotional maturity you had back then. You’ve grown since then and would handle things differently now, but those painful experiences were necessary to teach you the valuable lessons you’ve earned.
You’ve worked hard to become more heart-centred, and to keep that momentum, you need to clear out any self-judgment holding you back. Today, take a moment in prayer or meditation to intentionally release any resentment you’re still carrying against yourself.
Here is a powerful prayer to assist you: "Thank you God and Holy Spirit for healing my relationship with myself, so that I can value and love myself. Thank you for helping me to heal from emotional pain, so that I may move forward confidently on the path of my divine life purpose."

Tarot Reading

using the Rider Waite Tarot Deck
The Chariot
This card represents the fulfilling of goals, success, determination and letting nothing stand in your way. All victories are possible through willpower, self-belief, determination and concentration. You can achieve your goal if you can remain focused and have a clear vision of what you want. You are the key to your own success.
This is also a positive sign that conflict can end in victory and that your efforts will be rewarded. You could also receive unexpected good news if you have belief in your abilities. If you have been considering purchasing a new car, you can now make this a reality.
This is also an indication that a quick change of pace is coming.
Seven of Pentacles
This is a sign that you need to take stock of how much you have achieved so far and what you have yet to accomplish.
You have experienced growth and advancement as a result of hard work, ingenuity and effort. You now have a good reason to feel satisfied with all your efforts. You can be confident that successful results will follow even if they are not visible at the moment. Be patient, the ground work has been done. Remember you are not out of the woods yet.
This card is encouraging you to assess all your talents and abilities, even if they are not related to business or money. Weigh up your mental skills and your emotional strengths if you are considering doing some charity work or helping in a voluntary organisation, or if you are considering starting a family.
This card will appear if you are considering returning to work after a spell of unemployment. This card offers encouragement if you are feeling daunted.
Five of Swords
How you speak your mind is important, especially when there is unfairness at play in your work world, or if you feel there is a problem within a relationship. Think calmly and carefully before you act. Don’t escalate conflicts unnecessarily.
If you're eyeing a big purchase, do some extra homework first or trim your budget in other areas to make it work. Most importantly, don't let pride get in the way—it's okay to ask for a hand if things get tight.
Be kind to yourself right now. Instead of internalizing your anger or sadness, find a safe way to let those feelings out. Prioritize rest, and try to let go of any guilt or worry—they aren't serving you.
Summary
It appears as if a goal you set for yourself is imminent and you are about to enter into an important transaction or undertake a large purchase of something really important. You have considered all options and you’re ready to proceed. However, you appear to be experiencing internal conflict with regard to this. Do you feel you’re not ready, or the time isn’t right, or now that you’ve reached your goal, you’re not sure whether to proceed? You’ve covered all the bases, proceed with confidence, now is not the time to chastise yourself or feel guilty. Be honest with yourself. You have worked hard for this, and you are deserving.

Intuitive Astrology Forecast for April 2026
by Tanaaz
by Tanaaz
April 2026 is one of the most action-packed months of the year! If you need to get something done, are searching for answers, or want to launch a project or venture, the cosmos is aligning to support your efforts.
We have zero planets in retrograde this month, plus Mars, the planet of action and motivation, moves into its ruling sign of Aries, allowing us to direct and smooth access to its energy. We are called to stand up for ourselves, step into our confidence, and take a leap of faith.
One of the biggest days not to be missed is the Aries New Moon on April 17. This is a powerful point for manifesting and putting our requests out into the Universe. Do not pass up the opportunity on this day to let the Universe know what you need! Ask to be guided to the next best steps, ask for your guides to reveal the best answers to you, and watch how quickly things unfold!
We also have Uranus moving into Gemini this month, kicking off an incredibly new and powerful cycle of change in our lives. Uranus is the planet of surprise, so it may be hard to discern exactly what changes are going to take place, but all of these changes are set to create a truer and more authentic version of ourselves. If you need to peel back some layers, remove some blocks, or step into a fuller version of yourself, Uranus is going to be your challenger and supporting partner. Pay attention to what is manifesting for you at the end of the month for some clues as to what this new cycle may have in store for you.
Let’s take a look at the key dates this month has to offer:
April 2: Libra Full Moon
The Libra Full Moon arrives at the beginning of the month and will shine a spotlight on things that need our attention. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is activated under this Full Moon, which means things will be put under the microscope so we can assess what actions need to be taken. We may also find that some new information comes to light that changes a decision we previously made. The Full Moon in Libra, also asks us to bring balance into our lives, not just physically but also mentally.
How can we take a balanced approach to the things that are consuming our mental energy? How can we see things from other people’s perspectives? Putting ourselves in other people’s shoes may be necessary under this Full Moon as well.
April 9: Mars Enters Aries
Mars returning to its ruling sign of Aries, means we get to experience its energy in its fullest expression. We may be feeling extra motivated, charged up, and ready to take action. Mars is the warrior, moving through life with strength, confidence, and tenacity. We can all channel this energy where we need it to move ahead and to take bold leaps of faith. Mars, however, is also the planet of war, and moving into its home territory could also see an uptick of violent events or passionate protests around the world. As Mars moves into Aries, it will also align with both Neptune and Saturn, supercharging this alignment as well (more on this below).
April 12-20: Mars Conjunct Neptune & Saturn
As Mars enters Aries, it will join with both Saturn and Neptune, who are currently touring the first few degrees. Saturn and Neptune in Aries, are a powerful signature for creation and the planting of seeds. They both carry a strong manifestation energy that can help us to direct the way we wish to go. If you want to make a wish, set an intention, or take a leap into new territory, Saturn and Neptune offer the perfect combination to help us along. Saturn will ensure we work hard, and Neptune will help us to dream big! With big, hardworking dreams in sight, Mars will act as a fiery motivator, helping us to take action and actually get things done. Both Saturn and Neptune encourage slow, methodical movements, but Mars will help to speed things along, and will be a good catalyst for pushing us out of our comfort zone. Some things we need to be mindful of when Mars, Saturn, and Neptune get together in Aries include misinformation, conflicts, and grandiose or delusional ideas that do not reflect reality.
April 15: Mercury in Aries
Mercury decides to join the crew in Aries, adding to the intensity of fiery energy we are experiencing. If we needed some more fire in our lives, April surely delivers! With Mercury in Aries, our mental activity may speed up, helping us to make progress, but also potentially guiding us to leap before we look. Finding a sense of balance will be necessary here. Mercury in Aries can also help us think about ourselves, instead of others. What is best for us? What do we need to feel fulfilled moving forward?
April 16: Sun Conjunct Chiron
The Sun will align with Chiron, the asteroid of the wounded healer. This will also take place in Aries, so expect some quick and rapid spiritual insights and healing! Chiron is getting ready to finish its journey in Aries, so this may be a good time to reflect and explore some of the lessons you have experienced around wounding, healing, and stepping into your own role as a wounded healer. What comes to mind when you think of a wounded healer? Chiron carries the wound of deep abandonment and tragedy, but it is this hardship that has helped him to step into his role as a wise teacher, psychic, and healer for others. We can all take parts of Chiron’s story and make them our own, especially as Chiron aligns with the Sun.
April 17: Aries New Moon
The Aries New Moon is the most powerful time for setting intentions, creating plans, and making goals, and this year, the cosmic skies are aligned to support us in so many ways! Definitely do not miss the opportunity to set some intentions on this day. Put your requests out to the Universe and ask to be guided to the next steps, as there is so much cosmic support on your side! There is also some beautiful healing energy flowing in from Chiron as well, making this New Moon extra supportive and healing. Have confidence in yourself, believe you can achieve, and trust in the magic that the Universe offers. Things may just align in your favor.
April 20: Taurus Season Begins
If you feel you could use a break from all the fiery energy that has been flowing, you’re in luck, as today, the Sun moves into more grounded, earthy, and stable Taurus. As the previous weeks were likely very busy, charged, and action-packed, the switch to Taurus will allow us to catch our breath and slow down. We may have to assess all the moves that we made and perhaps even do some damage control. This is a time to focus on what is important, rather than spreading ourselves too thin.
April 24: Venus enters Gemini
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money, moves into Gemini, helping to light up our social lives. Venus in Gemini is a great time to socialize, network, and ask for what we want or when we need help. By speaking up, we can make progress in areas where we are struggling, so don’t be afraid to share, network, and ask around. Venus in Gemini is also a positive energy for communicating issues with our loved ones. If you need some clarity, journaling can also be extra supportive under this cosmic energy. Finally, Venus in Gemini is also a positive time to launch, or seek funding or representation for communication-based projects like a podcast or book.
April 26: Uranus enters Gemini
Uranus moving into Gemini is one of the biggest events of the year and sets us up on a brand new cycle that is going to be with us for the next 7 years. Uranus moving into Gemini, is going to light up a new area of our personal lives, bringing change, instability, and a lot of awakening. Uranus likes to rattle things, so it definitely helps to go with the flow, but remember, it only rattles so we can see what is weak and what is preventing us from stepping into a truer and more authentic version of ourselves. If you are curious what changes Uranus in Gemini will bring for you, you can check out your Horoscope report here. Paying attention to what happens today can also help to piece some clues together, but don’t try too hard, as Uranus tends to be the planet of surprise! No matter how much we plan, Uranus will find another way.
