Mercury Enters Taurus, Mars Enters Pisces: Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of April 11

Two planetary transits are happening this week!

Mercury enters Taurus on Sunday (April 10) ahead of Taurus Season, and this ushers in a period where communication with other people naturally slows down. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find yourself leaving people on “read” more often as you take more time to craft your messages for the sake of getting your point across in a clearer way.

Mars enters Pisces, meanwhile, on Thursday (April 14) and this means that you’re more likely to use your fighting energy to keeping the peace and advocating kindness towards other people. You’ll be more inclined to go with the flow too and will struggle to get out of the comforts of your bed. (“Five more minutes, please!”)

Here’s how these transits will affect each of the signs this week:

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

Someone or something broke your heart recently and you have been coping with it rather negatively, showing self-sabotaging or unhealthy behavior. Understand that this will only harm you more. Heal yourself from your wounds and trust in your inner strength to get through these tough times.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Stop trying to take on more responsibilities or saying yes to different opportunities if your whole heart isn’t going to be in it completely. Assess why you’re doing the things you do—is it in exchange for a reward, such as recognition or social status? Or is it for growth and fulfillment? Always stay true to yourself.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

You are currently overwhelmed with all the conflict that’s going on around you and you feel powerless in trying to control it. Everyone seems to have different opinions and no one is actually taking the time to hear everyone else out. Try to be the first to give way to set an example for all; otherwise, if nothing changes, you’re better off stepping away for a moment and finding a better place.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

You are craving for something that will help you find deeper meaning in your everyday life, but constantly searching for it may only increase your feelings of dissatisfaction. Focus instead on your current responsibilities and pour out your heart, soul, and effort into them. By simply doing what you enjoy, you’ll eventually find that fulfillment.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You may be experiencing dark days right now, feeling lost, unmotivated, and terrified of things going wrong. But understand that this may all just be in your head. You always have the power to make your days brighter! You just need to shake off this negativity and keep pursuing your passions with patience and commitment, never giving up no matter how many times you doubt yourself.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You feel as though there is lack of harmony in your life and it’s probably because you’ve been juggling so many responsibilities for the sake of pleasing other people. This is your sign to stop doing so! Let go of tasks that don’t benefit you and do what you love instead! This is the time for personal transformation, to make room for something new, and to grow from your experiences.

Libra (September 23 – October 21)

You are currently involved in a conflict with a loved one or a peer as you’re struggling to see eye-to-eye or reach an understanding about something. You must detach yourself from your emotions so that you can find a clear-cut solution to end this issue. When the heart starts clouding your judgement, you know that it’s best to listen to logic.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You seem to have lost sight of what fuels your fire, and now you’re uncertain, unmotivated, and insecure about pursuing your passions. These moments of doubt are normal—the true test is whether or not you’re willing to overcome these obstacles and see your vision through. Just take it step by step and trust yourself!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

A new world is calling out to you and this is your sign to absolutely say yes and dive right in! By stepping out of your comfort zone to take on much bigger ambitions, you are aligning yourself more closely to your core values. Stay true to what your heart wants for your personal growth.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You are reevaluating your life at the moment, wondering if you’re at the right place and heading towards the right direction. Trust that as long as you’re doing what you love, you are right where you need to be! Keep putting your ideas into action and just go for them—clarity and fulfillment will come eventually.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You are currently trapped in your mind as you suffer doubts, anxieties, and negative thought patterns about your life at the moment. However, what you may not realize is that this is just a self-inflicted prison that you can always free yourself from! Don’t be afraid to ask for help from true friends who understand you. Bad days don’t mean a bad life!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You are currently feeling frustrated by not being appreciated or recognized for your talents and, because of it, you feel the need to push yourself further to prove your worth. Be careful, though, because constant striving may cause you to hurt yourself and your relationships with other people. Don’t burn yourself out!
