Hello, star child! Your monthly tarot horoscopes—also known as tarotscopes, which feature the combination of tarot cards and astrology—are here to help you navigate 2023. For each of the 12 signs, we pull a unique tarot card to predict the month ahead for every member of the zodiac. Be sure to check out both your sun and rising sign for the most accurate reading.
This year has already started off with many important transits, and these notable shifts only continue to liven things up in April. The month is full of surprises, whether we’re ready for them or not. On April 3, Mercury enters slow-moving Taurus and asks us to speak up for ourselves and stand in self-worth. Just a few days later, the full moon in Libra arrives on April 6 to give us an opportunity to let go of any people-pleasing tendencies that may be holding us back from healthy and happy relationships. In short, this is a time for self-prioritization for all signs.
On April 11, Venus—the planet of love, sex, beauty, and money—enters fast-moving and curious Gemini. This will give us permission to explore what (and who) inspires us. Later on in the month, we begin eclipse season when, on April 20, the new moon sees a total solar eclipse in Aries that occurs on the same day the sun transitions into Taurus. What does this mean for you? Be ready for shake ups and shifts abound in your personal life. The very next day Mercury retrograde in Taurus encourages us to recalibrate, reassess, and resolve any unfinished lessons and projects. So are you ready to tie up loose ends so you can finally move forward?
And don't forget how far you've already come. On March 16, Venus—the planet of love, sex, beauty, and money—entered into luxurious and high-maintenance Taurus just a few days before Mercury (the planet of communication) entered fiery Aries. The sun joined Mercury in Aries just one day later on March 20 and a new moon arrived in Aries on March 21. You may have found that you wanted to upgrade your love life and take more initiative in order to make it happen. On February 5, we started off the month with a full moon in the fiery sign of Leo. This lunation may have ruffled some feathers, allowing you to release the ways in which you’ve been playing small. It was a good time to address anyone or anything that makes you feel insecure. The Mercury retrograde period in Capricorn ended on January 18, giving all of us space to think a little more clearly. By January 20, we closed our Capricorn season and entered into rebellious and creative Aquarius, which provided an extra dosage of clever energy.
So what lies ahead? Read on to see what’s in store for your sign—or your rising sign, which you can calculate here—in 2023 with your monthly tarotscopes. (PS: Want more guidance? Don’t forget to check your weekly horoscope on Glamour.)
