Monthly Love Horoscope: April 2023 (2024)

But, what does ‘commitment’ truly mean and why should it be synonymous with forever-together? This month, you may find yourself questioning the beliefs you’ve grown up with; beliefs that you’ve held sacred for many years. As a meditative practice, begin to say ‘I don’t know’ a lot more, and make peace with the discomfort that’s synonymous with stepping away from the familiar. Trust that you will not only discover newer aspects of your being, but also find a way to strengthen your relationship(s). At the same time, remember that honesty truly is the policy. So, if you’re feeling the urge to explore outside of the confines of your relationship or see what else is out there, clear communication is the key.

Power crystal: Red jasper, to bring sensuality and play back into the dynamic.

You want what you want, and there’s no two ways about that. Here’s the thing, though: not everybody you cross paths with is going to want to live out the white picket fence fantasy with you. That doesn’t mean the given relationship is incapable of enriching your life in some way or adding more zing to your story. There are many ways to love and be loved, Taurus. Honour each and every connection for the unique flavour it brings to the table. At the same time, as and when you feel the desire to deepen the dynamic, have an open and honest conversation with the other person. Single Venusians, it’s time to work with the law of attraction in a conscious manner and call in the kind of partnership you truly deserve. Things didn’t work in the past because they were not meant to, not because there’s something wrong with you. Bring effortlessness back into the equation as you remember that all of life truly does come to you with ease, joy, and glory.

Power crystal: Citrine, for an extra helping of joy and sparkle, and to awaken your inherent sensuality.

Gemini, you’re done kissing frogs. This month, you’re entering your commitment era! You want to build a nest with somebody who’s ready to go all in and isn’t afraid to meet you where you are. You’re looking for more than just physical chemistry. You’re looking for a partner, a co-author and co-conspirator. Somebody who’s willing to set off on all kinds of adventures with you and experience the full spectrum of deliciousness and juiciness life has to offer. What the cards are reminding you: you deserve that mind, body and soul connection. Don’t settle. Coupled Twins, you’re being reminded that your penchant for drama is *not* serving you in any way. If you go looking for things to be dissatisfied about, you’ll always find them. On the other hand, if you focus on what is working out in this connection, you’ll be able to find solutions. Oh, and one more thing! It’s a good idea to clearly define your boundaries for yourself more than anybody else. The sooner you understand that you cannot fix other people's problems *or* put a bandaid on their wounds, the easier it will be for you to find your freedom.

Power crystal: Dalmatian jasper, to awaken your sense of awe and wonder and open yourself to the possibility of what you can co-create.

You’re in it, Cancer! You’re in the life you manifested for yourself a long time ago, and you’re closer than ever to making space for a certain somebody who promises to be your forever, if you so desire. Here’s the thing, though: our demons have a way of appearing unexpectedly when we’re happy, and dragging us down the rabbit hole of negativity. So, light the lamp of awareness. Become cognisant of the old patterns that are keeping from stepping into a new timeline altogether. At the same, don’t underestimate the power of open and honest communication. Letting the other witness your vulnerable side will only strengthen your connection and enable you to build a solid foundation for the life you envision together.

Power crystal: Mahogany obsidian, to help you ground your energy and face your fears.

This is the month to say *yes* more than you say no and to open yourself to all the deliciousness and juiciness life has to offer. The energy of the full moon in Libra at the start of April promises to activate the portal of love, passion and desire for you, beautiful. If you’re coupled, consider signing up for a tantra retreat together or exploring the length and breadth of your sensual nature in a safe and consensual manner. There’s a lot you will discover about your inner and outer Universe on this voyage. If you’re single, ditch the dated script and free yourself from the burden of other people’s expectations. Overheard at the cosmic conference: pleasure is your prerogative, beautiful.

Power crystal: Let the fiery red carnelian, which is synonymous with passion and pleasure, be your ally on this journey.

We get it, Virgo! There’s a burning desire to build a nest. To wake up next to somebody you love and to know that you can have a slice of paradise exactly where you are, day after day, month after month. But, when you are *this* close to the manifestation of your wildest dreams is when the deep-rooted fears are most likely to reappear. Become aware of these self-sabotaging patterns, beautiful. Awaken your inner alchemist and transmute what no longer serves your highest and greatest good. ‘Course we’re not telling you to diminish your desires or ignore the elephant(s) in the room. We’re simply encouraging you to have an open and honest conversation with the other and find solutions together. Just a reminder: you’re unstoppable when you’re an A-team.

Power crystal: Kyanite, to allay your fears and to express your truth with clarity.

This month, you want it all. You want the freedom to be your own person, to explore the unexplored and to run with the wolves. At the same time, you’re seeking commitment. There’s a burning desire to build a nest with somebody special. Do yourself a favour and start by not looking at the two as contradictory. Moving into a space of ‘we’ doesn’t necessarily mean dissolving the ‘me’. There is a way for both of these identities to coexist peacefully and harmoniously. So, welcome this time as an invitation to do the inner work and examine the beliefs that are hindering you from stepping into the life you truly desire. Overheard at the cosmic conference: you deserve a happily-ever-after just like everybody else, beautiful.

Power crystal: Rose quartz, the mother of all love crystals, to call in a special somebody who wants to dance the dance of life with you.

We want you to let you in on a secret, Scorpio: the algorithm of the Universe is perfect and the algorithm of the Universe is always working in your favour. This month, the algorithm of the Universe is conspiring to fulfil your wildest dreams and your deepest desires. The only thing you need to do is step into the quantum field of miracles and allow what has always been yours to find its way to you. The full moon in Libra is enabling you to attract the kind of partnership that will uplift your spirit and support your growth. Coupled Plutonians, accept what’s taking place in the internal landscape as an invitation to address the shadows and integrate the so-called dark parts with the light of awareness. You stop seeing the other person as the villain in your story when you recognise that *you* are responsible for your happiness.

Power crystal: Rhodochrosite to heal your inner child and awaken compassion for yourself and others.

You’re in it, Sagittarius! You’re in the reality you manifested a long time ago, and it’s only going to get better from here! Give yourself the permission to savour the sweetness that is being poured into your chalice this month as you offer a prayer of gratitude for all that you have and all that is yet to come. Archers who are in a long-distance relationship are being encouraged to take that leap of faith. You won’t know how good it can get unless you give yourself the chance to discover the length and breadth of this relationship. Single Sagittarians, the onset of spring is offering you the chance to begin your own healing journey. So, sit down with the wounds and listen to what they have to say. Witness that which is yearning to be witnessed within. Unless you address the old wounds, you won’t be able to write a new story for yourself.

Power crystal: Pink tourmaline, to journey back to your address and address the old wounds that are resurfacing at this moment.

You’re in the reality you manifested a long time ago, Capricorn, but the reality is not bringing you joy in the way you envisioned. Do yourself a favour and take a long, hard look in the mirror. Become aware of how you could be burdening your relationship with the weight of unrealistic expectations. Golden words by spiritual teacher and self-help author Eckhart Tolle to contemplate on as you go about your day, “If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self-mastery tool that keeps realigning for my higher purpose of living.” Single Saturnians, sulking about your past and/or how everybody else in your life is busy setting #couplegoals is only going to take you down the rabbit hole of negative emotions. Raise your vibrations, put yourself out there and focus on the possibility of what you can co-create with the forces. Overheard at the cosmic conference: what you seek is seeking you.

Power crystal: Amazonite, to heal emotional trauma, to balance your inner masculine and feminine and to awaken feelings of self-love.

We get it, Aquarius. You want love and you want freedom, and the problem with love is that you see it as a contradiction to freedom. Just a reminder: you don’t have to play by the rules of the matrix and you don’t have to adhere to a dated script. If your conditioning is weighing down on you, do the inner work required to reassess your beliefs and find your freedom. Moving into a space of clarity will enable you to have an open and honest conversation with the other about what you desire from this connection and how you would like to revise the rules of engagement. Single water bearers, honour spring as a time to build a stronger connection with yourself. Contemplate on what inner union truly means to you. Sometimes, the quest for commitment will require you to sit down with the void within and listen to what it has to say.

Power crystal: White calcite, to expand your consciousness and to shed the parts of you that are no longer supporting your growth and evolution.

This month, you’re feeling a burning desire for change. A burning desire to revise the rules of engagement and to relate with the other in a different manner. Give your relationship the permission to evolve with you and trust that they will admire the version of you that you are stepping into as much as the version they first fell in love with. Single Neptunians, you are being reminded that you are the co-creator of your reality and that you have the power to change the script whenever you feel ready. Instead of giving the past *this* much power, imagine the best case scenario and trust Spirit to meet you there. At the same time, be open to what your family and friends have to say. With a little bit of help and encouragement from them, you could just end up meeting your person. Overheard at the cosmic conference: age is *not* a factor and you’re never too old to feel the fluttering of the butterflies in your stomach.

Power crystal: Rhodonite, to bring peace, balance and harmony into the dynamic, and to call in the kind romantic connection you truly desire and deserve.
