Your Horoscope This Week: 6th To 12th April

Illustrated by Wenjing Yang.
Cosmic beings, we are officially entering one of the most pivotal weeks of the month because we’ve made it to the end of Mercury retrograde! On 7th April at exactly 7:07 a.m. EST (peep the angel number 707 — completion energy!), Mercury, planet of communication, shifts direct in Pisces after a three-week retrograde journey that likely had you in your feels, spiralling in your group chats, or romanticising people and situations that didn’t really deserve that much screen time in your mind. The lesson of this retrograde? Patterns repeat themselves until you decide to learn from them. So think back on what stories, friendships, creative projects, or limiting beliefs kept popping up for you since mid-March. What were you supposed to finally release, shift, or reimagine?

We’re now entering a two-week post-shadow period, so don’t expect life to immediately go from zero to 100 overnight — but the fog is lifting. You’ll feel yourself thinking clearer, speaking freer, and feeling more grounded in your truth. The week starts with the moon in Leo, giving us a little extra courage and boldness to speak up and take action. Then, when the moon enters Virgo Tuesday through Thursday, you’ll feel the urge to spring clean — not just physically, but digitally, emotionally, spiritually. Let yourself declutter and detox so that by the time the full moon hits, you’re lighter, freer, and ready to receive the love, ease, and balance you’ve been craving.
The week builds up to one of the most beautiful and balancing lunations of the year: the Libra full moon on 12th April. This isn’t just any full moon — it’s the cosmic closure to eclipse season, which has been rocking us since the end of February. Think of this full moon as a giant exhale from the universe, a reminder that the chaos is clearing and harmony is possible again.
What makes this full moon even more special is that Venus, Libra’s planetary ruler, will be stationing direct in Pisces only 40 minutes after the full moon peaks. That’s big manifestation energy. It’s like the universe is saying, “You made it through the portal. Now let’s soften, heal, and pour love back into ourselves and each other.” Think back to the Libra solar eclipse that happened during Libra season in 2024 — themes around love, partnership, balance, and boundaries are coming full circle now. This is your cosmic green light to forgive, to move forward, and to open your heart without losing yourself in the process.

Aquarius, Mercury finally shifts direct on the 7th in your sector of money and self-worth, and honestly? About time.
