New Moon in Aries, 6 April: your 1st house
The New Moon is exact at 23:51 UTC on Tuesday 6 April, at 16°57′ Aries, in Aries itself: counted by whole signs, your own sign is the 1st house, the house of the self and the body.
Astrologers treat the New Moon as the month’s quiet beginning; in April that beginning is made in your 1st house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Hour-marker, and it is read as an intention about energy and presence, small enough to keep and personal enough to matter. In your 1st house this April, Aries lends it courage and haste in equal measure.
One way for Aries to meet it in April: notice where you shrink in a room and practice standing as if you were allowed to be there.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Aries forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.

Tuesday 20 April brings the Full Moon at 0°37′ Scorpio, exact at 22:27 UTC, opposite the Sun in Taurus, and for Aries it lands in the 8th house, the house of shared money, intimacy and deep change.
In the old reckoning the Full Moon was the month’s midpoint, a time to gather in, and in April the gathering happens in your 8th house, the Idle Place: the depth of trust in your closest bond, and where it has thinned. For Aries this April, Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars in the old books, gives it an intense and private manner. With the Sun across the chart in your 2nd house, the April Full Moon speaks along the axis of what is yours and what is shared: earnings and debts, possessions and trust.
A practice for the April Full Moon: let yourself grieve something you have been too busy to grieve.
Planets changing sign or direction in April
Mars turns direct in Leo, in your 5th house: after 81 days of backward motion since 10 January, drive and momentum return. The turn comes on 1 April, at 20°55′ Leo. For Aries what was under review in romance and creativity can begin to move after 1 April, though the tradition counsels a few more days before signing or launching anything large.
On 8 April Mercury moves into Aries, which is your 1st house. Until 24 April, with Mercury, who rejoices in the 1st house, in your own sign, the tradition reads a sharp, restless spell, good for decisions about yourself.
Jupiter stations direct in Leo, your 5th house, ending the retrograde loop it began on 12 or 13 December 2026. The turn comes on 13 April, at 16°59′ Leo, and in your 5th house its renewed motion touches romance, creativity and children.
On 20 April Venus moves into Aries, which is your 1st house. Until 14 May, with the lesser benefic in your own sign, the tradition reads a favorable spell for appearance, self-care and new attractions.
On 20 April at 07:18 UTC the Sun crosses into Taurus, which for Aries is the 2nd house. Until 21 May, the Sun in your 2nd house puts money, possessions and self-worth in the light, a month for the practical side of a life.
Mercury enters Taurus on 24 April, your 2nd house. Until 9 May, with Mercury in your house of money, the tradition reads a practical spell for paperwork about earnings and spending.
Love, work and money for Aries in April
Venus begins April in Pisces, your 12th house, and enters Aries, your 1st, on 20 April, turning affection toward how you present yourself to someone new, and how much of yourself you let a partner see.
Mars stays in Leo all month, your 5th house, putting the month’s effort into creative work and any project you care about for its own sake.
For money, the Sun arrives in your 2nd on 20 April, the Full Moon on 20 April falls in your 8th and Mercury arrives in your 2nd on 24 April: the house of what you earn and own. The tradition would make April a time to review income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses in Taurus’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
Questions to carry through April
- Does the way I present myself still match who I am becoming?
- What would I let go of if I believed I would be all right?
- What would I create if no one judged it?
