New Moon in Aries, 6 April: your 10th house
On Tuesday 6 April the Moon and the Sun meet at 16°57′ Aries, at 23:51 UTC; for Cancer that degree lies in the 10th house, the house of career and reputation.
A New Moon is read as an opening rather than an event, so the April lunation is less a happening than an invitation in your 10th house, the Midheaven: a fresh start with an authority, a boss or your own sense of responsibility. For Cancer this April, Aries lends it courage and haste in equal measure.
If you want something to do with this April lunation, decide one thing you will stop doing because it no longer serves your calling.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Cancer 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.

The Full Moon is exact at 22:27 UTC on Tuesday 20 April, with the Moon at 0°37′ Scorpio and the Sun opposite in Taurus. For Cancer the Moon lights your 5th house, the house of romance, creativity and children, while the Sun stands across in your 11th.
At a Full Moon the Moon faces the Sun across the sky, and this April it faces it from your 5th house, Good Fortune, lighting a creative work reaching the point where it has to be shown or set aside. Set in your 5th house, the April lunation takes its tone from its sign: Scorpio makes the mood deep and unflinching, interested in what lies underneath. With the Sun across the chart in your 11th house, the April Full Moon speaks along the axis of the heart and the hope: personal joy and the friends and causes you belong to.
One way for Cancer to meet it in April: spend unhurried time with a child, or with the child you were.
Planets changing sign or direction in April
Mars turns direct in Leo, in your 2nd 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 Cancer what was under review in money you earn and possessions 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 10th house. Until 24 April, with Mercury at your Midheaven, the tradition reads a spell for career plans, professional writing and speaking up at work.
Jupiter stations direct in Leo, your 2nd 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 2nd house its renewed motion touches money you earn, possessions and what you value.
On 20 April Venus moves into Aries, which is your 10th house. Until 14 May, with the lesser benefic at your Midheaven, the tradition reads a favorable spell for career dealings, especially the diplomatic ones.
On 20 April at 07:18 UTC the Sun crosses into Taurus, which for Cancer is the 11th house. Until 21 May, the Sun in your 11th house makes a month for friends, groups and hopes for the future.
Mercury crosses into Taurus on 24 April and so into your 11th house. Until 9 May, with Mercury in the house of the Good Spirit, the tradition reads a sociable spell, good for collaborations and for asking allies for advice.
Love, work and money for Cancer in April
Venus begins April in Pisces, your 9th house, and enters Aries, your 10th, on 20 April, turning affection toward how a relationship fits beside a career, and the public face of a partnership. The Full Moon on 20 April falls in your 5th, the house of romance, creativity and children.
Mars stays in Leo all month, your 2nd house, putting the month’s effort into your earnings and the price you put on your work. The New Moon on 6 April lands in your 10th, a house the tradition gives to career.
For money, Mars turns direct in your 2nd on 1 April and Jupiter turns direct in your 2nd on 13 April: the house of what you earn and own. Read April as a time for looking at income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses, without expecting the sky to settle the sums for you.
