New Moon in Aries, 6 April: your 9th house
Tuesday 6 April brings the New Moon at 16°57′ Aries, exact at 23:51 UTC, and for Leo it falls in the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning.
Astrologers treat the New Moon as the month’s quiet beginning; in April that beginning is made in your 9th house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the God, and it is read as an intention about meaning: what your life is for, beyond what it is doing. In your 9th house this April, Aries lends it courage and haste in equal measure.
A practice for the April New Moon: write down one belief you hold, and the reason you hold it.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Leo 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 Leo the Moon lights your 4th house, the house of home, family and roots, while the Sun stands across in your 10th.
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 4th house, the Subterranean: how much of your energy goes into a place, and how much comes back from it. Set in your 4th house, the April lunation takes its tone from its sign: Scorpio lends it loyalty, depth and a long memory. With the Sun across the chart in your 10th house, the April Full Moon speaks along the axis of home and career: the private root and the public branch of a life.
If you want something to do with this April lunation, write down what home means to you now, not what it meant when you were young.
Planets changing sign or direction in April
Mars turns direct in Leo, in your 1st 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 Leo what was under review in the body and your appearance 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 9th house. Until 24 April, with Mercury in the house of the God, the tradition reads a spell for big questions, good teachers and travel arrangements.
Jupiter stations direct in Leo, your 1st 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 1st house its renewed motion touches the body, your appearance and first impressions.
Venus enters Aries on 20 April, your 9th house. Until 14 May, with Venus in the house of the God, the tradition reads a spell for pilgrimages of the pleasant kind and for love that widens your world.
On 20 April at 07:18 UTC the Sun crosses into Taurus, which for Leo is the 10th house. Until 21 May, the Sun at your Midheaven, the 10th house, makes a month when career and reputation are in plain view.
Mercury crosses into Taurus on 24 April and so into your 10th house. Until 9 May, with Mercury at your Midheaven, the tradition reads a spell for career plans, professional writing and speaking up at work.
Love, work and money for Leo in April
Venus begins April in Pisces, your 8th house, and enters Aries, your 9th, on 20 April, turning affection toward love across distance or difference, and the shared beliefs that hold a couple together.
Mars stays in Leo all month, your 1st house, putting the month’s effort into your personal initiative and the reputation you carry into any room.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Virgo) or your 8th (Pisces) in April, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Leo’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
Questions to carry through April
- Who taught me what I know, and what am I teaching?
- What would make the place I live feel like mine?
- What first impression do I want to leave, and is it an honest one?
