"We’re back with your spring horoscopes, and boy, is there a lot to talk about this season. For starters, we’re entering eclipse season with a lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25. While you should be prepared for big shake-ups, not all changes happen on the exact day of an eclipse. You’ll be seeing the effects of the eclipse for weeks, or even months, after. And lovely Mercury retrograde is back, too, beginning on April 1 (happy April Fools’ Day, I guess?). Back up your devices, delete your ex’s number, and double- and triple-check travel plans.
Find out what all that means in your spring 2024 horoscope below.

Aries
While March is more about your inner feelings, the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25 will highlight the area of your chart that has to do with relationships. Take the opportunity to assess where you stand with your partner or with someone you’ve been seeing. With Aries season in full swing, you’ll be feeling ready to party in April. You’re always the life of any gathering, but you’ll be especially popular this month. While you have the spotlight, consider applying for a job you’ve been eyeing or try approaching your gym crush. The solar eclipse in your sign could bring up some personal changes, too, whether it’s chopping your hair off or starting a new hobby. Be careful with your wallet during Taurus season, as you might be feeling more impulsive with your cash. Around the full moon in Taurus, you could get an opportunity to make some extra money, so be on the lookout. May is also a great time to turn a passion into a side hustle or to start planning your own business ventures.
Taurus
During Aries season, you’ll revert to your homebody ways after a busy social calendar during Pisces season. And there’s no better time for it since Mercury retrograde starts on April 1, causing all the zodiac signs to slow down a bit. As a Taurus, you need no excuse to pamper yourself, but this is a perfect time to book a mani-pedi or spa day. Later in Taurus season, the new moon in your sign could have you wanting to try something new. Check out a hobby that you’ve always been interested in, or join some kind of club. You might also want to test a new hairstyle or revamp your wardrobe, but be sure you stick to a budget since that can be challenging for a luxury-loving Taurus.
Gemini
As March comes to a close, you’ll start feeling the impact of Mercury retrograde, which means anything you’ve been working on recently, like waiting to hear back about signing a lease or projects at work, could take some time to be fully finalized. Mercury is your planetary ruler, which means you’ll be most affected by its retrograde, making it a sluggish start to April. Aside from that, though, Aries season will be filled with friends and socializing. Around the solar eclipse, you could meet some new friends or decide to join a club. It’s also a good time to sign up to volunteer if you’ve been thinking about it. Taurus season will give you the chance for much-needed rest and relaxation after all the activity of Aries season. As a Gemini, you’re always thinking and moving, but try something like meditation or yoga to clear your mind. With your season starting at the end of May, you’ll be back to your usual busy lifestyle soon.
Cancer
With the lunar eclipse in Libra at the end of March, you could be considering moving or redecorating your house. Keep your eye on Facebook Marketplace in case a fabulous couch or bookcase becomes available. Aries season and the solar eclipse in Aries will bring your career to the forefront in April. If you’ve been feeling unsure about your current role or career path, you could get some clarity about it. A new job could pop up around this time, or you might be trusted with new responsibilities, but be patient because Mercury retrograde could cause delays. Following the Taurus new moon, you might make a new friend, or you could be getting to know an acquaintance better. Instead of doing your usual homebody thing, push yourself to accept more invitations or reach out to friends you haven’t seen in a while during Taurus season.
Leo
You’re ready to strike out on the road during Aries season. If you’re traveling right now, be sure to make a list and check it twice since Mercury retrograde could throw your plans out of whack. With the solar eclipse at the beginning of April, you might be thinking about going back to school or taking an online course, or you may discover a book that you can’t put down. As a Leo, when you commit to something, you really commit, so turn that energy toward your career during Taurus season. Start job hunting if you want a new role because the new moon in Taurus will open up new opportunities. Even if you don’t want to leave your current company, you might have the chance to change teams or shift your focus toward different projects.
Virgo
Around the lunar eclipse in Libra, you might be thinking about learning skills to help you earn additional money outside of your day job, or you could decide to launch your own business or try freelancing. The start of April will feel a little slow for you as your ruler, Mercury, goes retrograde on April 1. With Mercury retrograde, you could be feeling uncertain about your finances, so use this time to review your spending habits or plan out a budget. The solar eclipse could bring a raise at work or an opportunity to make more money, whether it’s from investing or changing jobs. During Taurus season, your focus will shift to learning and travel. Virgos are always up for learning something new, but you might feel the urge to take it to the next level by enrolling in classes or joining a book club. With Mercury retrograde ending on April 25, you’re in the clear when it comes to travel, too, so start planning your next vacation.
Libra
The biggest event for you in March is the lunar eclipse in Libra. Since it’s taking place in your sign, you’ll be the most affected by it. You could be reconsidering what you want your life to be like in the future, or you might want to completely change your personal style. Be sure to think things through, and don’t try to change everything all at once so you don’t get too overwhelmed. While you were focused on yourself in March, April will be more about your relationships. The solar eclipse at the beginning of the month could bring a new beginning with someone you’re dating, whether it’s making it official, moving in together, or getting engaged. You might also want to prioritize your friends during this time. And then Taurus season will be all about finances for you. Take some time to review your tax returns or to research investments you could make. You might also be thinking about how you can save more money or trying to outline a budget for yourself.
Scorpio
From running errands to administrative work, you’ll be dealing with basic daily tasks during Aries season. This energy is great for catching up on laundry and house cleaning or even preparing taxes since that time is (unfortunately) coming up. It’s also a good time to get back into your workout routine or start a new one, though Mercury retrograde might have you feeling unmotivated. May will give you the chance to spend plenty of quality time with your partner or good friends. The new moon in Taurus is a great time to talk to your significant other or the person you’re seeing about the next steps in your relationship. You could be thinking about starting a business partnership, too.
Sagittarius
During Aries season, you’ll be back to your fun-loving Sagittarius ways after spending time at home and with family throughout Pisces season. Throw a party to celebrate the start of spring, and get back into your favorite hobbies. April is also a great month to prioritize dating, whether you’re single or in a relationship. You might have a lot more dates planned than usual, or you and your partner could be spending more time together. Taurus season isn’t quite as carefree as Aries season for you. May will be more about returning to your usual routine and catching up on chores you’ve been avoiding. You could feel motivated to work out more or start healthy eating habits, as well. Grab a friend and try a fun new workout class.
Capricorn
Around the Libra lunar eclipse, you might be experiencing changes at your job. You could realize that you’re unhappy in your current position, or you may be moving to a new team within your company. This is the perfect time to start job hunting if you’ve been thinking about leaving your role. Home and family will be your main priority during Aries season. Around the solar eclipse, start searching for a new place, as you could stumble upon your dream house. If you’re not moving any time soon, you might be looking for new decor, or you could be making plans for bigger renovations, too. You’re always working on something, Capricorn, but let loose a little during Taurus season. A creative hobby is a great way to help you blow off steam, so look into taking a writing class or buying an adult coloring book. With the new moon, you could meet someone you’re interested in dating or make things official with someone you’ve been dating, as well.
Aquarius
The lunar eclipse in Libra will inspire you to learn something new or book an international or cross-country trip—or both. Stop by your local bookstore to find an interesting book, or start a group chat with your usual travel buddies to plan your next adventure. As an air sign, communicating comes easily to you, which is a good thing because Aries season will have plenty of chances for it. You could be working on a report for school or work, or you may be asked to present to your team or clients. Since Mercury, the planet that rules communication, is retrograde, you might not feel as confident with your words as you typically do, though. Just try to be extra clear with people and double-check your work. During Taurus season, you’ll want to spend more time at home. Aquarians like you tend to be very independent, but be sure you don’t get too comfortable being on your own; it’s good to get out and socialize every now and then.
Pisces
The Aries solar eclipse at the start of April could bring new opportunities for you to earn money. You might start making money from your own company or freelancing gigs, or you could get a raise at work. Since Pisces aren’t known for being super pragmatic, being careful with money probably doesn’t come naturally to you, but try to keep up with your budget so you have more money to save or invest. With Mercury retrograde over, you’ll likely feel much clearer when communicating with people in your life. If you’ve felt stagnant with writing or researching work lately, give it another try now that Mercury is direct again. Taurus season is the perfect time to book some fun weekends or day trips to get out of your usual routine, as well.
