Well, folks, we’ve made it out of the hell mouth of March and into the slightly less infernal landscape of April.
Come mid-month, Venus, our planet of wealth and worth, will finally station direct after a weeks-long retrograde, setting the stage for capital gains and glow-ups of the physical and financial variety, just in time for tax season.
What zodiac signs are primed for a payday?

Mars in your sign this winter/spring has been something of a buzz, boon, and boner kill, Cancer, but when the planet of action and accumulation moves into Leo on April 18th, it lights up your second house of wealth and worth, signaling a major financial shift.
Ashley Boyd, an astrologer at Gamblizard expounds, “That simmering motivation you’ve felt? It turns into action – and action into income. You’re being encouraged to stop waiting for conditions to be perfect. This April, doing something matters more than doing it flawlessly. If you’ve had a financial goal or project on the back burner, now’s the time to move it front and center.”
Boyd urges the crab contingent to choose courage over comfort this month.
“Apply for the role, launch the product, and start the course. Even small, confident steps can create a domino effect. And whatever you do, don’t sleep on the last week of April. It’s hot with potential.”
Aquarius folk have been dealt a rough hand this year with Mercury and Venus retrograding in their second house of cash and confidence, but by mid-month, the momentum of both planets will bring both gains and returns.
“Ideas you shelved? They’re back and viable. People who ghosted? Now they’re replying. Mid-April is your green light. Follow up on leads, pitch the project, or finally have the money talk you’ve been avoiding for so long. You don’t need perfection – you just need motion. Take it and run,” said Boyd.
Mercury and Venus retrograde in your sign last month likely triggered some heady second-guessing and a generous slice of self-doubt, Pisces. Yet, as the planet of the mind and the planet of the tangible go direct, clarity comes through.
“Trust what your gut is telling you. Say yes to the freelance gig, renegotiate your rate, or start putting your art out there. You’ve got a rare chance to align your values and your bank account. And if you’re still hesitating? Make a list of everything you’ve achieved in the last six months. You’ll see – you’ve earned this,” said Boyd.
