Tarotscopes | April 2026
Tarotscopes for the month of April are brought to us by our talented house reader, Andrea Carla.
The card for the collective this month is the Hanged Man. This card is primarily associated with the element of water. PD Ouspensky says of the Hanged Man, “In his own soul appears the gallows in which he hangs in suffering feeling that he is indeed inverted. He chose this way himself. For this he went over a long road from trial to trial, from initiation to initiation through failures and falls and now he has found truth and knows himself”. The Hanged Man is not just about stillness or suspension- but the illumination that comes from allowing to see from a different perspective when there is no where else to go. If you have felt stagnant what insight or wisdom have you gained? The Hanged Man is the chrysalis and not a dead end. This insight will be the medicine needed to help navigate this next month.
We begin April and the zodiacal new year in the fiery sign of Aries. The motto of Aries is “I am”. Aries is the initiate- the strike of the match. The ignition of the fire that is fueling us towards the precipice of a new chapter. This is shown to us by spring in the Northern hemisphere, winter has met it’s end and new life is subtly emerging beneath the surface. The true beginning of a new year.
April is nothing short of power packed activity from the celestial sphere as we begin the month progressing out of Mercury retrograde as well as Jupiter the bringer of good fortune fully stationing direct as well. Expect these areas of the life that these planets have dominion to begin to move forward with progress and clearer direction.
Saturn the Greater Malefic enters into April marking a Sun and Saturn synodic cycle that will be conjunct Neptune, adding a sobering quality to our illusions and dreams to what is fully possible and what we will do on our part to ground them into something with sustenance. Saturn is fallen in the sign of Aries- where Aries wants to go fast Saturn imbues a restrictiveness and heaviness. The best way to navigate this month would be to have realistic expectations of our goals and allowing Saturn to show us where reality meets illusion. What is the dream that you are willing to make happen for the long haul? Create a blueprint and act accordingly. The butterfly emerges from the chrysalis when the time is right.
