Hello, sweethearts, and welcome to your weekly love horoscope for April 21st – 27th. This is the week when the Sun enters Taurus, and it makes two important aspects as it enters: squaring up to Pluto and also squaring Mars in Leo.
Now, this is a decidedly different energy, so you’ll definitely be feeling a crunching gear shift this week after the more confusing, romantic, escapist, and somewhat charitable energy that was bestowed with Venus being conjunct Neptune and Mercury being conjunct Neptune as well in Aries.
What we’re experiencing now is something more intense, more dramatic, and also more stubborn. What it means is it’s a very important time to be determined, to apply yourself to difficult tasks, and also to be more aware of vested interests and agendas in relationships.
This is definitely a time when people play games and when it is harder to achieve results in the short term in relationships, simply because there can be a little bit of a stalemate.
Here’s Your Weekly Love Horoscope for April 21st – 27th:

Aries: Heat of the Moment
Now, for Aries, Mars in Leo represents a very competitive energy for you. It also is a time of great passion and involvement, and you are more likely to pursue new relationships ardently and can be very disappointed if a partner is lukewarm or doesn’t give you powerful responses.
What’s so important in new and existing relationships is loyalty, and in many cases, you will put a partner through the paces. Your energy is quite demanding right now, and so you should be aware of when you perhaps need to just take a few steps back and reassess, because sometimes a partner can find you a little bit intimidating.
This is also a time of boundary issues in relationships, so it’s very important that you both manage your expectations and respect each other’s boundaries, because it is easy to lose perspective right now, simply because in the heat of the moment things seem awfully important, and yet maybe, as tempers settle, you realize it wasn’t quite what it seemed at first.
Taurus: You have the power
Now, for Taurus, the Sun is entering Taurus, which is a time when you should assert yourself, be more dynamic in your approach to life, and assume leadership. But because Mars is squaring up to the Sun from Leo, there can be some ruffled tempers and also issues within your home environment making it a little bit difficult for you to get what you need.
Sometimes, you need to put out a few fires, calm nerves, and take control of the situation through a positive yet purposeful response. However, what you really need to understand right now is: you have the power, you have the control.
Don’t let anyone dictate to you. Even when there are difficult situations, never underestimate your ability to cope with them and to keep the ball rolling. When it comes to new and existing relationships, just try and keep things on the move.
It can be really tempting right now to dig a hole and to just keep digging, simply because you want to prove a point or get to the bottom of something, but sometimes, it’s more important to just let it go, keep moving forward, and then see what happens next.
Gemini: Banging your head
Now, Mars in Leo is opposite Pluto in Aquarius and this means this is a time of very strong opinions in relationships. It is vital to be diplomatic and to keep the channels of communication open.
This is a time when you, as a Gemini, can be a little bit more stubborn and pig-headed than normal, as you are by nature flexible. Things really matter to you, and when you have a certain point of view or a bone to pick, you don’t want to let it go.
It may also be the case that there are serious questions when it comes to priorities and expectations, particularly in new relationships, and these just have to be worked through. However you and a partner need to have a strong idea of what you’re trying to achieve.
In new and existing relationships, there’s a temptation right now to keep banging your head against a brick wall because you feel like you’re achieving something—but are you really? So it’s important to understand what the real problems are and what the real solutions are, and to apply yourself to those rather than just having a battle of egos, wills, or wits with a partner.
Cancer: Pay attention
Now, Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, which is of course being triggered by the Sun entering Taurus, means that this is a time when you and a partner should think more about financial affairs.
Now, for Cancer, you’re a very security-orientated sign, you like to save for a rainy day, and you like to have control over, particularly, money and emotional matters. Your more controlling side comes to the fore—and that’s not a bad thing if it helps you get your house in order or establish some ground rules with a new partner.
Right now, boundaries and red lines are so important in all relationships. It may be that you are establishing red lines in a new relationship for the first time, or it could be that it’s an existing relationship where you’ve both kind of crossed a few red lines and you need to make amends, and perhaps reassess where those lines should be as the relationship evolves.
This is a time when a relationship is certainly moving in a new direction, and you have a lot of power to create the ideal circumstances for the relationship to move in a positive rather than a negative situation—if you pay attention.
Leo: Beware the shadow
This is a very ambitious time for Leo. You won’t want to let things get in your way—when you set your mind to something, you can move mountains. However, there are often formidable forces at play, so what you don’t want to do now is underestimate your opponent. Or, by the same token, you don’t want to underestimate a partner as they could well surprise or thwart you.
It’s very important that you and a partner work together and both play to your strengths. Don’t try to dominate areas of the relationship where your partner is naturally better or more assertive than you.
The key to success now in love is understanding your limitations and knowing when you need to reach out for help, or when you need to let someone else step in and take over the reins or give good advice.
This is also a time when you need to watch out for being bullied by anyone. If someone is consistently putting you in the shadow or undermining you, it’s time for you to put that person out of your life or draw some strong boundaries with them.
Virgo: Higher nature
Now, this is a time—with Sun in Taurus stimulating Mars in Leo—that your subconscious energies are taking hold of you. It’s so important to keep track of the influence of any anxious or superstitious tendencies you have. This is a time when there is a lot going on in your inner world. This can be reflected through more vibrant or even turbulent dreams.
It may be that you’re feeling very reckless and adventurous, or desiring to do something totally out of character to gain a sense of freedom. This is a time when it’s important to push back against your innate fears and boundaries—but you should do it in a measured way, otherwise, you can actually increase your anxiety.
It’s also important now to acknowledge any aspects of the relationship which are making you frustrated, because you need to be able to let go of those or find a constructive way of working through that frustration.
Because, as you know, a partner may not be cooperating right now and you need to negotiate and break down their boundaries by appealing to their higher nature not always their logic.
Libra: Crime and punishment
Now, for Libra, this is a time of competitiveness and heightened levels of ego in all relationships. It can also be a time when love is deep and strong, and the passions are stirred, but since you are very red-blooded right now—you can be quick to anger, quick to lose your temper, or you can make snap judgments in love.
Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius can make your behavior sometimes a little bit extreme. It’s important that you and a partner are doing vigorous and creative activities together so all this excess energy doesn’t spill over into needless arguments.
It’s also important for you to maintain some moderation, because what can be lost now in love is a sense of proportionality. So make sure that whatever you do is in response to some real threat. Remember: let the punishment fit the crime. Be responsive, not emotionally reactive.
Scorpio: Never give up on a good thing
This week, with Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius square the Sun entering Taurus, relationships are an important area—one that you can work at—but it’s also important to understand that there are often hurdles to communication and understanding right now. Both you and a partner tend to go with your gut feel, and you don’t often behave rationally, and that can lead to some problems getting out of proportion.
So it’s important right now to take a small bite out of problems and decide together how to work on them without passing judgment. Now, one of the easiest things to do right now in relationships is play the blame game, and that can be detrimental to both new and emerging relationships.
So remember: cut each other some slack, try to work together as a team, and understand how much you both mean to each other—and respect the fragile beauty of the relationship. Don’t ruin a good thing because of a temporary outburst or a moment of ego.
Sagittarius: Energize and revitalize your thinking
This is a very exciting, high-energy week for Sagittarius. With Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, you want to go on the attack. You are particularly adventurous, and you’re drawn to high-adrenaline activities.
However, you can also become very bored—and that means you can quickly become frustrated in situations that require a lot of concentration or patience or with a partner who’s very evasive or passive.
So it’s ideal right now for you to be engaging in sports, improving your health and fitness through brand-new routines, but also employing this energy to manifest. Don’t underestimate the mental energy you have right now and how that can be used to find solutions to problems or to do creative visualization.
This is an incredibly creative and productive phase for you, and it’s very important for you to create an exciting vision for your relationships and to inspire your partner, because you can be a motivating force.
So one thing to definitely concentrate on right now is health and fitness routines and exercise—and a great way to improve relationships is to get out into the outdoors. This is also an ideal time for starting a new relationship with a colleague.
Capricorn: Animal Instinct
With Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, passions are running high. Now, Capricorns—as an earth sign—have a strong need for physical satisfaction in relationships, so this is an ideal time to work on the sexual and affectionate side of relationships.
Date nights should include doing things that involve you getting physically active, like dancing, going for a massage together, having hot tubs, or experiencing rewarding sensual experiences that help you to feel confident and get in touch with your body.
It may be a good week to go and have a spray tan or start doing some exercising so you feel more physically in shape, because that can also help the sexual side of relationships.
In new relationships, it’s all about chemistry—you have to feel it. So if there’s nothing really happening on a deep chemical level, then maybe this relationship is just not really working, and perhaps you need to reassess.
Focus on what your instincts are telling you in love, because they won’t lead you astray.
Aquarius: Move Mountains
With Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus, this is quite a combative time where you will find yourself rubbing up against other people. It’s more likely right now that a partner can annoy you or go out of their way to argue with you—but at the same time, you can take arguments too far.
So right now, it’s very important to know when to count to ten and find more constructive outlets for this kind of passionate and aggressive energy. This is an ideal time for you and a partner to tackle joint threats—so rather than fighting each other, turn your attention to a project or an issue and work hard to break that issue down.
This is actually an excellent time in family life for house hunting, redecorating, or doing an enormous clear-out. What the message is for you in partnerships is: get things out of your way.
So if there’s anything that’s an impediment to your relationship being better, work now to move that thing aside or to draw some boundaries with people who may be causing trouble in your relationship.
Pisces: Meditate Pontificate
Now, this week is quite an uncertain time for Pisces. There are more questions than answers. Mars in your natal sixth, opposite Pluto in your twelfth, indicates that you may be avoiding certain things. It could be that you need a little bit of breathing room and thinking space to decide what you really think.
So the key right now is finding room to either meditate, pontificate, or get away from it all so that you can get a better handle on problems and what move you want to make next. It’s very important not to have a knee-jerk reaction. Don’t feel pressured into making a decision right now. The key is to buy yourself time.
Don’t allow a partner to put you on the spot or force you to make decisions or give answers, because what you really need now is more information—not to be forced into a corner. So, a little bit of evasiveness serves you well right now. Use some of your Piscean ability to obfuscate, and let a partner know that you need a little bit of leeway and breathing room.
Summary
With Mars in Leo—in which it is particularly powerful and passionate—opposite Pluto and square the sometimes obstinate Sun in Taurus, this is a time when people nail their colors to the mast. It should be a time when you take decisive steps to make improvements in your life and when you face fears and obstacles head-on.
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide right now—so face your fears, face your enemies, and face your relationship realities. Come up with strategies and work towards the future with a positive and substantive attitude.
