Welcome to your wellness horoscopes for April 2022!
Hello! I am djennebadrammeha consulting astrologer and weekly horoscope writerwho is currently working on an astro-literary book.
For me, astrology is a cosmic language that gives us new tools to better understand what is happening here on Earth. It can be predictive, psychological, or both, but it comes down to how you choose to use it. However, while astrology can be used as an art or predictive practice, it cannot (and should not) replace professional medical or mental health advice.
When it comes to wellness, though, a good look at what’s going on in the sky relative to a natal chart can tell us what issues are most urgent to uncover once we find our way onto a therapist’s couch.
Intentional astrology should be able to generate the right questions to get us where we need to go on our journey of healing and discovery.

The following wellness horoscopes for April 2022 were written with the house 12 in mind, an area of the natal chart that speaks of “what lies below”. This house refers to all the things that remain when we take a moment to look carefully beyond the veneer. The 12th house in any natal chart has really important implications for how we relate to our mental health.

By looking at the current planets “transiting” through that area or sign of a chart, as well as what the planetary ruler of that house is doing (i.e., Mercury rules Gemini, so what is Mercury doing?), we can get a lot of information and begin to develop a course of action tailored to our needs.
If Mercury is involved, this might look like typing! If Venus is relevant, perhaps her mental health journey should make room for art appreciation. Whoever your big players are this month, I have some tips ready for you.
To get the most out of these wellness horoscopes for April 2022, read your Rising sign first if you know it, followed by your Sun sign if you were born during the day, or Moon sign if you were born at night.

There is this beautiful tension that you have been dealing with where you’re looking forward to curling up in your own home for a minute but also wanting to fly away somewhere so you can take a deep breath and relax. Maybe you can do both!
April comes up with a way that her wish for peace and undisturbed escape can come to pass. However, if she can’t physically travel right now, consider “getting away” with a good bookeither read or write one!

Your health and mental well-being are highlighted this month, with the sun exalted in Aries, your 12th house of the subconscious. IIt is as if someone burst into the rooms of your brain with a flashlight, illuminating all the dark corners and cobwebs.
Things can get awkward, irritating, and even feel a little too bright, but use this as an opportunity to work on things you didn’t know were getting your attention.

This month gives space for your inner processes to surface in an empowering way. While you may feel a bit exposed at first, ultimately, you are fully equipped to use this to your advantage while managing to inspire others.
A great option is to use that gift of speech that you have to use and externalize what is going on inside your mind to solve it. perhaps by writing on a blog or through some other public way.
Sharing your thoughts out loud will feel like a weight lifting from your shoulders.. You never know, it may also come with a round of applause.

Your inner wheels never stop turning for you, Cancer, and this month is no different. A massive career update is just around the cornerwith April setting the stage for how it will manifest.
The antics of Mercury in Aries during the first part of the month give you the opportunity to put your heart on your sleeve. How will you support yourself through this impending change? Journaling and writing processes in general are a great place to start, but it pays to be creative about how to stay grounded during this time.
Leo (July 23 to August 22)

This is a time to interact out of care and not out of obligation. Doesn’t it feel so good?

Allow yourself the freedom to have a breakthrough this month and to share it out loud with someone you trustbe it with a close friend, partner or therapist.
This April, epiphanies related to individuality and newly revealed secrets shine bright, but such vulnerability requires safe processing. Who do you trust to trust? Think about it. Support comes easily to those who are brave enough to ask for it. You deserve it.

The enemies of progress are revealed this month! Any prickly thing you’ve dismissed as non-threatening may present itself more obviously this April.
Mow the grass of your discontent, and identify snakes in the grass! This may end up looking like a confrontation with yourself, your habits and your stressors. You have to know them before you can board them.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 21)

Have you already found your creative project? Put whatever “it” is into your art. You don’t have to transmute anything, you don’t need to find the meaning yet. All you need is permission to translate your depths into something readable for yourself.
A very happy Venus (the planet of art) in your 5th House of Pleasure provides an opportunity to find a language for the unintelligible, so this is a good time to expose yourself to more creative ways and take a close look at what moves you and gives voice to whispers.
Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)

You may have some friction this month with close friends or siblings and struggle to feel seen through the tumult. There is a lot of emphasis on quiet time for you this year. You may already know the exercise!
Continue to allow yourself the space to cool off on your own terms and make your personal space a respite worth retiring to.

Write love letters to your friends with ink, postage and love or plant and play in a garden. Your general well-being will thrive this month if you support yourself in all the delightful activities that your third house of communication, close friends, and local terrain have to offer.
It’s okay, even preferable, to be extra and fantastic here. Who more than a Capricorn deserves a treat for once?

With Saturn and Mars dancing together in your first house of self and body, the beginning of the month could come as a literal headache. For you, Aquarius, this convergence of your 12th and 1st houses underlines the connection between mind and body.
Taking care of your body and paying attention to how it responds to stress and external pressure will keep your well-being in check. Be kind to the way you treat yourself.
Allow yourself to be seen, recognized, and appreciated in professional endeavors, without assuming so much that you lack the ability to show yourself the way you want to.
