Exes are making a U-turn as the Mercury Retrograde brings chaos. So, you better protect yourself. Here’s your horoscope for April 8-14.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

I hope you are not working and behaving like a corporate slave when you are in your main character month. Birthdays come once a year and that boss of yours is disappointed with you 365 days a year. So, let them sulk a little longer and focus on having some birthday fun. You don’t have to live on other people’s terms, you were never meant to do that.

AAE Pro Tip: Focus on having some adult fun. Waking up with a killer hangover isn’t a good look on anyone.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Looks like someone has made some new friends! I’m proud of your social life situation and happy to see that it is not crumbling to pieces. Now, consistency is the key and I know one week out of the house makes you want to go back in hibernation. But this year, you need to make promises to yourself that will help you break free of your limitations. So, make small but impactful changes and see how they work their magic.

AAE Pro Tip: Work-life balance might make its debut in your life this week, hold on to it.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

The horoscope for April 8-14 asks you to remind yourself who you are at your core. There could be multiple versions that might have come along the way. But, are you currently sticking to the one that made you feel like your best self? Because if you’re not, use this as a sign to let go of the pretence and allow yourself to exist unapologetically. You know what’s best for you, Gem, keep doing more of it.

AAE Pro Tip: Chilled beer might not solve your problems, but at least it won’t create any new ones.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

How’s this new phase of change feeling, Cancer? Your mind might be stuck on something or someone and that could be leading to some excessive overthinking. Take a break and let go. I know it’s easier said than done, but making yourself miserable for something you can’t change isn’t a wise choice. So, channel the ‘I can’t be messed with’ power of yours and work towards shaping your future self.

AAE Pro Tip: Depending on people won’t lead you anywhere, do it yourself and don’t have any expectations. 

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Life is picking up pace, Leo, and you gotta keep up. You have to follow through if you’ve made certain promises or committed to things or people. And it won’t be a cakewalk always, sometimes it will feel too intimidating or overwhelming. But those are the moments where you must remind yourself why you started in the first place. Journeys might not smoothen out, but you just need to buck up and never let anything stop you from going after what you want.

AAE Pro Tip: Keep things lowkey and focus on improving every day without telling ten people about it.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

The horoscope for April 8-14 asks you to let people be in their own space and do their own thing. And even though you are great with your morally correct and ethical advice, this is not the week to show off your skills. This week, in fact, is all about bringing the focus to yourself and giving yourself a well-deserved pampering session. So, get the hot water running because you need a good pedicure and foot massage. Have fun minding your own business.

AAE Pro Tip: Add a nice book to your schedule and cut down on some screen time. 

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

You’ve got yourself a very busy week ahead, Libra, all thanks for the fiery Aries season. It is pushing you to go beyond your usual boundaries and explore what more you can achieve. But remember, only push yourself to the point where you can handle it. Overdoing is a natural trait for you but a really harmful one too. So, keep the Dora The Explorer locked inside and grab some rest.

AAE Pro Tip: Focus at home and don’t miss out on the small moments that keep you sane. 

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Earth to Scorpio! Everyone hates making it back to work on a Monday after a good weekend. But it seems like your Monday blues might not show up this week. Your finances will see a sudden increase as money comes in from the most random avenues. Your boss will not suck the life out of you, for a change. A love interest might hit the right track and decide to hike on the trail for you. See, so much to look forward to, stop sulking.

AAE Pro Tip: Pay attention to your health and avoid people who stress you out, IYKYK.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

I see a drama mama making a grand entrance in your life this week, but you still have time to shut your doors tightly and not entertain any nonsense. The choice is clearly yours, but if you want to join the pity party, be my guest. People love playing the victim when they have nothing better to do, but you of all people know better. So, either sit through their crying sessions or shut them up for good and let them know that you know what their real deal is.

AAE Pro Tip: Stock up some magic potion in your bar to keep you going. 

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

My dearest Capricorn, your bank account needs a break from your expensive attitude ’cause it clearly can’t keep up. So, the horoscope for April 8-14 asks you to try staying a little lowkey for a while and let it stack up. And by a while, I don’t mean a week. I mean any period of time that is longer than 30 days. And speaking of fixing your life, you need to catch your breath at work and binge some Netflix for fun.

AAE Pro Tip: Working out might be a b**ch but you gotta make exercise your bestie for your own good. 

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

To do or not to do is a dilemma that has been eating you up from the inside. Well, I say you do and take the calculated risk of ruining your life. Imagine if it actually works out, you’ll be golden. But even if it doesn’t, what’s the worst that could happen? You’ll have to start from scratch? And is that not something you’ve done a million times already? Don’t let small things scare you from taking big risks ’cause you know you’ll live through it either way.

AAE Pro Tip: Wear that hot pink shirt if you like. Don’t worry about sad people with dull opinions.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Dear Pisces, you know being bitchy has never really been a trait worth appreciating, right? Well, then drop the mean girls’ act and get straight to the point. If someone is pissing you off, it is better to walk up to them and confront them. Because it is better to act maturely rather than act like you’re in kindergarten and making a fuss about things. So, lighten up the mood and do what needs to be done to clear your headspace.

AAE Pro Tip: Check in with your bestie for some moral support and ranting about yucky people.

Have a lovely week ahead!
