The first week of April is perfect for planning. Set up your schedule in advance for whatever it is you need to do. You'll start to see things coming together during the second week of the month, but don't get too excited just yet. The energy shifts from receptivity after the 11th, so expect a little bit of disruption. You may have to wait for what you want, so be patient with this part of the month.
You're working with Yin energy from April 13th to the 19th. See what needs repair and be open to change. Your receptiveness helps things to move forward. You want to trust the process, even though having faith in the unseen feels scary right now. From April 20th to the 26th, you start to see real outcomes. If you mastered patience and letting go, you're working from a wiser, more stable place in your life. It's important to release what's disrupting your peace now and focus on what you see working well. The success and rewards you hoped to achieve are ready to reveal themselves.
The last week of April is the time to close out any loose ends that you are done with. Journal memories and reflect. Take some time to also plan for May, when we transition from Rabbit to Dragon energy.
Rat

Rat, you have a sharp mind and laser thinking this month when it comes to changing your life for the better. Use the Yin energy that starts after April 11th to your advantage. If you have a habit you want to break and replace with a new, positive one. You'll see signs of promise around April 20th.
Wear slate blue to invoke self-trust, and aim for harmony in your relationships. Your lucky number is 4, so you have to balance your time with results. Adjust your strategy by organizing your space. Clear out your desk or workspace and drawers. Donate clothes you no longer wear.
Ox
Design: YourTango
In April, your main objective is to build something you believe in and that withstands the test of time. Your best days for planning and achieving success come after the month has changed from Tiger to Rabbit, so plan major events for around April 12th and April 21st. Your goal is to be the stable person people can depend on. It's your stable nature that is admired most.
Your lucky number, 6, symbolically represents the nurturing side of your energy. You will want to be careful on April 6th and April 18th, though, to avoid being taken for granted. Wearing browns is good because they symbolize groundedness. Your ally this month is a Snake for their determination. Place a rock or another heavy object in the southwest part of your home or desk to avoid distraction. Order can help you to be consistent.
Tiger
Design: YourTango
Love is a theme for you throughout April. Two days to go out on a date with someone special, including April 10th and April 22nd. Plan to make memories that last. You want to align your activities and interests with like-minded people. If there's a Horse in your life, get in touch to reconnect and talk about life or things you are curious about.
Your luckiest number this month is 1, for leadership, and if you are hoping to attract more money in your life, wear forest green. You don't want to be caught up in the quick pace of life. Instead, aim for consistent effort. You want to take action after thinking things through. Impulsivity is part of your nature, but try to resist it.
Rabbit
Design: YourTango
Rabbit, life might feel challenging in April, so you'll want to make sure you are being true to yourself. Choose things that align with your interests and truths. Being where you feel useful helps, but not if it is based on uncomfortable compromises. When you have to make a purchase, aim for stability and not flashy things that only tantalize your senses in the moment. Opportunities will come to you through quiet moments, so don't push yourself to do what feels foreign. It's OK to step beyond your comfort zone, as long as it aligns with who you are and want to be.
Your best days are during transitional points: 11th, when the energy shifts from Yang to Yin, and then again on 24th, a day to start a new project. Keep fresh greenery around your living spaces to remind you that fresh starts always happen in April. You want to accept support from friends and be open to love. Wearing a pretty green color throughout the month can help you to remember to build your life through nurture and care. Your best partner for accomplishing your dreams and maybe even enjoying some romance this month is a Pig.
Dragon
Design: YourTango
April's softer energy works nicely for your needs, Dragon, and it's a good month to take a break and focus on your home life. Your best days arrive on the 12th and the 24th, which are great days to rework your financial goals. You want to find new ways to deepen your world with meaning, and that can include doing a lot behind the scenes without fanfare.
Wear gold to remind you of your strength. Your lucky number is 8, which predicts growth after failure. So, wherever you felt like you could improve, you will, if you focus on it. Your best match is a Monkey, for their quick wit. Use this week to re-evaluate what matters most to you.
Snake
Design: YourTango
Take your time figuring things out in April, Snake. You don't want to be reactive or fall under pressure from others. April 13th and 17th may be a bit intense due to some issues outside of your control, but you'll observe the beauty of loyalty from an Ox animal sign, who proves to be a good friend and powerful ally.
Working in pairs helps you sort through your emotions all month, so pay attention to situations, numbers, or events involving 2, your lucky number this month. Work on money-saving activities and habits. Aim to be more focused, since certain activities you do can lead you to spend more money.
Packing a lunch may refresh your spirit and give you a sense of inner peace because you're acting with intention and wholeness. Wearing ivory can refresh your mind. Place a white stone or crystal in a spot where you've organized your personal space.
Horse
Design: YourTango
As much as you love people and adventure, you want to avoid committing to every opportunity that comes your way. On caution days, specifically the 6th and the 18th, taking initiative doesn't mean you have to do a lot of work or always be involved in what others are doing. Instead, be confident about the things you want to do or need to finish. Let your boldness and drive create noise that helps you to gain attention for the right reasons. Your best days for getting what you need from life are the 14th and the 26th.
You are functioning as a leader, so trust yourself. Your lucky number is 1, so embrace solidarity. Do things in single sweeps. When working, if you have the option, try to be one-and-done so you can finish projects, conversations, or plans quickly. The best thing you can do mid-month is spend time around motivated people who encourage you to get things done. You want to add something red to the southern part of your home or office to evoke fire energy.
Goat
Design: YourTango
This is the week when you prove yourself to be a powerful force in the universe. Goat, this is the month where you get a lot done. On the 15th and the 28th, your feelings guide you in the right direction when you feel confused. After the 7th, foster habits that are small and easy for you to manage and integrate into your daily life.
Remember, a transition is slightly chaotic. You aren't looking for change for change's sake, but something that feels supportive and more doable. Observe how friends or famous Rabbits like Albert Einstein managed their problems. Your power number for the month is 2, and your best color to wear is cream.
Monkey
Design: YourTango
Timing is everything during the month. Your playful nature is what helps you to meet new people and grow your social network in April. You might meet a Rat animal sign that teaches you how to reach a particular goal or to manage an area of your life better.
The color silver in jewelry, specifically, provides you with a subtle sense of strength. You want to be powerful while keeping certain aspects of your life in the background. Less is more this month. When you see the number 11, you know a lucky event is on the way. Your best days for the month are the 4th and the 16th.
Rooster
Design: YourTango
Start the month on a powerful note by decluttering your workspace. You want to get organized and minimize confusion at work. Knowing where things are and discarding what you don't need helps you find what you need quickly. Two great days for cleaning up and donating used items are on the 5th and the 17th.
Around the 12th or the 24th, practice listening with intention. A timely and honest conversation is likely to happen during these two weeks. You may be called out for ignoring a small problem that needs to be addressed. Taking ownership will help create more closeness in relationships. Demonstrating accountability in April helps you to level up in your personal relationships and your professional life.
Dog

Dog, the month of April is busy, and you may see something in a friend that you failed to recognize in the past. You discover what you like in others and what they offer. You may undergo a loyalty test on the 18th. If you're asked to lend money, be careful and consider it more of a gift.
Your lucky number is 7, and you can increase your sensitivity to its vibration through meditation, reading, and going out in nature to practice being silent. Your ally this month is a Tiger; admire their shrewdness. Act on your first instinct throughout the month. Wearing navy blue can help you to tap into your confidence. If you want to go one extra step toward self-protectiveness, place a blue object by your front door.
Pig
Design: YourTango
This is a special month for you, Pig. For starters, by the end of April, you're likely to find a special friend or tribe group that is supportive and caring. Around the 9th, add a reflective object in the north part of your home or your desk to remind you who you are. If you have a friend, mentor, or colleague who's a Rabbit, consider scheduling a coffee chat with them around the 20th.
You want to wear light blue to important events. It instills a sense of inner truth and serenity. Help when you can to model the energy you want to receive from others. Be open to collaborating. You can work on improving your teamwork skills, even if you prefer working alone.
