Sagittarius Horoscope for April 2022

This is an interesting month of contrasts for you, Sagittarius. The Aries New Moon that begins it takes place in your sector of creative self-expression, presaging a terrific focus there. However, because Chiron the Wounded Healer is involved, there is also implied a certain degree of angst on your part that you will get it right. Meanwhile the very depths of your psyche are additionally activated. You are invited to consider what is going on for you with home and family considerations and within your own unconscious process that is after all a strong factor in determining what you act upon and decide. There is the possibility of innovation as well in this April timing, with prominent Uranus in your sixth solar sector. During this monthly cycle you might be seeing changes in habitual rhythms, health regimens, or perhaps in what you consider to be your life’s true mission. Learning and communication also find greater internal commitment. You are beginning to recognize that it must be your own deepest principles that govern your actions; perhaps to the exclusion of all else.
