Written in the Stars // April

This month’s horoscopes with a bit of a twist

Lexie Vincenty and Abby Birch

In honor of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, Marvel’s tenth anniversary, plus the release of Avengers: Endgame, this month’s horoscopes are dedicated to both the various houses and characters from both of these beloved pieces of cinema.

ARIES [mar 21 to april 19] // Run and hide, Virgos and Pisces, cause it’s Aries season, y’all. Aries, it is finally your time. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find your friends not hanging around you as much because if they do, they will lose their minds. You are insane every other season of the year, and they can barely stand you then, but now, this month, you finally have got your turn, and you’re letting the fire burn in full rage — much like the Targaryen House. Something wonderful for you is coming due to a lunar shift, so some power is going to be pushed into your corner. Happy birthday? With this power will bring sudden bursts of your constant energy and child-like grit, which is exactly why you and Spider-Man would be best friends! Both of these elements come together to make you who you are, Aries. When it’s time to have fun, you’re out there living your best life, swinging on trees, and when it’s time to act serious, your leader switch is turned on. And everyone wonders why you and Gemini get along so well!

TAURUS [april 20 to may 20] // This upcoming season — not your season yet, Taurus, but that’s coming soon — it’s going to be all about what makes you happy because April just happens to be a joyful month for you! Much like your Baratheon counterpart, you are easily going to find what makes you happy this month and pursue it every other day, if not every day, because there are no bad vibes this month for a Taurus. Do you know how they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Not this time! Focus on your lunch, and make it the best meal of your day. Keep your Gamora side in check when someone comes lurking around your food, or you’ll definitely beat someone up for sure. No one truly knows just how possessive you are about your food . . . and also those you care about, of course.

GEMINI [may 21 to june 20] // It’s coming down to the point in the year where the Geminis are about to go insane, and every day, someone needs to flip a coin to determine your mood. One day you’ll be happy-go-lucky, and the other, you’ll be mischievous and cunning . . . like Loki! It’s not even a question that Loki is the king of all the Geminis, and it shows every time he comes onto the screen. Now, you are going to continue to be like this, but it will eventually die down a bit once the summer sun comes out, and you’re in your element. And this is why you’d be in House Martell. Not only do they reside in the hottest part of Westeros, but their moods mostly depend on coin flipping, just like you! You wouldn’t want to be any other way, Gemini, because it keeps people around and wondering if they’re on your good list or not. Also, to those who follow the series vigorously, we did not assign Gemini to the Faceless Men because, well, that is a bit too obvious . . . isn’t it?

CANCER [june 21 to july 22] // In honor of the good vibes surrounding this Aries season, we have decided to tone it down a bit for our Cancerians; we feel you’ve been through enough torment in previous horoscopes. During this time of year, you should feel more inclined to open up to people and feel comfortable doing so; yes, that does include your family members. See, this is why you would reside with House Tully because you prefer to prioritize your family over everyone — sometimes even your friends. Plus, since trust and loyalty are such a huge quality of yours — the spring season definitely brings them out too — now’s the time to just lay everything out on the table. In a civil way, of course. You care about them, remember? Also, anyone that tries to undermine you this month? That’s not a smart idea on their part. Remember you have the high ground, and you can bring the wrath when need be — much like the Hulk.

LEO [july 23 to aug 22] // Here’s to the fixed fire seasons, Leos! Even though it might not be yours, there are times where you have to learn to share. Plus, you have finally decided that enough is enough, and you are ready to get back to your cutthroat, ferocious, and outgoing self; it’s because of this that there is no doubt in anyone’s mind you’d belong to House Lannister. That being said, your rebound season is Aries season, so you go from feeling like a Pisces to being more insane than Aries. All the signs are glad you have your confidence back, but you can’t bounce back too fast, cause you may find yourself right back on some signs’ bad sides. This was one of the only times this year that you let your guard down, but it’s time to put the armor back on, Iron Man. You’re going to want to act all tough now that you’re out of that six-foot hole you were buried in, but don’t forget that the signs are here to help you. There’s no need to be a stubborn, hard-headed lion all the time. But hey, welcome back, Leos! Though some signs may not say it, they are glad you are on your way back.

VIRGO [aug 23 to sept 22] // The fresh blooming of spring that is upon us calls for all Virgos to get out of their house, put down the books, and DO SOMETHING NEW! It’s time for a wake-up call! When the new season emerges, that forces you to go out and explore. Don’t be all work and no play, like House Stark, and go take a hike [literally, like, go outside]. It doesn’t cost anything to go walk around your neighborhood or go explore the woods around your house. Oh, danger? Don’t worry about that. Your Gemini and Leo friends will be there to make sure you don’t twist an ankle or snap your arm. Also, don’t let your crazy Vision side take over and force you to work 24/7. Sure, you are both analytical and logical, we get that. Don’t think that working hard is a bad thing, but there’s always time for a break. Find a happy medium because we know if you slack off too much, you’ll just sleep, and that’s exactly what you don’t need.

LIBRA [sept 23 to oct 22] // Much like your Taurus friends, family means a lot to you and plays an important role in your life, especially this month in particular. This time around, those relationships are going to shine through and also give you time to fix anything that might be going wrong. You, like House Tyrell, will literally do anything to protect your loved ones and lead them to victory — that victory, of course, being the end of the school year without dropping out. The Great War — AP exams and finals week — is soon upon us, but thank goodness it won’t hit until Taurus season. It doesn’t hurt to start preparing for battle now, so get your group together, and start to dig around for those AP Psych or AP Econ notes you shoved under your bed all the way back in September; we guarantee you’ll need them in the weeks to come. Now gather your forces and defend your honor — your GPA — and bring out your headstrong T’Challa side.

SCORPIO [oct 23 to nov 21] // There’s no question as to why you are labeled as a Bolton, Scorpio. Your natural edgy, evil vibes just give it all away. Even if you try your hardest to show your “bad side” all the time, all good things must come to an end. And what better time to let your good side show than spring! Yeah, we’re aware that your presence is just plain nasty most of the time, but we can’t help that the universe exploded the way it did. The thing that people will ignore the most about your sign, Scorpio, is that with that creepy dark side you have also comes an awesome superhero side — Black Widow, to be exact.  Just watch yourself at this time of year; you might feel the need to go overboard, and you need your health intact for the summertime. After all, scorpions love the heat.

SAGITTARIUS [nov 22 to dec 21] // Not that we have to tell you or anything, but don’t let any fear get in the way of you accomplishing anything this season. Because yes, even you can let fear get in the way of finishing plans sometimes, which is why you would associate with Star-Lord out of anyone. Not only are you both rambunctious and the life of the party, but you’re just all-around crazy. Your wit keeps you going, much like Capricorn, because though you hate to admit it, your ego is crazy too. Again, not always a bad thing. The slight problem is your bad side seems a bit too similar to that of House Frey. Whenever your bad side shows itself, you come off as way too stingy and cautious, constantly fearing what is happening around you. It’s a good thing that side rarely shows up. Keep doing your thing, Sagittarius, because it only gets better from here.

CAPRICORN [dec 22 to jan 19] // Capricorns, you are one of the more underrated signs on the chart, and for that, we are sorry. Even though you might be small, you are definitely mighty like House Mormont. They rule their kingdom on one of the smallest islands in Westeros, but they prove themselves worthy every time they are called upon. You go Capricorn! All strong and mighty you are. We really do appreciate you, and this is why you relate to Captain America. Not only do you have the sort-of similarity within your names [“Cap”], but you resemble each other in your own unique ways. Together, you bring to the picture your discipline, ambition, and persistence. The only problem with this comparison is that you’re both so full of yourself because of your raging ego that it isn’t even funny. Oops, that was a tiny bit rude, but hey, we just have to be honest here. It’s just the fact that you’re likeable that just makes it hard to hate you.

AQUARIUS [jan 20 to feb 18] // This month, you will strive to learn more than you need to, but you will also be very emotional. Aries season can be very rough for you. You will often feel overwhelmed and like you are underachieving, but just stop, take a second, and breathe. Not only because you are making everything harder for yourself, but also because Leos and Aries are absolutely off their rockers this month. Then again, you’re off your rocker every single day, almost. Your secretive side will definitely come out to play, which may lead to some slight problems down the road. See, this is why you belong to House Baelish; they are constantly planning and scheming, and you might not realize it, but you are as well. As soon as you’re done with one plan, you’ll soon move onto another. Don’t worry, this little phase of yours won’t last forever either, but you’ll still be acting like a weirdo. We believe in you, Doctor Strange.

PISCES [feb 19 to mar 20] // Okay Pisces, this month may not be so bad for you. You are handling Aries season surprisingly well, and you are really holding your own out there against all the fire sign madness. Well, for the most part, at least. You are doing okay, just okay. There might be a cutie in your math class that you are thinking about going after, but you might want to drop that idea altogether. You’re definitely a Greyjoy, and as the fans know, they’re not quite the ones that have mastered the idea of relationships. Who knows, you might be able to pull something magical out of a pocket somewhere. Some, if not most people with your sign, can alter the scene around them to make someone believe they’re worthy. Altering reality . . . Pisces is Wanda Maximoff confirmed. You might not actually be able to alter reality to shape into your vision, but since it only exists in Marvel’s world, you’ll still try your best to do it somehow.
