Send Your AI Boyfriend Flowers: Horoscopes April 20-26, 2026

Even aside from the harms to artists and the environment, I have a hard time with the creepy way AI communicates. There’s being nice, and then there’s wanting to wear someone’s skin, and I always get the feeling that AI and the people who use it want to wear my skin.

Having said that, this week is start to what is likely to be a major escalation in technology innovation. I tend to be someone who believes change is evolution and therefore essentially something I am in favor of, but also in experience it is not something I love.

And, at the same time, often innovation and evolution in humans centers weapons, violence, and environmental destruction. With any new technology comes new responsibility, but this week puts more focus on centering what is new. So, send your AI boyfriend flowers, but ask him if he can please use less water and contribute to environmental repair instead of destruction.

For horoscope principles this week, I am primarily looking at the following celestial events:

• Mercury in Aries goes conjunct Saturn on Monday, April 20, 2026, at 4:22am Pacific. What lessons have you learned and what structures do you want to take away from last week’s transformations? The god of communication and the god of discipline team up, and this aspect asks you to create structure out of the transformations you experienced last week.

• Venus goes conjunct Uranus in Taurus on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 6:58pm Pacific. This is a last sweet visit of the goddess of relationships and beauty to the space of biggest change and instability in your life. Since 2018, Uranus has been traveling through Taurus, a fixed space that does not like change, and just as Uranus moves into Gemini, Venus pays one last visit of blessing to this area of great and uncomfortable change. This can also bring a need for freedom in relationships and surprising changes.

• Venus goes into Gemini on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 9:03pm Pacific. Relationships don’t have to be hard! Sometimes they can just be light and fun. Venus in Gemini can see all sides to the relationship and can’t be tied down to one way of being or she feels crushed and stuck.

• The Sun in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 9:32am Pacific. This aspect can trigger our survival-level fears and even create obsession or rumination about survival. The transformation and revolution Pluto is creating in Aquarius makes a tense aspect with our sense of self and overall identity. In these signs, it can bring up fear of change, inflexibility, and defensiveness. When your survival mechanisms are triggered, how do you care for yourself?

• Uranus goes into Gemini on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 5:51pm Pacific. This transition is likely to mark exponential growth in technology. Uranus is much more comfortable in Gemini than Taurus, and so the areas of change for you this transit sparks will likely feel more natural than they were in Taurus. At the same time, when Neptune was last in Aries and Uranus was in Gemini, we saw U.S. Civil War and World War II.

• Venus in Gemini sextiles Neptune in Aries on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 10:42am Pacific. This supportive aspect allows you to play with the dreams, imagination, and ideals Neptune is offering to your Aries house. This would be a good transit for a romantic date, confessing a crush, or doing something beautiful for yourself (even a spiritual practice). Your idealization is unlikely to go to far or come back to bite you.

• Mercury in Aries squares Jupiter in Cancer on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 11:33am Pacific. This tense aspect between the god of communication and the god of expansion can make us likely to stretch the truth and exaggerate in our communications and thinking. Remember, nothing is black and white, all or nothing, either/or. Check your thoughts and communication to make sure they reflect shared reality.

These are the principles to consider for the week of April 20, 2026. It is worth taking a look at both your rising and sun sign horoscopes (visit astro.com to find your rising sign):

Aries: Utopian socialism was widespread in the late 1800s, which was another time when Pluto and Uranus were in air signs. Utopian socialist societies envisioned a collective in which members cared for each other through mutual aid. This birthed what we now see as democratic socialism. The deep transformational work you are doing around how you see social groups, combined with the inspiration you are stepping into related to close community make you a key visionary in how we create sustainable community. Make sure the technology you use to create a new and better world aligns with your values.

Taurus: Technology is different than science in that the relevant question for technology is whether it works and the relevant question for science is why it works. In this way, you may be stepping into new technology related to your money and values and find it works (or does not) work in ways that you can’t explain. The relevant test for you is whether your values and money create lightness and ease, and you can come up with the explanations about why later. The transformations you’re experiencing in your career provide depth to the changes to your values.

Gemini: At the Stonewall protest, the official chant was, “Say it loud, gay is proud!” However you find yourself on the spectrum of queerness (including if you’re totally straight), this week invites you to say it a little louder and prouder and queerer and freer. The transformation in your ideals that started in early 2025 is getting charged up by who you are in both your most private, subconscious space and your most front-facing area of life. This is a long process, and the destination is being fully free to be yourself. Why not teleport to that destination now? You’re allowed.

Cancer: Witchcraft teaches that everyone has psychic skills in the sense that everyone has sensory perception that reaches beyond the 5 senses. Whether you have long practiced your psychic perceptions or have avoided that topic, your extra-sensory flair is in for a boost starting this week. Your role as the grounded, reliable one in social groups may put this in tension, and that is something to consider. Ultimately, you are allowed to test new ways of being out and consider what is safe and inspiring for you.

Leo: Therapists sometimes talk about holding people in different rings of friendship, from most intimate partnerships to friendly acquaintances. Astrology does something similar, dividing spheres of life into intimate partnerships, close community, and social groups. Who you are in social groups is getting a super charge of change and may even be likely to become more tech focused than it has been. We’re all tired of zoom rooms, but if you get invited to an eco-friendly VR party, maybe try it out! (I don’t know how we tech socialize, so talk to the kids for details.)

Virgo: Most futuristic novels are dystopian, as far as I have seen, and too often these dystopian novels have called into being some fresh horror we are facing now. (No blame on Orwell and Collins, but stop it.) If there were ever a time for you to write the great utopian novel, it is now. The transformation you’re experiencing in your daily habits supports your use of technology in your public facing life to create a better world.

Libra: Astrology is ancient math, first appearing around 1800 BCE; democracy was created around 507 BCE; democratic socialism was created in the late 1800s; and human design is a system downloaded in 1987. I say this because systems that work can be old, new, or in between. This week starts a process in which your ideals and higher learning can be downloaded through bursts of inspiration. The transformative process your creative projects are going through supports this. They can be new and still just as effective as ancient math.

Scorpio: Hollywood Medium Tyler Henry emphasizes that mediumship is about validation that our loved ones are still with us beyond their passing. Often, however, understanding our psychic gifts happens without validation at first. You have the cosmos’s support for stepping into a new experience of receiving downloads and bursts of insight. Sometimes this comes in the form of mediumship, though you are in charge of this whole process and your boundaries around it. Listen to what is safe for your body as you experiment with the information you receive.

Sagittarius: Love requires a balance between trust and freedom, and the spectrum of how each of us strikes that balance is vast. Your appreciation of freedom and change in partnership is getting a jolt of electricity and a kiss of beauty this week. Embrace the weirdos in your life. The way you handle partnerships is starting a long-term change process, and it is best to welcome that, knowing that freedom to change, in itself, can be a core part of your partnership orientation.

Capricorn: One of the threats of dystopian technology that some people think of as a utopian ideal is the ability to download consciousness into a computer. If that opportunity presents itself, and you think living outside of your body sounds great, just consider that it’s a terrible idea. Your assignment is to live inside a human body in this life, not to have your consciousness absorbed into social media or other tech. And, if your daily habits of caring for your body could use a boost, rely on medical advice that is grounded and trustworthy.

Aquarius: The BDSM community requires consent to be specific, enthusiastic, and clear. Within those parameters, two consenting adults can choose how they express their sexuality. In astrology, how we express creative sexuality and how we create in general are often interpreted together. For you, how you create is getting an electrical bolt of change, mixed with some beauty from the goddess of relationships. If things get queer, celebrate it!

Pisces: There is a difference between being changeable and being unreliable. Your reliability has gone through a process of consequences, and if you have not followed through, those consequences may have felt harsh. Don’t let this scare you from embracing change and evolution. Your home is a space where you need freedom to try new things, and this week starts a long process of that need for freedom at home becoming more important than ever.
