April Fool’s Day Pranks by Each Zodiac Sign

The one thing people think of when it is the first day of April is the kind of pranks they will pull. The origin of April Fool’s Day is still unknown, but some theories exist. The likeliest one is due to the 16th century when France moved the Julian calendar to the Gregorian as New Year’s Day was around April 1st in the Julian calendar. New Year’s Day was moved to January 1st for the Gregorian calendar and those who did not want to accept that and kept wanting to believe that April 1st was New Year’s Day were mocked. And that may have been how April Fool’s Day emerged. Either way, it is a day full of pranks, and let’s see what kind of April Fool’s Day pranks each zodiac sign would be most likely to pull.

Aries – Confetti

Aries, you are passionate and have a sense of humor, as is typical of any fire sign. April Fool’s Day will allow you to show your mischievous side, which you like. You are the type that would play a quick prank. Since you are quick, you would not plan out the prank too much ahead of time.

Therefore, a typical April Fool prank for you would be to surprise someone with confetti, whether a family member, a co-worker, or any random person. The day before, you will head to a party shop and grab a bag of confetti to play your trick.

Taurus – Rearrange Or Deliberately Misplace Items

Taurus, you are all about possessions and material, and you are the low-key type. Since you are an earth sign, your humor may be somewhat dry, and any prank you would plan would be planned out since you are not the spontaneous type. However, you want to get in with the April Fool’s Day fun, as your type of prank would be to either deliberately misplace someone’s possessions or rearrange their furniture.

Therefore, if your co-worker is unsure why their office chair is on the other side of the room while their desk is in a different position, you are the reason for that. Or, if your sibling is missing their car keys and is looking for them all over, you are the reason for that, too.

Gemini – Prank Calling

Gemini, you are communicative and versatile and known also to be comedic. You are quite witty and clever, which is typical with any air sign. Therefore, any April Fool’s Day joke you will make will involve communication.

What other prank would you do besides making prank calls? Sure, there may be others, but this is the one that you would likely do. You may call businesses and ask them silly questions or random phone numbers. If you did this in your youth, you can relive that memory on April Fool’s Day by mimicking the Jerky Boys. Anyone who gets a prank call on April Fool’s Day should not be surprised to get it since that is the perfect day, especially if it comes from a Gemini.

Cancer – Surprise Someone With A Box Of Treats

Cancer, you are quite emotional, given that you are the first water sign of the zodiac and are known to be maternal. Therefore, you do not play pranks that could upset someone. But that does not mean you are the type that would not join in on the April Fool’s Day fun. What kind of prank would you play?

You would not necessarily play any pranks. Instead, you may be the type to surprise someone. You would surprise them with something typical of your character. Therefore, you would surprise someone with a box of treats, whether a box of candy, pastries, or other goodies. You may give out loot bags to your coworkers, which they would not expect.

Leo – You Will Create Some Scene

Leo, you are the one who loves to be at the center of attention, but sometimes, not really. You will create a scene for someone else while you watch and laugh, as any prank you do will be wild since you are a fire sign.

For example, you may be the one to glue a dime to the sidewalk and stand somewhere away from there and watch what happens. You will chuckle when you see others struggling to pick up the dime. You will be proud of yourself for why people are getting frustrated when attempting to pick up that dime and failing to do so.

Virgo – Any Practical Joke

Virgo, you can be serious as you are always focused on details and highly analytical. You would think being an earth sign would make you not have a true sense of humor, but you are the one who would enjoy making a practical joke, which would surprise many people.

Your jokes would involve focusing on details as you would play pranks, such as swapping the sugar on the table with the saltmaker or filling up a shampoo bottle with hand soap. If you watch someone sitting at the table where you did the sugar swap and putting salt in their coffee, you would snicker.

Libra – Gift Wrap Other’s Belongings

Libra, you are the one who loves peace and balance, and you value relationships, so you may not be the one to appear to play pranks, but you do want to join in on the April Fool’s Day fun. Being an air sign means you are witty, but you will not be the one to do any…
