Your Monthly Horoscope
Astrology Basics:
At the moment you were born, the planets, the moon, the sun, and the star constellations that are the 12 signs of the Zodiac, were all in a specific place (whether it was daylight or night!). The same force (type of gravity) that holds the planets in their orbit around the sun, and which holds all the stars in their specific locations in our galaxy, effects you here on earth. The combined forces from all those bodies in the universe effect each of us on the earth in a very real and significant way. All of those forces also effect each other, depending on the angle at which they meet and depending upon the way that the qualities of each universal body interact with the other, which then effects you in a particular way.
The way these forces are aligned with each other, and their nearness to you at the moment of your birth, determine what your basic personality is like – the framework of who you are, by which everything else you experience after that moment will be measured. These forces determine how you will be inclined to perceive your world and react to your world, in other words they determine the framework of your personality.
You still have absolute free will, given to you by the Creator, so you can be whoever you want to be. Astrology helps you see and understand your basic personality makeup, so that you can use that information to see and experience your hidden talents, see what motivates you in order to use that knowledge to lead you to fulfillment, and see how to overcome whatever weakness or self-doubt you may have.
Horoscope for April 2025
You’ll get a more accurate horoscope if you read your Rising sign, and your Moon sign, as well as your Sun sign. Here’s how
Your Sun sign represents your Self, your way of being in the world. It can represent both the ego (mental) self and the higher Self (soul purpose). It symbolizes your will and sense of vitality. Your Sun sign horoscope will tell you what these areas of your self will encounter this month.
Your Rising sign represents your outer mask, the self you show to others. It symbolizes how you appear to others, how others perceive you, in your true interaction with the world. Your Rising sign horoscope will tell you what to expect in these areas of your self this month.
Your Moon sign symbolizes your personal self, your feelings, your subconscious. It represents how you relate to others, how you have nurturing relationships with others, your intuition, your spiritual self, your sense of security, and your habits. The Moon symbolizes your feminine, nurturing side (we all have one). The Moon also indicates the type of partner you will attract, since it represents your emotional self. Your Moon sign horoscope will show you what these areas of your self will encounter this month.
The rather intense month just past, Aries, now yields to an equally intense April as signaled by the recent wild New Moon eclipse in your sign, accompanied by the entrance of Neptune into Aries on that same pre-April weekend. This all provides an attitude of fantasy and imagination to light your way. There is this big feeling of brand new that accelerates through the various stages of the Mercury and the Venus retrograde. Mercury stations to direct motion on the 7th and, after re-entering your sign on the late evening of the 15th, finally escapes its post-retrograde shadow on the 26th. Venus in turn stations direct on the 12th, re-enters Aries on the 30th, and takes until mid-May to return to where she started. This entire April month, while exciting, thus has its introspective flavor, compounded by the numinous presence of Neptune. The 7th in particular is an entirely dreamy time when almost nothing seems to be able to get concretely done; there is progress, however, deep within, which might include a glimpse of inner wounding that has perhaps been lurking, and yet could in this monthly cycle find a degree of resolution if you are able to provide loving attention to your dark places. The Full Moon of the 12th in your opposite sign is also a powerful juncture when matters of relationship could be coming to a head and reaffirming your soul intention in this regard. There is a great deal of healing potential coming, all through, from below the surface layers of your psyche.

As you enter April, you find yourself in the window of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse from March 29th that took place in your sign. This sets you up in the early days of a cycle of fresh awareness centered around your identity, purpose and natural essence, which could impact the next six months and beyond. The ruler of this New Moon, your chart ruler Mars, located in Cancer, closely squares Chiron in your sign during this lunation. You could be motivated in household settings – or in terms of your root psychology – toward coming to terms with early childhood wounding and your place within the family dynamic; and this also could apply to your family of origin. You have an unusual determination to forge ahead with major plans in the freshness of this New Moon eclipse energy, although the continuing presence of both Mercury and Venus in retrograde implies that plan made now could change later in the month as these planets are recovering from this earlier retrograde cycle.
On the 4th, the First Quarter Moon appears in Cancer, co-present with Mars, again emphasizing themes of nurture, safety, your sanctuary, or familiar environments. Here, though conflicted, you might come to make greater sense of your inner world or private life in contrast to ego needs or exercising your own individual will as opposed to family matters. You are perhaps forging greater acceptance around how you care for yourself and others.
In this First Quarter Moon also, ambitious Saturn forms a partile or same-degree sextile to Uranus in Taurus, while Mars is tied to both planets, being closely trine to Saturn in your sign, and closely sextile Uranus. This is an electric aspectual configuration, simultaneously fortifying and startling, supplying recognition of changes you’ve been undergoing in your individual role and financial landscape, with surprises in the mix. There is an inner determination to be making progress on largely unconscious matters within you – therefore hidden from view.
Additionally, Mercury (still in retrograde) and Venus (also retrograde) are conjoined in Pisces and the water element, encouraging you to embrace healing, solitude and your imagination, in your low-key and behind-the-scenes twelfth house of unconscious process. You might be drawn toward soothing yourself, finding peace from within, filling your own cup, and accepting the position you find yourself in with grace. It may be apparent that radical adjustments have occurred around your input, contributions, and value. Your approach to your self-worth could be being radically altered, thanks to Uranus, planet of switch-ups and unconventionality.
From the 5th to the 7th, Venus more closelt conjuncts Saturn, indicating greater concentration and commitment for partnerships, plus enjoys a trine to Mars, and finds herself participating in the strong Saturn sextile to Uranus in Taurus, highlighting the contrast between holding on and letting go of restrictions. There are continued surprises, unexpected information, ad inner conflicts on exactly how to proceed, including with your relationship front.
On the 7th also, Mercury stations to direct motion, standing therefore dead still in the sky, which represents one peak of the entire Mercury Retrograde period. Mercury will slowly recover over the next couple of weeks, escaping its post-retrograde shadow by the 26th. You may benefit from embracing a serious approach to your career and recovery practices, formalizing spiritual regimes with extra consistency, patiently advancing whichever agenda suit your needs, attempting to resolve internal conflicts going on behind the scenes.
The Libra Full Moon arrives on the evening of the 12th, in your opposite sign, reflecting matters of self and other. Also at this significant juncture, within an hour, Venus stations direct, so that she is affecting things even more strongly in the way of introspection and review, and this is especially true in your relationship realms. Libra is governed by Venus, so this is a focus right now as Venus slows to a standstill and starts slowly to straighten out. Inner matters that affect your relationship dynamic are becoming more conscious. The exalted Aries Sun is conjunct Chiron during this Full Moon, prompting you to examine painful truths about yourself and begin to work on these signs of inner wounding.
You could be becoming more profoundly aware of important partnerships, and how a significant other has inspired a shift – or even a transformation – within you. Venus and Mars still aligned in water signs at this point fares well for you, so that there is benefit for you in seeking to accept your internal soul-searching process.
On the late evening of the 15th, Mercury re-enters your sign, forming an immediate conjunction to Neptune, and three days later, on the 18th, Mars re-enters Leo. These shifts from Water to Fire could directly impact you, so that you’re coming out of a sensitive spell – incubating your dreams – further into a more passionate cycle that facilitates creativity. It could become easier expressing ideas that have long been under wraps. Perhaps you’ll teach or instigate fun, celebratory moments, performing center stage – putting heart into projects that are personal. For a brief window of several more days, the Sun in Aries and Mars in Leo are in mutual reception, an auspicious time to get behind plans that require you to be present, showing vitality and enthusiasm.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season begins on the 19th, Mars arrives in a trine to Neptune, so that there is plenty of impulse to dream, as well as to make things happen, even though tentatively, with the recent retrogrades of both Mercury and Venus still in recovery mode.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in Aquarius in the early degrees of this air sign, forming a conjunction to Pluto, opposing Mars and squaring the Sun in Taurus, which in turn squares Mars. This powerful T-square speaks to your passions, and to the audience, your peers or society you operate within, and to the necessary practical measures you might consider as you hotly pursue what you want. Despite high motivation and keenness for your own plans, you might be forced to play to the crowd, slowing down to do what’s sensible, reasonable, or economical. This is a powerful moment of transformation, when you are attempting to resolve a conflict of consciousness within you that will become the background for your further dynamic process of evolution over succeeding weeks and months of this dynamic 2025 year.
Also in this dynamic Last Quarter Moon, Mercury in your sign is tied to Pluto in a sextile, while Venus is sextile Uranus in Taurus, and conjunct Saturn, these additional aspects indicating the scope of potential change. You might gain traction among friends thanks to ideas you have, perhaps take on new writing projects or find close allies who will understand your message. It might be necessary to balance your inclination to connect, network and be a part of social goings on, with your own individual experience.
The Taurus New Moon lands on the 27th, and signals a fresh start for you in your resources that you bring to the table, including income, personal security and your financial position. You might feel the impulse to lean into what you know works for you intuitionally.
On the 30th, Venus moves back into your sign, bringing relationships once more to your attention as you slip into the May month.
This month, Taurus, is wild right from its start. The self-reflection and introspection of the previous month carries forward into April. Venus, your ruling planet, remains in retrograde until April 12th. April is founded astrologically upon the recent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse with no fewer than six planets in Aries, including Neptune on its very edge, representing your sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work; you are in a rather limbic and dreamy space all through the month. On the 7th in particular, when Mercury stations to direct motion and when Venus still in retrograde, Saturn, and Mercury occupy a tight triple conjunction in late Pisces or your social sector, you will be simultaneously pulled to the inside and also finding a way to take recent realizations – that perhaps include whispers of inner wounding unconscious – into your connection with friends, groups that you favor, and evolving future goals. The Libra Full Moon of the 12th is also an extremely potent juncture, when unexpected events may allow you to give yourself greater latitude than what you were planning. The Last Quarter Moon in your sign on the 20th conveys to you issues of truth versus falsehood, including most especially your own internal truth about where it is that you actually stand. This continues to be a time of great internal change and new awareness of moral compass that reflects outwardly in your career and key relationships.

As April commences, you’re living out the fierce lunation cycle stemming from the recent Aries Solar Eclipse from March 29th, which can impact the next six-months ahead. This lights up your house of unconscious process, also catharsis and confinement, secrets, mysteries and anticipation. With this recent and potent Eclipse governing the whole of April, and beyond, you’re in the midst of a cycle centered around the more solitary or private side of you, with opportunities for inner growth. With your ruler, Venus, conjuncting the nodal axis in the eclipse configuration, and remaining in retrograde motion until mid-month, you are also likely to be rehashing what you can see of your future direction, and the way that your subtle inner understanding plays into this. You career perspectives are changing. Important partners in your life might be able to help with your ongoing transformational process.
There may be a significant process of letting go and healing that’s already in motion, that involves neighbors, sibling-types or how you communicate. The ruler of the New Moon is Mars in your sector of communications and learning, square Chiron in Aries. You will want to notice your learning curve and the way that participating with directness or enthusiasm touches on painful truths that are hidden, concealed or unconscious.
The First Quarter Moon in Cancer on the 4th is co-present with Mars, together in your sector of communication, curiosity, and learning, which can also reference neighborhood environments, kindred spirits and rapport. With the Moon in its domicile sign, you could be extra sensitive to people in your surroundings, as well as comfortable communicating with greater emotional awareness.
Within this First Quarter Moon, our wise planet of authority, Saturn, is sextile to Uranus in your sign, with Mars corroborating with both – trine Saturn, sextile Uranus. This could lead to projects or opportunities or perhaps curve balls, participating in your community, and serves to remind you of adjustments to your character, intention, and ways you’re now seeing things differently.
There’s emphasis on your friendship circle and extended networks, and perhaps a profound understanding of others, so that your peers appreciate the perspective you bring. Mercury and Venus, both retrograde, are co-present with Saturn, lending even greater emphasis to your collaborative sector of common goals. While there may be some hiccups in your social setting thanks to the double retrograde, you benefit from exuding confidence anyway, by simply endorsing your radical approach among friends and in your surroundings and letting go of your doubts.
In the wake of this lunation also, from the 5th to the 7th, when Mercury stations direct, your chart ruler Venus enjoys a trine to Mars, a conjunction to Saturn and sextiles Uranus, all before the 8th, and during this window Mercury stations direct. You might begin to gain clarity around your value in a group, since Mercury is your planet of self-worth. Collective wishes may be more compelling than what you do solo, so devote yourself to a meaningful a cause, movement or industry.
There may be a breakthrough regarding local connections, along with the recognition that you’re going somewhat against the grain. With Uranus in your sign, and activated now, you might recognize a process that you are involved with of liberating yourself from norms, changing your identity or your approach to your body image or your physical appearance. Perhaps you’re doing something innovative and utterly unconventional! You might begin to gain clarity around your value in a group, since Mercury is your planet of self-worth. Collective wishes may be more compelling than what you do solo, so devote yourself to a meaningful a cause, movement or industry.
The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 12th, illuminating healthy maintenance, your routine and conscious practices. Work and wellness can be acknowledged – how you take care of yourself but also how you recover within. At this juncture there’s also a shift, as Venus appears direct. You may find progress and relief around your sense of team spirit and those you’re affiliated with.
On the late evening of the 15th, Mercury re-enters Aries and forms an immediate conjunction to intuitive Neptune, while three days later, on the 18th Mars re-enters Leo. This affects your resources sector, which could include financial shifts.
You might turn inward, reflecting on how you’re working selflessly to make a valuable contribution. For example, your role as a parent or family member could require your focus, or there may be tasks you’re undertaking as a professional endeavor that others don’t see or know about.
You may be grieving or anticipating and preparing behind the scenes, so that it may benefit you to slow down, retreating home or to nurturing spaces. You might even take leave, motivated to tackle a property issue under wraps. Be patient, allowing life’s mysteries to unfold, practicing self-care.
The Sun enters your sign on the 19th, and at this juncture you might be willing to be more present and available regarding life under your roof or around your emotional foundations. During this ingress, Mars arrives in a trine to Neptune, so that driving ahead within your household could seem remarkably sacred, touching something deep within. You could be motivated to disappear from view to dream and nurture.
The Last Quarter Aquarius Moon on the 20th makes for a challenging configuration, as the Sun, Mars and Pluto are tensely combined. This could be felt around familiar spaces, your public face and outer life, and your true purpose or identity. There is also an emphasis on trustworthy inner values, either yours or a partner’s. It helps if you can be aware of internal and external factors that affect your ability to be authentically you, including your inner world, your outer aspirations, and your career.
During this Last Quarter phase, Mercury is sextile Pluto, and Venus is sextile Uranus, conjunct Saturn. It’s possible you’re aware of sacrifices that allow you to get ahead and be seen as a success. Meanwhile, your social network, team spirit and personal liberation or freedom could be important to you too – who you are among friends. You may have to balance your social life with operations hidden from view.
The New Moon on the 27th in your sign is a fertile fresh start that you could feel personally and around your wider circle, so you’re affirming who you are to your people. Answering to Venus – now direct in Pisces and your sector of sociability, and goals – you could feel the urge to lean into your peer group, to enjoy feeling that you are where you belong.
Venus then returns to Aries on the 30th, directing attention to your internal process, so that you might be inclines to devote yourself to a quieter pace as the May month dawns.
This is another largely introspective month, Gemini, due to the retrograde of your ruler, Mercury, as it begins. Although Mercury’s station to direct motion is on the 7th, the post-retrograde shadow period lasts until the 26th. This Mercury motion features a rather confounding station on the 7th, when Mercury, Saturn, and Venus in retrograde meet in a close triple conjunction in late Pisces. This Monday date is thus a double slow-down when there are lessons to be learned, and when, while there is very little forward momentum with projects or plans, you can expect a great deal of intuitive information to come your way. This month is, on the other hand, huge for you socially, with friends and groups very active and potentially subject to illusions or optimistic ideals. There is also the possibility of internal wounding coming more greatly to the fore, especially in the context of the powerful Libra Full Moon of April 12th. This is also another time when your intuition is more valuable for you than your conscious rationality if you can remain open to it. Relationships are important for this month also, and may take on an added emphasis at this juncture. The societal contributions that come out of your creative self-expression are subject to a certain degree of wonder, emphasis, or review. A week later, just as the Sun enters Taurus or your twelfth sector of inner work, on the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon brings transformation to your beliefs and attitudes. All in all, this is an amazing month for progress of a deeply internal kind.
The following was written by our guest columnist, Kimberly Peta Dewhirst. You can find her at starsignstyle.com
As the month begins, you’re impacted by the recent and quite potent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse from March 29th, which governs the thirty-day lunation cycle that follows – or, perhaps, due to the power of an eclipse, with influence lasting for the next six-months. This sets you in a monthly cycle for April pertaining to community, and your hopes, dreams and wishes as you peer into the future. Mercury, your ruler, still in retrograde motion from the previous month, lies at 0° of Aries, conjunct Neptune, and sextile transformational Pluto, promising further introspection and review of your societal impact, along with changes in beliefs and worldview, relative to Pluto’s position in early Aquarius, corresponding to your sector of higher mind. With Neptune in this picture also, the month has a tinge of unworldliness for you, so that a dreamy sense of compassionate spirituality unreality may at times come in, and your intuitive information runs high.
The ruler of this powerful New Moon is Mars, travelling though Cancer and making an extremely close square to Chiron in Aries in this lunation. You could become, over the course of this month, potentially more aware of inner wounding that has long been buried away, that can create reactivity in your responses to friends and within groups that you favor until such time as you can sooth and make more conscious this almost hidden source of painful feelings within you.
On the 4th, the First Quarter Moon appears in Cancer co-present with Mars there, emphasizing themes of your values, resources, earned income, and self-worth, or the ways that allow you to feel valuable. You might be assessing and making sense of what you habitually give, or are motivated to do in order to build security. In this First Quarter Moon also, enduring, constant Saturn in Pisces is closely sextile Uranus in Taurus, with Mars tied to both these planets – trine Saturn, and sextile Uranus. This could bring greater energy to your career and public path, and your responsibilities as you move through the world.
Residing in your zone of personal or professional aspirations, prominent Saturn there encourages you to commit to the road ahead, to your career, reputation, or title. Meanwhile, there may be radical changes in the works for you in this area, including surprise events and unexpected realizations with Uranus so strongly aspected and located in your twelfth house of unconscious, inner attitudes. Sacrifices made for family, or your goals could be apparent, or innovation around ways you consume, detox, or show up for others.
From the 5th to the 7th, Venus enjoys a trine to Mars, a conjunction to Saturn, and finds herself sextile to Uranus. On the 7th, Mercury stations to direct motion, which initiates a different flavor of the Mercury Retrograde period as Mercury recovers over the following couple of weeks. You might need to affirm how you truly want to be seen. It is still in the cards for you to reimagine your life direction, rebrand your image or adjust your ship’s course as Mercury slowly recovers.
The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 12th in Libra, illuminating your creative self-expression, to include your passions, projects, happiness or love life, and artistic inspiration. Libra is governed by Venus, and within the next hour after the moment of the Full Moon, Venus stations direct, bringing a great deal of attention to your vocational sector, your sense of security, and your societal impact. It helps for you to pay the fullest attention on what you want, and, as well, what other people are keen for you to do.
On the late evening of the 15th, your ruler Mercury re-enters Aries and forms an immediate conjunction to Neptune, while three days later, on the 18th Mars re-enters Leo. This shift into the fire element could directly impact you, inviting you to step closer to your group, using great imagination or perhaps letting loose among friends! You might be dedicating your attention to a position of prominence, or of spirituality, yet beware getting lost or caught up in delusions or dreams.
Team spirit within you could be high, with a starring role for you to play in engagements and networks. Some social gatherings or causes might seem compelling, yet as Neptune adds an illusionary quality, you might need to be aware of its influence at this time. You could be keen to work more closely with your circle of friends, or active among acquaintances and neighbors.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season begins on the 19th, Mars arrives in a trine to Neptune, which can add a more reflective tone, so that you’re preparing or wrapping up. Perhaps you’ll take space to process ideas and communication skills. Your energy is high these days, and it’s perhaps good to know your limits, along with when to escape for quiet time.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in Aquarius, in the second degree of this air sign, forming a conjunction to Pluto in your sector of higher mind, education, and travel, opposing Mars and squaring the Sun in Taurus, which in turn squares Mars. Mercury, your chart ruler, also makes a close sextile to Pluto, Lord of Death and Rebirth. This fixed T-square speaks to close ties, and foreign or travel concepts, so you might be navigating human dynamics and working with different people from further afield. This is another intense lunation, when transformation is in the air, and when you can profit from your inner determination to go the course, avoid getting stuck, and stay as open as you can to possibility and change.
The New Moon in Taurus lands on the 27th and sets the stage for the following May month, which could continue to deal with inner matters. As the New Moon is guided by Venus in Pisces, you are still very involved with your evolving social circles. You are finally out of the shadow of the Mercury Retrograde and could feel a sense of respite. You might benefit from drawing back into nature or disconnect in peace during this next spring month. When you take care of yourself, others naturally benefit.
This is another special month for you, Cancer, when not everything is as it seems and when reversals of assumptions are as common as seeing them through. Mercury and Venus are simultaneously retrograde as the month begins, and color its outcomes including the tendency to review and reconsider while encountering surprising events and realizations. Your career is also subject to loads of activity and some degree of idealization, illusion, and compassionate spiritual consideration. Perhaps most important, there is also deep progress corresponding to interior layers within you that reflects upon your ongoing developmental evolution. This month equally implies a general a slowing down of forward momentum and a gain in lessons learned. In the timing of the First Quarter Moon in your sign, on the 4th, there is special emphasis on key partnerships in your life; also on the 7th, when Mercury stations direct, and with the powerful Libra Full Moon of the 12th. This Full Moon represents a potent juncture that contrasts public persona with private musings and yearnings. There is the potential also for inner wounding to become more conscious, while unexpected events and surprising realizations continue to accentuate your relationship interactions. An ongoing transformation process affects intimacy and partnership agreements along with your emerging understanding of your internal moral principles. The Moon’s Last Quarter, taking place on April 20th, represents another quite powerful lunation when your deep understanding of ongoing transformation is again very present to you.

As you enter April, the effects of the recent Solar Eclipse from the end of the previous month are still reverberating. This New Moon moment signaled a thirty-day cycle that brings awareness to your sector of career and professional life, as well as public image, reputation, and your aspirations. There could be new ideas that stir you as you reach for the future and surprise twists in your social life that present you with unexpected realizations. Developments underway might highlight your path, title, and position in the world with the energy of new beginnings.
Ruled by Mars, currently residing in your sign, there’s a personal edge to this lunation. You might be ready to interrogate your goals and a role of prominence, affirming the ways that these are a true fit for you and seeking out the places where they do not match.
On the 4th, this is followed by the First Quarter Moon in your sign, additionally co-present there with Mars. You might encounter greater emphasis around your identity, vocational purpose, or on your look and physical appearance, the way that you come across to others. It’s possible you’ll feel at ease with your character and authentic self, with your chart ruler in its domicile sign, yet you might also pay attention to the way you tend both to your body and brand (or to your sense of accomplishment and career trajectory). As you’re still hosting the enthusiastic, ambitious influence of Mars in your sign, the way you’re seen or how others perceive you (as successful) could be more important to you or be seen as contrasting with the your professional engagements.
In this First Quarter Moon also, you find Saturn, your relationship sector ruler, in sextile to Uranus in Taurus and your community sector, while Mars falls in line with this pairing also. This could underline a meaningful journey or an educational path you’re on, involving a partner and friends in wider circles. There could be surprises, or intuitive information could prove significant. A quest, or course of personal development could be profoundly important, with a motivation and enthusiasm for seeking out truth in good company.
What’s more, Mercury and Venus (both retrograde) are travelling through this visionary sector of philosophy, learning and broadcasting, bringing more significance to experiences and expertise amassed. Venus finds harmony with Mars and forms a conjunction to Saturn in the water element, and additionally syncs with Uranus, so that there is loads of energy in motion.
On the 7th, Mercury shifts in its retrograde spell, stationing to direct motion. This provides a key moment in the retrograde cycle, while Mercury is standing dead-still in the sky, and as there is also a powerful triple conjunction between Mercury, Saturn, and Venus, marking a powerful follow-up to the recent First Quarter Moon energy of stop and go, and of discovering intuitive information to be helpful in resolving potential conflicts.
Partnerships with those further afield, or with a different cultural perspective could become more prominent. You might find attention revolves around your specialism, peers, key figures, and wisdom shared or published. It’s okay to ask questions and change your mind as you deal with global interests, significant figures, your dreams, and knowledge. Yet important to note that Saturn encourages discipline, commitment, and consistency, too.
The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 12th, in your sector of emotional roots, home life and domestic environments. This illuminates your inner world, property or family, and life under your roof. Within an hour of this moment, Venus stations direct, and as Libra is governed by Venus this is significant. You might consider your inner world and pay attention to household issues that could benefit from growth and discoveries bought about thanks to this retrograde spell. In the Full Moon, the Sun is conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer, together in your zone of public perception and accomplishments, so that you might also be confronting your vocation, leadership role or how you’re seen building or pursuing success. If inner wounding arises the idea there is to pay loving attention to that part of yourself that may be hidden within your psyche and perhaps feeling hurt as a result of past trauma.
On the late evening of the 15th, Mercury re-enters Aries and forms an immediate conjunction to Neptune, while three days later, on the 18th, Mars re-enters Leo. These ingresses affect your career and profession. These fiery transits with the Sun still exalted in Aries may bring rewards and recognition or instill within you a sense of new-found confidence. With everything that is going on, especially the Neptune emphasis, there could also be over-idealization or imagined escape plans that you are holding onto in the wings. Discernment is required to separate the practical from the fantasy or spiritual ideal, although sometimes the latter might be the more accurate.
For a brief window, the Sun and Mars are in mutual reception, which could be positive for your status or professional profile, with momentum in your public role. It’s possible you’ll be open and public about the work you do in private to get ahead, with an announcement or news made public, adding to your authority, credibility and aims. There is a thrust for your work becoming more profitable; and, with the retrograde recovery of Mercury lasting for another two weeks, caution might also need to be recommended.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season begins on the 19th, Mars arrives in a trine to Neptune, a signature emphasizing your efforts to perform, earn, spend or act according to your inner goals and spiritual understanding, and imagination, so that this magical amalgam could positively affect your outer life, career or personal aspirations.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in Aquarius, forming a conjunction to Pluto, opposing Mars, and squaring the Sun in Taurus, which in turn squares Mars. This T-square provides a moment of tension, given Mars and Pluto are in direct opposition, and the Sun additionally answers to Mars in Leo. You will want to be aware of what you’re trying to accomplish solo, versus what other people provide, with Pluto in your commitment sector encouraging you to see intimate collaborations in a new light. If finances are a point of contention or you sense a power struggle, you might like to talk from a place of authority and self-worth. This lunation enhances the overall transformational theme of this April month, especially wherever the early degrees of the Fixed signs happen to land in your particular solar or actual chart and insists on its recognition.
The Taurus New Moon on the 27th signals a fresh start rich in team spirit – here you could be working in community networks, with friends that understand how far you’ve come on your journey.
On the 30th, Venus re-enters Aries or your tenth house of career aspirations and outer prominence. You might finish the month in combining your social life and collective wishes with accolades and achievements you’re working towards. All in all, it has been a pretty wild ride.
This is yet another wild month for you, Leo, a time when introspection and self-reflection lead you to new conclusions about your relationships, your pathway forward, and your very identity. A sense of review and refinement of your possibilities continues from the previous month. With Mercury in retrograde motion, or recovering, for nearly the entire month, symbolizing mental process, you are in an introspective and thoughtful mode, questioning your beliefs and worldview. Monday, April 7th, the day that Mercury stations to direct motion, is a time when your intuitive faculties are more potent than any logic that you might apply, and when relationship agreements are greatly emphasized as part of a deep process of change. It helps when you can let go of preconceptions and half-close your eyes to see. The Libra Full Moon of the 12th is another quite potent juncture, when the astrological indications favor heart-felt communication, intense curiosity, and profound learning. Chiron, the wounded Healer, is directly on the Sun-Moon opposition, so that is also more than possible that there will be progress with recognizing inner wounding hidden within the deeper layers of your psyche. The Last Quarter Moon of the 20th is another quite powerful lunation, when you will be both shaken and stirred by a form of internal clash of ideas and values that could be fruitful in aligning inner principles with outer persona.

This lands at the very base of your chart, corresponding to your sector of home and family and your psychological roots, and therefore your private, hidden domain. Your property, dwelling, home life, or family of origin could be in focus, or affected by memories of the past. Nurture and maternal themes might be touched on too, and these background astrological indications could last over the next six months because of this lunation being based on an eclipse. Its ruler is Mars, located in your opposite sign, or your relationship zone, and square to Chiron in Aries. Your curiosity is stimulated, along with your desire to articulate your deepest truth. Key partners may motivate you to discussion and communal matters, or you might be invaded by your emotional roots, requiring you to acknowle painful truths around issues of inner wounding, based on early childhood trauma.

Your private life, security and commitments may depend upon your family’s input, trust, sacred bonds and contracts might become a talking point.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season starts on the 19th, Mars arrives in a trine to Neptune, so that mystical madness overtakes your dreams and your intimate connections. You might sense a keenness or compulsion to deepen loyalties with partners or involve them in household matters.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon lands in Aquarius, conjunct Pluto, and opposed Mars, resulting in a T-square with the Sun in Taurus, all in the early degrees of the Fixed signs. This speaks to your personal values and commitments, what you’re expected to give to society around you and your deep inner principles that stand the test of authenticity when you consider them.

Aquarius Horoscope April 2025
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) Air. Ruling Planets Uranus, Saturn
This is another thoughtful month for you, Aquarius, a time of looking to the inside for information, identity metamorphosis, and tuning in to your deepest and most sincere values. The changes of April are based upon the recent potent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse. Uranus, your chart ruler, is exactly sextile Saturn in the eclipse configuration, located in your sector of resources and values. These are subject to review and rethinking based upon the position of retrograde Mercury. April 7th, when Mercury stations to direct motion, dead still in these springtime skies, makes for another powerful moment, due to an extremely tight triple conjunction of Venus, Saturn, and Mercury in your sector of resources and values. The station of Venus is accompanied by the April 12th Libra Full Moon, also a significant juncture, when intuitional information contributes to developmental change. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is powerfully configured in this Full Moon, being precisely conjunct the Full Moon Sun, and you might experience greater conscious awareness of your own inner wounding – based on ancient trauma – and the ways that these hidden buried complexes within you could be holding you back. The Last Quarter Moon of April 20th, in your sign, is also quite stunning, emphasizing Pluto in your first solar house, Mars in your opposite sign of key relationships, and your home and family concerns representing another fundamental area of life. You are changing at the core, as only becomes more evident as this climactic month continues to unfold.
The following was written by our guest columnist, Kimberly Peta Dewhirst. You can find her at starsignstyle.com
As you enter April, you’re riding the wave of the recent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse from the final days of the previous month, which initiated and important and potent thirty-day lunation cycle that lasts for almost all of April, or perhaps, due to the eclipse, even for the next six-months. This sees you setting up a month pertaining to communications, curiosity, and learning. Your ruler, Uranus, is additionally closely tied to Saturn in the New Moon, located in your sector of values and resources, so that your own individual principles could be a significant part of this month’s developmental phase, along with writing projects, teaching or your interpersonal skills. Through all these nuances, Pluto remains quite active in the early degrees of your sign, so that the metamorphosis of your sense of identity is ongoing.
The ruler of this powerful New Moon is Mars, located in Cancer and making a close square to Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in Aries in this New Moon. It is interesting to note that Chiron comes up again in the Full Moon configuration of the 12th. With featured Chiron, it is possible that your awareness of your own inner wounding, the residue of early child trauma of one kind or another, could arise and serve as an opportunity for healing.
Additionally, as the month gets underway, Mercury and Venus are both retrograde in Pisces, encouraging you to review or rethink budgets, expenses, outgoings and the topic of your salary or input. What you’re prepared to pay for may have been playing on your mind, as well as what’s sound, secure, stable and worth your while.
On the 4th, the First Quarter Moon appears in Cancer co-present with Mars there and emphasizing the theme of daily experiences, habitual behaviors, your wellbeing, and your workplace. You could at this juncture become more aware of ways you’re useful, and in service to others, as you seek a better handle on your true mission statement.
In this First Quarter Moon configuration, Saturn is sextile Uranus, and Mars is tied to both planets – trine Saturn in Pisces, sextile Uranus in Taurus. This could be special for you, with the Aquarian traditional and contemporary ruling planets (Saturn and Uranus) conspiring in your astrology. This could underscore your role, how you make a living, or the assets and attributes you possess, including feelings of your self-worth.
From the 5th to the 7th, Venus enjoys a trine to Mars, a conjunction to Saturn, and finds herself sextile to Uranus. On the 7th, Mercury stations to direct motion. Your own desires and wishes around sources of compensation could become clearer, so you know what you want and what will bring you happiness.
The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 12th, illuminating your sector of higher mind and educational initiatives that are not necessarily academic, as well a long-distance travel destinations, beliefs, and worldview. You could be engaged at this juncture in discovering new ways of seeing the world. Libra is governed by Venus, and within the hour of the Full Moon Venus stations direct, emphasizing a shift in values and your root psychology, as well as issues of higher mind where this Libra Moon resides. With Chiron also dramatically featured in this Full Moon, issues of inner wounding that have been on your mind could reappear in a more settled guise. These concerns could take on extra focus under the concentration of your mental and emotional powers.
On the late evening of the 15th, Mercury re-enters Aries, or your communication sector, and forms an immediate conjunction to Neptune, while three days later, on the 18th, Mars re-enters Leo. These transitions could ramp up your sense of rapport, spurring energy and interest in partnerships or intimate relationships, while exciting your sense of fun, romance, and creativity in local settings. This transit could also connect you to key skills, language, or navigational aids, with the caveat that notions of fantasy or fuzzy thinking could equally prevail, as nebulous Neptune brings an otherworldly viewpoint to offset the logical mental powers normally associated with strong Mercury.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season starts on the 19th, Mars in Leo trines Neptune, to calibrate in your sanctuary or approach household issues with certain people, with emphasis on relationships. A partner might feature in familiar spaces, as nurturing or nesting. You might understand someone on a totally new level, with emphasis on communicating in new or idealized ways. You might discover unusual information by relying on instinct.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in your sign, with a conjunction to transformational Pluto. In this Last Quarter configuration, Mercury enters into a near-perfect sextile with Pluto, perhaps spurring your recognition of the extent of the changes that you are going through. The Moon is also opposing Mars, which in turn squares the Sun, and this suggests challenges and tension within your four walls, also highlighting private versus visible and your innermost values attempting to get into better sync with your more public ones. At this time, it pays to be extra mindful of any reactivity, as Mars-Pluto combined can be a pretty fierce combination!
The Taurus New Moon lands on the 27th at the very base of your chart, setting the stage for the May month as leading you to examine life under your roof, such issues with family dynamics, partners, or your dwelling space itself. As the New Moon is guided by Venus in Pisces, your sector of values, you are still mightily concerned with this important factor of inner moral compass.
Pisces Horoscope April 2025
PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Water. Ruling Planets Neptune, Jupiter
This is another very interesting month, Pisces, when inner planet retrogrades feature in your sign, and when the recent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse that colors pretty much all of April illuminates your sector of values and resources. Your entire relationship with the material world itself might be on the line. You have perhaps been suspecting lately that the 3D world of the physical is only a part of the story. As April gets underway, you are quite aware of your physical needs themselves, through an Aries stellium that was also featured in the New Moon eclipse. Your ruler, Neptune, has just left your sign for Aries, ending its long sojourn there, and initiating you into a distinct new phase of your evolutionary development. Mercury has been moving backwards through your resources sector for the last two weeks, and has now entered your sign, getting ready to station and to slowly begin moving forward. The date of Mercury’s station, the 7th, is the moment of a triple conjunction of Venus, Saturn, and a stationary Mercury, and is thus a powerful moment when you could feel the heaviness of your decision process as you weigh your choices and your level of commitment. Then, on the 12th, we have both the Libra Full Moon, bringing up issues of self and other, and the station to direct motion of Venus, in your sign. This is an important culmination of what has gone before, and features Uranus in your communications sector. There could be unexpected revelations that will emerge for you at this significant juncture, paving the way for your future development.

Your values and resources, as well as your financial position or the way you contribute and find purpose is spotlighted as you enter April. The recent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse from last month governs the lunation cycle that was then initiated, lasting for most of the current month and potentially for the next six months, being an eclipse. The ruler of this New Moon is Mars in your sector of creative self-expression, romance, and any children you might have connections with, and Mars is also square Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in this New Moon configuration. You may be aware of your input, value and worth, and inspired to take stock, with the potential for inner wounding to emerge and allow you the opportunity, by diligent effort, to find better acceptance of yourself in these dark places within you.
On the 4th, the First Quarter Moon appears in Cancer, co-present with Mars, again emphasizing themes around your creativity. This can also illustrate contrasts between issues of stability, or your feelings of security, with what gives you joy and pleasure, especially in relation to your projects and productive output.
Within this First Quarter Moon, Saturn arrives in a sextile to Uranus, with passionate Mars aligned with both – trine to Saturn in in your sign, sextile Uranus in Taurus. This could underline personal responsibilities in exciting, energizing settings, and see you driving ahead with passion!
Radical changes may have adjusted your mindset or even how you navigate socially. Your communication skills and what you connect on could be unorthodox, how you present information may be innovative and progressive!
Mercury and Venus, both retrograde, are co-present with Saturn in your sign, encouraging you to embrace your message, delivery and what you say to those in your environment. You might be inspired to feature your creativity, with all eyes on you! If you can bounce ideas off those around you, the collaboration might prove extremely helpful right now, and stabilizing.
From the 5th to the 7th, Venus aligns with Mars in a trine, forms a conjunction to Saturn, and finds itself sextile to Uranus. In this same window, on the 7th, Mercury stations direct, thus standing dead-still in the sky, emphasizing this moment. This is a powerful juncture, when everything slows down quite a bit, perhaps sponsoring frustration. There are however important lessons to be had and the slow-down might be the best way for these to more fully land.
The potentially intense Libra Full Moon arrives on the 12th, illuminating issues of self and other. This is an important time of events coming to a head, with further lessons. Venus also stations to direct motion – and as Venus is the ruler of Libra, this timing increases the significance. Your communication is quite potent and your word carries unusual weight, while with Uranus emphasized, you might encounter startling revelations or surprise events as you reach out for interpersonal connection.
On the late evening of the 15th, Mercury re-enters Aries, while three days later, on the 18th Mars re-enters Leo, which adds more emphasis to your values, finances, and your personal sense of security. Perhaps you’ll be motivated in new ways as this ingress to your resources sector takes place, to get organized, or to care of your investments.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season starts on the 19th, Mars in Leo trines Neptune, so that driving ahead with your lifestyle, a wellness practice or everyday maintenance could compliment a new approach to earnings. You could need to beware over-idealization of what you’ve got going. You might be quite keen to move ahead with what’s worthwhile, and provides you a feeling of spiritual connection.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in Aquarius, with the Moon conjunct Pluto, and opposite Mars, resulting in a T-square with the Sun in Taurus, all in the early degrees of the fixed signs. This could make it apparent how busy you are, or what you’re trying to do in your schedule, and presents a healing path you’re undergoing in private. Be aware of social engagements, and your inner circle that demands attention too – and perhaps your management skills.
During this Last Quarter phase, Mercury in Aries comes into a sextile with Pluto, so you might be thinking about personal security, your role, or finances with acceptance, surrendering or a private strategy. Meanwhile, Venus is sextile Uranus, and conjunct Saturn, potentially affirming a demonstration of responsibility within your inner circle. It’s possible you’ll be called to be social, and deal with an important practical matter.
The New Moon in Taurus on the 27th sets you up for the May month, and is ideal for seeding a friendly fresh start for your interactions, rapport, and even writing projects, teaching, or life in your neighborhood. Venus is in your sign, and is the ruler of this New Moon, still recovering from her recent retrograde. You might be inclined to gravitate toward those likeminded, who could be showing up beautifully.
An April Month of Intuition, Outer Limitation, and Eventual Change
April dawns upon us astrologically with a gigantic spiritually-oriented splash in the wake of the rather extreme energy of the recent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse from just two days before the current month began. This Aries lunation cycle has nearly its entire thirty-day span yet to go, covering almost the whole of April. With the two inner planet retrogrades still happening as April begins, and, now, Neptune suddenly in Aries, and as well the mere fact of retrograde Mercury in this recent eclipse configuration at 0° 28’ of Aries being ½ degree away from Neptune at 29° 57’ Pisces on the very edge of the Aries sign, we have an inspired and yet an introspective, confusing, and deceptive Neptunian month to contend with. The recent eclipse governing the April month has also many other outer planet combinations, including transformational Pluto, stodgy, limiting Saturn, and the surprise twists and turns of Trickster Uranus in Taurus all highlighted, confirming what will surely be a memorable time as we attempt to keep our heads on straight through it all.
The retrogrades of Mercury and Venus are winding up in the first half of April, specifically on the 7th and the 12th, and these dates are quite significant, featuring a tight triple conjunction in Pisces of Venus, Saturn, and Mercury on the 7th, and the Libra Full Moon on the 12th. Mercury slowly recovers from its backward motion over the next two and a half weeks, escaping its post-retrograde shadow on the 26th of the current month. Venus takes a little longer, officially getting back to where she left off by May 15th.
The powerful eclipse that governs most of April – right through to the 27th – has many outer planets configured in close aspect to each other, including Mars square Chiron, Saturn to Uranus, a sextile, and nebulous Neptune in conjunction with Mercury, in retrograde, so that our thinking is liable to be a little fuzzy, even wobbly, as we navigate this difficult month. With the Saturn-Uranus contrast, what is real and rule-abiding is in collusion with what is, instead, rule-breaking, so that we have innovation, which is a Good Thing, and yet also destabilization, which might be, on the other hand, somewhat confounding. The Chiron presence can serve to remind us of where we might be caught up in our own inner wounding, the residue of unresolved childhood trauma, and where we might, by accepting our flaws and giving loving attention to them, yet heal.
Interestingly, in the Full Moon of the 12th, with the Moon at 23° of Libra, the Sun, opposed, is precisely conjunct Chiron, at 23° of Aries, bringing up a further episode when we might encounter our own inner wounding.
The presence of Pluto in early Aquarius is also prominent in the eclipse configuration, ensuring that transformation continues to be the name of the game. As Bob Dylan assures us, this is all just part of being human. In the volatile1960s, of which we have a not-so-distant echo now, he was able to articulate that “everybody not busy being born is busy dying.”
Another important lunation takes place on the 20th, when the Last Quarter Moon lands in 1° Taurus, while Mars is also at 1° Leo, opposed the Aquarius Sun conjunct Pluto, and square the presence of the new Nature planet, Haumea, that I have been researching as having to do with the truth coming out, lies exposed, always a favorite moment for the politicians. In the case of this climactic moment, we also have Mars opposite Pluto, which can be volatile, so that we might want to watch our words and count to ten before reacting. This intense opposition of Mars and Pluto is enhanced by the quarter Moon Sun and Moon in square, in the phase that noted 21st century astrologer Dane Rudhyar called a “crisis of consciousness” when treasured prior opinions must potentially yield to new attitudes and realizations.
So with all this intensity built into the April astrology, including Eris, spiritual warrior for soul intention and for taking a stand for yourself as you can find this necessary, we are definitely up against it. The good thing in all this is, however, that when we can consult our inner guidance, our true innermost principles and values, and only these, we can come to a sense of peace amidst the maelstrom. In any case, we know where we ourselves stand, in spite of everything, and that can be enough.
