General Forecast

April 2025 Astrological Forecast: A Month of Realignment and Resurgence

April is deeply emotional and karmic, with Venus and Mercury in retrograde turning direct in Pisces, guiding us through spiritual reviews and renewal, along with our connection to others. The first half is about internal contemplation, with water trines encouraging healing and alignment. The grand minor trine between Mars, Saturn and Uranus can bring solutions and gifts.  The second half turns up the heat as Mars enters Leo and begins to clash with Pluto and the Sun, testing our ability to assert ourselves without egoism or power games. By the Taurus New Moon, there's an opportunity to lay new foundations, built not just on our own desires but on the wisdom gained through the month’s trials.

 

Week 1: April 1 – 6

The month opens with a cascade of harmonious aspects on April 1, providing a stabilizing tone.

Mars in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces offers structured action guided by intuition. Mars is in its fall in Cancer, but the trine to Saturn in a supportive water sign brings discipline to emotional impulses. This is a time for steady, protective, purposeful efforts, which are ideal for managing long-term goals or addressing sensitive matters.

Mars sextile Uranus in Taurus adds a spark of innovation and inspiration.  This is a good time to take pragmatic action in order to break away from old habits.

Saturn sextile Uranus brings change through stability, where restructuring old ways makes room for something new..

 

On April 2, Venus retrograde conjoins the North Node in Pisces, inviting karmic re-evaluation of relationships, values, and artistic expression. Venus in Pisces is exalted, but retrograde—signaling reflection on emotional attachments or love from the past. These themes deepen on April 3, when Mercury retrograde also conjoins the North Node—important messages or memories may resurface.

 

Week 2: April 7 – 13

Mercury stations direct on April 7, ending the reflective retrograde period and allowing mental clarity to return. As Venus retrograde also conjoins Saturn that same day, there may be a sobering truth about relationships or finances that must be accepted before moving forward. This is a deeply karmic transit—lessons about love, responsibility, and compassion come to the forefront.

 

By April 9, Mars trines Venus retrograde—a softening of Mars’ assertiveness into receptive, emotional tones. Passion meets vulnerability, suggesting reconciliation or closure with someone from the past.

 

April 12 brings Mars trine the North Node, energizing your soul path. It's a great time to take action that aligns with your spiritual growth.

 

Then on April 13, we experience the Full Moon in Libra (23°19’)—illuminating relationship dynamics and seeking equilibrium between self and others. Libra’s ruler, Venus, is stationing direct and conjunct Saturn, which includes a culmination or completion. This will require emotional maturity, boundaries, and balance. Also on April 13, Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries brings wounds of identity, self-worth, and independence into focus. The full moon may expose insecurities, but will also provide the opportunity to heal and reclaim your power.

 

Week 3: April 14 – 20

The energy shifts on April 18 as Mars enters Leo. Wiping away our thoughts of insecurity and encouraging our bold initiatives, independence and authority. Mars is now in a fixed fire sign, proud, bold, and ready to act with charisma—but also prone to drama or ego-driven conflicts.

 

On April 20, the Sun enters Taurus, grounding the Aries fire into earthy stability. However, the Mars-Sun square the same day brings friction. An ego-driven action may overpower slower, more deliberate goals. Patience is key.

 

Week 4: April 21 – 27

April 23 sees the Sun square Pluto as a test of power, ego, or control dynamics. Expect revelations or conflicts that push you to face what needs transformation. This is an intense but purifying energy, especially around security, possessions, or identity.

 

April 25, Venus conjoins Saturn once again, but in direct motion, as we enter our final test of the themes during the month. Are your values aligned with your responsibilities? Have you honored your emotional truth?

 

The intensity peaks on April 26, when Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius—a potentially explosive transit. This aspect tests your willpower and self-control. Avoid power struggles and direct this energy into strategic change rather than domination.

 

Finally, April 27 delivers a New Moon in Taurus (7°46’)—a fresh start for material stability, values, and natural living. After a month of emotional reconfiguration and karmic clearing, this lunation plants the seeds for growth, especially in areas of money, pleasure, and grounded security.
