Both Mercury and Venus are retrograde during March and April, causing confusion and misunderstandings in relationships. However, it is also a time of renewal as we start the season of spring and enjoy all it brings. This is intensified by a solar eclipse in Aries on 29 March. 2025 has really begun!
Notable Astrological Dates
13 April – full moon, 23 degrees Libra
27 April – new moon, 7 degrees Taurus
Pisces
There is a lot of expansion in the home environment this month, and it is important that you do not go overboard in your spending. With Mercury, Venus and Saturn in your own sign, you could feel a little dizzy and overwhelmed. Take time out, rather than trying to achieve a number of things all at the same time.
Aries
This is a far more direct month than the previous, and there is a need to get a lot done in a short space of time. However, for the first time in 165 years, the planet Neptune is now travelling in your own sign. This increases your intuition and your ability to be more receptive to the non-tangible.
Taurus
Mercury and Venus are still in retrograde at the start of the month, but both soon start to move direct as we reach the middle of April. The entrance of Neptune in your 12th house increases your curiosity for more connection with your spiritual self and creative endeavours.
Gemini
There is lots of mutable energy around this month, which can make things seem overwhelming, and it might feel difficult to make any plans. However, it is more about being adaptable and looking at different aspects of situations that need your attention.
Cancer
Mars is in the final degrees of your own sign this month – its departure will bring a sense of relief for most of you. Mars moves from your 1st house into your solar 2nd on 17 April, which concentrates most of your energy towards the financial area of your life.
Leo
Neptune now resides in your solar 9th house, ruling philosophy, education and travel. Over the next 14 years, these themes are going to be inspirational and enlightening, offering experiences and knowledge. Be prepared.
Virgo
Your planetary ruler Mercury is still in retrograde at the beginning of the month, but it turns direct on 14 April, improving communication in general. This also means that your life can move forwards, with ideas and projects that have been delayed over the last three weeks finally getting going.
Libra
Venus is still retrograde in the first half of the month, but it puts a focus on the health sector of your chart. This should be a month during which you create changes in your diet and exercise regimes that have a positive effect on your day-to-day life. This month, the trick is to create a steady routine.
Scorpio
Your creativity is getting a boost this month, as the majority of planets are travelling in your 5th house. This enables you to be self-expressive in a joyful and artistic way, especially if you are trying to promote yourself or a business product. These next four weeks will put you in the spotlight.
Sagittarius
The planet Neptune is now in your solar 5th house, igniting your creativity. This combination adds a touch of the unusual in the ways you want to express yourself. Mercury goes direct in the home sector of your chart on 7 April, making things easier when it comes to communicating with those close to you.
Capricorn
Your ruler Saturn is in its last dance in the communication area of your solar chart. Hopefully the last two and half years have seen you becoming much more aware of how you interact with others on a daily basis, exchanging ideas and taking on board the ideas of others. This month sees you reflecting on that experience.
Aquarius
Both your rulers, Saturn and Uranus, are moving forwards in the sky, which makes this a very productive month. This is assisted by the transit of Jupiter in another air sign in your 5th house. Be assured that you will be able to creatively get around any obstacles that come your way, perhaps with exciting new methods.
