April 2025 is a very dynamic month that ignites the spark of change and invites us to keep integrating the shifts instigated by the Eclipses and make new adjustments as we go. In the upcoming days, both Mercury and Venus station direct in Pisces and later return to Aries, encouraging us to take action based on the inner shifts that took place during the recent retrogrades.
April 12 is definitely a date to mark on our calendars as a potent Full Moon in Libra takes place while Venus, Libra’s ruler, is stationary direct. This event will bring the spotlight on relationship dynamics that need our attention and emphasize how our wounds and unconscious complexes impact how we show up in our connections with others and the patterns that keep repeating in our lives. This Full Moon marks the completion of a six-month cycle that started on October 2, 2024, with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra. Despite not being an Eclipse, this Full Moon will bring important shifts in many people’s lives.
Let’s see in more detail April’s upcoming transits.
Mercury stations Direct in Pisces
April 7, 2025, 07:08 AM EST
As the new calendar month begins, Mercury’s shift of motion invites us to take action according to how our perceptions, our mindset, and our way of thinking shifted during the retrograde. Around this time and in the upcoming weeks, new information is likely to come to light, helping us make more informed decisions. Mercury stations direct while conjunct with Saturn, Venus, and the Lunar North Node. This configuration invites us to integrate the lessons we learned during the retrograde phase and apply them in a practical, grounded way, particularly when it comes to communication in relationships.
Full Moon in Libra & Venus stations Direct in Pisces
April 12, 2025, 8:21 PM EST & 9:02 PM EST
The Full Moon in Libra will help us see with clarity the nature of patterns and dynamics that emerge in our connections with others. The Full Moon in Libra exactly opposes Chiron in Aries, conjunct with the Sun, and squares both Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Aquarius. This configuration will bring us into deep emotional terrain while increasing the tension between our personal needs and desires and those of others. The Libra Full Moon will allow us to gain awareness of how our unhealed wounds and unconscious fears impact how we show up in relationships.
Meanwhile, just minutes after the Full Moon peaks, Libra’s ruler Venus stations direct in Pisces, conjunct with Saturn, the North Node, and Mercury. Venus’ shift of motion begins a phase of realignment and adjustment in our relationships with ourselves, others, money, and spirituality, as well as many other areas, as relationships are a key component of all areas of life. Venus’ shift of motion brings our focus on making changes in our external reality that reflect how we inwardly changed during the retrograde.
Mercury enters Aries again
April 16, 2025, 02:25 AM EST
Mercury comes back to Aries, continuing its post-shadow phase and immediately crossing Neptune, now in the sign of the Ram. Mercury’s return to Aries invites us to continue our observation of our relationship with self-assertion, expressing anger, taking action on our ideas, and communicating directly and honestly. Mercury direct in Aries is an opportunity for us to explore new ideas and visions and tap into our intuition and creativity. While Mercury is no longer retrograde or in Pisces, its conjunction with Neptune can continue to perpetuate a sense of confusion for a few more days, blurring the lines between what is real and what is not.
Mars enters Leo again
April 18, 2025, 12:21 AM EST
Mars’ second ingress into Leo brings a surge of energy, vitality, and creativity. Mars stationed retrograde in the sign of the Lion on December 6, 2024, and has been traveling in Cancer since January 6, 2025. Mars’ shift of sign ignites the spark of change and offers us new opportunities to reconnect with our playfulness, our enthusiasm, and our joy. It is a time to come back to or complete projects we started in the final months of 2024. Mars in Leo encourages us to embrace our authentic creative expression, allow our Spirit to shine through, and embody our innate charisma. This transit can bring opportunities to heal our relationship with being seen while motivating us to take action on our desires and become the leaders of our lives.
Sun enters Taurus
April 19, 2025, 3:56 PM EST
The Sun’s ingress into Taurus grounds the energy, inviting us to slow down to digest everything we experienced during March and the first weeks of April. This season motivates us to consolidate what we started by harnessing Aries fire. Taurus season is an invitation to deepen our receptivity, attune to the organic rhythms of our bodies, spend more time in Nature, and allow ourselves to pause from time to time and appreciate what we have. This time of the year reminds us of the value of going slow, of savoring each moment. Taurus season invites us to find pleasure in simple gestures and recognize the beauty of the here and now.
New Moon in Taurus
April 27, 2025, 3:30 PM EST
The New Moon in Taurus begins a lunar month focused on building new foundations, appreciating simplicity, and cultivating a sense of self-love that isn’t dependent on what we achieve or produce. This event invites us to ground into our bodies and make sure we are aware of our inherent value. The Sun and the Moon in Taurus square Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, which oppose one another. This T-square configuration adds more friction and intensity to the mix and pushes us to confront any resistance to change and growth. During the upcoming lunar cycle, we will be asked to navigate the tension between our need for stability and security and our desire for transformation and evolution.
Venus enters Aries again
April 30, 2025, 1:16 PM EST
As the calendar month ends, Venus returns to Aries. In the sign of the Ram, Venus encourages us to pursue what truly lights us up and motivates us to trust our instinct. As soon as she returns to Aries, Venus immediately crosses Neptune. The Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries will enrich our creative life and sensitivity while inspiring us to dream big and trust our visions. However, our judgment may be temporarily clouded around this time and it may be wise to wait before making impulsive decisions in both romantic and financial matters.
April 2025 Astrology Forecast: Our Invitation
During the second half of April 2025, Mars comes back to Leo and both Mercury and Venus return to Aries after stationing direct. These shifts increase the prominence of the Fire element and the Yang polarity, which results in a surge of our desire for action, change, and new beginnings. After experiencing so much Piscean energy for the entire month of March, the fog finally clears out, we wake up from a long slumber, and our energy levels rise.
As the Sun enters Taurus, we are invited to slow down and appreciate the beauty of simplicity. Shortly after, as April comes to a close, the New Moon in Taurus squaring Mars and Pluto begins a lunar month focused on building new foundations while navigating the tension between our need for security, comfort, and familiarity and our desire for transformation and growth.
