Astrological Forecast for April 2025

April is one of the most beautiful months of the year, especially in New England. After so many tensions in the sky in March, we need something new. A rebirth, new directions towards peace and joy.

I start off at the end of March before I get into my April forecast as its important to remind ourselves that the sign of Aries is continually active till September 2025.

This is because Venus and Mercury started to retrograde in Aries and the new Moon solar eclipse on March 29^th is in Aries, the last of several eclipses in Aries over the last two years, where eclipse energies can run for six months.

A new Moon solar eclipse on March 29th in Aries at 9 degrees (6:58AM) also has Mercury moving into Pisces in deep retrograde motion and the ruler of Pisces, Neptune, entering Aries the day after the new Moon eclipse.

New Moon’s create new directions. A new birth (Aries) is happening for those with Sun, Moon, rising and planets in Aries. Especially when it’s a new Moon solar eclipse.

Maybe you want to change your job, relationships, financial direction, or travel to a new destination you have never been before for the sign of Aries.

Pisces is getting more serious over the next six months about manifesting their dreams here on Earth as the stellium, more than three planets close to each other, is continuing to magnify Pisces energy.

Neptune moved into the sign of Aries on March 29^th, bringing more sensitive energy to the masculine Aries type. The bride wants to merge with the groom. More on this in my May column as Neptune becomes the eye of a “Minor Grand Trine.”

April offers planetary energy starting to move forward as Mercury will station direct on April 7^th in Pisces at 26 degrees Pisces (7:08AM EST). Venus will station direct in Pisces on April 13^th.

NOW LET’S LOOK AT APRIL 2025.

Both Pisces and Aries are ready to move forward this month.

If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in either Aries or Pisces, in the beginning degrees of Aries and the ending degrees of Pisces, you will feel like life can move forward with less obstacles especially when it comes to all forms of communication and financial record keeping.

The full Moon on April 12^th at 23 degrees of Libra (8:22PM EST) also has Venus, the natural ruler of Libra stationing direct in Pisces at 24 degrees on the same day.

If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Libra or the later degrees of Pisces, this is an exciting time to move forward with creating beauty and balance in your life.

Communication in your personal life will get back on track by the time Venus is out of its shadow on May 15^th, 2025.

Romance (Venus) is in the air for Libra and Pisces so if you are single, you could meet someone new or if you are already in a serious partnership, you will find communication is running much better from April 12^th to May 15^th. Much better than the communication breakdown energies of March.

The full Moon in Libra on April 12^th is loaded with adjustments that need to be made in any relationships as there are two Yod’s and a couple of T-squares.

These Yod’s and T-squares involve the signs of Pisces, Taurus, Libra, Aries, Cancer, and Scorpio.

Chiron is right on top of the Sun in Aries as it squares Mars, the natural ruler of Aries and Mars will move into an opposition in the last week of April. Yikes.

Whatever happens between April 12^th and the new Moon on April 27^th, there are massive changes for the signs mentioned. The change for Pisces is less stressful as the planets Venus, Saturn, North Node and Mercury are trine to Mars in Cancer.

This shows Pisces, in the mist of the other planets in square and inconjunctions, T-squares and Yod’s, is not taking anything serious enough and just relaxing on the beach and watching the storm pass by.

However, all the other signs mentioned are making adjustments in April that were delayed in March. This could be about taking on a new job, relationship, financial planning due to unexpected, Uranus in Taurus, situations.

Remember this is tax time so get your tax returns in as soon as possible as we could see delays, Taurus, in tax return money.

This could be the month when Americans are genuinely concerned about where the financial balance is as President Trump and Elon Musk continue to push agendas too quickly, Aries, and not in balance, Libra.

Social Security will be a part of the front headlines this month and there will be more of a collective voice from the people of America to help slow the pace down of changes that are moving too quickly in federal policies.

The U.S.A. Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, mentioned that some seniors may not get deposits or a check for social security in April and will have to report to their local social security offices to verify their legal right to receive social security.

I must admit, I wanted to have a direct talk with him, when he said his 94-year-old mother-in-law would not be upset if she did not get her deposit or check for a month if it was for allowing a verification process to happen.

He failed to mention that many of the social security offices are closed in many states across America and that he makes enough money to lend his mother-in-law that amount she would normally get until her next deposit date after verification is completed.

This could be the turning point, by the full Moon in Libra, when Americans have had enough, and massive protests will happen. Peaceful protests in town halls or lots of news reporting this when Mercury stations direct on April 7^th.

Anger, Mars, is expressed when things seem too intense and the Sun/Chiron conjunction in Aries demands healing the open wound of violence and financial instability.

Palm Sunday on April 13^th, the calm before the storm as Mercury moves into Aries on April 16^th and Mars moves into Leo on April 18^th. Both Aries and Leo need to calm down as these fire signs can be loud and impatient.

Leo loves to be the center of attention. If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in these signs you are ready to take on the world but be careful not to take on so much that the world pushes back at you.

Sun moves into Taurus on April 19^th. Happy birthday to the sign of Taurus.

Easter Sunday is on April 20^th offering new hope for the world. Prayers and the light of love directed to troubled areas of America and the world are the best ways to heal the Sun/Chiron conjunction that started on the full Moon April 12th till the new Moon on April 27th.

Wars around the world may be ending by September 2025 as the Aries eclipse energy is no longer active after September and the signs of Pisces and Virgo are favored in eclipse seasons for 2025, 2026 and part of 2027.

We also have the North Node in Pisces as of January 13, 2025, so all of this mentioned brings more compassionate (Pisces) energy and attentions to health (Virgo) as we hear more about holistic healthcare practices over the next few years.

Earth Day is on April 22^nd. Take the time to thank Mother Earth for her support in humanities evolution.

The new Moon on April 27^th is in the sign of Taurus (3:31PM EST) at 7 degrees. If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Taurus in the first 14 degrees, you are evaluating your self-worth, confidence, and how it effects your financial life.

This new Moon allows us to become closer to mother nature as Taurus is an Earth sign. Working with their hands in gardening, playing an instrument or building something is often a Taurus enjoyment.

However, Taurus can be stubborn and hold on to things from the past, a fixed sign, so they may be challenged to let go of material things or memories of relationships that did not work out in the past.

The reason for this is the Sun/Moon conjunction on this new Moon day has two T-squares both from the Sun and Moon square to Mars and Pluto showing psychological (Pluto) issues connected to physical ownership (Taurus) that makes you angry (Mars) and the need to find an outlet for your stress.

Your affirmation till the next full Moon on May 12^th is “I LET GO OF THE OLD AND EMBRACE ALL THE WONDERFUL NEW THE UNIVERSE HAS FOR ME”.

Turn to your friends or family members born under the signs of Scorpio or Libra to help you have a balanced perspective on things. The tendency is to blow things out of proportion.

Breathing techniques can be extremely helpful during this time so the new directions, the new Moon, that you want to take, have less tensions and less obstacles in the way.

Venus has been in the romantic sign of Pisces since it stationed direct on April 13^th, but now Venus moves back into Aries on April 30^th and those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Aries, in the beginning degrees, have more charm and attract abundance to them.

Venus will be out of its retrograde shadow on May 15^th and May looks like the month when things fall into place for ALL SIGNS. I will discuss the beginning of a “Minor Grand Trine” in May that brings hope and opportunities we did not see in the first few months of 2025.

April will be an adjustment month from the chaos in our lives we experienced from late February through the end of March, to things falling into place but more obvious in the month of May.

Wishing everyone the feeling of spring as flowers begin to grow and birds sing songs of joy to allow peace on Earth.

Blessings, Lou.
