April 2025

Walking through a door that just opened.
We still have business to tend at the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026.


At this writing on the last weekend of March we have had a volatile new Moon/eclipse in Aries and Neptune has moved into Aries.

Neptune is at the first degree of the zodiac for first the first time in approximately 164 years. This means world change; big world change.

Observe and honor how you feel emotionally. Take care of yourself. Let go of what you no longer need.

What will happen? We can ponder, but we will not really know until it happens. There is sure to be a movement for the rights of marginalized people as well as other actions directed towards making everyone free.

Thus far, Earth has brought an earthquake to Mayanmar and Thailand as well as powerful underwater earthquakes in the South Atlantic Ocean. This living being called Earth is responding to the changes in the zodiac and the cosmos at large. We too are changing.

While the change will be quick in terms of where and how we evolve, it will not be fast enough for some of us.

This astrologer remains hopeful and confident that the chaos and disruption is waking us up to societal situations that have gone on behind the scenes for at least 100 years. I am hopeful and confident we will build a new world that serves everyone.

We still have many positive aspects in the zodiac to arrive including Uranus moving into Gemini in late July.

At that point Uranus will form a wonderful angle to Pluto bringing about societal transformation, the likes of which have not occurred since the1920s. This aspect will affect us for four years. Politics, society, and economics will evolve. Relationships between countries and cultures will change. This trine between Uranus and Pluto is the basis for my hope amid what seems like a world on fire.

And now onto April; another month for the history books.

The zodiac is still heavy with Pisces energy in that Venus, Mercury, Saturn, and the North node of the Moon are cuddled together in that sign. This is a powerful combination calling us to find the higher self within our world and our individual selves. This is a time of introspection and healing. Now is a time of facing the results of our past actions.

Human rights will continue to be in the news, as will the actions of those of us who do not care for the fact that we are one and the same. Hypocrisy and corruption will be exposed. We will discover that many people are not who or what they profess.

We are all drops of the same ocean and many of us are arriving at that realization.

At the same time these planets and points in Pisces are harmoniously angled to Uranus, compelling us to embrace change that is grounded in common sense and emotional maturity.

Mars, in Cancer, is compelling us to seek our personal safety and security. Mars angling Saturn is especially effective at implementing acts that will confirm the security of our world and our individual lives. Mars provides hope and the chutzpah to put action into place. Happily, Mercury turns direct April 7. All that was initiated since Mercury went retrograde March 15 is sure to fall apart in the weeks ahead. Hopefully, dear reader, you were wise to hold your cards during that time and avoided new ventures.

Brace for revelations during the first two weeks of April.

The full Moon April 12 in Libra at 23 degrees at 7:23 pm CDT

Libra is about finding balance and this full Moon will show us how and where in life we are out of sync. Just as the full Moon last month was at 23 degrees of Virgo, this full Moon is at that same magical degree, but in Libra. During the lead up and just after this full Moon, we will be faced with the need and benefits of interdependent lifestyles and economy.

Venus, retrograde in Aries, goes direct at the same time as this new Moon. That which we have suppressed will come to light. Those battles from the past and our obsession with the past will lighten so that we are able to come back into this moment. This full Moon wants us to adapt and accept our life’s purpose which is to recognize the light within that we are unable to see. It could be considered a light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Additionally, on May 1, Venus will cross over Neptune in Pisces for the last time until late in the next century. This is because it will take that long for Neptune to be back in Pisces and available for this to happen.

Venus and Neptune together radiate the highest vibrations of selfless love. This is one of the many completions we have had since Pluto moved into Aquarius for the first time in 248 years last November 19.

At the moment a door has opened and we have one foot in the future and another foot in the past. We are closing out the era that began with the end of WWll.

GET IT TOGETHER
“Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now”

This was written by Chet Powers and first recorded by The Youngbloods in 1967 just after the last conjunction of Uranus and Pluto in Virgo in 1966. The cycle of Uranus and Pluto occurs approximately every 125 years.

During that time there was an anti-establishment movement. Society was in an upheaval and people were demonstrating for peace and human rights. We are still in that cycle.

This anthem of peace is a song for all time—and especially now that it is the time of this last blending of the planets of love, empathy, and unity.

Remember that Neptune is now in Aries for the first time since 1861. Idealistic Neptune is bold in Aries. Art will have a message that is bold and timely. The battle over who gets to set the rules will become more pronounced. The United States Civil War began with the last ingress of Neptune into Aries.

And remember that Neptune is still influencing Pluto from sixty degrees away. That began as far back as 1934.

Between 1950 - 1957 the angle was exactly sixty degrees. Then from 1975 to 1988 it was the closest to exact without being exact. The people born during this time were born to help with the transition in consciousness that we are experiencing.

Neptune sextile Pluto brings about a shift to humanity as a whole. Neptune is our ideals and Pluto is transformation. A collective shift has been taking place since this influence began. The people born during those times came here to be lights of peace and harmony. Unity is not just being on the same page of the world, but also recognizing that we each have the same fire of light within. We are one.

I know this is far away, but the next exact sextile between Neptune and Pluto is July 28, 2036. The people born at this time will carry on the peace movement. We are changing. Let go, but don’t let go of your integrity or your spine.


April 15 - 27

Mercury moves into Aries April 16 and crosses Neptune. This is first time this has occurred in over one hundred sixty plus years. Talk will be bold and cocky.

Mars, having backed out of Leo January 6, reenters Leo April 17 . Mars is harmonious to Neptune April 19. New and effective leaders are set to emerge, and movements can coalesce for an objective. This is an inspiring and hopeful time. For many of us this is a scary time. Do not let your self be pulled into a downward spiral. If that happens, take a break from the news.

At the same time, Venus having gone direct in Pisces is sextile Uranus in Taurus. Change comes unexpectedly but will still put a smile on our faces. With Mercury sextile Pluto, positive words make a big difference. Choose them wisely.

The Sun, in Taurus, is square Mars in Leo April 20. Just days later the Sun is square Pluto in Aquarius April 23. These are action-packed stressful days. Power struggles are sure to occur. Shocking words and deeds are exposed.

At the same time, Venus in Pisces crosses Saturn April 24. This is a time of making important commitments with people we trust. Some of us will feel burdened. This is a time of being accountable. Others of us will be disappointed in those we count on for support.

The new Moon April 27 in Taurus at 7 degrees at 2:31 pm CDT

Taurus represents the stuff of life that is valuable to us. This includes tangible items as well as our internal value system. This new Moon wants us to address our security both physically and financially. We will consider what in life really makes us happy. Many of us will turn inward with this new Moon.

In the days around this new Moon the earth will creak with the pull of the planets. Earth events such as earthquakes are quite possible.

On April 26, Mercury now direct crosses the both the point where it turned retrograde in and the place of the eclipse March 29. This is a time of fiery talk and action that may surprise us. Aggressive actions will be exposed or initiated.

Beginning April 20, we began to feel Mars in Leo coming to oppose Pluto in Aquarius. This is part of the Mars/Pluto cycle that began February 13/14 of 2024.

We feel this aspect very strongly April 25 - 27. This is a time of volatile clashes. Powerful transformations occur and opposing forces must face one another. The battle for authority will be stepped up in our personal lives and on the world stage. This is the most volatile time of the month and events that we experience will be more than we would have dreamed. Use caution at this time.

Leo and Aquarius are fixed signs. They are stubborn. Pluto in Aquarius is “we”; the collective. Leo is the sign of royalty. No one will budge. Autonomy will be at stake. Emotions will be intense and change will be demanded.

April is a volatile month and this is a tough ending of the month. Remember that as we confront our fears we evolve into a stronger society.

“Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now”

On the last day of April, Venus moves into Aries. Remember that Venus turned retrograde in Aries March 1. Venus will be crossing Neptune over the next few days. Venus in Aries has us advocating for our own agency. Aries is fearless. We will say what we have to say and will not back down to bullies due to the fiery energies now available. In months ahead, more powerful women will emerge to lead.

Read the summary with your calendar that shows the whole month on one page. Read through the intro and make note of the days that I point out. Mark the new Moon and the full Moon. The days between the new Moon and the full Moon are when you generally want to start something that you want to grow. Do look at that Moon void chart and take a rest on those days. I have discovered that no matter what I plan, it turns out another way on a Moon void day. Anything you try to accomplish will turn out with unexpected results.

Make note of the three days before the new Moon. People usually get anxious during these days because the phone does not ring or they feel confused or simply nothing is happen. That is because it is wind down time before the new Moon. You will usually notice that the action of life picks up once the new Moon occurs. Also note the days that planets change directions, especially Mercury retrograde.

Hopefully these suggestions will give you a bit of a start to maneuvering through life with astrology.
