April 2025 Astrology: Key Transits & Horoscopes

April is a month of shifting tides, blending the fire of Aries season with the grounding influence of Taurus. There’s a strong undercurrent of fate woven through the astrology, thanks to multiple North Node activations and Saturn’s presence in Pisces. Mercury and Venus both station direct, clearing up confusion and stagnation from the past few weeks. And then there’s the kicker—Mars and Neptune, now in fiery signs for the first time, making their debut aspect together.

The result? A month where momentum builds steadily, but not without some reminders to check your foundation first. We’re feeling the effects of a new eclipse season, navigating emotional clarity, and stepping into a whole new rhythm.

April’s Energy: Fate, Fire, and Finding Your Next Move

April’s astrology isn’t chaotic, but it is weighty. The North Node in Pisces keeps pulling us toward a more intuitive, spiritual path, while Saturn’s presence ensures we’re doing the work to get there.

Aries season kicks things off with bold energy, but the second half of the month slows down as Taurus season reminds us that sustainability matters just as much as speed. And with Mars and Neptune both stepping into fire signs, we’re getting a preview of a new kind of motivation - one that’s more visionary, more instinctual, and maybe a little unpredictable.

If March was about resetting, April is about stepping forward - consciously, carefully, and with trust that the universe is giving us the right nudges.

Key Astrology Transits April 2025

To keep it clean, I’m giving aspects dates when they are exact. However, in my own astrology practice I operate off a more liberal orb. Trust your intuition.

✨ April 3: Venus Retrograde Conjunct the North Node in Pisces (26°)
A moment of fate in relationships, creativity, and finances—but with Venus still retrograde, this is more about reflection than action. You might feel drawn toward something (or someone) from the past, or revisiting old values that no longer align. This is about reassessing what’s truly meant for you before moving forward. Pay attention to synchronicity and anything that feels like it unfolds effortlessly.

✨ April 4: Mars in Cancer Sextile Uranus in Taurus (24°) & Saturn in Pisces Sextile Uranus in Taurus (24°)
Breakthroughs arrive in unexpected but welcome ways. Mars and Uranus create a spark of action, helping us move forward on something that previously felt stagnant. Meanwhile, Saturn and Uranus—two planets that normally work at odds—are in harmony, blending stability with innovation. This is a rare chance to build something new without the usual growing pains.

✨ April 5: Mars in Cancer Trine Saturn in Pisces (24°)
Slow, steady, and strategic. This transit brings patience and discipline to whatever we’re working toward. Mars wants action, but Saturn reminds us that success isn’t always about speed—it’s about consistency. If you’re committing to something long term, this is a strong foundation.

✨ April 6: Venus Retrograde in Pisces Trine Mars in Cancer (26°) & Sun in Aries Sextile Jupiter in Gemini
A day of ease and expansion, but with Venus still retrograde, there’s an element of reviewing past relationship or creative dynamics. Venus and Mars create a flow between attraction and action, but this may play out through revisiting old desires. The Sun’s sextile to Jupiter amplifies confidence and big-picture thinking—there’s a feeling that things are coming together in an exciting way, even if they’re not fully settled yet.

✨ April 7: Venus Retrograde Conjunct Saturn in Pisces (25°) & Mercury Stations Direct (26° Pisces)
A reality check in love and money. Venus meeting Saturn asks us to clarify what (and who) is truly worth our time, but with Venus still retrograde, this is an internal realization rather than an external commitment. If something isn’t aligned, this could be a moment of reckoning. Meanwhile, Mercury finally stations direct, clearing up the mental fog and bringing long-awaited answers.

✨ April 8: Venus Retrograde in Pisces Sextile Uranus in Taurus (25°) & Mars in Cancer Trine North Node in Pisces (26°)
Surprises that lead to alignment. Venus retrograde in sextile to Uranus can bring unexpected reconnections, financial shifts, or creative inspiration—but it’s best to stay open rather than act too soon. At the same time, Mars trining the North Node suggests we’re taking action toward something fated—trust the weird synchronicities.

✨ April 12: Sun in Aries Conjunct Chiron in Aries (22°)
An invitation to heal through courage. The Sun meeting Chiron can expose wounds around confidence, self-expression, or feeling "good enough." The challenge? To see these vulnerabilities as a strength, not a weakness. Take up space. Own your story.

Is this your Chiron return? (Usually happens around age 50) Learn more about the meaning of Chiron in Aries.

✨ April 12: Venus Stations Direct in Pisces
Venus is finally moving forward, and so is our clarity around love, money, and values. What felt uncertain or stuck over the past few weeks now starts to make sense. The lessons learned during Venus' retrograde will begin integrating—watch for shifts in relationships and financial decisions.

✨ April 13: Full Moon in Libra (23°)
A turning point in relationships, partnerships, and personal balance. Libra’s Full Moon asks us to assess whether the scales are tipped too far in one direction—are you over-giving or over-compromising? This is a moment of clarity around what (or who) is adding value to your life.

✨ April 13: Asteroid Juno Retrogrades into Scorpio
Juno, the asteroid of commitment and marriage, shifting into Scorpio while retrograde signals a deep dive into trust, intimacy, and power dynamics in relationships. Old wounds or unresolved issues may come back for another look—especially in close partnerships.

✨ April 14: Saturn Conjunct North Node in Pisces (26°)
A karmic checkpoint. Saturn meeting the North Node is serious business—this is about long-term commitments, responsibility, and aligning with your destiny. If something feels like a major turning point, it probably is.

✨ April 16: Mercury Enters Aries (0°)
Clarity returns—but now it’s fast, direct, and unfiltered. Mercury in Aries means conversations cut straight to the point. This is great for decisiveness, but be mindful of speaking before thinking.

✨ April 18: Mars Enters Leo (0°)
A dramatic shift in energy. Mars moving into Leo means we’re ready to go big or go home. Passion, confidence, and a bit of theatrics color our actions—just be mindful of pushing too hard for attention.

✨ April 19: Sun Enters Taurus & Mars in Leo Trine Neptune in Aries (0°)
Taurus season slows the pace, shifting focus to stability and sustainability. Meanwhile, Mars and Neptune’s trine in fire signs fuels inspired action. This is a great day for creative projects or making bold moves based on gut instincts. Learn more about Neptune in Aries.

✨ April 20: Venus Conjunct the North Node in Pisces (25°) & Uranus in Taurus Sextile North Node in Pisces (25°)
Another fated moment in relationships, money, and personal values. With Venus now direct, clarity around love, finances, and creative goals is returning.

✨ April 25: Venus Conjunct Saturn in Pisces (27°)
A second pass at Venus-Saturn, but now Venus is direct. This transit brings final clarity around relationship commitments, financial priorities, and creative investments.

✨ April 27: New Moon in Taurus
A grounded, practical new beginning. Taurus asks us to plant seeds for long-term abundance—whether in finances, self-worth, or physical well-being.

Learn how to set intentions on the New Moon.

✨ April 27: Mars in Leo Opposite Pluto in Aquarius (3°)
A clash of egos, power struggles, or deep personal transformation. This is a high-intensity aspect—if conflicts arise, check your motivations before reacting.

Learn more about Pluto in Aquarius.

✨ April 30: Venus Enters Aries (0°)
Venus leaves dreamy Pisces for bold, independent Aries. Love, money, and aesthetics take on a direct, fiery energy—expect people to go after what they want with confidence.

✨ April 30: Pluto in Aquarius Square Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio (3°)
Deep emotional truths are being exposed. This aspect cuts to the core of shadow work, power struggles, and autonomy. Something buried is coming up—face it.
