The Astrology Forecast for April 22nd - April 29th, 2025

Hey Cosmic Seekers,

The celestial tides are shifting, and we’re finally beginning to orient ourselves full-force in a new direction. After months of swimming through a messy soup of emotions, possibilities, confusion, and flickers of hope, we’re stepping into a week charged with the pressure — and power — to consolidate. 

Pluto, the planet of transformation and deep truth, is a major player this week, adding weight and intensity to the choices we make now. No more just dreaming or dancing at the edge of change. It’s time to dig our heels into the soil we’ve chosen to till.

April 23rd - Sun in Taurus makes a waxing square to Pluto in Aquarius

The first major tone shift of the week culminates as the steadfast Sun in Taurus lays out its beef with experimental Pluto in Aquarius. Typically, when the Sun moves through Taurus, our attention turns to stability, security, and sensual satisfaction. Our decisions lean toward preserving and savoring what’s good in life: slow mornings, nourishing meals, serene environments.

But Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t play by those rules.

This square brings an acute tension, pressing us to confront where our craving for comfort might be resisting necessary evolution. Pluto, the cosmic excavator, demands we strip away the mindsets and structures that no longer empower us — and this week, that invitation may come loud and clear. You may feel inner resistance, fear of change, or a reluctance to release something familiar in order to grow.

It’s a clash between consistency and transformation — and this theme pulses loudly through the week.

Especially as this cosmic current builds off the recent Sun square Mars in Leo on Monday, the intensity is layered. We’re not just being asked to shift — we’re being dared to radically realign our confidence, our actions, and our power.

April 23rd - Venus in Pisces conjuncts Saturn in Pisces

Venus and Saturn have been waltzing in Pisces for weeks now, slowly syncing into step as Venus resumed forward motion after her retrograde detour. Now, they meet in exact conjunction — bringing emotional maturity, commitment clarity, and grounded creativity into sharper focus.

This pairing blends Venus’ love of beauty, connection, and value with Saturn’s seriousness, structure, and long-term vision. In Pisces, this energy can feel subtle, dreamy, even surreal — but it’s not without weight. Conversations and commitments, especially those involving collaborations, partnerships, or creative dreams, are being asked to solidify. If something’s been floating in limbo, this aspect could help tether it to reality.

This is the cosmic green light for making something last — or gracefully accepting what no longer fits into the long-term picture.

April 26th - Mars in Leo makes an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius

And here we are, folks — the grand finale of a cosmic triple header that's guaranteed to dominate the energy of the week. Mars and Pluto, two heavyweights of power and intensity, are facing off in a dramatic opposition that demands our full attention. This is spicy astrology.

These two planets have been circling each other since November 2024, slowly tightening their gaze. The last time they met was on January 3rd, and if you recall, the days leading up to it were anything but quiet — the New Orleans NYE attack and the Cybertruck explosion outside Trump Tower both served as loud manifestations of this volatile pairing. Expect similar shockwaves this time around — whether on the global stage or within your own life.

Mars in Leo wants to charge ahead with bold expression, personal power, and pride. Pluto in Aquarius, however, plays a longer game — one that challenges egos, exposes shadows, and forces profound, if not a little strange, collective transformation. This opposition can stir up confrontations, power struggles, or moments where raw will clashes with immovable forces.

If something explodes (figuratively or otherwise), don’t be surprised. But also know: beneath the drama lies an invitation to step into deeper authenticity, courage, and evolution. What battles have you been waging since November? What fears have demanded room at the table? How have you changed your approach to boldly break the shackles of self restraint?

April 27th - New Moon in Taurus Square Mars in Leo & Pluto in Aquarius

This week’s cosmic sundae of intense culminations gets its cherry-on-top moment with the New Moon in Taurus — though this isn’t your typical soothing lunar reset.

Entangled with the loud, reactive, and potentially uncomfortable power plays that Pluto is stirring up all week, this New Moon arrives in the midst of dynamic tension. Normally, the Taurus New Moon is one of the most grounding, comforting lunations of the year — a time to sink into stability, simplicity, and the sensual pleasures of life. But in 2025? Of course, it comes with a few asterisks.

By the time this lunation hits, we’re already deep in the throes of intense themes around change vs. conservation, personal will vs. collective force, and safety vs. transformation. While this is still a powerful moment to set intentions — to plant seeds of gratitude, peace, and emotional grounding — it’s happening under pressure. The square to both Mars and Pluto means the desires that arise now are not just about comfort… they’re about resilience. Fortified foundations. Sustainable strength.

This New Moon whispers (or maybe yells): it’s time to commit to the life you’re building — even if it means releasing old versions of security to make way for something more real.

The seeds you plant now may carry you well beyond spring — think six months out, at least, as the culmination of your efforts and tenacity will shine through during Fall's Full Moon in Taurus.

Use these to drop into your inner landscape and realign with what truly matters:

1. Where in my life am I craving more stability or simplicity?
   What would it actually look like to create that — not just in theory, but in practice?

2. What patterns or comforts am I holding onto that might be limiting my growth?
   Can I release them with love in order to create space for something more aligned?

3. Where am I being asked to dig deeper — to build something more solid, more authentic — even if it feels uncomfortable?

4. What does safety feel like in my body, my relationships, my work?
   How can I honor that feeling without clinging to the past?

5. What intention can I plant now that speaks not just to what I want in this moment, but to who I’m becoming six months from now?

Ready to anchor your truth through the storm?

This week’s astrology isn’t subtle — it’s a soul-level summons. With Pluto, Mars, and the New Moon all working their magic (and their pressure points), we’re standing at the edge of something real. The cosmos is calling for radical alignment, honest action, and a deeper commitment to the life you actually want to build.

But in the swirl of cosmic intensity, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s yours to hold… and what it’s time to release.

That’s where I come in.
