April 2025 Astrology Transits

The astrology of April...

April is a month of deep reflection and renewal, featuring Venus stationing direct, a powerful Full Moon in Libra, and Mercury moving forward again, retracing it's steps back through the last degrees of Pisces and first degrees of Aries.

With significant planetary shifts and multiple conjunctions to the North Node, we are being called to align our values, relationships, and purpose with our soul’s greater path. After an intense March with eclipse season Let’s break down the key transits and what they mean for you (keep in mind, looking to the house these transits will occur in for you will give you an added layer of insight into what these transits might bring).

April 3: Venus Retrograde Conjunct North Node

• Theme: Revisiting fated connections.

• Insight: This aspect could bring back past-life relationships, unresolved romantic ties, or karmic lessons related to love, values or finances. Venus retrograde in Pisces aligned with the North Node asks us to reflect on what relationships and desires truly align with our soul’s growth.

• Suggestion: Pay attention to recurring themes in love, values or finances. What old patterns need to be released so you can move forward with greater clarity?

April 7: Venus Retrograde Conjunct Saturn

• Theme: Commitment, boundaries, and restructuring relationships.

• Insight: Venus meeting Saturn while retrograde emphasizes lessons in responsibility, discipline, and emotional maturity. It may highlight relationship challenges or financial restructuring that requires patience and perseverance.

• Suggestion: Use this transit to solidify long-term commitments and reassess your emotional boundaries. Avoid making impulsive decisions—clarity will come once Venus moves direct (especially once this transit comes around again!)

April 7: Mercury Direct in Pisces

• Theme: Clarity after confusion.

• Insight: Mercury finally moves forward, lifting the fog of uncertainty and allowing for clearer communication and decision-making. Intuition remains strong as any lingering doubts you have begin to fade away.
