April 2025 First Week Forecast
We’re almost out of the dog house from these introspective times with Venus and Mercury in retrograde. This is the last bit of Venus in retrograde before it begins it’s shadow period on 4/12 when it stations direct. We’re almost there! Hope you’re learning some lessons about self-love and patience.
🌿 April 3: Venus Retrograde Conjunct the North Node in Pisces (26°)
Fated moments in love, creativity, and finances—but this is a time for reflection, not action. Venus in retrograde urges us to revisit past connections and values, questioning what still holds meaning. Pay attention to synchronicities and effortless alignments; they may hint at what’s truly meant for you moving forward.
⚡ April 4: Mars in Cancer Sextile Uranus in Taurus (24°) & Saturn in Pisces Sextile Uranus in Taurus (24°)
Breakthroughs come in unexpected yet welcome ways. Mars and Uranus ignite movement where things once felt stuck, while Saturn and Uranus—usually at odds—work together to blend structure with innovation. This rare harmony makes it possible to build something new without the usual friction.
🏗️ April 5: Mars in Cancer Trine Saturn in Pisces (24°)
Patience meets perseverance. Mars fuels action, but Saturn favors discipline, creating a steady and strategic path forward. Success now isn’t about speed—it’s about consistency. If you’re committing to something long-term, this is a solid foundation.
🌊 April 6: Venus Retrograde in Pisces Trine Mars in Cancer (26°) & Sun in Aries Sextile Jupiter in Gemini
A day of flow and expansion, though past relationship or creative themes may resurface. Venus and Mars enhance attraction and action, but with Venus still retrograde, old desires may demand reevaluation. Meanwhile, the Sun’s sextile to Jupiter boosts confidence and big-picture thinking—momentum is building, even if the pieces haven’t fully fallen into place.
💡 April 7: Venus Retrograde Conjunct Saturn in Pisces (25°) & Mercury Stations Direct (26° Pisces)
A reality check in love and money. Venus meeting Saturn brings clarity about what (and who) is truly worth your time, though with Venus still retrograde, this is an internal shift rather than an external decision. If something feels misaligned, this could be a moment of reckoning. On the bright side, Mercury finally stations direct, clearing mental fog and bringing long-awaited answers.
