What a month March was! April 2025 picks up where the deep Pisces waters left off, with both Mercury and Venus going direct in the sign, followed by a rare Saturn-North Node conjunction at nearly the same degree.
Everything is happening between 25-27° of Pisces – forming a very tight stellium at the very end of the zodiac belt!
Something is brewing, shrouded in Piscean mist. But you can bet that beyond the haze, things are getting real. Saturn will make sure that whatever emerges is rooted in karmic truth.
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
April 3rd, 2025 – Mercury Conjunct North Node
On April 3rd, 2025, Mercury retrograde conjuncts the North Node at 27° Pisces.
Pay attention to any messages rising from the unconscious. Dreams, flashes of intuition, sudden memories – these are not random – they made their way to your consciousness for a reason. They carry an important message for you.
April 7th, 2025 – Mercury Goes Direct
On April 7th, 2025, Mercury goes direct at 26° Pisces. This station is SUPER interesting because Mercury is conjunct Venus, the North Node, AND Saturn! Talk about big revelations.
Mercury – now direct – has all the information it needs. The puzzle is coming together. There’s a new vision emerging from the fog – one that is grounded, purposeful, and aligned with your soul’s growth.
April 7th, 2025 – Venus Conjunct Saturn
But wait, there’s more to the Pisces saga. On April 7th, 2025, Venus is conjunct Saturn at 25° Pisces.
Venus is still retrograde – but she’s now ready to make soul-aligned vows. Venus now knows that in order to build a better tomorrow, she needs to make that commitment first.
The commitment comes first – not the other way around.
April 12th, 2025 – Sun Conjunct Chiron
On April 12th, 2025, the Sun is conjunct Chiron at 22° Aries. Sun conjunct Chiron is that time of the year when the Sun (our core consciousness) meets our inner teacher (Chiron).
Chiron’s role is to guide us toward the highest version of the Self – beyond ego, beyond the illusion of separation.
And the way Chiron works its magic is rarely comfortable. Our ego might get a bit bruised. Sun conjunct Chiron is a transit when old wounds of abandonment and insignificance resurface.
But if we dig deeper, we’ll find that these triggers hold the keys to healing and self-acceptance. And this newfound wholeness, in turn, will help us unlock our greatest potential.
April 12th, 2025 – Venus Goes Direct
On April 12th, 2025, Venus goes direct at 24° Pisces. What a heroine’s journey this has been!
Venus has taken us to the depths of the underworld (or more thematic for Pisces, the bottom of the ocean) to help us rediscover what really matters to us.
To see beyond false desires, beyond instant gratification, beyond what we think we want, and reconnect with what we really want. Now we know, and we’re ready to move to the next level (Venus conjunct Saturn).
April 12th, 2025 – Full Moon In Libra
On April 12th, 2025, we have a Full Moon at 23° Libra. The Full Moon is tightly opposite Chiron (at 23° Aries), square Mars (at 27° Cancer), and trine Jupiter (at 17° Gemini).
The Full Moon in Libra brings to light early wounds of abandonment (Chiron) and the walls and defense mechanisms we might have built as a form of self-protection (Mars in Cancer).
Perhaps in the process we’ve become the man or lady in the tower, guarding our hearts, sabotaging our relationships, rejecting others before they can reject us first.
But there is hope (Jupiter in Gemini). If we open up a little, if we show our vulnerabilities, we can create real connections.
April 16th, 2025 – Mercury Enters Aries
On April 16th, 2025, Mercury enters Aries.
This is not the usual bold, headstrong Mercury we typically associate with Aries. Why? Because soon after the ingress, Mercury conjuncts Neptune at 0° Aries.
Mercury still has that Aries drive and confidence, however this time it is animated by a higher inspiration; it doesn’t come across as blunt or impulsive, but visionary.
What’s very interesting about this ingress is that this is the second time Mercury meets Neptune.
The first time the 2 met was a few weeks ago, at 29°59’ Pisces – the very last degree of the zodiac – and now they meet again at 0° Aries, the very first degree of the zodiac.
Does this feel like divine orchestration? Surely is. After meeting to close a chapter, Mercury and Neptune now come together to start a new one. This is significant!
Pay attention to any inspirations, ideas, longings, or opportunities that come your way. This might be much bigger than you think – not necessarily right away, but down the line.
April 18th, 2025 – Mars Enters Leo
On April 18th, 2025, Mars leaves Cancer and enters Leo.
It feels like Mars has spent an eternity in Cancer, pushing us to confront our defense mechanisms – those subtle, sometimes insidious ways we protect ourselves when our sense of security is threatened.
We may have found ourselves retreating into our shells, lashing out, or – a Mars in Cancer classic – resorting to passive-aggressive tactics to manage the emotional ebb and flow of Cancer’s watery terrain, which – let’s be honest – isn’t always easy to navigate in a clear, direct way.
But now we’ve learned a thing or two about navigating our emotions – about honoring them in a way that feels authentic.
Now it’s time for a new Mars chapter. And Mars in Leo is a totally different one. In Leo, Mars is ready to roll!
Perhaps not right away – it still has to clear an intense opposition to Pluto over the next 10 days or so – but eventually Mars in Leo will bring us the energy, drive, and courage to help us pursue what matters.
April 19th, 2025 – Sun Enters Taurus
On April 19th, 2025, the Sun enters Taurus. Happy birthday to all the Tauruses out there!
Taurus season is that time of the year when we slow down and reconnect with the beauty of nature. In the Northern Hemisphere, the flowers are blooming and the earth feels alive again. In the Southern Hemisphere, the crisp air and changing leaves remind us to savor the richness of the present moment.
No matter where you are, this is a time to ground yourself and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.
April 21st, 2025 – Saturn Conjunct North Node
On April 21st, 2025, Saturn is conjunct the North Node at 26° Pisces.
This is the highlight transit of the month – and one of the most important of the year – for the simple reason that it happens rather rarely, about once a decade.
So when these 2 karmic forces meet, it’s quite a big deal. Even more so now, since the Saturn-North Node conjunction is also tied into the larger Pisces stellium – so this one will feel deeply personal and fated.
A dedicated report about the Saturn-North Node conjunction will follow closer to the date.
April 27th, 2025 – New Moon In Taurus
On April 27th, 2025, we have a New Moon at 7° Taurus.
This is an intense New Moon because it squares the Mars-Pluto opposition (3-4° Leo/Aquarius). This marks the culmination of the Mars-Pluto opposition transit – the peak of a series of 3 exact oppositions over the past months.
The New Moon signals a new beginning. The foundations of our life (Taurus) will be tested. The question is – are these foundations a real, authentic expression of who we truly are?
Because if not, then it’s time for change. And much better to do it willingly – because what needs to happen will happen regardless. As Jung famously said, “what is not made conscious will be experienced as fate.”
Something you’ve been resisting – perhaps because it felt safe, or because it was too uncomfortable to question – is now up for renewal. Chances are, given the prolonged Mars-Pluto tension in recent months, there’s at least a part of you that knows that something needs to change.
But this New Moon doesn’t have to feel like the Tower card in Tarot. We can use the tremendous force of Mars and Pluto to make the necessary changes deliberately. It will take courage – but on the other side is major relief and forward momentum.
P.S. If you think the astrology of April is intense… wait until May. That’s when Saturn joins Neptune in Aries, sealing the deal on a major energetic shift. A dedicated report will be released closer to that date.
