Weekly Forecast for April 14 - 20, 2025

Note:  the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.  

Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours in advance of the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).  They will be gaining in strength as they approach the date.  We will also feel them for 24-48 hours after, but they will be losing strength with each passing hour. 

****

Finally! All the planets are direct again!   Use the period between now and mid-July to launch new projects and follow your dreams. (Sit out the Balsamic Moon and Moon Void of Course, however.  I mention these timeframes, when applicable, in all of my weekly posts).

Mercury and Mars both move into Fire signs this week: Mercury moves into Aries, and Mars FINALLY moves out of Cancer and enters fiery Leo.  This adds to the buoyant energy of this week. 

Well... just one thing.  Mercury forms an extended conjunction with Neptune this entire week.  Normally it's a quick aspect, lasting for a couple of days, but because Mercury is freshly out of retrograde and is still moving slowly, we'll feel the energy for an extended period of time.  It's great for creative writing or spirituality blogs, as it's easier to channel the messages from the Divine this week.  But (OK don't hate me, considering we've just left Mercury Retrograde behind), this aspect can also cloud your thinking and make your judgement less solid. 

As far as romantic matters, Tuesday is a big highlight! 

Whether or not you're celebrating Easter, Sunday is a good day to get together with extended family and friends.  It's an energy-packed day, full of spirited vibes. Just be aware that the Sun will be butting heads with Mars is fiery Leo, as of Saturday, so small annoyances can quickly grow into disagreements.  Stay calm. 

Here are some notable astro-happenings of this week:

✨  April 15:  Grand Trine in Water Signs

The Moon in Scorpio forms a beautiful Grand Trine in Water, with Venus, Mars, Saturn and Mercury! The energies are great for relationship matters, or for anything that requires determination.

If you're planning to "end something for good", such as a bad habit (or a bad relationship), the waning Moon in Scorpio - like we have on April 15 - will strengthen your resolve.  

✨  April 16:  Mercury Re-Enters Aries; Mercury conjunct Neptune

Mercury, now direct, is back in Aries.  Be assertive (but not aggressive) when communicating your needs.  Stand up for yourself.  But, watch out for rash communication.  Get all your facts first.

Mercury will stay in Aries until May 10.

The energy of the Mercury-Neptune conjunction peaks today, but we will feel it this entire week. If you're a creative writer, write! Everyone else, be crystal-clear what you mean.  There is an increased chance of miscommunication.

✨  April 18:  Mars Enters Leo

Mars has had it with Cancer!  The Red Planet was transiting the sign of home and family since early January, but now, it roars as it moves into Leo.  Use the upcoming two months to socialize and explore new horizons. 

✨  April 19:  The Sun enters Taurus; Mars trine Neptune

Happy Birthday to my Taurus readers!  

Taurus is one of the most powerful manifestation energies of the Zodiac, bringing results through steady (even if slow)growth, patience, and connecting with Mother Earth.  When the Sun is in Taurus, it's time to focus on and appreciate nature, steady growth and strength, physicality and everything that pleases the senses. And it's also a great time of the year to review your relationship with your finances. 

✨  April 20:  Venus sextile Uranus; Mercury sextile Pluto; the Sun square Mars.

What can I tell you! It's an action-packed day in the skies!

A lot of work can be accomplished, but minor annoyances can easily turn into major irritation and fights.  If planning to have an important yet contentious conversation with someone, save it until early May if you can. 

On the plus side, it's a good day to add some zest and adventure into your relationship, and to get together with extended family and friends..

What If I Told You That You Had....

.....a powerful tool available to you every single month, that could help you bring what you desire into your life? And that it's super easy to work with it, once you know how?

This technique, that works so well for many people, is the power of working with the Lunar Cycle. And yet sometimes it feels like a well-kept secret!
