April 2025
Starting on April Fool’s Day and heading into tricky times, it won’t be the smoothest month of the year. The 4th and 5th have a Saturn, Uranus, Mars tangle which at best could suggest a – maybe – positive change with maximum effort. The Aries Sun until the 19th will fly ahead in high spirits with adventure in mind, buoyed up by chatty, enthusiastic Jupiter in Gemini.
It is after the 18th when the challenges will start to mount for ten days with first Mars moving into fixed, bombastic Leo and a day later the Sun shifts into earthy, stubborn Taurus, heading for a pressured and aggravated few days between the 21st and the end of the month. Pluto square the Sun on the 23rd and then Pluto opposition Mars on the 27th will make for global unrest, maybe fresh outbreaks of conflict. At a personal, individual level it will feel frustrating, stuck, trapped, maybe scary, and will require courage and perseverance to overcome obstacles.
