Weekly Astrology for April 13-19, 2025
This is a week where the flames of passion seek to reach out of us and into our world. Mercury goes into Aries (fire), Mars goes into Leo (fire), and the Sun (fire) goes into Taurus. Music is calling us and inspiring us to dance with life from a new place of stability and in the flow with our own natural rhythm.
April 13th, the Moon moves into Scorpio
The Moon shifts out of Libra this morning and into the intense sign of Scorpio. We feel as if we are on a seesaw that just cannot seem to find that middle ground.
Middle ground will have to wait for another moment and the power that lies hidden in the sign of Scorpio will now passionately move forward to reveal even more. It is with courage that we face the revelations of the God of the Underworld. We are here to bear witness to that darker potential that is within every soul. Only by seeing the darkness can we honestly and with honor choose to embrace the light.
Pluto and Ceres will come into a minor square and many things can become agitated and irritating. Notice if you are doing things that actively push others away. Perhaps it is time to own that some endings are difficult and that we cannot live this life without experiencing various forms of rejection.
But it is in those moments that our true colors show themselves. When we are not getting what we want, do you revert to trying to manipulate others or are you willing to breathe and let people go without needing an apology or an acknowledgement?
Freedom always has a cost.
Freedom is the force that can ask everything of us. Most of all, it will ask us to give up things that we used to hold as precious and dear.
Today, the choice is to let go of what our ego demands that we deserve. And instead embrace the freedom to walk away without needing anything at all. That is true freedom. We are free when we choose our own autonomy over what our puny human self wants.
To take the high road … one is most often alone.
To claim freedom … one must release the desire to carry others with us.
To transcend this reality … we require ourselves to fully see the moment and do what is necessary rather than what is expected of us.
April 16th, Mercury goes into Aries and the Moon goes into Sagittarius
While we crave the sweetness and kindness to return. Mercury in Aries is not remotely interested in that. This is a week where fires rage and passions explode. Having rational thoughts in such an environment is going to be challenging. That much fire does have the ability to force us to focus and to look towards what gives us the courage to act.
Mercury likes to go where no man has gone before and with it being in Aries, the skies the limit. There is a boldness that can feel like a scream of “F*ck Y*u!” The edges are defined, and many will feel that sharp edge cutting into their skin. We are looking to what is trying to come alive right now in your life. To do that, it will require us to change. To change we have to decide to trust our own inner core and ignore or actively move against externals that are unfair, unjust, and do not reflect our values.
April 18th, Mars goes into Leo and the Moon will go into Capricorn
Mars likes to take actions. Mars will not be held back. Mars feels determined to make a point. And it being in Leo, that reminds us that we have the right to take up space and to be heard. We have the right to be loud and express displeasure. We have power within the demands to be respected and listened to.
Notice where you suddenly just don’t care anymore about what others think, and you are going to take the lead and do what you think is right regardless. Being authentic often goes against the established patterns that those in power want to cram down our throats. Americans have never been shy in expressing what they feel. We feel the power of others as they unite with us and show us what we need to drastically alter this dangerous trajectory.
April 19th, the Sun goes into Taurus
Whew! One element is shifting out of all the fire and into earth. Our bodies are going to demand some attention and TLC. It is time to find how to commune with the earth and allow her to heal us.
Taurus reminds us that we need to be gentle with ourselves and others. We are asked to find a rhythm that will be nourishing for who we are trying to become. We are reminded that simplicity is essential and that egos are loud and obnoxious … while truth is often maturing in the silences.
If you can take a break. It is perfect to do just that. We show love when we are consistent and devoted. That is how we build stable relationships. And it is our relationships that will allow us to grow and that support us when we are burned out and overwrought.
Look to what it is that you want to experience for the remainder of your life. Look to what supports you in feeling alive. Move at a pace that is good for your body, mind, and spirit. Do not allow those in that are draining of your energy and intend to take chunks of your soul.
By the end of this week, we are attempting to get back into what we need to do for ourselves. We move toward creative expression and ways that allow us to have the energy to explore the things that matter the most to us. This week, we explore a new tempo and texture. One that is going to give us the staying power and gives us a pace that we can maintain without becoming exhausted.
