This spring is unique from an astrological perspective, indeed historic and fateful, as many important cosmic influences come together.
Thus, the tension arc steadily increases in April, with a peak in the second half of the month.
Influential is the encounter of Saturn and the Moon’s Node in Pisces. Both stand for karma, destiny, and life’s purpose. This encounter in Pisces will not repeat until 2054/55.
On April 16, their meeting becomes exact to the degree.
The karmic lessons are: confrontation with old patterns and turning towards compassion, universal love, and trust!
This theme is reflected, among other things, in the back-and-forth movement of most planets between the signs of Pisces and Aries.
The constellations repeatedly activate 0 degrees Aries, also called the cosmic gap – the most important point in the zodiac, as it stands for the primal force of birth.
Pisces and Aries could not be more different. While the sensitive Pisces sign, as the last sign in the zodiac, remembers, emotionally processes, internalizes, and lets go, the dynamic Aries energy represents none of this. The energy of Aries works in direct action, in assertion and creation.
It’s like birth: We don’t remember past lives – only the “here and now” counts. Subconsciously, also in our dreams, the past shapes us and we always carry it within us.
With one foot we still stand in the past, while simultaneously experiencing the birth of the new. April therefore offers a strange energy.
Striking and historic is also Neptune’s entry into Aries on March 30, 2025, for the next 14 years. This marks the beginning of a new cycle through the zodiac, which lasts about 165 years. Saturn joins on May 26. This combination at 0-1 degrees Aries occurs approximately every 12,000 years! (More on this in the May preview).
Look in your horoscope to see in which houses and thus in which areas of your life Neptune and Saturn are active.
A new dynamic is emerging here, opening up new horizons for you.
Furthermore, from the second half of April onwards, the opposition between Mars and Pluto creates high tension.
This is already clearly evident at the Full Moon on April 13. The exact opposition takes place on April 26 and 27.
It is important to use this intense energy consciously and constructively to effect positive changes. The encounter of Mars and Pluto offers the chance for profound personal and societal changes. However, suppressed energies and impulses can come to the surface.
Transformation and realignment:
Possible effects when suppressed issues come to light
The order is chaos
It is chaos itself that urges towards TRUST, gliding on its waves of unpredictability.
Complex systems can react sensitively to the smallest changes. This phenomenon, also known as the “butterfly effect”, can be particularly well observed in world politics.
We should use the increasing disorientation as an invitation to practice trust and establish inner strength. The Pisces sign supports us in this process. It’s about processing, forgiving, letting go – into ever deeper layers.
April chronologically:
During the first 20 days of the month, you can decisively and actively push forward changes. Mars, the activist, and Saturn, the realist, help you vigorously with this. You can benefit from past achievements, develop them further and steer them into new, promising paths, be it professionally or privately.
If possible, postpone important decisions until after April 14. From April 8, Mercury, the planet of communication and trade, runs direct again, and from April 14, Venus, the goddess of money and love, also resumes her usual course. If you still want to sign contracts or make important decisions before then, pay particular attention to the details. It’s quite possible that corrections will be necessary afterwards.
From April 4 to 28, love wants to reinvent itself, which stirs up relationships. Venus needs freedom as well as commitment. Relationships can experience new depths with a sense of togetherness.
If a stable basis is lacking, the encounter between Venus and Saturn can also manifest as separation.
In new encounters, fateful elements can appear – as if you had always known each other.
From April 16 to 18, Mercury, the planet of trade, thinking, and communication, runs into Aries and comes to stand on Neptune, exactly on the cosmic gap.
The world has more to offer than we thought. Boundaries of our imagination are broken, allowing new possibilities and ideas to emerge.
New perspectives appear, and it’s worth exchanging ideas about them. This can lead to joint projects.
The highly sensitive frequencies accompany you on your outer and inner journeys into foreign worlds and unknown dimensions – follow your visions.
On the other hand, there is a tendency to be unfocused, confused, and not on task.
These days are not particularly suitable for precise work, demanding activities, and fulfilling a full schedule.
Rather, you probably have the need for art, music, spending time in nature, and a self-determined daily routine – you simply want to be in the flow.
From April 7 to 22, your visions get tailwind. You can rely on your instincts, which may prompt you to become active in order to get closer to your dreams and give them concrete form.
Humanitarian, social, meditative, and spiritual activities benefit from the energies.
At the Full Moon on April 13, relationships and values are in focus. It is a highly vulnerable and at the same time healing Full Moon.
It is an ideal time to resolve conflicts diplomatically and find compromises. We seek balance and harmony in relationships and align ourselves accordingly.
Especially in view of the impending radically uncompromising Mars – Pluto opposition, efforts for accommodation around this Full Moon are particularly important.
Pay attention to a balanced lifestyle – give special attention to your contentment as well as your relationships.
On April 16 and 17, the exact conjunction of Saturn on the Moon’s Node in Pisces takes place. It has been active since November 2024 and will continue to be so until February 2026.
The energy activates the integration of trust and surrender to higher levels, the letting go of control.
Outdated systems dissolve to make room for new, spiritually oriented approaches – for example in the areas of meditation or holistic education and healing.
Those who wish can perform healing rituals on these days. Strengthen your intuition, trust in connectedness!
Healing takes place through your power of imagination and visualization. Your brain doesn’t distinguish whether you’re imagining something or actually experiencing it.
That’s why hypnotherapy works so wonderfully. Be it to heal or to be able to focus on goals more clearly.
The tension steadily increases from April 19. Responsible for this is the Mars – Pluto opposition. They stand exactly opposite each other on April 26 and 27. This challenging aspect is effective until the end of April. Stay in peace and avoid conflicts.
Globally and privately, greater tensions are to be expected. Go consciously into RE-laxation daily, through conscious breathing, spending time in free nature, sports, etc.
This energy has the power of active transformation in every respect. The assertive forces are radical and reluctantly allow compromises.
For the good, you can grow beyond yourself in the second half of April and accomplish great achievements. The energies also urge you to make important decisions.
This figure takes place on the first degrees of Leo and Aquarius. Therefore, those born in Leo and Aquarius, but also Taurus and Scorpio, or those with the Ascendant or other important points on the first degrees of these signs are particularly affected.
Be mindful and cautious, especially in road traffic!
The Super New Moon on April 27 in Taurus is the strongest New Moon of the year, as it comes closest to Earth.
The New Moon invites you to align your soul with abundance.
Today, consciously focus your thoughts and feelings on how you want your life to feel.
This New Moon in Taurus promises a time of stability, growth, and the possibility of laying new foundations. It is a favorable phase to focus on material security, personal values, and long-term goals.
What you plan now has the best long-term possibilities to grow steadily and constantly.
Please remember, especially during this New Moon, to thank Mother Earth for her abundance!
