Astrodienst Newsletter April 2025
This is the monthly newsletter from Astrodienst with a short overview of the current quality of time and news from our website www.astro.com.
In April, the influence of Neptune in Aries on the zeitgeist will become apparent for the first time. The first weeks of the month are relatively relaxed and bring quick successes. However, the quality of time is still somewhat confusing and forces us to define our goals well. In mid-April, deadlocked situations start to flow again. However, high tension will prevail in the last third of the month, and there could be violent confrontations.
THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
On March 30, Neptune entered Aries. This ingress will fundamentally shape the quality of time in April. It may take some time for the new signs of the times to become more clearly visible. Over the next few months, you can review your goals and objectives to see if they are still relevant. The spirit of Neptune in Aries shows a return to individuality and self-realization, a willingness to experiment, and the courage to lead the way with a true pioneering spirit. The shadow side of this time can be a lack of direction and motivation.
Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and the lunar nodes form a stellium at the end of Pisces in the first days of the month. Mars in Cancer makes a trine to this, and Uranus in Taurus forms a sextile. On April 1, a Moon-Uranus conjunction activates this generally relaxed constellation. The trine of Mars and Saturn and the sextile with Uranus will be exact on April 5.
Some things could develop surprisingly quickly now. It is a good time to take a significant step forward in a matter you have already planned or begun. It is less suitable for starting new projects or defining new goals because it could be challenging to read the signs of the times clearly. Wait until the general confusion has died down a bit. On April 7, Mercury will turn direct again. Then, you will be in a better position to grasp what is happening.
Retrograde Venus in the Pisces stellium also plays a vital role during this time. On April 6, she trines Mars, conjoins Saturn on the 7th, and forms a sextile with Uranus on the 8th. In relationships, honesty and a good deal of tact are central now. Clarifying conversations may take a lot of time and require self-discipline. It is not about quickly changing something but exploring the situation and your own feelings. Dare to trust. It is a good time to seek silence and engage in spiritual pursuits.
On April 12, the Sun and Chiron conjoin in Aries, and Mercury in Pisces trines Mars. A day later, the Full Moon in Libra opposes the Sun-Chiron conjunction. At the same time, Venus ends her retrograde phase. She is still involved in the stellium of Mercury, Saturn, and the lunar nodes in the last degrees of Pisces. During this time, there is a noticeable impulse towards healing and integration. The quality of time brings new confidence and courage for a fresh start. Focus on the power of love. Deadlocked situations can now start to flow again.
The sign ingresses of Mercury, Mars, and the Sun shape the next few days. Mercury enters Aries on April 16, Mars enters Leo on the 18th, and the Sun enters Taurus on the 19th. In the days following their entry, they all form an aspect with Neptune in the first degree of Aries, which quietly speaks of "now or never". If you already know where you want to go, now is a good time to set out.
The quality of time changes significantly in the last third of the month. Tension is in the air, and you may expect confrontations. A T-square is forming between the Sun, Mars, and Pluto. It begins with the Sun squaring Mars on April 21, the Sun squaring Pluto on the 23rd, and Mars opposing Pluto on April 27, which coincides with the Taurus New Moon. On the 25th, Venus is exactly conjunct Saturn. On April 30, Venus leaves Pisces and enters Aries.
An explosive mood with a high potential for conflict characterizes these days. With Leo-Mars, Aquarius-Pluto, and Taurus-Sun, the issues are ownership, ideology, and heroism. Latent tensions could escalate quickly now because Pluto, in opposition to Mars, stands for determination but also the danger of violence and ruthlessness. Be vigilant during these days, and do not rush mindlessly into conflict situations unless you can bravely stand up for your cause.
To better understand the events of this time, we need to look at them in the mirror of what happened during the two Mars-Pluto oppositions at the beginning of November 2024 and January 2025. Now could be the time of the final showdown, when the unresolved question of power is finally settled. This time does not just need testosterone-driven fighters but also those who can present new and constructive visions for a future worth living for all.
THE PERSONAL QUALITY OF TIME
The powerful tensions and movements in the zodiac suggest that there will be a lot going on on the world stage. In our personal lives, however, other criteria apply. An interpretation of the individual quality of time always requires the context of the birth horoscope. Only in this way can you learn what is currently on the agenda in your life, be it in love, at work, or in your inner growth process.
With the ingress of Neptune into Aries, however, all signs of the zodiac receive a new impulse to reflect on themselves and take their destiny into their own hands again. The horoscope interpretations from Astrodienst do not tell you what you should do but enable you to get to know yourself better and find out for yourself what your life is about and where the journey might take you next.
You can find high-quality, personalized horoscope interpretations by Liz Greene and other authors in the Astro Shop and Free Horoscopes.
We are looking forward to your next visit to www.astro.com!
