This week’s hot astral gossip is that Mercury is joining The Sun, Neptune, and Chiron in fiery Aries, while feisty Mars is blazing into Leo to add extra heat in the celestial kitchen… Here’s your weekly horoscope for 14–20 April, 2025.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
Enjoy the glorious finale of this year’s Aries season as Mercury joins The Sun, Chiron, and Neptune in your sign. Furthermore, your ruling planet, Mars, charges into the sign of passion and radiance, and switches on your personal fairy lights to showcase your unique shine and genuine nobility of spirit.
Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
With ringmaster Mars conducting this week like a global talent show, it would be easy to overstep boundaries without realising. The preventative? Let Venus in her most intuitive mode gently guide you through rapid developments which may require leaving parts of your former self behind.
Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
Your ruling planet Mercury strides into its most inventive, impetuous and enthusiastic mode. It could have you bubbling with effervescent ideas and witty repartee — but also be quick to make assumptions which may not be in your best interests. Remember you’re an air sign. So, take a breath before reacting this week.
Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
You’ve figured out by now that doing the same thing over and over only yields the same old results. This week, Mars is in a daring mood and encourages you to colour outside the lines and try some new tactics. If they don’t succeed, well, making mistakes is the fastest way to learn.
Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
Of the four elemental categories in astrology, fire is the one most strongly associated with creative inspiration. And when Mars flames into Leo on 19 April, your personal heat will be palpable. Take advantage of this two-month fire-stoking transit to get more difficult stuff done.
Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
This week’s Mercury expresses in plain vernacular that things aren’t necessarily what they seem and there’s usually more to the story, so stay tuned for more revelations, more developments. Meanwhile, it’s worth reconsidering, perhaps from a tough love point of view, certain beliefs which just aren’t helpful anymore
Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
This week, rambunctious Mars barges into live out loud, look at me mode, while Venus is at her most sensitive, subtle and intimate. Meshing these differing energies and making an art of their interplay is this week’s Libran balancing act. How? As always, let Venus take the lead.
Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
As Mars struts into his most dramatic placement, an emotion-intensifying Mars/Pluto face-off could bring leadership issues, dummy spits and/or showdowns. Finding common ground may be challenging with both planets in stubborn fixed signs, disinclined to compromise. Which makes your wisest strategy slowing down, saying little, observing a lot.
Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
This week’s planetary pattern looks like a provocative psychological battlefield in which it might be easy to snap and lose your cool. Sagittarians’ biggest challenge will be not reacting impulsively, no matter how tempting that may be, especially when the Moon ventures into your fiery sign later in the week.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
With Mars energising your zone of permanent bonds and shared resources for the coming couple of months, it’s worth clarifying any misunderstandings so you can keep moving ahead with ease. Longevity is always Capricorn’s goal, so treat each person and activity as carefully as you would any investment.
Aquarius, Jan 21–Feb 19
Changes that have been coming are now speeding up, and this week, a piece of information or insight could move the goalposts. As dancing on shifting sands becomes the choreography du jour, Mars sends a blast of charisma into your partnership department.
Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
Your mentor planet Neptune in the charged-up sign that inspires bold action is your positive signal for a new cycle of change. Fortified by the North Node in Pisces for 2025, this makes the invitation to pursue your life path impossible to resist, and gives you the determination to do it.
