This Week in the Stars


Quick Daily Guide
April 22 to 29, 2025

Planetary and lunar movements are calculated from midnight to midnight, EDT.

What does it mean when I say the moon is v/c? After the moon makes its last aspect from one sign, it’s void-of-course (v/c) until it enters the next sign. During this time, you may find yourself on a winding road. More things are hung up or postponed, and often finally resolve themselves when the moon enters its new sign.

Tuesday, April 22

Moon 15° to 29° Aquarius – the moon is v/c after 5:55 pm EDT

There’s a lot of activity, with the sun/Mars square still strong. Accidents and conflicts are still possible, so tread lightly. Relationships carry extra responsibilities, with Venus and Saturn still close together. But since they sextile Uranus, there is also the potential for creative growth and new understanding.

Wednesday, April 23

Moon 29° Aquarius to 13° Pisces – the moon is v/c until 1:06 am EDT

Power struggles could emerge, and hidden tensions could cause some stress, with the sun square Pluto and forming a T-square with Mars. Be measured with the force you use, in every situation. Relationships continue to be a bit heavy, but there could still be some exciting new beginnings slowly emerging, with Venus conjunct Saturn and sextile Uranus.  

Thursday, April 24

Moon 13° to 27° Pisces – the moon is v/c after 10:57 pm EDT

This is an intense day. That fixed T-square is still active, with the sun/Pluto square particularly strong. Don’t try to control everything, but rather be judicious as you think about how to effectively use your power and influence. Venus, Saturn and the north node are all conjunct, so there’s an element of destiny, especially when it comes to relationships.

Friday, April 25

Moon 27° Pisces to 12° Aries – the moon is v/c until 3:23 am EDT   

Things continue to be rather tense, with the Mars/Pluto opposition. There could be people who are angry at each other, perhaps for reasons that are buried in time. Make sure to check your own deeper assumptions and beliefs. With the Venus/Saturn conjunction still strong, you may owe a karmic debt to someone.

Saturday, April 26

Moon 12° to 27° Aries – the moon is v/c after 12:17 pm EDT

It’s still tense, and there could be a confrontation, with Mars exactly opposing Pluto today. It’s worthwhile to take your ego out of the picture, and consider whether you’re using your energy in the most effective way. Are you pushing against something that won’t budge? Can you work around it?  

Sunday, April 27

Moon 27° Aries to 13° Taurus – the moon is v/c until 3:16 am EDT  

There’s a very intense new moon today, with the sun and moon taking the catalyst position in a fixed T-square with Mars and Pluto. This spells some kind of dramatic change in the next lunar cycle. If you’re involved in any kind of stand-off with anyone, investigate possible compromises. This is one of those situations in which pride can be quite destructive.

Monday, April 28

Moon 13° to 28° Taurus   

Continue to act with care, as the Mars/Pluto opposition is still strong. Be aware of the power you have, and the situations in which stronger forces prevail. If you’re feeling anger or resentment, take some time to dig into their root causes.

Tuesday, April 29

Moon 28° Taurus to 13° Gemini – the moon is v/c from 1:17 am to 2:34 am EDT  

At last, the iron grip of that Mars/Pluto opposition is starting to loosen, and Venus is moving away from Saturn. You can let go of some of the tension you’ve been carrying around this week, and find ways to relax and enjoy life.
