Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
April 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
Even with some retrograde activity this month, dear Aries, it's a time of a personal new beginning. The Sun travels in your sign until the 19th, and you’re in the spotlight. It's a time of more visibility and special attention to your personal plans, needs, hopes, and wishes.
Until the 12th, while Venus continues its retrograde, you can be focused on past relationships rather than pushing forward socially. There can be many second thoughts and some back-spinning occurring now. This doesn’t take away from your personal attractiveness and, in some cases, may add to it as you seem a little mysterious or hard to reach! It simply suggests that you may not know what you want.
Venus turns direct on the 12th but remains in the sign just behind yours until April 30th, suggesting some natural cautiousness and reticence in the love or affection department. Things will push forward once Venus re-enters your sign, but until then, you’re processing and digesting recent experiences, and you’re not quite ready to make big decisions.
Mercury is following a similar path, although Mercury moves more quickly than Venus: Mercury turns direct on the 7th and enters Aries on the 16th. As such, on a communications and mindset level, you're coming into your own and catching up mentally sooner than you are on a heart level.
You’re in good shape for clearing out problem areas, even long-standing ones, through benefits to money matters, business, and personal things (material goods). It’s a time for practical yet innovative ways to improve your current financial state or confidence in your talents and self-worth. Meeting with someone or special information that helps you along can figure strongly as Saturn and Uranus harmonize.
Just after mid-month features some interesting shifts. By this time, Mercury and Venus have ended their retrogrades. Mercury moves into Aries on the 16th, and Mars moves into harmony with your sign on the 18th after a long hiatus. These put you in a better position to know what (and who) you want, but it’s also a good time to figure out how to get these things! Venus entering Aries on the 30th can help this theme along further.
Self-assertion is easy and natural from the 18th forward. Your romantic or creative life can heat up, although there can be some impatience in these areas. You’re seeking playful ways of expressing yourself. Slowly but surely, life feels a little more straightforward in love, pleasure, and comfort.
You’re more noticeable, connected, and engaged this month, and your personal impact is considerable. Especially with Mercury’s move into your sign on the 16th, you have more to say and share with others. When pursuing what and who you want, you’re direct, straightforward, and more confident than ever. You’re in an excellent position for decisiveness and credibility–you’re making a mark and leaving an impression. You might prefer to take the lead in mental tasks and make executive decisions.
The Full Moon in your partnership sector on the 12th prompts discoveries or epiphanies about your feelings or about a close relationship. If feelings of discontent magnify, they help motivate you to make improvements. Partnerships are changing, and this is a time when your needs for others become more apparent.
As the month advances, it becomes more and more about building your resources, manifesting results, and profiting from your talents rather than building your popularity and developing your personality.
Around the New Moon on the 27th, aim to start fresh with your money and business goals. The Sun begins its month-long transit of your resources sector on the 19th, and in the weeks following, you’re seeking a little more security and predictability than usual. It’s a good time to take stock, attend to your valuables, and better understand what you can accomplish. Your view of your capabilities is marked and realistic during this stabilizing cycle.
Pressures on the home front ease considerably from the 18th. Mars moves into your solar fifth house, ramping up your desires and animating your romantic life or creative world, and it’s a wonderful boost. This shift has been a long time coming! You’re confident and assertive and even more attractive than usual. Relationships are passionate now. You’re alert, ready to make changes, and willing to put yourself out there, and this is a winning combination. You can feel on fire with passion and creative energy, and your timing is much better than usual.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
April 2025 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 19th:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From April 19th forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde until April 12th:
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar twelfth house of all that lies beneath the surface of things. People from the past may resurface--physically or they might simply come to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now.
What you want from love--your desires--are very ambiguous and obscure during this cycle. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don't do it at the expense of your present.
As well, Venus rules your partnership and income sectors, and both of these things may come up for review during this retrograde cycle.
After April 12th, these matters tend to clear, unclog, and move forward.
From April 30th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde until April 7th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar twelfth and first houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language and intuition. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From April 7th forward, information unclogs and delays lift.
From April 16th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 17th:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
From the 18th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10)
AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
April 2025 Aries Career, & General Trends
April 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde until April 12th:
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar twelfth house of all that lies beneath the surface of things. People from the past may resurface--physically or they might simply come to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now.

After April 12th, these matters tend to clear, unclog, and move forward.
All month:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde until April 7th:

From April 26th forward:

AND Aries Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
April 2025 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From April 9th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence.

From April 7th forward, information unclogs and delays lift.
This month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home.

Things will push forward once Venus re-enters your sign, but until then, you’re processing and digesting recent experiences, and you’re not quite ready to make big decisions.
Mercury is following a similar path, although Mercury moves more quickly than Venus: Mercury turns direct on the 7th and enters Aries on the 16th. As such, on a communications and mindset level, you're coming into your own and catching up mentally sooner than you are on a heart level.
You’re in good shape for clearing out problem areas, even long-standing ones, through benefits to money matters, business, and personal things (material goods). It’s a time for practical yet innovative ways to improve your current financial state or confidence in your talents and self-worth. Meeting with someone or special information that helps you along can figure strongly as Saturn and Uranus harmonize.
Just after mid-month features some interesting shifts. By this time, Mercury and Venus have ended their retrogrades. Mercury moves into Aries on the 16th, and Mars moves into harmony with your sign on the 18th after a long hiatus. These put you in a better position to know what (and who) you want, but it’s also a good time to figure out how to get these things! Venus entering Aries on the 30th can help this theme along further.
Self-assertion is easy and natural from the 18th forward. Your romantic or creative life can heat up, although there can be some impatience in these areas. You’re seeking playful ways of expressing yourself. Slowly but surely, life feels a little more straightforward in love, pleasure, and comfort.
You’re more noticeable, connected, and engaged this month, and your personal impact is considerable. Especially with Mercury’s move into your sign on the 16th, you have more to say and share with others. When pursuing what and who you want, you’re direct, straightforward, and more confident than ever. You’re in an excellent position for decisiveness and credibility–you’re making a mark and leaving an impression. You might prefer to take the lead in mental tasks and make executive decisions.
The Full Moon in your partnership sector on the 12th prompts discoveries or epiphanies about your feelings or about a close relationship. If feelings of discontent magnify, they help motivate you to make improvements. Partnerships are changing, and this is a time when your needs for others become more apparent.
As the month advances, it becomes more and more about building your resources, manifesting results, and profiting from your talents rather than building your popularity and developing your personality.
Around the New Moon on the 27th, aim to start fresh with your money and business goals. The Sun begins its month-long transit of your resources sector on the 19th, and in the weeks following, you’re seeking a little more security and predictability than usual. It’s a good time to take stock, attend to your valuables, and better understand what you can accomplish. Your view of your capabilities is marked and realistic during this stabilizing cycle.
Pressures on the home front ease considerably from the 18th. Mars moves into your solar fifth house, ramping up your desires and animating your romantic life or creative world, and it’s a wonderful boost. This shift has been a long time coming! You’re confident and assertive and even more attractive than usual. Relationships are passionate now. You’re alert, ready to make changes, and willing to put yourself out there, and this is a winning combination. You can feel on fire with passion and creative energy, and your timing is much better than usual.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the fifth house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
