Overview for this Month: Capricorn (All)
April 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
With a continuing focus on home and family, dear Capricorn, April is often about boosting your personal life and domestic world. You’re paying special attention to your needs for nurture, safety, and familiarity. Still, there's an increasing interest in sharing, expressing yourself, and enjoying entertainment and hobbies. It's also a transitional month as retrogrades of the inner planets continue but end, moving some areas forward.
A lovely Saturn-Uranus transit forms this month, and it boosts your judgment for making long-term plans. A romance or creative endeavor can be both exciting and practical. While learning, studies, and communications projects consume a lot of your time now, you’re also paying more attention to your need for fun and spontaneity. Loosening your grip just a little on your projects or studies can help you gain perspective, and you’re likely to find more meaning in your pursuits as a result. It’s a time to find ways to channel and structure your creative ideas and to do something tangible with your talents.
April begins with Venus having just recently returned to your communications sector in retrograde motion. Venus will continue in this house until April 30th but will finish its retrograde on the 12th. As such, you can be focusing on bringing more harmony to your communications and daily affairs. You might concern yourself with understanding matters from the past, mainly related to your relationships and projects, and you may be returning to old conversations, ideas, or studies. Until the 12th, you may be thinking about, analyzing, or talking about old relationships and matters, perhaps feeling a little stuck in the past at times until you’ve done the processing work. In fact, you can learn a lot about what you want, who you love, and what you value during this retrograde, but important, significant decisions should probably wait until later.
After the 12th, it's about processing these new insights. Mercury's retrograde cycle follows a similar, although quicker, pattern. It ends its retrograde on the 7th and moves on on April 16th.
Venus’s direct turn on the 12th helps you come across as you intend, but it takes a bit of time to get back in gear. Keep your cool and take your time to make important decisions. The Full Moon on the same day can stir a realization about your work, true calling, business, career, reputation, or true feelings about the direction your life is taking. This lunation pushes the need to attend to business, career, or public matters. There may be pressing demands in your professional life and perhaps a bit of scrutiny. Still, whatever this Full Moon brings to your attention, you get the message that it’s time to restore some balance between your personal and professional lives. Aim to avoid impatience and instead focus on a plan for improvements.
On the 18th, Mars moves into your solar eighth house. On-the-surface heat in relationships can lessen but some deeper issues may emerge for special handling. This cycle, lasting until June 17th, turns the heat up on the more intricate elements of relating. It can mobilize a financial matter.
With Mars opposite your sign recently, and for many months, you haven’t always felt that you were in the driver’s seat in your life. Demands on you may have been heavier, and personal plans may have been on hold. Now that Mars moves into your intimacy sector and animates your private life, it can stir up passions and desires you may have ignored or buried. You don’t want to feel constrained or limited now, and there can be a stronger desire to take action on matters you’ve put aside. You may solve a mystery that has baffled you for some time.
The Sun moving into your solar fifth house on the 19th brings the areas this house of your solar chart rules to life, such as recreation, hobbies, children, romance, dating, pleasure, creative endeavors, creative self-expression, leisure time, and fulfillment through play. Opportunities emerge to make refinements, improve, enjoy, discover, and grow these life departments.
The New Moon on the 27th asks you to pay more attention to finding outlets for creative release and pleasure. It encourages you to find time to relax, create, and enjoy yourself as you do. It’s a time to turn over a new leaf, and events in your life can bring out your feelings, romantic inclinations, and creativity. You enjoy increased motivation or opportunity to pursue a personal interest.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
April 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 19th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From April 19th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde until April 12th:
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your third house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. You may withdraw from chit-chatting during this period, and this might alienate a few people, especially siblings and perhaps neighbors.
Conversely, you might find it hard to derive satisfaction from these people, or from learning situations in general. Communications may seem insincere. In fact, you may have a hard time getting your ideas across in a warm, genuine manner. You may be misreading body language as well.
For some, conversations about love or about past relationships can figure strongly, and much can be gained from these! However, cut this off it becomes too much.
Venus-ruled areas of your chart are also affected--career, as well as relationships with lovers and children.
After April 12th, these matters tend to clear, unclog, and move forward.
From April 30th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde until April 7th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
Occurring in your solar third and fourth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, phone calls, and family relations. Be as non- judgmental as you can with family members. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
From April 7th forward, information unclogs and delays lift.
From April 16th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 17th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From the 18th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
April 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

All month:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
April 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until April 9th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From April 9th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job.

From April 7th forward, information unclogs and delays lift.
This month:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
Overview Horoscope:
April 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
With a continuing focus on home and family, dear Capricorn, April is often about boosting your personal life and domestic world. You’re paying special attention to your needs for nurture, safety, and familiarity. Still, there's an increasing interest in sharing, expressing yourself, and enjoying entertainment and hobbies. It's also a transitional month as retrogrades of the inner planets continue but end, moving some areas forward.
A lovely Saturn-Uranus transit forms this month, and it boosts your judgment for making long-term plans. A romance or creative endeavor can be both exciting and practical. While learning, studies, and communications projects consume a lot of your time now, you’re also paying more attention to your need for fun and spontaneity. Loosening your grip just a little on your projects or studies can help you gain perspective, and you’re likely to find more meaning in your pursuits as a result. It’s a time to find ways to channel and structure your creative ideas and to do something tangible with your talents.
April begins with Venus having just recently returned to your communications sector in retrograde motion. Venus will continue in this house until April 30th but will finish its retrograde on the 12th. As such, you can be focusing on bringing more harmony to your communications and daily affairs. You might concern yourself with understanding matters from the past, mainly related to your relationships and projects, and you may be returning to old conversations, ideas, or studies. Until the 12th, you may be thinking about, analyzing, or talking about old relationships and matters, perhaps feeling a little stuck in the past at times until you’ve done the processing work. In fact, you can learn a lot about what you want, who you love, and what you value during this retrograde, but important, significant decisions should probably wait until later.
After the 12th, it's about processing these new insights. Mercury's retrograde cycle follows a similar, although quicker, pattern. It ends its retrograde on the 7th and moves on on April 16th.
Venus’s direct turn on the 12th helps you come across as you intend, but it takes a bit of time to get back in gear. Keep your cool and take your time to make important decisions. The Full Moon on the same day can stir a realization about your work, true calling, business, career, reputation, or true feelings about the direction your life is taking. This lunation pushes the need to attend to business, career, or public matters. There may be pressing demands in your professional life and perhaps a bit of scrutiny. Still, whatever this Full Moon brings to your attention, you get the message that it’s time to restore some balance between your personal and professional lives. Aim to avoid impatience and instead focus on a plan for improvements.
On the 18th, Mars moves into your solar eighth house. On-the-surface heat in relationships can lessen but some deeper issues may emerge for special handling. This cycle, lasting until June 17th, turns the heat up on the more intricate elements of relating. It can mobilize a financial matter.
With Mars opposite your sign recently, and for many months, you haven’t always felt that you were in the driver’s seat in your life. Demands on you may have been heavier, and personal plans may have been on hold. Now that Mars moves into your intimacy sector and animates your private life, it can stir up passions and desires you may have ignored or buried. You don’t want to feel constrained or limited now, and there can be a stronger desire to take action on matters you’ve put aside. You may solve a mystery that has baffled you for some time.
The Sun moving into your solar fifth house on the 19th brings the areas this house of your solar chart rules to life, such as recreation, hobbies, children, romance, dating, pleasure, creative endeavors, creative self-expression, leisure time, and fulfillment through play. Opportunities emerge to make refinements, improve, enjoy, discover, and grow these life departments.
The New Moon on the 27th asks you to pay more attention to finding outlets for creative release and pleasure. It encourages you to find time to relax, create, and enjoy yourself as you do. It’s a time to turn over a new leaf, and events in your life can bring out your feelings, romantic inclinations, and creativity. You enjoy increased motivation or opportunity to pursue a personal interest.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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 decan regardless of your birthdate.
