The LAST QUARTER MOON occurs on Sunday, April 20th, 2025, at 9:35 PM EDT. 

On Sunday, April 20th, the Last Quarter Moon is exact, when the Sun in Taurus forms a square with the Moon in Aquarius.

The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a crisis of consciousness. After basking in the awareness symbolized by the full light of the Moon at the time of last week’s Full Moon, we disperse our knowledge and come to a point when we need to sort out what works for us–and what doesn’t–in preparation for next week’s New Moon, when something new is born once again.

This is not the best time to start a major project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes a descent into unconsciousness. It’s time to begin finishing up the details of that which was conceived at the last New Moon. What revelations did you have last week? What did they mean to you? What can be done now?

The Last Quarter Moon Chart:

This phase of the Moon occurs at 1 degree and 12 minutes of Aquarius square the Sun at the same degree of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 29 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

 

NEXT WEEK:  The New Moon occurs on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 3:31 PM EDT.

(Times are Eastern)

This week: The Sun is in Taurus; Mercury is in Aries; Venus is in Pisces; Mars is in Leo.

The Sun is in Taurus from April 19-May 20. In Taurus, the Sun is methodical, sensual, and receptive. The Sun in Taurus is most active when it is defending or resisting! As the Sun moves through Taurus when plants take root, our determination and security needs are strong. Taurus is loyal to all that is familiar and values longevity. The shadow side of Taurus is possessiveness and bullheadedness.

The Sun in Taurus is the connoisseur and sensualist. It’s patient, stubborn, earthy, stable, and rooted. The Sun-in-Taurus cycle is a good one for maintaining or building, as well as enjoying and appreciating what’s already in place. While the Taurus Sun is slow to warm up, it’s stable and persevering once it does. We value what’s long-term, strong, and lasting during this phase.

Mercury is in Aries from April 16-May 10. When Mercury is in Aries, we are less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations, and more concerned with reaching a decision…quickly! Our thoughts and ideas are pioneering, and we tend to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries.

There can be quick, possibly impatient or hurried, decisions during this cycle, and our responses are similar: quick and perhaps defensive or combative. We value independent thought, and we can be mentally competitive. executive decisions. We prefer to learn through personal experience, not instruction.

Venus is in Pisces from March 27-April 30. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.

Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us.

Money may slip through our fingers, or we could ignore or overlook some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission.

This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.

Mars is in Leo from April 18-June 17. In Leo, Mars is proud, self-confident, and grand. We are spirited and have grand goals. We go after what we want in a direct, self-assured manner, desiring dramatic results. We prefer not to worry about details, and take the least complicated route to our goals. The sex drive is strong, and passion for life is high.

Mars in Leo can awaken a competitive spirit or drive. We’re more willing to take risks to get what we want. We also tend to make a splash, and we want to be in the driver’s seat. This transit is passionate, ardent, and dramatic. We seek to appear strong and prefer to be in the lead or the center of attention. We can be particularly angry if we feel disrespected or in an undignified position.

Jupiter is in Gemini.

Jupiter began its transit of Gemini on May 24th, 2024, and continues its transit of the sign until June 9th, 2025. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Gemini.

Saturn transits Pisces from March 7th, 2023 until May 24th, 2025, and Sep 1st, 2025, to Feb 13th, 2026. Read about Saturn’s transit of Pisces. Saturn will enter Aries on May 24th, 2025.

Uranus is in Taurus.

Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.

There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.

Pluto is in Aquarius. Read about Pluto’s transit of Aquarius. Note that Pluto finally completed its journey through Capricorn on November 19th, 2024, from which time Pluto stays in Aquarius for many years to come.

Romance & Relationships

Venus is in Pisces from March 27 to April 30. Like Aquarius, Pisces love is universal. However, Pisces draws no bounds in love. With Venus in Pisces, we have compassion (and perhaps attraction) for those who are left out, overlooked, or victimized. We are self-sacrificing, and we have a hard time setting up borders. The walls go down, we have a hard time saying no (especially if our compassion is engaged), but we are also prone to avoiding all that makes us feel uncomfortable.

Wishful thinking is one expression of Venus in Pisces. We can too easily believe what we want to believe. People can be hard to pin down, and love is hard to define under this influence. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.

Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deluded, as well as evasiveness.

This week: On Sunday, the 20th, we’re especially open to making changes or venturing into new territory with our feelings, tastes, and pleasures. It’s a fine time to experiment and explore.

Wednesday and Thursday bring fateful connections and encounters. We’re gravitating to responsible people or interactions that help further our growth. We can be committing to someone or committing to being more mature in a relationship. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure for a cause or for a loved one; thus we may have to abstain from personal gratification for the time being. Problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet may surface now, and we are ready to face them. We’re polite and respectful with one another.

Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:

Venus in Pisces A martyr complex, a love for the underdog, a search for your soul mate: such are the experiences associated with the new cycle you’re now just beginning. A yen for soul-stirring romance, a weakness for the weak, and a tendency to idealize people and relationships … very aesthetic, very other-worldly.

Venus semi-sextile the Sun April 13-14. We may feel that our quest for pleasure, affection, love, or comfort is at odds with what we think we should be doing, which can lead to mild tension or feelings of guilt, and perhaps some indecision. Seeking to fulfill both of these needs without doing so at the expense of the other makes sense, but isn’t straightforward at this time.

Venus contra-parallel Mercury April 13-14 and April 18. We are voicing our feelings now, but we should be careful not to over-intellectualize our affections. We tend to analyze our feelings and relationships. Interactions bring up questions.

Venus sextile Uranus April 20. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit.

Venus conjunct North Node April 23-24. This is a time for reaching out to others and making connections that further our growth. Cooperation brings rewards. There could be a feeling that we’re lucky in love or in our social life now.

Venus conjunct Saturn April 24. Affections stabilize and mature. Relationships are stabilized and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly. An air of formality is brought to personal and social relationships. A new sense of realism in existing partnerships comes now. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure for a cause or for a loved one; thus we may have to abstain from personal gratification for the time being. Problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet may surface now, and we are ready to face them. Dissatisfaction with loved ones becomes more glaring. Renewed ties to old friends or lovers are possible, or a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships.

Venus parallel Mercury April 24-25. A congenial time when we appreciate diplomacy and socialize more readily.

Venus conjunct Neptune May 1-2. New and fresh beginnings on romantic levels characterize this transit. Heightened sensitivity to, and awareness of, beauty and spirituality. We are easily influenced, seducible and seductive, and given to strong powers of imagination. We are more attuned to the world of beauty and romance. Gentleness with others is the best way to harness this energy. A “magical” time on a romantic and social level, but it could also be a confusing or illusory influence as well. Psychic openness and compassion.

Venus sextile Pluto May 6. Subtly powerful and uplifting time for romantic/sexual relationships. New insights into relationships and love. Strong attractions.

April 2025:

Timing with the Moon – Better Periods this Week for Electing New Initiatives

It’s important to note that there are more factors to consider in addition to the windows listed below. The following windows are starting points. For example, you generally don’t want to elect a new venture when a very challenging aspect is applying, and it’s preferable to elect a time when a particularly positive aspect hasn’t yet perfected (is applying rather than separating).

The Moon is waning this week, which is generally considered unfavorable for new beginnings, although with exceptions. (See Best Time to Start a Business for more details).

According to principles of timing with the Moon, a window of opportunity occurs this week from approximately 8:10 AM EDT to 1:20 PM EDT on Sunday, April 20th, while the Moon is in Capricorn. Another window occurs from Friday, the 25th, at approximately 3:30 AM EDT, until Saturday, the 26th, at approximately 12:15 PM EDT, while the Moon is in Aries.

This Week’s Calendar

This Week’s Aspects

Venus sextile Uranus. This is a favorable influence for social meetings and events, and for situations that call for treating others with equality and respect. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. A good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as group activities. A taste for the offbeat is in order.

Mercury sextile Pluto. We possess more insight and psychological understanding than usual. We are willing to look beyond the surface of things and investigate further. Perhaps more importantly, we are more patient and strategic in our decision-making.

Sun square Mars. We have “spring fever” no matter what the season. Driven by a restless desire to do something, without a well-defined goal we tend towards impulsive actions and get ourselves into needless arguments. Our reactions tend to be defensive or competitive. We are not very willing to compromise or negotiate. We are more inclined to injury and accident. Energy output can run high if we choose to focus.

Sun square Pluto. Insubordination and abuse of power. Impatience with rules. Compulsiveness. The urge to get to the bottom of matters is with us, but we are too insistent. Avoid beating a dead horse and attempting to force matters that should naturally take time to unfold. Circumstances now can push us to discover our own power–power that comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. Events may occur now that highlight the need to trust.

Venus conjunct Saturn. Affections stabilize and mature. Relationships are stabilized and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly. An air of formality is brought to personal and social relationships. A new sense of realism in existing partnerships comes now. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure for a cause or for a loved one; or we may have to abstain from personal gratification for the time being. Financial discipline, realism, and maturity are possible now. We are more likely to be conservative when it comes to spending. Sound judgment may be exercised. Problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet may surface now, and we are ready to face them. Dissatisfaction with loved ones becomes more glaring. Support from older people or authority figures may come by way of solid advice or tangible help. Renewed ties to old friends are possible, or a new sense of responsibility in existing friendships.

Sun semi-square Jupiter. We may feel vague restlessness and discontent with life as it is. We want more, but perhaps too much. Overestimation, wastefulness, and exaggeration. Elevated moods, but unstable ones, as they may not be based on reality.

Mars opposition Pluto. Power struggles, “all or nothing” energy, the desire to force one’s agenda meets with opposition and resistance. Do what you can to avoid a contest of wills. The desire to get the upper hand is strong, but it’s unlikely to happen under this influence. It would be wise to observe whatever powerful feelings that confrontations or conflicts arouse under this influence, as this transit has a way of pulling out suppressed matter, or emotional “slush”. Passions run high, and so does sexual energy.

Note: Times given in the table/calendar above are Eastern Time (ET).

(as featured on the site’s main page and in our Daily Trends Calendar)

APRIL 20

Today’s Venus-Uranus sextile brings us out of our shells and encourages our bolder, more innovative natures, socially speaking. We are most interested in all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary concerning romantic involvements, entertainment or pleasures, and financial undertakings. We may be experimenting, improvising, and trying new ways of relating to others and expressing ourselves. We could discover alternative ways to make (or spend) money. Although somewhat detached, we’re freer with our feelings and find beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon.

Mercury’s sextile to Pluto improves our ability to see more layers of a situation and adds an edge to the day’s energies. We might discover further information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve avoided. It’s a powerful time to look more deeply into a topic. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making and are willing to look beyond the surface of things.

However, the day holds a powerful, chaotic Sun-Mars square influence, and we may have difficulty settling down. While our urge to take action and make things happen is intense, we may not know how to direct this excess energy. We feel the need for more challenges, enterprise, and initiative. Reactions tend to be defensive or competitive now, and we can be averse to negotiation or compromise. However, energy output can run high if we focus and exercise patience. This square occurs along with the Last Quarter Moon, as the Moon opposes Mars and the Sun squares it, and tempers can flare.

The Last Quarter Moon occurs as the Aquarius Moon is square to the Taurus Sun tonight, signaling a time for review and sorting rather than pushing for something new. Until the New Moon on the 27th, it’s a generally better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and most importantly, let go if necessary. This period is about understanding what does and doesn’t work for us, empowering us to take control of our lives. Ideally, we channel the quarter Moon’s crisis-oriented energy into productivity.

The Moon is void from 1:22 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 7:22 PM EDT.

APRIL 21

The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, and we are attracted to the unusual, extraordinary, and unconventional. Independence, equality, and freedom are vital to feeling emotionally satisfied with this position of the Moon. We embrace our ambitions today. With Saturn conjunct the True North Node, we’re taking a hard look at the quality of our emotional and social lives and how it’s working for or against us in the long run. This transit asks us to face and take on responsibilities, even if they feel weighty, in order to grow and improve. It can be a time of facing a responsibility that pushes us forward or working patiently to gain the respect of those who can help us reach our goals. Security can be a driving force. Behaving honorably and maturely and making and keeping our commitments can benefit us greatly at this time. The need to respect tradition or prevailing social norms, fads, and codes can figure strongly now.

APRIL 22

The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, bringing friendly, uplifting, objective, and intelligent energy to our lives. We tend to see all sides of a matter, and we can be more invested in our friendships, connections, and happiness goals today. This is a good time to put effort into progressive causes and projects or bring new, unique, and exciting elements to our work. We’re embracing our unique side or the unusual elements of our social lives. We can feel inspired to reach for our joy, seeking to grow, expand, and improve. The desire to connect and make others happy is strong. We find it easier to see the bigger picture. Today’s transits draw out our desire to heal and help.

The Moon is void from 5:56 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Wednesday, April 23rd, at 1:08 AM EDT.

APRIL 23

With the Sun and Pluto forming a square today, putting our trust in others (or in life/the process) can be difficult. This aspect, possibly through discord, helps us identify areas of over-attachment. We might clash with those in authority, or we’re frustrated as our sense of responsibility or fear of loss in our social lives conflicts with our personal plans or sense of security. We may act compulsively and find it difficult to let go and unwind. Positively, circumstances can push us to discover our own power — power that comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. It’s best to aim for self-control now. It’s important to avoid trying to force matters that should naturally take time to unfold. We should also watch for a bit of paranoia or suspicion that works against us. This aspect can bring fears and buried matter to the surface.

As the day advances, we approach a Venus-North Node alignment. Venus is also heading toward a conjunction with Saturn. We’re striving to break free from limitations or habits that keep us from connecting more heartfully with our loved ones and needs. It can also be a time when we meet people or experience things that help move us closer to our objectives.

The Moon is void today until it enters Pisces at 1:08 AM EDT.

APRIL 24

Venus forms a conjunction with the North Node early today and Saturn this evening, and we seek clarity. We’re more thoughtful about our attachments and affections. Regarding finances and relationships, we may need to limit a pleasure or indulgence or sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual one (or vice versa). Extravagances can catch up with us, and buckling down is necessary. Still, we might feel good about making a mature choice now. We may experience a new sense of realism in our relationships. It can also be a time for bonding more strongly with loved ones by sharing responsibility, concerns, or dilemmas. We might face reality about our finances, a personal belief, or a love/social matter. A commitment is possible now, or there can be a “test” to an existing commitment. We’re taking our interactions, pleasures, relationships, and money more seriously today, and we’re also especially concerned with harmonizing and cooperating. As the Moon aligns with the North Node, Saturn, and Venus tonight, our hearts are with our attachments and connections. Venus first aligned with Saturn in Pisces on January 18th and then again while retrograde on April 7th. We could be returning to reality checks and situations we encountered around these dates, but now with further insight or different feelings.

The Moon is void from 10:58 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Aries the next day, Friday, April 25th, at 3:25 AM EDT.

APRIL 25

The Sun-Jupiter semi-square early today suggests some overestimation of our energy or motivation levels. We want to grow, improve, and expand, and it may be necessary to push some boundaries now, but it’s best to do so gently. The Moon leaves Pisces and enters Aries at 3:25 AM EDT, and we’re assertive, direct, and straightforward. We want to start fresh and move on, and we have no interest in dwelling on the past. We can be excited about our personal plans. It’s a time to tune into our initiative and independence. However, this Moon can be impatient and hasty. While we’re more independent than usual with the Moon in Aries, it makes us feel good to help and support others. Today’s transits open us up to the possibility of alternative paths.

The Moon is void today until it enters Aries at 3:25 AM EDT.

APRIL 26

Mars opposite Pluto brings intense energy that tests our limits. This transit first formed in November and later occurred in early January while Mars was retrograde. This third and final perfection in the set can bring matters of trust to breaking or turning points. It can be a time of retaliations, confronting betrayals, struggles for control or power, and overcoming obstacles. With this transit in play, we should watch for succumbing to unhealthy impulses or wanting to get our way at all costs. Pushiness tends to meet with stubborn resistance now–there may be a contest of wills. There can be a feeling that external circumstances are undermining our personal power. However, as we deal with these issues, we may get in touch with our internal motivations. Outside forces can remind us of our need to take better charge of our lives, but shortcuts to gaining control will not work as we’d like.

This transit can bring a tricky or buried issue to a head, and there can be final word on a matter that first emerged in late October/early November. It would be wise to observe whatever powerful feelings that confrontations or conflicts stir under this influence, as a Mars-Pluto opposition has a way of pulling out suppressed matter or emotional “slush.” All in all, this frustrated energy may lead to a greater understanding if we play our cards right.

Today’s Aries Moon is a pioneering, action-oriented influence. With its harmony with Jupiter and alignment with Chiron, we find it natural to gravitate toward satisfying, healing activities. We’re asserting our needs more easily than usual today.

The Moon is void from 12:19 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Sunday, April 27th, at 3:18 AM EDT.

Moon Signs This Week:

When the Moon is in Capricorn

We become aware of the need for structure and planning ahead. We also instinctively are aware of the limitations of time. We are motivated by a desire for success. Achievement and manifestation are most important to us now. We are resourceful and don't want to waste time, energy, or resources. This can be a very sober influence--even a depressing one. However, it can also be a productive time when we look reality in the eye.

The Moon in Capricorn generally favors the following activities: Long-term activities that yield slow but steady results, practical undertakings, career issues, making a business plan, practical investments.

When the Moon is in Aquarius

Attraction to all that is new and unusual, and an instinctive need for improvement, characterize the Moon in Aquarius. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal, under this influence. This is a time that promotes social gatherings, dealing with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, and progressive changes. We are open to new methods of doing things and we have our eye on the future. It can be hard to stick to schedules now, as personal freedom is most important to us.

The Moon in Aquarius generally favors the following activities: Unusual or radical undertakings, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, joining a group.

When the Moon is in Pisces

 We may not want to face reality while the Moon is in dreamy, impressionable Pisces. It can be a wistful, sensitive, intuitive, and compassionate time. We are especially imaginative, and our intuition reigns under this influence. Boundaries and walls come down, as Pisces energy merges and blends. It's a time when details are overlooked and feelings defy description.

The Moon in Pisces generally favors the following activities: Imaginative undertakings, mystical or spiritual pursuits, inner development, music and drama, going on a retreat, activities involving water.

When the Moon is in Aries

We're motivated by a strong desire to start fresh. A gut instinct to begin something new is with us now, as well as the gumption to do so. Our pioneering impulses are strong, and we feel energetic, spontaneous, and enthusiastic. We may also be tactless and impulsive now. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.

People can be more self-motivated and also self-focused while the Moon is in Aries. It's a competitive rather than cooperative time. Accidents and tempers flaring are more likely than usual. This period is one of more personal courage.
