APRIL 2025

RUNE OF THE MONTH:

“Berkana". (ᛒ), which symbolizes birth, growth, and new beginnings. It’s often linked to the energy of spring, nurturing, and the blossoming of life—perfect for April’s vibe of regeneration after winter. ~AndEl

Monday 4/7, Mercury turns direct at 26º50' Pisces. This degree is symbolized by: "The harvest Moon illumines a clear autumnal sky". Communications may still be wobbly today, but all will return to normal tomorrow.

Saturday 4/12, Venus turns direct at 24º37' Pisces. Its shadow period remains until May 16. This degree is associated in the Sabian Symbols to the following image: "A religious organization succeeds in overcoming the corrupting influence of perverted practices and materialized ideals." Ending a period of reassessment of our relationships, we are now clear on what makes us feel loved and who is who in our lives.

Tuesday 4/15, Mercury enters Aries till May 10. During the next 3 weeks, our mind is active, positive, impulsive, and optimistic. We jump on ideas with enthusiasm, are outspoken, inventive, go straight to the point, and grasp situations and opportunities quickly, albeit sometimes too quickly. We tend to be impatient and annoyed with delays, and don't suffer fools easily. Details seem boring. A big panoramic view is all we feel we need to make snap judgements and leap into action. When stimulation is lacking, we may start to feel restless. An amazing time for initiating new projects, moving forward actively with our goals, and asserting our special talents.

Thursday 4/17, Mars enters Leo till June 17. During the coming 2 months, our urge to succeed is magnified. Our sense of purpose, great organization, and leadership abilities are powerful driving forces. Quite competitive when it comes to endeavors that are important to us, we need to be careful to not become too brutal, frank, egotistical, domineering, even overbearing. Gambling is not advised. A love affair started during this transit is vital, ardent, and passionate.

Wednesday 4/30, Venus enters Aries till June 5. During the next 5 weeks, our heart is on our sleeve. We could fall in love at first sight, form impulsive ties, but not be the best at handling our relationships in the long run. Even though we are demonstrative, enthusiastic, passionate, sincere, energetic, and idealistic, we could also be competitive, and eager to take daring financial initiatives. But taking uncalculated risks, being too generous, or spending money more quickly than we can earn it, could lead to heavy losses.

Friday 4/4: Saturn Sextile Uranus, Mars Sextile Uranus, Mars Trine Saturn

An eventful, exciting day. We are hyper-active, positive, and assertive. Knowing exactly what we want and going after it with extraordinary willpower, courage, and energy, the pace of our life become frenetic. Unyielding, motivated by a desire to win, demonstrating an amazing foresight, we work hard, and accomplish our tasks with an originality that pays off. Keeping the best of the old, we implement new projects and do not give up until reaching the finish line. Any activity related to electronics, science or aviation is favored.

Sunday 4/6: Sun Sextile Jupiter, Venus Trine Mars

This is one of the best days of the year. Setbacks tend to dissolve. Our optimism, hopefulness, and leadership abilities are greatly enhanced. Our self-confidence is higher than usual. Opportunities for advancement abound. People are both supportive and helpful. Financial investments are beneficial, as are selling and buying. Our friendliness and relaxed attitude attract the approval and affection of others. Expressive and lively, we speak our truth without offending anyone while balancing our needs with those of others.

Monday 4/7: Venus Conjunct Saturn, Venus Sextile Uranus

Re-Venus conjunct Saturn, kindly refer to 4/24. Our personal relationships are likely to shift to a whole new level. Magnetic, independent, unconventional people could prove exciting, but unless we are willing to give each other a lot of space and freedom, and stay clear of any feeling of jealousy, control or possessiveness, might not be very long lasting. Our esthetic tastes tend to be more adventurous. An exciting professional association or business endeavor could bring an unexpected financial development. We could receive a gift or some kind of monetary benefit.

Tuesday 4/15: Mercury enters Aries 

Kindly refer to the paragraph below.

Wednesday 4/16: Mercury Conjunct Neptune

Kinder, more subtle, and dream-prone than usual, our imagination and psychic abilities are enhanced. We could have telepathic experiences. Our dreams tend to be prophetic. We are drawn to spiritual healing and mysticism. However, our rational thinking is not the best. We could miss some hidden clauses on documents, be unclear, confused, lack confidence, and avoiding confrontation, be misunderstood. An illness could be difficult to diagnose. Because the effects of medication, drugs or alcohol tend to be amplified, it is recommended to stay as sober as possible. A day best spent in a place where we can be protected from the harshness of the world.

Thursday 4/17: Mars enters Leo

Kindly refer to the paragraph below.

Saturday 4/19: the Sun enters Taurus until May 20th, Mars Trine Neptune

During the coming month, our willpower, determination, and endurance are strong. We are likely to be more practical, grounded, and persistent. Our outlook is pragmatic. We are reliable and maybe err on the more conservative side. Our ability to make money is enhanced. Our firm sense of values, patience, reliability, and trustworthiness help us achieve our goals steadily and with solidity. Today, more specifically, inspired to action by our dreams, we find within ourselves a wealth of spiritual resources. Deeply sensitive to our surroundings and keenly aware of other people’s needs, we want to selflessly help them. This day is therefore great for charities, social work, or getting involved in religious or spiritual groups. We are drawn to artistic people who share our ideals, and are eager to develop our healing abilities as well as our creative talents.

Sunday 4/20: Venus Sextile Uranus, Mercury Sextile Pluto, Sun Square Mars

Re-Venus sextile Uranus, kindly refer to 4/8. A day of profound insights. Looking for the truth beneath the surface, we examine, investigate, and scrutinize people and situations. What we learn today has the potential to change our lives for the better. Travel is favored, especially if it is to learn something that enriches and deepens our understanding of life. But let us be particularly careful while driving or operating sharp objects. Taking foolish risks is not a good idea as we could literally erupt if things are not going our way and turn into our own worst enemy. If we manage to use our decisiveness and capacity for action with courage and wisdom, we can literally fly through obstacles and accomplish a considerable amount of work.

Wednesday 4/23: Sun Square Pluto

We could find that situations are breaking down, forcing us to reevaluate things we thought were permanent. A great day to let go of patterns that no longer serve us. Ultimatums may not work to our advantage, and the end does not justify the means if it is not to everyone’s benefit. A great day to re-examine our motives, goals, and beliefs, and know that those areas of our lives that are working well will gain strength in the future.

Thursday 4/24: Venus Conjunct Saturn

Our general attitude towards love is more mature and serious than usual. This transit brings to the fore our emotional responsibilities and could make single people feel lonelier while testing an existing a relationship. A good day to put our finances in order and be more cautious and conservative in our spending habits.  

Saturday 4/26: Mars Opposition Pluto

The need to renovate, restore, and rebuild any area of our life that was not working well, is so intensified that this transit could mark the end of a cycle and the beginning of a completely new one. Our power is being tested. Staying true to our convictions, fighting injustice, and collaborating with others in ways that serves the highest good of all, is important. We should, however, be careful to not become too obstinate or ruthless or try to attain our goals through force as this would have unpleasant consequences. Best to avoid potentially manipulative, rebellious or passive-aggressive individuals. Let us beware of road rage and take extra care if handling sharp objects.

Wednesday 4/30: Venus enters Aries

Kindly refer to the paragraph below..

Wishing you a wonderful month of April!

In Loving Light.
