Cosmic Insights – April 14, 2025, April 13, 2025

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of April 14, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in energetic Aries, illuminating an opportunity to choose between doing what is desired or going with what is socially determined to be correct.  The caveat is that Aries is prone to doing what they want instead of what others expect.  

Mars, the planetary warrior of Aries, is finishing up a lengthy visit in emotionally vulnerable Cancer and is done with pressure cooker energy relative to the projection of guilt trips as a way to control actions.  The key is to demonstrate the value of self-reliance without accepting the guilt!

Meanwhile, the Moon is the CEO of Cancer and is submerged in the emotional depths of powerful Scorpio to turn up the volume on self-reliance and rejecting anything less. Otherwise, Pluto, the transformational powerhouse ruler of Scorpio, is flying high in detached Aquarius with no time for emotional hand-holding!

There are multiple opportunities to take actions with Venus, Mercury, and Saturn to heal unconscious emotional issues around family dynamics by simply observing them with an awareness that the past will continue to repeat until released with forgiveness of oneself and others.  Otherwise, dredging up past situations with negative emotions will only lead to brewing a batch of emotional discomfort on a journey of self-victimization that leads nowhere except where you already are.

Neptune is the transcendental ruler of Pisces, and the unspoken blessing of letting the past go with forgiveness is symbolic of Neptune’s recent movement into independent Aries, who is ready for new adventures instead of staying stuck in old ones!   

Another blessing of today and the next three weeks is that all the planets are moving forward, so it is time to take action on delayed projects. However,  Venus, Mercury, and Mars are still in the shadow of their recent retrograde cycles, therefore, it is important to be circumspect about decisions and choices relative to values, resources, relationships, plans, and actions and/or reactions.

The lunar climate shifts at the end of the day on April 15, when the Moon gallops headfirst into rambunctious Sagittarius on a wing and a prayer into new emotional adventures!  Pluto in Aquarius encourages emotional enthusiasm as a transformational journey of freedom without restraints!  While there may be a price to pay later in the week regarding relationships, you may as well enjoy the opportunity while you have it!

In the early hours of April 16, Mercury shifts gears as it moves quickly into Aries to receive the missed details and confusion about which direction to take while it was retrograde in Pisces.  The caveat is that Mercury in Aries jumps to conclusions without taking the time to verify information, so the key is to receive the information without reacting to emotional overwhelm.

Before the day ends, Mercury and Neptune unite in Aries, with an opportunity to consciously receive unconscious messages regarding a plan of action relative to joint financial resources.  The key is to trust the messages without initially attempting to understand the logic of the information.  For example, if the message comes in to stop and buy a lottery ticket that you had not planned to, do it!  Nothing ventured, nothing gained is the motto of Aries!

Just before the day ends on April 17, Mars saunters back into Leo with dazzling charisma and joyful gratitude to return to its nature energy of fire!  Initially, Mars in Leo will encounter support from Neptune and Mercury in Aries to pursue a plan of action to regain the status it lost in the past few months. 

Afterward, Mars in Leo will attempt to persuade Pluto in Aquarius to restore the balance of power, which has been lost due to emotional temper tantrums without tangible results.  While Mars in Leo is a worthy opponent, it is no match for the icy controlling demeanor of Pluto in Aquarius.  Thus, theatrics will not make a difference, so it is better to turn on the charm and wait until a more favorable time to shine!

On the midmorning of April 18, the Moon ascends the mountain of success in authoritative Capricorn with a demonstrative reminder to Mars in Leo, and Mercury and Neptune in Aries, about who is the authority!  Once attitude adjustments have been delivered and challenges have been addressed effectively, the Moon in Capricorn enlists the support of Uranus in Taurus and Venus and Saturn in Pisces to reestablish a sense of order to affairs that have been running amuck!
