The month ahead: “April 2025”

– Written by: Steve Jump to reading schedule

The Venus and Mercury “push-pull” energy that dominated in March carries over into April 2025, but in a rather sweet way. April 2025 is a month to follow your heart for sure, if you think too much you’ll miss the magic of the energies that will be present.

Neptune’s move at the end of March into Aries brought with it a lot of (unsorted) dreams. What I mean is dreams that require decisions made about them, under Aries rule. Are they doable, or not?? Are we being delusional or are we having faith in something that could become a reality? While it may feel like Aries energies are applying urgency and pressure to make a decision, these decisions are actually quite easily made if you understand the parameters. Meaning, as I said in a recent extended reading, faith and delusion are exact opposites. You’d be surprised how many people get them mixed up and think they have faith but really they’re being delusional. Pretty much everyone in a cult for example is in an energy of delusion. You can always tell when you’re being delusional vs. faithful by understanding that faith is belief without any evidence to support your belief. However if evidence came in that contradicted your belief you would adjust accordingly. Where as its polar opposite delusion is belief despite sometimes overwhelming evidence contradicting that belief. Delusion is dangerous. So it’s good to know these definitions. If for no other reason than being delusional about a person, or situation can really hold you back in life.

So Neptune’s residency in Aries as April opens is a chance to air out some of those dreams generated during the its Pisces era and get them into the light of day, and figure out which ones we’re being a little (or a lot) delusional about, and/or which ones are viable and should be perused.

But the good news for all this Neptunian dream-sorting is Venus moving direct in Pisces alongside the full moon in Libra early in the month raises everyone’s EQ at least 50 points. Meaning we all become a lot more emotionally sensitive and intelligent. Intuition around this time will skyrocket as well. While the Aries energy demands decisions be made and dreams and future goals be sorted, the Pisces energies of Venus, (and Mercury briefly), along with the clever Libra moon will help us find “creative” solutions. I personally like the Libra element from the full moon in the mix because it’s a balanced energy which should keep the “creative” Pisces energies from getting too shall we say… kooky…. It’s a bit of what I might call a “reality can be fun too” energy… It’s one of those perfect storms of sorts…

The second half of the month sees Mars finally leaving the sign of Cancer and moving into Leo. The last time this happened we had Pluto in its final phase of Capricorn placement. This time as Mars moves into the flamboyant fire energy of Leo Pluto is in the more passionate, cause oriented hippy type energy of Aquarius. Truth be told Mars will remain in Leo until mid-June. And that’s a fair amount of time. And while it’s energy will be a helpful booster-shot to any plans you want to put into motion, I will offer you a warning. And I do this because of the Pluto in Aquarius energy that it’s sort of intertwined with. While Mars transits through Leo between mid-April and mid-June there’s a risk that you’ll become TOO impassioned about projects or plans, or even people in your life. I mean downright FREAK’IN INTENSE!!! Aquarius Pluto as I once called it is a 60’s protest type energy. It’s Bob Dylan with a megaphone singing “The times they are a changin‘”. Pluto and Mars energies seem to be intertwined for the next year or two, for reasons I haven’t bothered to fully figure out yet. So that being said, be careful that you don’t turn a simple vacation, dropping off the kids, or trip to the grocery store into a mission to change the world. I’m exaggerating of course, but trust me, with Mars in Leo, I’m not exaggerating much. lol Road rage might be a common side-effect of this Mars Leo energy as well FYI. So be careful who you honk at. They might just get out of their car and come at ya… Just sayin’

Overall, April 2025 should be a sweet and for some, a very sentimental month. There could be something in the energy or in the air as we say that takes you back to what you might think is a “better” time in your life. I warn you to be careful about that word “better”. Actually the opportunity is there within the energy of April 2025 to make this moment in time one of the best times ever. It’s a time where dreams can start to take shape, provided you put in the sorting work I wrote about earlier. April 2025’s energy is one that eats Devil-type energies for lunch. But some lower vibrational ones like doubt and false nostalgia will as always try to creep in.

Having said that, I’ll end by saying that it’s within the nature of those old sentimental energies that “could” roll in for “some” of you this month to convince you that the old times were better. In many ways this is human nature anyway. We glorify the past all the time. Our brains are fantastic at ignoring the most horrifying things and just remembering the good moments. We forget the car accident after the stoplight and remember only the pretty flowers we saw while we were sitting at the stoplight before it. This is a protection mechanism and it’s quite common. My point being, the energy of April, primarily the Venus energies as they combine with the other surrounding energies WILL enhance this glorifying of the past aspect. I’m making you aware of this little fact so that you can STOP IT if you start to see or feel it happening.. Because it’s simply an illusion. It’s a by-product of the energies themselves…

The “better” time.. Is actually, “right now”….

— Cheers
