Weekly General Astrology Forecast April 7th 2025

A bumper week of change. Open your arms to the future

Break with the past

Do what you can – then let go

Brave and outrageous are catalysts

Cosmic suspension ends this week as both Mercury (7^th) and then Venus (13^th), head direct in Pisces. Keep in mind that both planets have to return to Aries and leave retroshadow before we can truly say we’ve put the stop/start retro snafus behind us. But after an intense period of contemplation and waiting, this week may suddenly hand us the change we didn’t see coming!

Letting go and releasing may have been a major part of our process. While others may have opted for the ‘Do what’s down to me, then see if it’s meant to be’ approach. Sometimes we have to apply the wisdom of knowing that we have done all we can. And now simply hand it over to a higher power. The 7^th has Venus have its second encounter with Saturn in Pisces. There is one more to come when Venus is direct again (25^th). Between now and then we could see a situation that has been stuck or in stasis, magically move forward. One way or another.

This may happen in a surprising or even unpredictable way as Venus sextiles Uranus in Venus’s ruling sign of Taurus (8^th), and Mercury meets the North Node in Pisces (9^th). What we think cannot occur, does. Or suddenly we grasp that one final illuminating out-of-the-box idea which hadn’t occurred, or which we wouldn’t have previously dared to try. Brave and outrageous could just hand us that win. But the real goal here is breaking with some element of our past. Even as we await a change. We want that change to bring in the new.

Look to the untried, the crazily courageous and the bold across the 12^th – 13^th. This week’s full Moon in Libra – the other Venus ruled sign, occurs the day Venus moves forward. And also opposes wild card Chiron in Aries. This Moon tells us that sometimes in order to bring something back into balance, we have to upend things first. Or at the very least, step free of repetitive thinking. More in your Full Moon in Libra Moonscope.

If we have truly tried everything – but without success, an unexpected element enters now which acts as a catalyst. Shifting that stuck situation. Just take it that anything could happen! Especially if your situation relates to partnerships, spouses, marriage and even conflicts. If we have been afraid to share our real feelings or show up authentically in relationships for fear of rejection, this full Moon erases those barriers.

Others could ditch their ‘type’ now Venus moves ahead. Which could be yet another way of breaking with the past which is what Mercury’s encounter with the North Node (9^th) offers. Yes, we can still expect a few stop, starts and reversals. But when it comes to doing something new – change is happening.

In a nutshell: If we have taken every possible action to create a change but nothing is working – time to acknowledge that. And let the universe step in. This week could provide the missing element which moves a situation forward as retrograde weather clears.
