Weekly Horoscope, April 27-May 3, 2025

New Moon in Taurus

A new Moon is a new beginning. An opportunity to renew yourself. To choose again. To connect within before you set intentions for your desires. This week, the Moon rebirths herself into a new cycle while in the sign of Taurus on April 27, 2025.

The zodiac’s first earth sign, Taurus is fertility and the Earth. It is groundedness and peace, self-value and pleasure, comfort and steadiness. Yet this is not our typical new Moon in Taurus. Pluto and Mars are also active and present, bringing transformation and action, depth and intensity.

The beginning of the Moon paired with Mars and Pluto offer expansion as well as a disruption to the way things have been in exchange for the sake of what could be. Themes of empowerment and reclamation call our name under this lunation. They bring a disruption to the structures and ways of being rooted in anything but truth.

The energies stirring in these constellations and our bodies ask that we reevaluate what security and comfort truly mean to us. It is a space to reflect on what true, empowered security could feel like. What rooted safety in our nervous system could feel like. And where we source our feelings of security, safety, empowerment, whether from within or without.

Venus Enters Aries

The planet Venus has been moving in and out of Aries, in forward motion and in retrograde, since February of this year. Any planet crossing that threshold of the first sign of the zodiac births itself anew. As Venus initiates a new cycle of herself by entering Aries on April 30, 2025, so do all the facets within us that are represented by her.

Venus is the parts of ourselves that are attuned to beauty and harmony, self-worth and inner love. The parts of us aligned with abundance and pleasure, art and connection. The parts of us that instinctively share and receive love. These are the domain of Venus. And these are the spaces within us that are creating a new way of being—one that honors and aligns with our worth.

Venus in Aries invites bold love for self and other. It invites heightened passion, creativity, and confidence. It inspires new projects, courageous heart healing, and an ownership of our own magnetism. And it invites us to lead from the heart, unafraid and courageous, as we lend ourselves permission to claim our desires.

Venus Conjunct Neptune

Neptune recently entered Aries for the first time in more than 165 years. As the planet lingers at the threshold of Aries, any planet that also spins through the first sign of the zodiac inevitably passes near Neptune. As that takes place, they meld energies and become one for a brief moment.

On May 2, 2025, it is Venus and Neptune that come together in Aries. Venus is our goddess of love and art, beauty and abundance whereas Neptune is our mystical planet of dreams and intuition, compassion and oneness.

As they express themselves through the fires of Aries, we are privy to a profound influx of creativity, imagination, and inspiration. It is a day to receive and express desires, artistic expression, declarations of love, and ownership of inner worth. Here we traverse both the seen and unseen, threading dreams into action, inspiration into movement, and more energy into our bodies.

Gemini Rising

The sacred desires a space of collaboration and remembrance, healing and revelation. It wants to offer you vaster inspiration and ideas. Will you open yourself? Will you let it in?

Take up more space. Own your desires. Own your authority. Own the journey toward your goals, impact, and legacy. Look within toward healing, rooting, and safety so that you may look ahead toward your becoming.

Virgo Rising

We meet life only as deeply as we meet ourselves. This week invites you to meet each of these with depth, intimacy, truth, and openness. There is creativity and courage stirring from your depths, and vaster inspiration and wisdom waiting for you in the ethers.

Libra Rising

Empowerment begins from within. Worthiness is innate. Safety arrives from trust in ourselves and our strength. Step into these truths. Own them in your body. Observe what exists within you that’s in opposition to these truths so that you may reassert yourself.

Scorpio Rising

Your days, your routines, and your body are a channel through which the sacred expresses itself. The week ahead asks you to create space within them for expanded inspiration, creativity, intimacy, vulnerability, and safety in your body and yourself.

Aquarius Rising

Clear your body of outside noise. Let your mind be free from the opinions and ideas of others. Send all emotions that are not yours into the ethers. There are more authentic truths, desires, and versions of you waiting to take up more space. But first, you must create space.

You are the architect of your life, the artist of your reality. Your weekly horoscope invites you to own this power as you intentionally choose what resides in your mind and body. Perhaps it’s less about bringing in new ideas and more about clearing what was never yours.
