General for Week Commencing: Monday 28 April 2025

	Aries	Monday 28 April 2025	Mar 21 - Apr 19
From the moment you move into the new week, there is going to be a sense that something has shifted. This is partly because of Monday’s New Moon and the positive start to this week that this will give income and job matters that are already locked, loaded and ready to go a kick start, but also partly because something over the weekend has awoken you to the fact that life can no longer be all work and no play. By the time you move into the new week, Mars has been back in a playful and creative part of your chart for 10 days, but it was his clash with Pluto over the weekend that has fired up your romantic and creative passions and fighting spirit. This won’t take away from a positive week on the income and job fronts, but having the right guardrails in place when it comes to a balance between work and play has become a lot more important. Yet the real game changer was the Moon’s return to Aries last Friday and its first alignment with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams here in 150 years.

	Taurus	Monday 28 April 2025	Apr 20 - May 20
Monday’s New Moon might come just eight days in your birthday month and new solar year and before you have had a chance to get a proper feel for what the coming year holds or what you might want, you are more prepared for this than you might think. It was last Friday that a nearly three week friendly aspect between Uranus in Taurus and the South Node in a playful and creative part of your chart officially began, but in reality, they have been locked together since a total lunar eclipse in March. Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected, has been in Taurus since 2019, but leaving in July, he is ready to bring things home and thanks to the South Node, this is already giving your heart a powerful voice. Meanwhile, it was over the weekend that a clash between Mars and Pluto may have put your work/life balance to the test, but with Pluto at a standstill ahead of a retrograde turn next Monday, at a time when there is already a need to take your foot off the gas.

	Gemini	Monday 28 April 2025	May 21 - Jun 21
Starting the week with the Moon not only in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart but as a New Moon, is a chance to ease into the new working week, at a time when things are still evolving professionally. This comes eight days after moving into the final month of your old solar year and of a chance to reflect on the journey so far. While Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion will move into his final month in Gemini on Monday and of the foundation year of a 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion, the Sun will be back by then. Meanwhile, moving through Gemini from Tuesday to Thursday, the Moon will bring a valuable chance to check in and regroup. In the meantime, before leaving your career sector on Thursday Venus continues to give your heart a voice, at the same time that a friendly aspect between Saturn here and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your work sector will see them join forces to focus on the when, where and how. Venus will leave just before the Moon’s return to your income sector on Thursday will kick off a positive few days across the income, work and career fronts.

	Cancer	Monday 28 April 2025	Jun 22 - Jul 22
Monday’s New Moon in your friendship sector is going to get the new week off to a positive start, at a time when the forces here and on the communication front have already joined up. Also helping to get the week off to a positive start and even defusing some of the tension over the weekend, is starting the week with the stars on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence just starting to power up. It began on Sunday, when a friendly aspect to Venus, who is getting ready to leave an adventurous part of your chart on Thursday and the asteroid Juno, in her early days back in a playful and creative peaked. Saturn and Juno will remain locked together, keeping this alive all week, even after Venus returns and joins a growing team on the career front. This is when any financial tension at the start of the week will already be turning into motivation. It was a clash between Mars on the income and Pluto on the financial front that saw them fighting for your attention as the focus shifts to the income side of the financial fence.

	Leo	Monday 28 April 2025	Jul 23 - Aug 22
Just starting the week with the Moon in your career sector is going to be an advantage, but Monday’s New Moon is going to give the green light to forces on the income and career fronts that are already locked, loaded and ready to go. While the Sun only returned eight days earlier and you are still adjusting to having the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options, this is something that you have been preparing for long before that. All the New Moon is doing is pushing the ‘go’ button. This will get the new working week off to a good start, but this is something that will continue to unfold for months. With this professional year catching its second wind, helping to balance things out will be Venus’ return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on Thursday, where she will join the four planets already there. Meanwhile, any personal and/or relationship tension from a clash between Mars in Leo and Pluto in your relationship sector over the weekend will drop back as the week progresses.

	Virgo	Monday 28 April 2025	Aug 23 - Sep 22
What a difference a few days can make. While all of life’s problems aren’t going to suddenly go away and you are still likely to be juggling as many balls, Monday’s New Moon in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery is going to put a different filter on things. It is not just a sense of adventure that is responsible for this, but this will make it easier to see the big picture and harder the sweat the small stuff or to have your buttons pushed. At the same time, Venus and Saturn not only aligned in your relationship sector last week but just as they were crossing the lunar nodes and their policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs. This will have exacerbated any personal and/or relationship tension while before Venus, the planet of love leaves your relationship sector on Thursday, with a better understanding of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Meanwhile, the Moon will be making Tuesday to Thursday positive and insightful days on the job and career fronts.

	Libra	Monday 28 April 2025	Sep 23 - Oct 23
Both sides of the financial fence are getting off to a positive start and while they might briefly clash on Tuesday, there is just too much support on both sides for any financial tension not to almost immediately turn into motivation. The week not only starts with the Moon in your financial sector, but Monday’s New Moon is giving money matters the green light just as they are locked, loaded and ready to go. Behind this are planets that are using this to set things in motion when you are already poised and ready to take your financial power back. Meanwhile, on the other side of the financial fence, the week begins with a friendly aspect between Juno, the queen of commitment in your income sector and Venus, the planet of money in your work sector that peaked on Sunday separating, but another with Saturn here continuing for the rest of the week. It is the Moon’s return to your work sector from Thursday to Saturday that will bring things together across the income, work and career fronts. Before then, the Moon will spend the heart of the working week in an adventurous part of your chart.

	Scorpio	Monday 28 April 2025	Oct 24 - Nov 21
The Moon not only begins the week in your relationship sector, but Monday’s New Moon makes this an opportunity for new beginnings and a fresh start from the start. What makes the timing significant is that it was just last Friday that a nearly three week friendly aspect between Saturn and the South Node began, bringing you to the start of some powerful weeks for friendship and relationship building. Before leaving on Tuesday, the Moon will clash with the asteroid Juno, for the first time since she retrograded back into Scorpio, but as the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships she will use this to help you better understand what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Helping to mitigate any tension is Juno’s close alliance to Venus, in the final days of the planet of love’s bonus visit to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart before leaving on Thursday. With this professional year already catching its second wind, this is a chance to put some guardrails in place when it comes to a balance between work and play.

	Sagittarius	Monday 28 April 2025	Nov 22 - Dec 21
Just moving into the new working week with the Moon in your work sector is going to get things off to a positive start, but Monday’s New Moon brings you to what could be a significant turning point in the professional year itself. By this point, the Sun has only been in your work sector for eight days and you are still adjusting to having the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options. However, while they have been slowly coming together since the total lunar eclipse in March, it was on Friday that a nearly three week friendly aspect between Uranus on the job and the South Node on the career front locked into place. The New Moon might be the trigger, but it comes as things are locked, loaded and ready to go. With after six years Uranus is leaving in July, this is the start of the most pivotal months of the year on the job front and potentially some of the busiest. Helping to keep things balanced is not only having Mars back in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, but Venus’ return to a playful and creative part of your chart on Thursday.

	Capricorn	Monday 28 April 2025	Dec 22 - Jan 19
Now more than ever, a balance between work and play is not only important, but a reality whether you have chosen it or not. On Monday, Jupiter will move into his final six weeks in your work sector and of a 13 month quest for job growth and expansion. With the last of the roadblocks removed and Jupiter ready to bring things home, when the Moon moves through from Tuesday to Thursday, this is going to set everything in motion. While Jupiter is only here for another six weeks, more troops are on the way, including the Sun, who will return to your work sector next month and Uranus, who will return in July for the first time in eight decades. In other words, things are not only firing up on the busy side of life’s fence but will continue to for months to come. However, the week also begins with the not only a New Moon in a playful and creative part of your chart on Monday, but just as the stars have already aligned on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.

	Aquarius	Monday 28 April 2025	Jan 20 - Feb 18
Monday’s New Moon in your home and family sector comes just eight days after the Sun’s return and while you are still adjusting to having the solar spotlight on your home, family and/or property matters. Yet with Uranus not only in the final months of a six year visit but just as support from the South Node has locked into place, you are more than ready for what is a chance to draw a major new line in the sand. Meanwhile, while a clash between Mars in your relationship sector and Pluto in Aquarius that peaked on Sunday is already separating, the fog of war and strong responses on both sides might take a few days to dissipate. This makes it important not to overreact if your buttons are pushed, while using this to better understand what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Everything will be looking a lot different by Thursday, with Venus’ return to your communication sector able to smooth the waters while lending her expert hand to giving your heart and your relationships a voice.

	Pisces	Monday 28 April 2025	Feb 19 - Mar 20
What makes the timing of Monday’s New Moon in your communication sector significant, something that was always going to give the communication lines a boost and allow the words to flow more smoothly while creating a chance to draw a new line in the sand, is the timing. This is something that is always going to give the communication lines a boost and get the words flowing, but it comes just as you have moved in a three week period where the communication and relationship gods are aligned and working together. That was the case whether there was a New Moon or not, but this just speeds up the process. Meanwhile, while tension is dropping back after a clash between Mars and Pluto over the weekend, as you move into what could be the busiest month of the year, this was a timely reminder when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. The danger isn’t that this might linger and instead, once the working week takes hold, how easy this might be to forget.
