Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance
Manila, PH | 14th April 2025 - 20th April 2025
Welcome to your Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance, a bite-sized look at the coming days broken down by your Astrological Zodiac (Sun) Sign.
Now that Venus retrograde is officially over as of April 13, all three personal planets — Mercury, Venus, and Mars — are finally moving direct, both consecutively and cumulatively, for the first time in 2025.
While it may take a little time for all that planetary power to fully come back online — astrologically known as the post-retrograde shadow phase — I’m so pleased to report that your momentum is returning. Slowly and surely, yes, but it’s happening.
This is the week to integrate what you’ve learned about your identity and relationships over the last four months. Get clear on what behaviors will move that wisdom out of abstraction and into action. Because let’s be honest: awareness without action isn’t transformation; it’s stalling.
To support this shift, Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16 until May 10. Mercury originally stationed retrograde in Aries on March 15, initiating a deep reexamination of selfhood, boundaries, and freedom, especially complex themes for queer folks shaped by experiences of rejection and surveillance. Now that Mercury is direct and re-enters the first sign, we’re being asked to release the grip of a past that keeps us small. As simply as I can say it: That was then, this is now. Stay in the now. That’s where your becoming begins.
Then on April 18, Mars re-enters Leo, where it will stay until June 18. Mars first entered Leo on November 7, then retrograded back through the sign until January 6. So think back to that season: What did you learn about your Leo-ruled themes? Things like self-esteem, the courage to express your feelings and gifts, and the willingness to soften into joy even in the face of collective grief. Now that Mars is back, it’s time to pick up where you left off. And this time, with even more bravery and heart.
Finally, the Sun enters Taurus on April 19, beginning a monthlong chapter devoted to embodiment, connection, and presence. Taurus season invites us to deepen our relationship to beauty, art, pleasure, and gratitude — not only in solitude but also in the real, living commitments we make with the people we love. This is the season to reintroduce yourself to those connections with more care, more clarity, and a steadier devotion to showing up.
Read on for divine guidance based on your Astrological Zodiac (Sun) Signs.
Aries • March 21 – April 19
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Remember what you wonder on identity!
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Take courageous action on self-disclosure and creativity!
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Clarify your values and commit to implementing them.
Happy Birthday, Aries! Brain fog and miscommunications will shortly be a thing of the past now that Mercury is re-entering your sign. You’re holding so many realizations that may need to be accepted within yourself and then communicated with others. On April 18, Mars reenters your Leo ruled self-esteem sector giving your confidence a major upgrade. Leverage this transit by remembering confidence isn’t the prerequisite for doing brave things but the reward. So be a little afraid and brave at the same time for incredible results while you express yourself courageously and creatively. Taurus Season begins on April 19 and motivates you to see “security” as a little less financial and more integrity driven. What if security is only achieved after you identified two values then implemented them behaviorally? There’s no inner peace like knowing you’re exactly who you are because you practice what you preach.
Taurus • April 20 – May 20
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Integrate behind-the-scenes revelations.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Move from self-protection to self-expression.
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Embody your worth, not just talk about it.
Take it slow, Taurus; you’re right on time. With Mercury re-entering your Aries-ruled closure sector, a soft but powerful wave of clarity around what you want to let go of is returning. Let those quiet realizations land. You don’t have to language them yet, just accept them for now. Mars re-enters Leo on April 18 and activates your home and emotional safety zone. This is a call to make your private life more expressive. Let yourself be seen, even in the vulnerability. Courage isn’t always grandiose or loud; it’s reliable, romantic, and engaged. Then on April 19, the Sun enters your sign and begins your new year. May all your birthday wishes come true! Try to choose two values and commit to practicing them, daily. There’s no greater security than the calm that comes from congruence — knowing you are who you say you are. Let that be your anchor this new year.
Gemini • May 21 – June 20
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Reconnect to your role in community.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Speak with boldness and generosity.
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Rest, reflect, and prepare for rebirth.
You’re coming back online, Gemini. With Mercury re-entering your Aries-ruled friendship and vision zone, you’re ready to reconnect with people and dreams that had been on pause a bit. The best conversations this week are with those who know the version of you you’re still becoming and give you grace while you go off the grid a bit. On April 18, Mars re-enters your communication sector and gives your voice some fire. Use it wisely. Give up persuading and try to put the commune in communication. Then Taurus Season begins on April 19 and invites quiet restoration. This is your month to retreat, recharge, and release. Not everything has to be said or solved right now. Make peace with the pause. Your new chapter is almost here, but the final pages of this one still matter. Tend to your inner world with the same energy you give to everyone else. You deserve your own attention, too.
Cancer • June 21 – July 22
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Rewrite the story of your success.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Let desire and self-worth align.
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Reconnect to the people who feel like home.
Time to revise your career plans, Cancer. Mercury re-enters your Aries-ruled career and purpose sector on April 16 and gives you a clearer voice around what you want to build. Don’t be afraid to change your mind if it means staying aligned with the person you’re becoming. On April 18, Mars re-enters your Leo-ruled worth zone, reminding you that self-esteem and action go hand in hand. Act like you’re worth it, not because you need to prove it, but because you already are and watch the Universe meet you there. Then on April 19, the Sun moves into your Taurus-ruled friendship space, helping you reconnect with the people who’ve seen you through every season. Taurus Season wants you to deepen into belonging. “Belonging” is a paradox, though, and it requires you to both stand alone with boundaries/solitude and stand with others who are trying to dream a new world. Hold both as equally important this month!
Leo • July 23 – August 22
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Reignite your courage to believe again.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Move with heat, heart, and honesty.
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Lead from steadiness, not performance.
The fire’s coming back, Leo. Mercury re-enters your Aries-ruled wisdom sector on April 16 and helps you remember what you know deep down but maybe forget in the fog that is modernity right now. Your desires matter and your joy is radical. Live from that truth! Then on April 18, Mars re-enters your sign and gives you courage, confidence, and freedom from disempowering contexts. Use it to create, to initiate, to say the thing you’ve been wanting to say. Lifeforce and freedom are the goals of this transit! Taurus Season begins April 19 and moves the spotlight to your public presence and career. But this year, it’s less about applause and more about integrity. Who are you when no one’s watching? Lead from there. Consider how your values guide your professional decisions. I know financial instability is scary so we feel we have to say yes to almost everything but this is a time to take a stand so the stand creates a clearing of opportunities that give you financial freedom and are more congruent with who you are.
Virgo • August 23 – September 22
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Face the feeling beneath the thought.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Take quiet, intentional steps forward.
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Let new perspective soften old beliefs.
Let the healing deepen, Virgo. Mercury re-enters your Aries-ruled intimacy sector on April 16 and helps you find language for what’s been hard to feel, let alone say. This is where real clarity begins: with honesty. Mars re-enters your Leo-ruled rest and renewal zone on April 18 and reminds you that not all action has to be external. Sometimes bravery looks like slowing down and tending to what’s been pushed aside. Then on April 19, the Sun enters Taurus and lights up your belief system. You’re seeing the world through a new lens now. Let those realizations change your trajectory. Let them challenge the old rules. Taurus Season is your time to trust the slow burn. Not everything has to be done right now. But whatever is done, do it with your legendary mindfulness and do it consistently.
Libra • September 23 – October 22
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Speak your needs, not your resentments.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Take up space in your friendships.
Sun enters Taurus on April 19th: Tend to the emotions beneath your boundaries.
Find the win/win or it’s no deal, Libra. If anyone can do it, it’s you!. Mercury re-enters your Aries-ruled relationship zone on April 16 and offers a second chance at communication that honors your truth and the truth of others in equal care. Make requests, not resentments. Enter into agreements not unmet expectations. On April 18, Mars returns to your Leo-ruled community space and encourages leadering with your friendships and in your community. Be seen. Be courageous and imperfect. Let the people who love you show up and celebrate you! Then Taurus Season begins April 19 and softens your approach to intimacy, boundaries, and emotional honesty. You don’t have to be in control to be safe. But you do need to take risks and understand trust. Let yourself feel what you feel without fixing it or minimizing right away. This is where trust begins: in the spaces where we stop performing and start relating.
Scorpio • October 23 – November 21
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Rebuild your rituals with purpose.
Mars re-enters Leo on April 18: Show up like you’re already worthy.

Rebuild your routines based on who you are now, and set expectations accurate for beginners like you! Then Mars returns to your Leo-ruled career space on April 18, and the spotlight’s back on. This time, let your leadership come from self-worth, not self-sacrifice. You don’t have to earn the right to take up space; you already have it. Taurus Season begins April 19 and shifts your focus to relationships. Not just romance, but every meaningful connection. Especially with opposites attract style dynamic; learn from contrast, difference, and disagreement. It’s frustrating but that friction can be sexy if leveraged the right way.
Sagittarius • November 22 – December 21
Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16: Speak joy into your desires.

If it makes your heart race, it’s probably the right direction so purse it confidently! Taurus Season begins April 19 and invites you to bring more intention to your daily life. How you move through the mundane is your spiritual practice and it’s rich with practical magic. Make it beautiful. Make it yours. Let this season teach you that groundedness isn’t the opposite of freedom; it’s the foundation that makes freedom sustainable. You can be committed without being captive to it!

You don’t have to carry the weight alone. On April 18, Mars re-enters your Leo-ruled transformation space and pushes you to feel deeper, love harder, and let intimacy shake you up a little. Friendly reminder: Vulnerability is not weakness. I’s the prerequisite of all that you’re striving for: innovation, growth, love, and courage. Taurus Season begins April 19 and brings pleasure, romance, and creative expression back into focus. Say yes to what feels good.

Let the words come, Aquarius, even if they’re not perfectly packaged.

Make it clear and kind but say it. On April 18, Mars returns to your Leo-ruled relationship space and urges you to meet others with more heart not just that brilliant head of yours. We all know you’re so intelligent but the people want to moved by your heart too and the emotions that drive your motivation.

What would it feel like to make your daily life more alive? Try a small thing regularly that puts you in touch with joy. Don’t let any perceived inconsistency from the past stop you from accessing your highest self-esteem right now. Taurus Season begins April 19 and energizes your communication. You’re a sign that doesn’t always love the very verbal - you prefer the nonverbal like body language and song lyrics. This is a time to strengthen the words that help others “see” you because you want to be seen but others can’t know what they don’t know unless you tell them.
