Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance
Manila, PH | 21st April 2025 - 27th 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.
Since Venus and Mars were both retrograde in the first quarter of the year, this week carries an undeniable sense of déjà vu. The present is rhyming with the end of 2024 and the start of 2025—not because time is repeating itself, but because we’re being offered a second chance to move forward with clarity, courage, and closure.
Every retrograde works like a three-act play. Venus began Act I in Pisces from January 3 to February 4, then entered its retrograde from March 1 to 27 in Aries and March 27 to April 12 in Pisces — shifting from questions of autonomy and desire to themes of forgiveness, endings, and compassion. Mars followed a similar rhythm: The red planet first entered Leo on November 7, 2024, retrograded through the sign from December 7 to January 6, 2025, and re-entered Leo on April 18. With both planets now retracing constellations they’ve already crossed, the invitation you can hear in the echo is not to repeat the past, but to complete it. The same story may resurface, but you’re not the same person. And that’s where everything shifts in the third act.
We are now arriving at key Act III moments. The Venus-Saturn conjunction in Pisces on April 24 is the grand finale of a story that began on January 19 and revisited on April 7 — now offering commitment, emotional clarity, and structural integrity in love. Therapist Terry Real calls the state many modern relationships live in “stable ambiguity” — an ongoing uncertainty in which people remain connected but unspoken about what they actually want, need, or intend. This transit asks us to leave that trend behind. It favors clear agreements, defined expectations, and relational responsibility, without losing the eroticism of the unknown.
Then on April 26, Mars newly in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, echoing earlier confrontations from November 3 and January 3. This is a moment to navigate the tension between personal will and collective belonging. It reminds us that true friendship and community don’t require total agreement. Conflict within community can be constructive if it brings us closer to the multiple truths happening in within us and in between us and others.
And finally, the annual New Moon in Taurus arrives on April 27. This is a grounded invitation to return to appreciation — to notice the beauty of what already exists and allow it to nourish you. Taurus offers a peace rooted in gratitude, sufficiency, and care. Feeling that who you are and what you have is enough opens the door to joy and reconnects us with peace. Research from psychologists like Robert Emmons and community wellness leaders across cultures shows that gratitude strengthens our nervous systems and deepens our capacity for connection. As Tricia Hersey writes in Rest Is Resistance, “Our bodies are a site of liberation. We are enough. We are not machines.” Gratitude becomes a liberatory practice. It roots us in now, in the earth, and in a steady kind of joy that does not need to be chased. Let these ideas animate your intentions for gratitude, peace, and the joy of although it’s not best case scenario yet … it’s enough.
