Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance
Manila, PH | 28th April 2025 - 4th May 2025
Welcome to your Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance, a bite-sized look at the coming days broken down by your Astrological Zodiac (Sun) Sign.
After the annual New Moon in Taurus last week, we’re all holding new ideas around security and sufficiency. Which begs the question, how do we experience security from within? And when do we recognize “enough” as already present in our lives so we can meet it with gratitude? There’s no accessing Taurus-ruled pleasure without first practicing gratitude.
To support this process, fire returns. Venus re-enters Aries on April 30 and will stay here through June 6. Remember, Venus spent time in this sign earlier this year, from February 4–March 27, before its retrograde. Think back to that window. If certain stories around your desires, boundaries, or relationship dynamics were interrupted, this is when they begin to move forward again. That’s especially true when it comes to stories around naming what you want. Venus in Aries calls us to speak on our desires clearly and directly. It’s like the Spice Girls once said: “So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” If you feel like a new identity is forming through your relationships and desires, you’re not imagining it. This is the start of a long, sacred redefinition.
Look, retrograde fatigue is real. I’m as tired of writing the word “retrograde” as you are of reading it. But Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 4, and this one’s different. It’s slower, longer, more systemic. Unlike the rapid-fire personal planet retrogrades that kicked off 2025, which don’t always converge like that, Pluto spends about five months of every year retrograde. It’s business as usual for transformation work — and work it is.
Use this transit to integrate what you’ve learned during key Pluto-in-Aquarius windows: March 23–June 11, 2023; January 20–September 1, 2024; and November 19, 2024–now. Review those chapters. Trace the threads. It’s time to connect the constellations of insight and prepare to implement them, one grounded behavior at a time.
Read on for divine guidance based on your Astrological Zodiac (Sun) Signs.
Aries • March 21 – April 19
Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Relationships are getting a positive reboot.
Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2: What needs healing for love to flourish?
Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 4: Time to redefine friendship and community.
Love is in the air, Aries! Venus re-enters your sign on April 30, sparking new beginnings, forward momentum, and possibly even healing closure in relationships that have served their learning. If the energy has felt a bit stuck between you and your lovers, that’s about to shift, especially with the Venus-Neptune conjunction in your sign. I can’t think of an arena of our lives that benefits from spiritual practice more than our romantic and intimate relationships. So bring the best of your compassion, forgiveness, and love to the places that are inconvenient, uncomfortable, and uncontrollable. Then, Pluto retrograde starts in your Aquarius-ruled community and friendship zone on May 4, giving your relationship to your community a new stance. Align yourself with people who honor your differences and disagreements instead of trying to make you conform to their point-of-view. Connect with only those who give you freedom and friendship.
Taurus • April 20 – May 20
Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Don’t bring the shadows of the past into the present.
Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2: Surrender what love no longer needs.
Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 4: Rethink your purpose and public path.
Happy birthday, Taurus! Venus heads back into your Aries-ruled closure zone on April 30, inviting you to slow down and get honest about what love needs to be released. This could be about a person or a pattern, but either way, it’s time. Whatever you do, don’t hold a present person accountable for what someone in the past did or didn’t do — especially under the Venus-Neptune conjunction on May 2, which opens a portal for healing and release. What your heart doesn’t want to carry anymore doesn’t have to be dragged into your future. Also, Pluto retrograde begins in your Aquarius-ruled career sector on May 4. Let this be a new chapter in how you hold power, visibility, and purpose. You’re feeling called to help in a wider, more communal way, and now’s the time to do it.
Gemini • May 21 – June 20
Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Reconnect with your wider network.
Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2: Repair a rupture, or deepen a dream.

You’re feeling more social, more inspired, and more ready to rejoin the world, Gemini. Venus dips back into your Aries-ruled friendship and collaboration zone on April 30, nudging you to reconnect with people and projects that matter to you. And if the line between friend and lover gets a bit blurry, why not integrate both and see what happens? If something paused or got messy earlier this year, the Venus-Neptune conjunction on May 2 offers a generous window to bring healing and honesty to the table. People can’t read your mind; tell them what’s true and voice your expectations so you can turn them into agreements if needed. On May 4, Pluto begins its retrograde in your Aquarius-ruled philosophy and expansion sector. It’s time to examine the beliefs that have been shaping your behavior. Let curiosity — not fundamentalism — be your guide to a brighter future.
Cancer • June 21 – July 22
Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Love can be a guiding ethos.

You’re stepping into the spotlight again, Cancer. Venus’s re-entrance into your Aries-ruled career and leadership zone on April 30 asks you to bring your heart to the front of the room. You’re at your most magnetic when you lead with care. If your professional or public trajectory has felt foggy or stuck, the Venus-Neptune conjunction on May 2 may help you to refocus with more compassion, for yourself and others. Sometimes, visibility brings vulnerability, and while that may feel scary, it’s a strength to share parts of your heart that are in service to your work. On May 4, Pluto stations retrograde in your Aquarius-ruled transformation sector, helping you reclaim emotional and financial power in spaces where you’ve given too much away. It’s time to discern who’s truly earned access to you.
Leo • July 23 – August 22
Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Say “yes” to adventure.
Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2: Let love change your worldview.
Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 4: Clarify the terms of your partnerships.
You’re catching a glimpse of something bigger, Leo. Venus dips back into your Aries-ruled expansion zone on April 30 and reminds you that your growth is sacred and needed.

Finally, Pluto retrograde kicks off on May 4 in your Aquarius-ruled relationship sector, ushering. Here, you’ll be learning until 2038 that oppositedoattract (sometimes attack, but then attract again).
Virgo • August 23 – September 22
Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Time for love you can trust.
Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2: Merge with care.

You’re ready to go deeper, Virgo. Venus re-enters your Aries-ruled intimacy and transformation zone on April 30, pushing you to explore what it means to be emotionally available and boundaried at the same time. This isn’t about all-or-nothing thinking; it’s about a confident participation with the inherent unknown of close relationships. On May 2, the Venus-Neptune conjunction helps you repair trust or close a chapter with compassion. Sometimes, the lessons of staying are just as important as the lessons of leaving. Then, on May 4, Pluto retrograde begins in your Aquarius-ruled wellness and systems zone. Your small goals are under review — especially the ones that silently drain you. Do what you love best, and edit accordingly. The energy you save now will create a better structure for everything that’s coming.
Libra • September 23 – October 22

Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 4: Transform your relationship to creativity.
Things are coming into focus, Libra. Venus heads into your Aries-ruled relationship zone on April 30, encouraging you to move from assumptions to agreements. Ask the question. Make the request. Or lovingly end the conversation if you can’t find a compromise. On May 2, the Venus-Neptune conjunction offers a chance to meet someone in a more honest, healing way. Whether it’s a beginning, an ending, or something you’re still figuring out, bring your full self to the connection. Then, Pluto begins its retrograde in your Aquarius-ruled creativity and joy zone on May 4. You’re refining how you express who you are, especially if there’s anything you’ve been hiding. You don’t have to be a polite beauty queen all the time — you can keep it real, keep it messy, and let trustworthy ones hold your imperfections.

Venus re-enters Aries on April 30: Romance lives in your rituals.
Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2: Care can be art too.

It’s time to bring some small goals to the equation, Scorpio. Venus re-entering your wellness and routine zone on April 30 will bring beauty and connection into the smallest parts of your day-to-day life. Romance lives in the rhythms of how we show up, both for ourselves and the people we love. As The Gottman Institute puts it, small things often (because the small things add up). The Venus-Neptune conjunction on May 2 wants your devotion — not in theory, but in practice. Ask yourself, how can you enact care through specific behaviors? Pluto begins retrograding through your Aquarius-ruled home and emotional safety sector on May 4. This is a major reorientation of your inner world. You’re reconfiguring what home means to you, how your family functions, and where your sense of safety and peace comes from. Choose what fortifies you.

You’re on fire, Sag. Venus heads back into your Aries-ruled joy and creativity zone on April 30, lighting up your ability to play, flirt, and express yourself fully. This is a pleasure transit, but also a healing one, especially on May 2, when Venus links up with Neptune. Let this be the moment when you remember that joy is not frivolous. It’s fundamental. Bring beauty into your body, your home, your art. Let it move through you. Pluto begins its retrograde in your Aquarius-ruled communication zone on May 4, encouraging clarity around the stories you’re telling. Some ideas need editing. Others need amplifying.

On May 4, Pluto begins its retrograde in your sign, kicking off another chapter in your long transformation. You’re in the process of becoming. Not in a performative way—but in a deep, cellular way.
