Aries April 2025

Planet of love and beauty Venus continues to retrograde in your sign of Aries until Thursday, March 27 (continuing in retrograde in your twelfth house until April 12), so best to wait until April to begin a new love relationship. Because retro means past, only past relationships recurring are a good idea now, including relationships from past lifetimes. If you recognize someone very strongly, and immediately, this might be your clue. Until March 27, also do not undergo any beautifying treatments such as botox, fillers, plastic surgery, et al. With Venus in retrograde, such procedures would not go as well.

Then, on Saturday, March 29, there is an ambitious solar eclipse new Moon in your sign – and OMG! It’s a whole new you! The world will stand at attention.

The following day, Sunday, March 30, Neptune enters your sign of Aries for the first time since 1861, when the American Civil War began, and stays for 14 years until March 2039. At the same time Neptune enters Aries, both it and Saturn will be conjunct the North Node, which represents destiny. This is a time for the generations and this time is no accident. This is a crucial part of our history. This is what our souls are moving towards, and Saturn lends fate and permanence to the journey and the outcome.

The majority of planets is in your sign now, and this is HUGE. It shines the spotlight on you. On yourself, yes, but also on your body and looks and your perceived image in the world.

You’ll be getting feedback on others’ perceptions of you now. Best to listen to those who know you the best, and often, the longest. You need to absolutely be able to trust for your life to open up and go in the direction it next needs to go.

Many people will be celebrating you as March ends and April begins. Being Aries, of course you’re susceptible to flattery and being liked (aren’t we all?) But, again, if you need to make any major decisions, listen to those who you have known the longest and the best.

For now, in your first house of the body and self you have:

Awesome Sun, giving pure life!

Brilliant-thinking Mercury (co-mingling between your first and twelfth houses, in and out of retrograde)

Love and beauty planet Venus in retrograde

Your wounded healer asteroid Chiron

Enchanting, illusory Neptune as of Sunday, March 30 (until 2039)

And a thrilling Aries Solar Eclipse New Moon Saturday, March 29. This new Moon is a great augur for success going into April.

Your first house, already traditionally ruled by confident Aries, covers these areas in your life:

Your personality

Your persona

Your ego

Your body

Your looks

Your behavior

How the world perceives you

The impression you make on others at first meeting

Your public image

Moving forward

Neptune entering your sign of Aries March 30 is such a big event because it hasn’t happened in 164 years. Personally, it signifies the falling of scales from our eyes, the end of rose-colored glasses. Neptune in Pisces since April 4, 2011, its most comfortable position, brings mirages, spells, delusions, adulation and obsession to our vision full force. When Neptune leaves Pisces, these spells lose their power — and we begin to see anew. This will be interesting in terms of how the Trump-worship dynamic plays out. But also in terms of your own life, who and what you will now begin to see completely clearly.

Remember, eye-opening is a painful operation — so go easy on yourself.

The emphasis through April shifts from your twelfth house of the unconscious and dormancy to your first house of visibility and birth in the world, and back again. You’ll feel torn between the two states, your public self and your private self. Give plenty of time to both and you’ll do great.

You’re awakening from a chrysalis, hatching alive. Spring!

You’re like the Energizer Bunny — you just keep on, keep on going on. Despite the suffering and doubt. Even when you retreat from the world, which you frequently do as it gets so crazy out there, you still stay successful. You stay in the world’s social diary. All this first house activity keeps the world’s spotlight on you.

You do pay more attention to your health and energy this April. You’ll have to. Some of you are feeling the need to do this and have been called to do this. Even if it’s a routine check-up, it’s important to do it. You haven’t been operating at full capacity, full steam ahead. Now you will. You fix what is wrong. Make that appointment with the specialist.

The people and situations that have been driving you nuts, disappointing you, the uncertainty and the doubt, release their hold on you this month.

A road you’ve been trudging along for eons is coming to an end now. Brava. You’re stepping off into a wild and wonderful unknown.

A nice relief, especially for your private self away from the public eye, is your home. After Friday, April 18, your ruler warrior Mars finally leaves your fourth house of home and property, ending any conflict or aggravation there. At last, you can rest and be comfortable.

And finally, the end of April has you in a much stronger financial position. Your self-esteem and confidence soar.

You knock it out of the park, Aries.

If ever I saw blessing in the air
I see it now in this still early day
Where lemon-green the vaporous morning drips
Wet sunlight on the powder of my eye. – April Rise by Laurie Lee
