Trends in the Transits
SIGN PLACEMENTS OF PLANETS THIS MONTH:
Pluto is in Aquarius
Jupiter is in Gemini
The Sun will be in Taurus from April 19 through May 20. The following forecast for the month of Taurus is general and will apply to everyone.
Each aspect listed below will be in effect (“in orb”) between its Entering and Leaving dates but strongest on its Exact date. The aspects in play at any time may or may not harmonize well with one another.
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING MARS
In Orb Apr 19 2025, Already Apr 19 2025, Exact Apr 20 2025, Leaving Apr 23 2025
After an unusually long battle to defend security in domestic Cancer, our inner Warrior has moved on to Leo and an inspired fight for honor. These few days bring a challenge to that effort from concerns of the Sun in Taurus about resources and production. Can we afford the actions we’re taking? What changes do they imply? Some people could be very upset about current events now, and disagreements over them might be harsh.
We could experience or encounter conflicting energies, strong competition, and impulsiveness. There is high tension and desire for fighting that can easily become kinetic. Accidents, injuries, and fevers can happen more easily now.
TRANSITING MARS TRINE TRANSITING NEPTUNE
In Orb Apr 19 2025, Already Apr 19 2025, Exact Apr 19 2025, Leaving Apr 23 2025
It doesn’t much matter now if we don’t have worldly desires or hopes of personal reward to motivate our actions. We have ideals and dreams mightier than any of those, and at this time we’re being abundantly powered by our faith.
That said, we should avoid going to extremes, which would be a big mistake. Possible threats of our actions to real material conditions that need to be maintained could result in unnecessary destruction now. We can minimize that hazard by staying centered and keeping both considerations firmly in mind.
TRANSITING SATURN SEXTILE TRANSITING URANUS
In Orb Apr 19 2025, Already Apr 19 2025, Leaving Apr 30 2025
At this time we can get solid results from original ideas. Circumstances may arise which call for the practical application of some innovation created by us or our group. We can help to bring some exciting advanced development into the mainstream of life now. We have only to pause in our work with even newer ideas, and to find the situation of practical need where our solutions are now being sought.
TRANSITING SUN ENTERING TAURUS
Apr 19 2025
Our focus settles now on solid earth and the rich gifts of Nature. In this time of stability and reliability, we are ready for a persistent effort to fortify our security and make the best and the most of what we have.
We’re used to feeling more stability in the earth at this time of the year than we feel this time around. Shifts are happening ‘underground’. Naturally we’re uneasy with that, but they could turn out to be for the better in the end.
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING PLUTO
Entering Apr 22 2025, Exact Apr 23 2025, Leaving Apr 25 2025
Bluffs don’t work for fakers now. Exposure of underlying motivations can wound egos when showy theatrics fail to conceal them. On the other hand, unnoticed genuine virtue or talent may be brought to light.
We’re productive as usual when the Sun is in fertile Taurus, but its square to Pluto in Aquarius could reveal something quite unusual in our output. Those of us who don’t want to be surprised need to make a point of knowing exactly what we’re doing and not taking anything for granted.
TRANSITING MARS OPPOSITION TRANSITING PLUTO
Entering Apr 23 2025, Exact Apr 26 2025, Leaving Apr 30 2025
Truth prevails in this confrontation between the powerful desires of Mars and the more powerful revelations of Pluto, though the clash that ends in resolution could be very intense and violent. Mars can’t get his way entirely like he wants, but he can probably join Pluto in acknowledgement of truth and a fair compromise.
"If you can't beat them, join them." — Proverb
TRANSITING VENUS ENTERING ARIES
May 1 2025
TRANSITING PLUTO STATIONARY RETROGRADE
May 4 2025
Until mid-October, Pluto will be backtracking over recent revelations to pick up any loose ends and make necessary changes before moving ahead.
May 12 2025
TRANSITING SUN CONJUNCTION TRANSITING URANUS
Entering May 16 2025, Exact May 17 2025
Mental excitement is in the air. Many of us are stimulated by innovative thought. Creative ideas may occur to us suddenly, and the next thing we know, we’re experimenting with an original invention or joining with others in a cause to bring about improvement.
At this time, creative thought and activity is focused mainly on material production.
TRANSITING SUN SEXTILE TRANSITING SATURN
Entering May 18 2025
It’s relatively easy now to do what we need to do. Our mental focus is clear. We can deal well with obstacles or limitations, because we’re rational and patient. This aspect makes for good relations with authorities.
