Horoscopes
Aries
This can be another day for making adjustments, Aries. You could be feeling a little uncertain when it comes to your finances or business affairs, which can color your mood. You might also be dealing with a desire to socialize but poor timing conflicts with your ability to do what you want. A break is something you definitely need, so that even with pressing concerns and demands of your practical life, a pause that refreshes is important now. Today’s Quarter Moon could raise your stress levels. If it’s the kind of stress that is necessary in order to drive you to take action or make changes, then you’re just fine now. Stress only becomes problematic when it sticks with you for an extended period and amounts to nothing.
Taurus
There could be some wrestling with the fine balance between your personal goals or desires and the demands of your home life. As well, obligations to friends could come into play. If you feel something is holding you back from going after what you want, perhaps it’s wise to wait for a more confident time to go forward. This afternoon, smoother energy is with you. You’re more deliberate and decisive, and possibly quite grateful for time spent alone or with family. Stability is appreciated now.
Gemini
You might find that the world demands a little too much of you right now, Gemini, when you’d prefer to unwind. Someone in authority, such as a boss or parent, may be on your case or otherwise a concern. You could be overwhelmed with things to do, but later today, a close friend or partner may be your saving grace. Conversations may not only be familiar and safe, they can be supportive and genuinely helpful. The Moon in your communications zone does keep you a little busier than you want to be right now, but it can also keep you engaged.
Cancer
This morning, the Moon moves out of your sign and into Leo, which helps steady your emotions so that you can more effectively focus on practical affairs, dear Cancer. Even so, there can be some concern about these matters that begs the need to take charge and straighten things out. There can be a temporary hurdle to jump in a friendship, or some insecurities come to the fore and interfere with decision making. Later today, however, life feels a little more settled, and you take comfort in bringing some order to your life.
Leo
The Moon moves into your sign this morning, Leo, and this brings recently unacknowledged emotions to the fore. Emotional wants can seem rather urgent now, and if left unfulfilled, could interfere temporarily with your motivation to go after long-term goals. Hear yourself roar today, do something special for yourself, and by later today, you’re likely to feel much more grounded and content. Focus returns, even though it remains important to tend to your personal needs and goals more attentively while the Moon transits your sign, until Monday night.
Virgo
You have a lot on your plate and much to be excited about these days, Virgo, so when the Moon slips into your privacy sector and pretty much demands you take some down time, you might fight it at first. However, it’s an important part of a larger cycle that reminds you to take time for emotional renewal and processing of recent events. Fortunately, today’s Moon-Saturn trine brings productivity into the equation. While you’re keeping a low profile, you can still pull off some quality time. Enjoy some anonymity today and catch up on activities that enhance inner wellness.
Libra
You may be pulled out of your inner world today, Libra, as others make more demands on your time than perhaps you’d like at the moment. However, this is a good process for you right now, as you may have recently been keeping so much to yourself that you need a gentle nudge that serves to remind you that life doesn’t have to always be so serious. In fact, later today, you’re likely to enjoy a supportive conversation with someone special or to come across helpful information. Nothing groundbreaking may be involved, but it can serve to lift your spirits.
Scorpio
You could be doubting someone, or possibly yourself, this morning, Scorpio, with the Sun and Chiron clashing in your love and relationship sectors. This combination tends to stir insecurities, so avoid jumping to conclusions. While your mind may be on your relationships more than anything at the moment, your attention is called to your work, life plans, and responsibilities, and this can be a little frustrating. However, this afternoon can bring good news and a stronger feeling of security.
Sagittarius
The need to feed your sense of adventure comes to the fore today, Sagittarius, perhaps in a disruptive way at first, as you seem to have a lot to do. However, it’s important to nurture your spirit, which is in need of some lifting. As well, you may be too close to situations when it comes to home and work problems, and could use some distance in order to come back at these with freshness. Saturn in your sign harmonizes with the Moon later today, suggesting a nice feeling that you can accomplish your objectives and enjoy yourself in the process. You are coming across as more reliable these days, and you’re beginning to like how that makes you feel.
Capricorn
This can be a more introspective day than most, Capricorn, with the Moon dipping into your intimacy sector and stimulating your need to look under the hood, and connecting positively with your ruler, Saturn, in your privacy sector. You might find yourself quite serious about processing recent events and feelings, and enjoying it as you do. However, this can put a kink in your plans, which may have been more grandiose, exciting, or creative. Try to satisfy both needs with one focus of activity, and you’ll make the best of the day’s energies.
Aquarius
Insecurities about home life, expenses, and capabilities can come to the fore in the first half of the day, Aquarius. You may be experiencing a temporary lack of confidence or feeling some doubts about your talents, abilities, or performance. However, as the day advances, feelings stabilize, and someone in your life is likely to be the one pulling you out of a funk. Team efforts and partnerships are now running well, even if there are some things to sort through.
Pisces
There could be some doubts this morning about recent projects, goals, and possibly even yourself and what you are capable of doing, Pisces. Securities tend to come to the fore, but with this, you can also more easily examine where you are lacking confidence. This is the first step towards resolution. As the day advances, more is demanded of you on a practical level, and while this can be frustrating at first, you can soon find that throwing yourself into something productive can sometimes be quite good for the soul, and that this is the case later today. You’ll also find that you’re on the same page with a friend or partner.

Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.

We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 25th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
