Taurus Horoscope for April 2025

This month, Taurus, is wild right from its start. The self-reflection and introspection of the previous month carries forward into April. Venus, your ruling planet, remains in retrograde until April 12th. April is founded astrologically upon the recent Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse with no fewer than six planets in Aries, including Neptune on its very edge, representing your sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work; you are in a rather limbic and dreamy space all through the month. On the 7th in particular, when Mercury stations to direct motion and when Venus still in retrograde, Saturn, and Mercury occupy a tight triple conjunction in late Pisces or your social sector, you will be simultaneously pulled to the inside and also finding a way to take recent realizations – that perhaps include whispers of inner wounding unconscious – into your connection with friends, groups that you favor, and evolving future goals. The Libra Full Moon of the 12th is also an extremely potent juncture, when unexpected events may allow you to give yourself greater latitude than what you were planning. The Last Quarter Moon in your sign on the 20th conveys to you issues of truth versus falsehood, including most especially your own internal truth about where it is that you actually stand. This continues to be a time of great internal change and new awareness of moral compass that reflects outwardly in your career and key relationships.
