Venus Conjunct North Node
Venus is value. She is worth, abundance, magnetism, desire, and love. She is beauty, art, pleasure and the exuberance of being alive. The north node is destiny, purpose, opportunity, and potential. It is opening to new opportunities and stepping into growth. This week, Venus meets the north node on April 20, 2025, bringing fated connections and expansion in love, beauty, self-worth, and abundance.
As Venus and the north node come together while in the mystical, spiritual, and creative waters of Pisces, it’s as if Venus steps into the future for a moment and brings us along with her.

From this space, she draws us into our hearts and mirrors how much more of our own worthiness we are ready to embody. And she reveals guidance that feels not just like home but like destiny, purpose, and fulfillment.
On this day, tune in. Venus is whispering, sharing, and revealing what the north node professes about growth, opportunity, and destiny.
Sun Square Pluto
As the Sun continues its travels through Taurus, it invites grounding, embodiment, nurturance, and inner safety. This continues as it enters conversation with Pluto in Aquarius through a square on April 23, 2025.
Our planet of transformation, empowerment, and power, Pluto rules our underworld and all that lives within our depths. As the Sun comes into a square aspect with it, an element of personal transformation begins to move through the ethers. The underworld of Pluto calls our name and takes us into our emotional body, our psyche, our unconscious, our patterns, and more that exists in the spaces of our bodies.
The Sun rules identity, Taurus desires security, Pluto wants empowerment, and Aquarius seeks liberation. On this day, we are meeting a sacred exploration of what true security feels like within our bodies. We are exploring the spaces where safety and liberation are one and where old identities, fears, and notions about security have kept us from moving and living within our true power.
As we journey though our underworld, we are invited to meet more of ourselves and claim the pieces of us that are ready to be integrated into our identities. It is a cracking open of what true security, liberation, and power means. And it is a restructuring of our sense of self to align with this new depth of us.
Mars Opposite Pluto
In another space of reclamation, this week invites the final chapter of a cosmic story that has been being writing for almost half a year.
In November 2024, Mars came into an opposition with Pluto, igniting unconscious material—both personal and collective—to rise to the surface for the sake of transmutation and empowerment. In January of this year, another opposition between Mars and Pluto met us in our cosmos and our bodies, this time with Mars in retrograde motion, continuing the story as we reviewed our relationship with personal authority.
As Mars moved forward once again, we met the final opposition and the final chapter. Although this energy will remain active in the background throughout the month, it is on April 26, 2025, that we meet its pinnacle.
We have been confronting inner and outer power structures that leave us feeling powerless so that we can feel into what true power is. We have been reviewing personal ambition, authority, and freedom so that we can know the truth of these energies.
As we meet this opposition in our cosmos this week, expression calls your name. Emotional expression, physical expression, verbal expression—however you express, express. As we move, we clear, energize, activate, and transmute. As we express, we transform.

Weekly Horoscope, April 20-26, 2025
The opportunity to tune into subtle messaging can be found in each moment. The messaging this week asks you to reclaim yourself. To remain open. To confront fears of insecurity. To create greater safety within. To reorganize your understanding of power, freedom, and ambition. May each concept and awareness shared this week, trough the lens of your weekly horoscope, be a doorway into your own subtle messaging, this week and beyond.
Aries Rising
Explore your relationship with security—both inner and outer, tangible and intangible. This is what holds the space to release emotions, expectations, energy from the collective, and outdated stories around your place in this world. You are here to be who you are, with all parts of you designed on purpose.
Taurus Rising
As the days ahead call for reflection on self-authority, emotional patterns, freedom, and long-term goals, hopes and dreams also call to you. It is a space for emotional transformation and stepping into leadership positions, both energetically and outwardly, in your personal identity and external structures of your life.
Gemini Rising
It’s a time of clearing the space in your mind and letting old narratives untangle. Your mind is expanding, which requires both surrender and expression. Let it all out, whether through journaling, voice memos, or speaking with a trusted person. And then listen.
Cancer Rising
Transformation is calling your name so that you can align with your ideas and visions for your future and remember your personal power in the creation of your life. Take back your authority. Let yourself move with conscious passion, drive, and truth toward your dreams.

You are changing. Allow it to happen.
Virgo Rising
Physical expression through your body and movement calls you this week. Honor its sacredness. Listen to its fears. Trust in its medicine. As you continue to grow more into yourself, know that it is through your body that the rest of you is channelled into this world.
Libra Rising
This week invites you to feel, with presence and truth, what security, trust, safety, and power feel like in your body. It invites you to channel your most truthful dreams into creative expression, even if they scare you. Even if you don’t yet feel enough. Even if…
Scorpio Rising
Outer expression of your passion, creativity, and legacy is calling you this week. Yet you are also asked to tend to your emotional well-being and your inner foundation of safety. These seemingly opposing themes are entirely on purpose. We go within to strengthen and support so that we may express ourselves without.
Sagittarius Rising
Write life a letter. Share your fears and hurts, your confusions and dreams. Let it be a space to untangle your truth, your beliefs, your passions, and your thoughts. This week invites you to express yourself as if you are in conversation with life itself. Let it be clearing, cleansing, and clarifying as you reapproach your forward movement.
Capricorn Rising
This week invites you to land in your body. To let yourself occupy more space. It is within your body that you will be shown what true abundance, security, safety, and inner strength, and trust in yourself feels like.
Aquarius Rising
You’re in a season of transformation. A long season. Your weekly horoscope highlights invites you to tap into the truth of who you are—the self beneath the identity, the essence beneath the self-concept. What is true will always remain so. And what is ready to release will bring about transformation.
Pisces Rising
It’s a week of surrender and expression as you let yourself be held by the vaster realm of existence. It is here that your direction, passion, and movement will find you. It is here that inspiration will ignite so that you may create with it.
