Week
28 April ~ 04 May 2025
RELATIONSHIPS • FINANCES • TEARDOWN
This week is messy, moody, and digging for deep intrinsic changes. We can feel tossed between insight and impulse, tenderness and tenacity. Feelings have a flair for drama, love life takes a wild swing, we’re ready to burn the rulebook, and our inner rebel gets a microphone. It’s time to shake off the emotional beige and embrace the full technicolor range of what-the-hell-just-happened moods. Pluto's transformational influence is elevated this week and next due to going retrograde on Sunday for the next five months, exposing secrets and illuminating the shadow. It’s time to ask ourselves if we even know what we believe in anymore — or if we’re just retweeting other people’s thoughts. Our voice matters more than our feed, our desire is not a weakness, and our emotional depth is not a liability.
VENUS IN ARIES (30 April ~ 06 June)
Desire, passion, and the creative fire of life. We are drawn to new and exciting relationships, creative activities, and financial investments. A surge of confidence, passion, and directness in love, finances, and self-expression. Everything becomes brighter and sharper – flirtation with fire, love with attitude, and desire without disclaimers. Ask them out, pitch the idea, wear the outfit; just check intentions – chasing excitement, or trying to avoid vulnerability ?
Claiming what’s real and following our heart. Don’t ask for permission – move, claim, act. Don’t linger in nostalgia, second-guess our worth, or wait for validation from others. We may have less patience for delays, could become easily bored with routine, and might fall in love quickly or spend money impulsively.
Earlier issues from the past couple of months may resurface, yet this time, we have the opportunity to view them through a fresh and elevated lens. What was previously tangled in doubt moves with confidence.
We may see revelations regarding profits, commissions, and income to emerge, shedding light on financial matters. We might need to make some quick or even tough choices regarding finances, but it’s essential to prioritise our own interests at times.
Relationships heat up, but so does the potential for impatient drama. Be bold, not reckless. We may find a greater sense of clarity regarding the people we choose to be around and the values we hold.
VENUS CONJUNCT NEPTUNE (Friday)
Sensitive, understanding, empathetic. Mystical occurrences. Creative inspiration. Romantic, idealistic, delusional. Discernment may not be strong and we could be too easily influenced by others. Lean into inspiration but anchor ourselves with realism. There’s magic in dreaming — but power in discerning what’s worth pursuing.
This is less about fantasy or escapism and more about getting real with ourself. Illusions about love, self-worth, and identity crumble, leading toward genuine honesty and a more authentic self-image. We may have to face truths we’ve been avoiding to initiate new connections from a place of transparency.
PLUTO RETROGRADE IN AQUARIUS (04 May ~ 13 October)
Power meeting pressure, ego meeting soul. Radical self-inquiry. The power of letting go. Themes that tend to surface can include those related to technology, control, identity, and community. Tearing down outdated, divisive social systems and hierarchical power structures. This process of deconstruction will likely strengthen once revolutionary Uranus enters Gemini on 07 July and begins its three-year trine to Pluto.
We may feel a bit of a reprieve as whatever crisis we may have been struggling with these past six months will retreat back to a dark corner. But just because something's gone dormant doesn't mean that it's been taken care of. It will be back – which means that you have five months to make the switch from being reactive to proactive. Make the necessary adjustments, the bold moves, and decisive choices.
We’re either aligning with our future or still attached to outdated systems that keep us looping in the past. This is about facing inner conflict, accepting accountability, and eliminating the mental constructs that prevent real soul liberation.
Exposing secrets and illuminating the shadow. Issues and emotions that have been suppressed or repressed (re)surface to reveal true motivations, especially those that are of a lower vibration. By becoming conscious of the dysfunctional patterns or fears that have been controlling us from behind the scenes, it enables us to step more fully into our personal power.
What are the power structures in our life that are based on fear, ego, or false identities ? Don’t be concerned with applause or external validation, but rather with truth and self-acceptance. This is a period for dispelling illusions about influence, individuality, and collective belonging. Pull the plug on superficial groupthink to ask what we really believe. It’s time to reclaim our mind, our mission, and our place in the world.
