April 2025 is marked by significant planetary retrograde activity, primarily involving Venus and Mercury. Venus continues its retrograde phase until April 13, transitioning through Aries, a sign that intensifies themes of passion, self-assertion, and relationship dynamics. This period invites reflection on love, values, and financial decisions, urging a reassessment of personal desires and partnerships.

Mercury's retrograde, which began in mid-March, concludes on April 7 in Aries, signaling a shift from introspection to forward movement in communication, technology, and travel matters. Mercury stations direct shortly after, moving into Pisces, which softens the energy and encourages intuitive insights and creative problem-solving.

These retrogrades collectively offer a powerful opportunity to revisit and realign key areas of life. While Venus retrograde encourages emotional clarity and healing, Mercury's transition from retrograde to direct motion supports renewed clarity and progress. Navigating these shifts with patience and mindfulness can lead to meaningful growth and transformation.
