Your Weekly Horoscope for April 27 to May 3, 2025

Your weekly horoscope for April 27 to May 3, 2025 brings you a fresh start, thanks to the new moon in Taurus on April 27. When the new moon takes place in the sign of Taurus, it can coincide with new beginnings and changes in your relationships, creative desires, and finances. Maybe you meet someone with lasting potential, or perhaps you’re ready to commit to a creative vision you want to bring to life. This energy is also potent for helping you embody your values, and can help you practice what you preach.

Venus, the planet of love and connection, moves into Aries on April 30, bringing you back to February 3 when it first entered this sign before the retrograde began earlier this year. You’re finishing up the final chapter of your Venus retrograde story as Venus moves direct and retraces its steps for one final time. You might also act more impulsively when it comes to matters of the heart, and inspiration could strike at any moment. Right now, you have the courage and confidence to go after what you want—and stand up for your beliefs.

Something’s shifting in the atmosphere and in the collective when Uranus in Taurus connects with the north node in Pisces on May 1. There could be an unexpected development that impacts your overall life direction and sense of purpose. Trying something new will bring you deeper into alignment. On the same day, Mars finishes up its post-retrograde shadow period, and your Mars retrograde story, struggles, and challenges are finally behind you.

The week wraps up with Venus in Aries and Neptune in Aries sharing a kiss in the sky on May 2. This can bring out your inner romantic, but also increase your likelihood of giving into some of your more out-there desires. Try not to put others on a pedestal, and look out for red flags. There is also lots of loving and creative energy in the sky right now, though! This will also bring you back to April 17, when Mercury met with Neptune, so similar topics and conversations may be revisited from then, as well.
