There’s some forward momentum packed into your weekly horoscope for April 13 to April 19, 2025. Mercury, the planet of communication, is on the move now that the retrograde ended last week—and on April 15, Mercury changes signs and enters Aries. This brings you back to March 3, when Mercury first entered Aries before the retrograde began, so similar themes and topics from that time period will be revisited.
The following day, on April 16, Mercury and Neptune (both in the sign of Aries) meet up at the same exact location in the sky. The last time Mercury and Neptune met at this specific point in the sky was on April 17, 1861, so it’s been a while. Collectively, similar themes and topics may resurface from that time period. (History buffs, feel free to do a quick Google search—there are some notable historical events from that day!) Personally, this can coincide with emotional conversations or encourage idealistic thinking. There’s also more confusion and misunderstanding in the air, so do your best to avoid making important decisions or assuming someone else’s intentions. You don’t have the full picture in front of you just yet.
You’re feeling feisty once Mars, the planet of action and motivation, moves into Leo on April 17. This marks the final chapter of Mars retrograde—even though Mars is no longer retrograde, it’s now retracing the same steps it took during the retrograde, so you’re wrapping up some of your retrograde story. This brings you back to November 3, when Mars first entered Leo last year, and December 6, the day Mars went retrograde in Leo last year. Similar themes and topics will resurface.
The sun enters Taurus on April 19, and you have the determination and grit to bring your visions to life. You’re craving more stability and consistency in your life and also trying to focus more on the present moment. Taurus is a zodiac sign associated with your value systems and the ethics that keep you grounded and tethered to both earth and the human experience. The next few weeks invite you to practice what you preach and put these values into action. On the same day, Mars in Leo mingles with Neptune in Aries for the first time since the 1800s. This helps you make progress on your dreams and gives you the courage to stand up for what you believe in. You might also make decisions based on your intuition, and feel like things are falling into place today.
