Weekly Transits – 4/21/2025

Endings and transformation are on the menu this week! We begin Taurus season with strong Plutonian energies leading up to Sunday’s Taurus New Moon.

As the Sun travels through the first few degrees of Taurus, it squares Pluto in Aquarius Wednesday. The great transformer forces us to confront what requires change. The less we resist the better. Helpfully, Pluto makes this square to the Sun (and its upcoming Mars opposition) from Aquarius 4, A Hindu healer.  This degree relates to our abilities to heal imbalances through spiritual focus. The Sun in Taurus 4, The rainbow’s pot of gold, also is a beautifully auspicious degree related to promised abundance when we hold faith.

On Thursday, Venus meets up with Saturn for the third time. Their first conjunction was in min-Jan, the day of the #peoplesmarch in Pisces 17, A Parade. This week, they meet up next to the North Node in Pisces 28, A fertile garden under the full moon. We have been diligently re-aligning the structures of our lives in accordance to our values, and this week culminates a cycle where we can enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

On Saturday, Mars has its third and final opposition to Pluto, finishing the dance between these planets that started in early November. This closing opposition is likely to bring about definitive endings in power struggles. Pluto will be teaching its lower octave (Mars) a final lesson on how to deal with imbalances. Expect tensions to be high all week, and use Sunday’s Taurus New Moon to ground into whatever new reality awaits after the intensity of this showdown between our ambitions/desires and the greater forces at work that are ensuring we don’t keep repeating the same patterns.

More to come soon on the Taurus New Moon. In the meantime, proactively build in time to SLOW DOWN over the upcoming weekend. Plan to connect with nature, pull out the slow cooker/comfort foods, and take long naps with zero guilt. We’ll be ready for the reset.
