Celestial Spellcheck | Weekly Horoscope for April 14, 2025

Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty-bitty living space

As the week begins with the Moon in Scorpio’s shadows, the cosmos seems to hold its breath. But silence doesn’t mean stillness. Beneath the surface, change gathers speed. Mercury shakes off the fog and leaps into Aries with ideas to spare. Mars struts into Leo, loud and proud. By week’s end, as the Sun settles into Taurus, it’s time to fit your big, bold visions into a down-to-earth container. Or, in the Genie’s immortal words: “Phenomenal cosmic powers… itty-bitty living space.”

Monday, April 14

The Moon's borrowing Harry Potter's line: "I'll be in my room, making no noise and pretending I don't exist." The Moon is in Scorpio, a bit uncomfortable like a room under the stairs. And it's not making contact with other planets, so there's no noise. As for pretending it doesn't exist? Well, that's probably going a bit far for a Scorpio Moon. More like "I'm silently plotting my escape and revenge."

Tuesday, April 15

After the enforced isolation, Luna's feeling social again. A quiet morning is followed by an afternoon whirlwind of activity and errands. Your mood may change fast as the Moon reaches out to Venus, Uranus, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury. Remember, this too shall pass, so take deep breaths and go along for the ride.

Wednesday, April 16

That 3 a.m. wake up call? Yeah, sorry. That was just Mercury moving back into Aries. He's happy to dry off and get moving again, so he wanted to get up early. And dragged you along for company. But, it's otherwise a clear day, so if you started early, take a nap with a clear conscience for a job well done.

Thursday, April 17

What was that plan? I know you had one yesterday. Alas, Mercury probably lost it on the way to his Neptune meeting. It's their third and final one of the year. The pair can be both visionary and absentminded. Consider it a moment to record the best, and forget the rest. Oh, and keep a dream journal by your bed tonight in case the visions continue into dreamland.

Friday, April 18

Mars struts into Leo just after midnight. But don't worry, this isn’t a fight — it’s a performance. Expect bold moves, fiery flair, and an unquenchable appetite for attention, pleasure, fame and glory. (If this sounds like a certain American president, there's a reason. He was born when Mars was in Leo.) But if you want to channel the Lion's gifts wisely, choose confidence over ego-gratification and creativity over me-first-ism.

Saturday, April 19

There's gonna be a rush at the garden center. The Moon's in grounded Capricorn as the Sun glides into earthy Taurus -- that's a recipe for getting your hands in the dirt to grow something practical and beautiful. If you've been hauling mulch all day, you'll deserve a break at day's end. Dinner and a movie is good, though don't be surprised if you fall asleep during the dessert course.

Sunday, April 20

Today's got layers. (Meaning, there's so much going on, your head may spin.) Venus and Uranus bring unexpected desires; Mercury and Pluto go deep diving for buried treasures and truths. All the day's chatter and chaos may come to a head on Sunday night as the Sun (the rock) squares off with Mars (the hard place) with you stuck in the middle. Sometimes, the only way to win, is not to play.
