Celestial Spellcheck | Weekly Horoscope for April 28, 2025

Desire, disruption & the road home

This week is about clarifying your desires — and confronting the subtle ways you might be standing in your own way. Venus’s shift into bold Aries midweek stokes your need to chase what you want, regardless of the obstacles. By Sunday, Pluto’s retrograde invites a deeper reckoning: what old patterns need to be composted so you can grow? If you own up to your part in blocking your path, you’re on the right track.

Monday, April 28

Mostly clear celestial skies today — emphasis on mostly. A simple surprise in the evening hours could leave you working overtime to adjust course for tomorrow. Don’t stress. You’ll figure it out.

Tuesday, April 29

The mood shifts in the wee hours of the morning as the Moon slips into Gemini’s social club. On her way into the room, Luna waves a friendly hello to Neptune, Pluto, and Mars, still huddled in deep conversation at a corner table — all before the rest of us have even had lunch. Her calendar is clear the rest of the day, leaving plenty of space for your mercurial pursuits: writing, negotiating, and chasing ideas wherever they lead.

Wednesday, April 30

Wednesday marks the week’s major turning point. Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, charges into bold Aries, sparking a new season of fierce passion, fast attractions, and spontaneous creativity. Relationship drama may heat up — exciting, but also a little impulsive. Follow your heart… and try not to trample anyone on the way.

Thursday, May 1

Luna slipped into Cancer in the early morning hours and immediately got caught in an argument with Venus and Neptune. Since you were sleeping, you might’ve missed the fight — but the ripples still cloud the morning routine. (You may end up working from home if you can’t find your car keys.) Fortunately, the skies clear by afternoon, and you’ll find your groove again.

Friday, May 2

Friday leans into its Venus-day vibe. Dreamy, idealistic, and a little intoxicating, today’s Venus-Neptune union can open hearts and imaginations. It's beautiful for romance, creativity, and daydreaming — but be wary of illusions. Not everything that glitters is gold.

Saturday, May 3

Saturday starts with a roar. That’s the Leo Moon, tangling with Neptune, Venus, Pluto, and Mars all before bedtime. It’s not quiet, but it doesn’t have to be catastrophic (unless you’re craving some drama). The Moon’s meetup with Mars at day’s end puts the exclamation point on all your choices today.

Sunday, May 4

Another change-of-pace day. At the First Quarter Moon, Pluto, lord of transformation, shifts into reverse. Themes of power, control, and deep healing turn within. This retrograde invites personal evolution — but first, we must recognize what needs composting. Today, you may discover that the obstacle is the way. For reals.
