Click here to download the July 2025 calendar in pdf format. In general and on a mundane level, events are likely to happen around April 7-8, 15, 21 and/or 28. During this month of April there is the following planetary configuration of stationing outer planets that might affect some specific birthdays:
Try not to initiate any major projects on this dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty day (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished. In the 45° dial, there are the following powerful midpoint combinations between outer planets going on that will mark this month's Zeitgeist (and thus work out the whole month):
Some of you may propose or even tie the knot but for others there will be changes of the residence. Encounters are superficial, without emotional attachments but cordial and enjoyable. Venus at 5° Taurus squares Pluto at 5° Aquarius around April 3-4, suggesting irresistible attraction that gets uncomfortable because of the forceful traits. Most Venus-Pluto aspects coincide with (financial) blackmail, financial issues (debt, loans, expenses, insurances etc.) so that some of you may expect to receive bills to be paid. In fixed signs and because Venus is very strong in its own sign Taurus, the most inert one of all, this aspect adds to a fixed, stalemate situation some of you may have to endure. If you are planning to travel around these days, be aware you may get stuck somewhere, some place! Around April 5, there are sunny spells. Around the same day of April 5-6, the Sun at 16° Aries squares Jupiter at 16° Cancer. This waning square points to changes related to the home or domestic area, the residence, and the parental home as well. Some of you may leave the home to travel as well. All waning squares between the Sun in an ego-driven fire sign and Jupiter tend to exaggerate and become the victim of boasting and self-aggrandation. Judgments can be off. Following mundane astrology, this degree area of 16° in cardinal signs is above average involved during earthquakes. Mars enters its own sign Aries around April 9, reflecting actions and activities of the Armed Forces (police and the military) in a big and public way. The entrance of Mars in its own sign is never going peaceful and reflects violence and an accident-prone period in time. There are now 4 planets in Aries (the Sun, Mars, Saturn and Neptune without taking into account Chiron as well). This stellium in Aries represents a treacherous period for Taurus and those of you having Taurus rising. You may not feel too well, be ill or feel confined. Also, there may be a lot going on behind closed doors or behind your back and you better prepare for gossip, trouble, not being able to prove yourself, being held back. The April 10 Last Quarter Moon at 20° Capricorn points to a painful transformation leading to deep regeneration. This whole lunation period is connected to separation in the domestic area and the need to stay strong and keep up. Some of you may bond, unite with someone and change your status to the outer world in that way. Around April 11, there are sunny spells. Mars and Neptune meet at 2° Aries around April 13, triggering a highly violent but also volatile period. Actions and activities serve an ideal or some imagination but may prove to be futile or can be rejected. Undercover and secret activities tend to be more successful. Some of you won't be able to work (for whatever reason). Following mundane astrology, in some instances, this aspect may indicate a strike here and there. Also beware of guns and knives because Mars, very strong in his own sign Aries, increases the risk of incidents involving these 'tools.' Following astrometeorology, Mars-Neptune conjunctions above average coincide with changes related to the earth's crust, causing volcanic or seismic activity resulting in earthquakes for example. Around April 15, Mercury enters Aries, suggesting an announcement, the release of documents and/or a message of importance to the outer world. Some breaking news may spread fast and quickly. There are now 5 planets in Aries (the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Neptune without taking into account Chiron as well). This stellium in Aries puts yet more stress and pressure on Taurus and those of you having Taurus rising. As we already told, there may be a lot going on behind closed doors or behind your back and you better prepare for gossip, trouble, not being able to prove yourself, being held back, not feeling well. If you are born around February 8-9, March 25-26, May 10-11, June 26-27, August 12-13, September 27-28, November 12-13 or December 26-27, the current astrological configurations can point to feeling ill, encountering chronic health issues (especially skin or fertility problems), feeling down and/or dissatisfied, having a harsh conflict or disagreement, and/or to lack work or purpose. Following mundane astrology, the current astrological patterns often coincide with ship fires, knife attacks and/or shootings. There are clouds in the sky around the same day of April 15. Around the April 16-17 New Moon at 27° Aries, Mercury and Neptune conjoin at 2° Aries. This New Moon also conjuncts Chiron at 26° Aries. This New Moon phase, that lasts till the next lunation, brings chaos, uncertainty and obstructions. If you are born around February 6, March 23, May 8, June 24, August 10, September 25, November 9-10 or December 24, there can be uncertainty, unfulfilled wishes, a lack of perspective, to feel hopeless, to feel down or exhausted, lots of mental strain or stress, an increased interest in metaphysics and extraterrestrials, a very talkative mood. Following mundane astrology, this lunation period might coincide with big financial losses, corporations and businesses going bankrupt. Market crashes or downs can be expected. Additionally, it's above average all oil and gas related too as the lunation's degree suggests. Beware of misjudgments during this lunation period and refrain from giving advice during this period. Expect legal cases to result in the weirdest decisions made despite of having a sound legal basis. It's a period in time of some sort of lawlessness to 'cleanse the atmosphere.' Following astrometeorology, the cleansing part of this lunation period often results in heavy precipitation and/or (raging) fires here and there. Following astrometeorology, there are clouds in the sky and it's overcast around April 17. It can be a highly busy day with lots of calls and activities or interventions going on. If you want to order something online or in a store today, beware of delays, products being sold out or defective. Around April 19, there are sunny spells. Around April 20, Mars and Saturn meet at 7° Aries, followed by Mercury joining both Saturn and Mars a bit later on the same day while the Sun enters financial Taurus. This planetary combination with Mercury, representing the messenger, joining 2 other actors (Mars and Saturn), can present an interesting dynamic and show that messages (verbal or written ones) or documents go from, are transferred from, one party to the other (Mars and Saturn that is). The open question is: who is Mars and who is Saturn? Also, all Mercury, Mars and Saturn combinations at 7°-8° Aries reflect, among others: lots of blood loss, shock situations, fear, surgery, sleepless nights, inner restlessness which reflects not knowing what will come next or how things will proceed. It's important to find distraction these days to gently counteract the current energies and do slow movements (going for a walk, doing tai chi etc.) to bring balance. The current events are part of a cleansing and transition period to let go 'old' patterns, fixed habits, conditioned assumptions and be open for new energies that are supposed to widen your horizon and understanding. The Sun's entrance in physical and material Taurus is about an existential crisis, trying to save what is still possible or left (in a physical and material sense). Following mundane astrology, violence and attacks are likely. Especially beware of severe traffic and transportation accidents. Following astrometeorology, there can be tons of precipitation and destructive storms here and there. If you are born around January 27-28, February 25-27, March 27-29, April 27-29, May 28-30, June 29-30, July 30-31, August 31 - September 1, October 1-2, October 30 - November 1, November 29-30 or December 29-31, the current planetary configurations are about, among others: disagreements, conflicts, not being able to tolerate someone or something, to vent an opinion fiercely, to separate because of disagreements, facing a traffic accident, to cause harm, to be aggressive or too assertive, to not being able to make a point properly, to be bitter, to carry out a premeditated plan, to think about death and illness, to lack a compromising spirit. The day after, around April 21 and according to mundane astrology, there can be website or internet outages but also power outages here and there. Following astrometeorology, prepare for inundations and/or floods here and there. Following mundane astrology, the current astrological configurations coincided with food poisoning here and there in the past. Following astrometeorology, there are clouds in the sky and it's overcast around April 21. If you want to order something online or in a store today, beware of delays, products being sold out or defective. Around the April 24 First Quarter Moon at 3° Leo, Venus first meets Uranus at 29° Taurus, at the Weeping Sisters Constellation, and enters Gemini immediately after. This Lunation also trines Neptune at 3° Aries which will influence the week's experiences. This First Quarter's Moon is at an impatient degree. The degree area is a very auspicious one, indicating childbirths, marriages, proposals, expansion, optimism, and exaggerating at times too. It's often about glitter and extravagance. Also, this degree area reflects double standards, mixed opinions, schizoid situations and everything seems to come in two's (it's a double degree). The Venus-Uranus conjunction at the Weeping Sisters, indicates short-lived attractions and encounters that can bring a tearful end (after all, 29° is an ending degree). When Venus enters Gemini, it usually indicates news from or about siblings, a short trip, being on the go. Around the same day of April 24, there are sunny spells. The Sun at 5° Taurus squares Pluto at 5° Aquarius around April 25. This is a willful and highly stubborn aspect. This waxing aspect is forceful and fanatic and not willing to compromise. It points to a stalemate situation. This can be a frustrating and highly annoying aspect, not bringing improvements, whatever decisions you (want to) take. You feel or are stuck. Around the same day of April 25-26, Uranus enters Gemini while Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, at 18° Aries squares Jupiter at 18° Cancer. Disruptive Uranus at 0° Gemini, the most unstable and mutable degree of the zodiac (called a gypsy degree), suggests existential changes, especially related to a move, changing the place or location. There is a breakthrough in whatever situation possible. Uranus will stay in airy Gemini till 2032 and is likely to bring electronics, traffic (by whatever means) and communication to another level. During this transit, transportation will more and more evolve to flying/levitating above the ground (through the air, in the sky) and vehicles might start to become tires-less (having no tires that is). Discoveries and technological innovations will change the way we process information and communicate but Uranus will also disrupt and revolutionize commerce as Gemini is the zodiac sign of commerce as well. The digital evolution will actually grow into a new digital revolution in so many ways and it will go swiftly, even lightning fast. Gemini is a cerebral zodiac sign that is always into learning mode and with liberating and 'outside-of-the-box' Uranus, it will start to stir up our educational systems and schools as well the coming decade. It's found in mundane astrology that disruptive Uranus in dual Gemini will result in separation in groups of people or in societies, countries, areas; the one living next to the other in separate 'systems.' The day after, around April 27, you may have to cancel some plans. There are unfulfilled wishes or longings and some of your plans won't get any approval or have to reviewed. There can be news about someone going hiding or missing. Also, financial fraud or corruption may be in the news. Following astrometeorology, there can be lots of precipitation around this day. There are clouds in the sky around April 28. Venus at 5° Gemini squares the mean Lunar Nodes around April 29, suggesting some of you need time alone, have it difficult to connect with someone or with others. Financially speaking, you need to be cautious too. If you are born around January 25, February 23-24, March 25-26, April 25-26, May 26-27, June 26-27, July 28, August 28-29, September 28-29, October 28-29, November 27-28 or December 26-27, you might experience the death of a female or loved one in your environment, childbirth, irresistible attraction, a passionate but also creative drive, the compulsive drive. Today, April 30, is a good day for a date or an enjoyable encounter. There can be purchases too and some of you may receive a nice package or gift.
