Show notes

In this month's forecast, Tony Howard explores the momentous shift as Saturn moves into Aries and approaches its conjunction with Neptune – the big astrological news of 2025.

Discover how Ryan Holiday's recent experience with censorship at the U.S. Naval Academy perfectly exemplifies a constructive response to a Saturn transit, embodying the Stoic wisdom that "the obstacle is the way." This real-world example shows the potential for growth and self-actualization during challenging transits.

Tony unpacks what Saturn in Aries means for establishing healthy boundaries and inner authority, with special insights for those with placements in late mutable signs or early cardinal signs.
Learn about the Saturn-Neptune conjunction's potential for "sobering up" through the lens of Miles Davis' journey and the deeper exploration of Saturn-Neptune themes in Ryan Coogler's breakout hit film "Sinners."

Episode 125: April 2025 Astrology: The End of 'Peak Unicorn' & Neptune's Historic Shift to Aries Mar 30, 2025

Show notes

Neptune enters Aries for the first time since the 1860s in this April astrology forecast, marking the end of "Peak Unicorn" and ushering in a major collective vibe shift.
In this month's astrology forecast, I break down:
- Neptune's historic shift into Aries and what it means for our collective energy
- Saturn approaching Neptune (within 3 degrees) and how it helps us see through illusions
- The complex Mars-Pluto opposition and navigating its intense power dynamics
- Mercury-Neptune aspects creating a "retrograde hangover" and how to use intuition when logic fails
- Important lunar out-of-bounds periods affecting your emotional landscape
Key dates to watch this April:
April 1-6: Mars in Cancer forms supportive trines with Venus-Saturn
April 7: Mercury stations direct but clarity remains elusive
April 16: Mercury conjuncts Neptune in Aries
April 17: Mars enters Leo, shifting from sensitivity to passionate expression
April 18-26: Mars opposes Pluto, creating tension between personal will and powerful forces
April 19-23: Sun in Taurus forms a challenging T-square with Mars and Pluto
This forecast explores the astrological significance of Neptune leaving Pisces after years of "alternative facts" and foggy boundaries. As we transition from Pisces' expansive fantasies to Aries' straightforward drive, expect a collective longing for authentic leadership and a return to more direct expression in art, music, and culture.
Learn how to navigate April's complex planetary energies with practical insights.
