54 minutes

April 2025 isn’t easing in quietly—it’s roaring in with powerful planetary energies that demand our attention. From a volatile Mars-Pluto opposition to a fiery T-square and a deeply transformational new moon, the cosmos is inviting us to face our anger, own our power, and get grounded in our truth.

In this episode of The Rachel Show, Rachel unpacks the powerful astrology of April and early May 2025. With Venus, Mars, and Mercury shifting out of retrograde and a fiery Mars-Pluto opposition peaking on April 26, we’re entering a charged moment of emotional release and personal transformation. Add in a tense T-square and a balsamic moon phase, and the stage is set for breakthroughs—or blowups.

Rachel breaks it all down, including what Venus in Aries means for relationships, how Ceres in Aries could impact agriculture and food supply, and why Saturn’s entrance into Aries on May 25 marks the beginning of a major global cycle. She also highlights the importance of the Chiron-Eris conjunction, which signals protests, activism, and cultural awakening.

Notable Quotes

[03:41] “Mars and Pluto alone at the end of this month is volatile. Mars is a whole lot of feisty energy, a whole lot of fight. And Pluto is this planetary composting agent that takes all of the anger and the resentment and eradicates it to clean the slate for something new.” - Rachel

[06:46] “This Mars Pluto opposition is a time when you can access anger, bring it up to the surface, and express it outwardly. It's also a time when we could see a lot of impulsive action.” - Rachel

[09:51] “April 26th is especially pronounced for instability and eruption of energy. Incidentally, that is also the day of the balsamic Moon, the busiest phase of the lunation cycle.” - Rachel

[11:24] “Venus in Aries is a very independent Venus placement. Our relationships need a little spaciousness and not too much together time.” - Rachel

[18:01] “Saturn enters Aries at the end of May, ushering in a new 30-year cycle. It's a significant turning point in our world and in our astrology.” - Rachel

[20:04] “We could see a technological attack or an escalation of the trade war. Whatever fury and fire gets sparked is going to motivate people to say, ‘I want to do things differently.’” - Rachel

[22:38] “Chiron and Eris, when these two meet up, it's like anyone who has a passion for righting wrongs is going to speak out.” - Rachel

[51:15] “This is a time of planting those seeds that will harvest between now and 2027.” - Rachel
