This week, Venus isn’t sipping rosé in a garden of dreams. No, she’s rolling up her silk sleeves, tossing glitter into Saturn’s stern face, and demanding a full audit on your love life, your wallet, and your definition of beauty. Think “Cinderella after midnight”—the illusion fades, and the truth shows up in scuffed heels and a bank statement. It’s not punishment—it’s empowerment.
Whether you’re caught in a love loop, rethinking your budget, or staring at your closet wondering why you own 12 nearly identical black turtlenecks (Pisces aesthetic decisions are real), the energy this week invites course correction. Venus takes center stage—retrograde, spinning out dreams, illusions, and tender truths—before turning direct and asking: “So, what do you really want?”
Let’s break it down, day by day, and get you a real plan—not a Pinterest board full of hopes and heartbreaks.

Venus Rx conjunct Saturn in Pisces
Mercury Direct in Pisces
Welcome to the Great Love Audit of 2025. Venus backpedals right into Saturn’s cold, questioning glare. Suddenly, all the things you’ve been romanticizing—your situationship, that streaming subscription you haven’t used since 2023, or that friend who only calls when Mercury is retrograde—don’t look so cute anymore.
How It Shows Up: You might feel let down, disappointed, or downright jaded. That’s not a sign you’ve failed—it’s a sign your inner reality-check engine is working. Also, Mercury is going direct, so expect a foggy mental reboot. Think: “Wait…did I actually say that in a work email?”
How to Work With It: Get honest. About your money, your time, your feelings. What’s working stays. What isn’t? Needs a direct flight out of your life.
Action Steps:
- Write down your top 3 priorities in love and finances. If something (or someone) isn’t supporting those? Reconsider.
- Pause before replying to texts. Mercury is still shaking off its dream state.
- Ask yourself: “What would I do if I weren’t afraid of being alone, broke, or wrong?” Then do that.

Venus Rx sextile Uranus in Taurus
You wake up and suddenly want bangs. Or to call your ex. Or sell everything and move to Bali. Blame Venus and Uranus shaking things up like a cosmic Etch A Sketch.
How It Shows Up: Unexpected messages. Unusual attraction. The itch for change becomes unbearable—especially in your relationships, bank account, or creative projects. The familiar feels stale. You want freedom… or maybe just better Wi-Fi.
How to Work With It: Don’t do anything permanent while high on sudden insight. But do take note of what you’re craving—it’s a clue to what your life is missing.
Action Steps:
- Flirt with the idea of change without marrying it.
- Try something creatively out of your norm—doodle, dance, destroy and rebuild your entire budget spreadsheet.
- If an old flame pops up, ask: “Am I bored… or healed?” Answer honestly.
Wednesday–Thursday, April 9–10
Moon in Virgo
Time to clean the glitter out of your headspace. The Moon in Virgo wants lists, order, and less emotional chaos. This is the Marie Kondo portion of the week.
How It Shows Up: You suddenly notice your chaos. That pile of laundry? That unread email from your boss? That feeling that your to-do list is toying with you like a cat with a mouse? Yep. It’s all up for review.
How to Work With It: Use the next 48 hours to fix things—not perfect them. Virgo energy loves productivity, but perfectionism is a trap disguised as a goal.
Action Steps:
- Make a “one bite at a time” to-do list. Three items, max.
- If you’re feeling critical (especially toward yourself), pause. Would you talk to your best friend like that?
- Use that energy to fix something broken—an old sweater, a communication, your relationship with carbs.

Moon in Libra
You want to feel lovely. Balanced. Composed. Too bad the Libra Moon also comes with indecision and the urge to please everyone—including that barista you’ve convinced yourself secretly hates you.
How It Shows Up: You want peace—but you also want truth. Those two don’t always get along. Expect conversations that tiptoe between polite and personal. And yes, someone’s going to ask, “What’s wrong?” when your smile slips for two seconds.
How to Work With It: Don’t avoid discomfort just to keep the peace. Conflict handled with grace is still diplomacy.
Action Steps:
- Have the honest conversation. Even if your voice shakes.
- Wear something that makes you feel attractive—for you.
- Redefine balance: Is it 50/50… or does it mean not losing yourself in the process?

Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries
Venus Direct in Pisces
Full Moon in Libra
We’ve reached the climax, folks. The Full Moon exposes your patterns like a reality show reunion special, Chiron digs up old identity wounds, and Venus finally stops moonwalking and starts dancing forward.
How It Shows Up: This day could sting a little. Emotional truths surface—some beautiful, some sharp. You might feel raw, vulnerable, or like the ghost of your ex’s Instagram account is haunting your confidence.
How to Work With It: Healing is a verb. You’re not broken, you’re just evolving. Chiron in Aries asks you to stop apologizing for existing. Venus in Pisces reminds you to choose love—starting with yourself.
Action Steps:
- Write down three things that hurt—and what you’ve learned from each.
- Use this Full Moon to release a story you’ve been telling yourself that no longer feels true.
- Ask: “If I showed up as myself, fully and unfiltered, what would change?”
Sunday, April 13
Moon in Scorpio
The week ends in true Scorpio fashion—no small talk, just deep dives. If this week’s been a spa treatment for the soul, today’s the moment you soak in the mud bath of truth.
How It Shows Up: Intense feelings bubble up. Secrets (yours or someone else’s) may come out. You’re not in the mood for surface-level anything—and your intuition is turned up to 11.
How to Work With It: Stop avoiding your own emotional basement. Scorpio energy helps us transform—but only if we’re brave enough to dig.
Action Steps:
- Spend time alone. Journal. Shadow work, tarot, therapy—all great choices today.
- Notice where you’re trying to control things. Ask yourself why.
- If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut—but ask it for receipts.
Weekly Takeaway: The Glow-Up is Internal First
This week is less about finding “the one” and more about becoming the version of you that doesn’t settle for crumbs—whether in love, money, or self-respect. Venus walks through the fire, Saturn throws down the truth, and you get to emerge with a clarified vision of who you are and what you value.
It’s not fluffy. It’s real.
It’s not always easy. It’s liberating.
So say goodbye to fantasy, and hello to clarity—because the love story you’re rewriting this week? It starts with you.
