This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on March 29, 2025, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Main signs impacted during the lunation:
All 3rd decans especially in the first half of the lunation; 1st decans of Fixed signs gain in power in the second half of the lunation, towards the last quarter.
Focus on the dynamics of the full Moon
The sensitive and major point at the beginning of this lunation is the passage of Neptune into Aries, which I’ve covered in a dedicated article, and which can therefore mark a certain dynamic impulse over the period, useful for following one’s ideals and idealizations.
We can also see that Venus and Mercury retrograde in conjunction with transits of Neptune and Saturn are very insistent, which confirms a significant medium-term “persistence” on these Neptunian energies!
Either with “a brainstorm” to pursue on this, or certain “value crises” that require you to review your priorities differently, see what I said about the retrograde motion of Venus in Aries…
Depending on how you express your birth’s Neptunian energies, this could mean, for example:
+at a socio-professional level, by giving yourself a new skill to bring you closer to a vocation
+on an emotional level, by sorting out the idealized from the reality of life
+on a psychological level, by increasing emotional instability and the risk of cyclothymic phases.
Etc etc etc
Mars resumed its direct motion around the 3rd dekad of February, returning to a sector it first crossed around mid-October 2024, then a second time around the end of January 2025, and now emerging more definitively from its retrograde loop.
So these Martian forces can help a lot to “cut through” things that might have remained in abeyance throughout this period, all the more so as we also see the passage of the Black moon in Scorpio taking place at the end of March 2025, which brings with it another elemental change (Plutonian), helping to initiate new dynamics that can be promising for the natives concerned.
The full moon phase of April 13, 2025 is clearly particularly energetic and may see many mid-term phase releases.
Mercury and Venus are finally back on direct motion in the 2nd dekad of April, and for several months now, there’s been no retrograde dynamic in the sky. (This opens up a very dynamic phase of the year).
Be careful, however, as this mid-April period is unlikely to be very “calm”. On the contrary, these unblockings are likely to be accompanied by tensions and confrontations…
We can see that the Scorpio full moon (in conjunction with the Black moon) forms a Grand Cross pattern with the Mars/Pluto opposition in apex (which I’ve mentioned several times in my posts, with Mars gradually re-entering Leo), so it could be very “sharp” over the period.
There may be a notion of revelation, of awareness, of something being brought to light or breaking the camel’s back, and this is done in a certain power struggle, or in revolt against an authority figure (or perhaps by having to deal with jealousy, possessiveness, manipulation, etc.).
There’s really a lot of energy being released at this full moon, and the image that comes to mind is as if we’d compressed a spring a lot in previous months, and now it’s tending to release all its accumulated energy at once in mid-April…
Beware of the rather violent forces that may be hidden behind it, and which will not go easy on you, especially if you find yourself “in front”, on the wrong side of the spring.
This phase can be quite nervous and impetuous, but it’s very useful in any case for getting to the bottom of things in a more “definitive” (and trenchant) way.
So try to wait for this phase of the month if you have an action to take, a decision to initiate, a contract to sign, etc. etc. The second half of the lunation will be much more favorable to various externalizations, to extroverted forces.
The 1st decans of Fixed signs may be particularly energized by this Grand Cross at the end of the lunation (last quarter or so), so be extra vigilant if you’re concerned…
