Horoscope For Today: Saturday, April 12, 2025

It’s a big day in the cosmos, my friends! Today brings us to an incredibly potent, dynamic full moon in Libra. This is the first lunation on the Aries-Libra axis following the Aries-Libra eclipses that have been bringing about some changes in our lives over the past couple of years. As such, we’re being presented an opportunity to shed the parts of ourselves and our lives that no longer serve the direction we’re now headed. This full moon isn’t exactly easy–it holds a tense demand to look at where we’ve been playing it safe and where we’ve been hiding our own gifts and authenticity. However, it holds tremendous dynamic potential if we choose to work through those tensions, get honest with ourselves, and commit to a path of action.

Just as the Moon is at its fullest, Venus stations direct after a 40 day retrograde journey. As Venus changes directions to move forward through the zodiac once again, we may find ourselves feeling some pent-up frustration finding some flow, especially when it comes to matters of love, beauty, money, and values. This full moon in Libra is under the influence of Venus, as Venus is the planetary ruler of Libra, which means that this Venusian shift of directions will be particularly sensitive and important to our experience of today’s full moon. Together, these two major astrological happenings signal a moment of stepping forward with a stronger sense of alignment and empowerment after facing personal challenges through Venus’s retrograde period.

Additionally we have the Sun, signifier of self, ego, and how we shine, coming into contact with Chiron, who astrologically represents the journey of unlocking our unique personal gifts through healing. And finally Mercury, our cosmic messenger and planet of communication, ideas, and inspiration, coming into contact with the north node of fate and destiny, delivering important intel when it comes to our own path forward.

All in all today is a big day of renewal, clarification, healing, and letting old stories go. Read on to find out what it all means for your sign, and don’t forget to read for your sun and rising signs!

Aries

Aries, today the cosmos are here to remind you that you don’t have to go about it alone. While your independence and resourcefulness are, without a doubt, some of your greatest gifts, it’s time to start recognizing where those things have been acting as a defense mechanism that’s keeping you from trusting and connecting with others. Doing so, in turn, will help you cultivate a greater sense of security and support and will create space for you to feel more seen and recognized for your greatest gifts.

Taurus

Taurus, after today you may start to feel some of the pent-up frustrations and roadblocks finally easing up and finding a bit of flow. But in order to dissolve some of those blockages, you may find that you need to create a bit of space and do a little bit of metaphorical (and perhaps literal!) dusting. This full moon in Libra is asking you to let go of outmoded means of thinking that you’ve been subconsciously holding on to in order to free up the energy you’ve been unwittingly giving over to it. For you, Taurus, today is the perfect day to do a little bit of cleaning and reorganizing in order to gain a little bit of energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual clarity.

Gemini

Gemini, it’s time to take your own creativity to new heights. This full moon in Libra is granting you an opportunity to release pressures you put on yourself to show up and express yourself in a certain way and lean into the community that recognizes your true gifts. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself embracing some sudden ideas and inspiration when it comes to how those very gifts might help contribute to finding some merging between these things and your own sense of calling and purpose. If you need a little guidance or are struggling to get things flowing, take some time to journal out your thoughts.

Cancer

It’s time to finally get some forward movement going, Cancer, and today’s full moon in Libra is the key. Today’s astrology is supporting you in taking a look at everything you’ve learned through the friction you’ve been bumping up against throughout 2025 and determine where you have the autonomy and ability to let go of what’s been holding you back. In other words, where have you been holding yourself back and how can you take action in redirecting your course from here? Cancer, for you today is all about deciding how to direct your story from here, particularly in ways that allow you to take authoritative action.

Leo

Of course you’re always striving to be your best and do things as big as possible, Leo, but today’s astrology is asking you to consider where your own gifts can be brought down to the world right in front of you. You may find yourself struck with revelation today when it comes to your own healing journey, Leo. That might look like sudden insight around a certain wound you’ve been dwelling on or clarity around how your healing work has been contributing to your own strengths. Either way, today acts as a significant moment of burning away a layer of the things you have been working through in order to reveal the unique gifts you stand to offer through your experience.

Virgo

You’re coming out the other side of a heightened few weeks for you, Virgo, after a lunar eclipse in your sign and your ruler, Mercury, having been retrograde. Your attention has been getting forcefully directed towards what’s not been working for you and where you’ve been exerting too much energy trying to control details. Today’s the day to pivot your energy from these challenging few weeks and think about how to direct yourself forward constructively, while allowing the wisdom of your past experiences to guide you forward.

Libra

It’s a big day for you Libra! In fact, you may find yourself feeling palpable energetic shifts, turns in your sense of motivation, and even a disciplined sense of determination when it comes to embracing both of these things. Today’s full moon is the first in your sign after fully completing the series of Aries-Libra eclipses that have been unfolding since spring of 2023, which means that today is a potent invitation for you to choose the direction of your path from here in response to all of the major change that has been unfolding in your life. However, in order to do so it’s time to get real with yourself about what does and doesn’t belong as you take the path forward. What parts of you are you ready to shed? What have you armored your sense of self around as protection from things you no longer need protecting from? Who is it time for you to be, Libra, and what do you have to let go of in order to do so?

Scorpio

Scorpio, for you today is a day of confronting the deep-seated thoughts and patterns of thinking that influence how you approach your day to day, habits, and routines. You may find yourself gaining a sudden sense of clarity when it comes to how your daily habits and routines haven’t been supportive of your own overall health and wellness, keeping you from utilizing your own time and energy in ways that feel the most fulfilling. Today’s astrology is encouraging you to commit yourself to letting go of the negative habits in favor of embracing what actually brings you joy, pleasure, and a greater sense of harmony with yourself.

Sagittarius

You’re certainly not one to bend your own will and authenticity to the wants of others, Sagittarius, but you’ve also been doing a lot of healing when it comes to understanding what brings you joy, radiating your truest self, and embracing your own creativity and talents. Today’s astrology is encouraging you to examine where you can let go of the need to please others, particularly when it comes to communal standards and networks that don’t uplift your own gifts and aspirations. In doing so you’re creating more space to be yourself within community that does uplift your best self, your greatest gifts, and whose aspirations align with your own.

Capricorn

Capricorn, today’s astrology is all about illuminating the ways in which your own healing processes and means of striving for success needed to be tended to from the root up. If anyone understands the importance of solid foundations to grow from, it’s you, Capricorn. But an incredibly important part of that process lies in knowing then and where to trim your own roots to ensure their health and make sure that nutrients are being effectively distributed. In other words, what parts of your own foundation have been outgrown, where do they need trimming, and how can you make sure that you’re nurturing yourself effectively, rather than continually feeding but never feeling nourished? This full moon in Libra is bringing your attention to your career, public facing roles, and the ways you show up in society, and asking you to examine what, in this area of your life, have you outgrown and perhaps need to trim away because it is no longer supported by the healing work you’ve been doing.

Aquarius

Aquarius, today’s astrology is asking you where it’s time to soften your own edges and lean into the ideas of what’s possible. If you’ve been thinking about setting your sights on expanding your horizons, be that through furthering your education, engaging in studying something new, committing to studying a spiritual discipline, or taking a trip abroad, it’s time to let go of any limiting ideas that are keeping you from doing so. By embracing new pathways that will broaden your perspective, you stand to embrace a new layer of healing and uncovering your own gifts. It’s also important to recognize the inherent worth that comes through these experiences and how they can serve as an asset to you and enhance your own values. Investing in yourself, your perspective, and your experiences is always valuable, Aquarius, and today is a day of relinquishing any thoughts that are keeping you from doing so.

Pisces

Things have been feeling non-stop for you ever since the beginning of your own season, Pisces. While it’s certainly been challenging, it’s been providing incredibly valuable insights on your sense of self, your values, and even your own sense of self worth. Today is a day for softening into everything you’ve gained from the past couple of months and allowing yourself to construct new ideas of possibility around it. An important component of this is bringing your attention to everything you’ve been holding on to that does not actually belong to you. What thoughts, patterns, and values have been weighing you down without realizing it? Sometimes the things we’ve been given don’t end up actually feeling like gifts, but rather, are a burden to carry, and it’s time to set some of that burden down Pisces. Today’s astrology is here to guide you through that process of release in a way that provides the healing catharsis you need and deserve right now.
