Horoscope For Today: Wednesday, April 30, 2025

Today begins with the moon wheeling through quick-thinking Gemini, where it will sextile Mercury at 14° Aries at 1:50 AM EST.

Any positive interaction between fun-loving Gemini and adventurous Aries is bound to bring some excitement to the day, but you’ll want to watch for impulsivity, especially if you’re conflicted or undecided about a specific issue. You might end up reacting rashly or saying something that you come to regret later.

At 12:57 PM, the moon comes into an exact conjunction with Jupiter, widening your window of opportunity to cash in on some long-awaited good fortune. On the other hand, unchecked emotions can become especially agitated right now, so if you have a tendency to ruminate, watch out for catalysts that might trigger you.

If there are any miscommunications or arguments, you can find a certain amount of healing at 5:29 PM, when the moon’s tight sextile to Chiron at 24° Aries encourages brutally honest dialogue and intense clarity. Wounds surrounding your individuality and autonomy are likely to be reopened, but the pain is meant to encourage you—to take your stand, step into your true power, and ultimately, gain freedom.

At 7:17 PM, when the moon squares off against the North Node at 25° Pisces, things take a more emotional turn—and you will undoubtedly receive more clarity and certainty about the direction you are meant to be going in, perhaps even receiving what you discern as divine guidance. The process won’t be comfortable, and some barriers will have to be broken in order to reach the peace and joy on the other side, but it will be powerful.

Two minutes before midnight, the moon also forms a square with Saturn at 27° Pisces, finalizing things for the day with a startling and abrupt clarity.

What can you expect on an individual level? The following is a generalized forecast written with your rising sign—not sun sign—in mind.

Aries

Early this morning, when the moon in your third house makes a sextile to Mercury in your first, your ability to confidently communicate your ideas will be turned up to eleven—but you might want to be careful, since your words can easily come across too assertive or hostile, even at the best of times. Try to be tactful and patient, especially if you’re trying to get a message across to people who you don’t normally see eye-to-eye with. If you have something really important to say, wait until the afternoon to do it: the moon’s exact conjunction with Jupiter provides a golden opportunity to share big ideas. This evening, the moon’s sextile to Chiron in your first house brings a clarifying moment regarding your identity—and helps you get all your feelings out onto the table. Remember, if expressing your emotions drives someone away, they are probably not deserving of your time. When the moon squares the North Node in your twelfth house, you’ll likely feel the need to isolate yourself and process everything that has happened. It’s the perfect time to journal or call your therapist for a midweek check-in. Just before midnight, the moon’s square to Saturn in your twelfth house reflects a potentially harsh reality check—one that you will, in time, be immensely grateful for. Seek the wisdom of older mentors right now and try not to be too hard on yourself.

Taurus

This morning, the moon in your second house sextile Mercury in your twelfth brings some hard truths to the surface regarding your finances and values, which you may wish to discuss in therapy or with a close and trusted friend. Whatever revelations you’re having are amplified this afternoon when the moon comes into exact conjunction with Jupiter. This evening, when the moon sextiles Chiron in your twelfth house, you are granted a perfect opportunity to lay everything out on the table and be radically honest, healing yourself in the process. Keeping secrets is a sickness, and you’ll only be free until you open up, no matter how vulnerable you may feel in the process. As you re-evaluate your financial situation, you may find that, with the moon’s square to the North Node in your eleventh house, you wish to step into community with new, spiritually grounded and creative people who can help you reach your full potential. You’re likely undergoing a bit of a dark night of the soul, realizing that your belongings have become too important to you. You’re craving something deeper and more meaningful. Right before midnight, the moon squares off against Saturn in your eleventh house, presenting you with the chance to connect with trusted spiritual leaders and mentors.

Gemini

In the early hours of the morning, the moon in your first house makes a sextile to Mercury in your eleventh, reflecting some friction between you and your friend group. You may find that your friends are expressing their feelings more directly than you’re used to, and you’re feeling too emotionally fragile to engage. If you feel like you can’t handle the drama today, that’s okay. You are under no obligation to reply to mean-spirited texts or passive-aggressive comments. However, no matter what you do, you may find it hard to avoid feeling everything super intensely this afternoon. When the moon comes into an exact conjunction with Jupiter around this time, you’re going to exude and attract a lot of sensitivity. If you get the chance to share your story of healing with someone who you suspect might benefit from it, don’t hesitate. Your intuition is correct. This evening, the moon’s sextile to Chiron in your eleventh house gives you the chance to face the drama head on and heal from it—no matter whether you resolve your social issues or end up losing fairweather friends in the process. You’re most likely going to come out on top, with the moon’s square to the North Node in your tenth house making you more sympathetic to the public and giving you the insight necessary to navigate this complicated situation. However, you’re going to feel extremely emotionally raw throughout this whole experience. Right before midnight, the moon squares off with Saturn in your tenth house, solidifying the work you have been doing to change your public reputation. Your maturity and responsibility will be the focus, enabling others to take you more seriously. You’ve done some serious work on yourself, and now you’re about to reap the rewards.

Cancer

This morning, the moon in your twelfth house sextiles Mercury in your tenth, amplifying your desire to speak loudly and unapologetically about your own personal hardships. Whether you’re publishing a Substack post about mental health recovery or attending an NA meeting for the first time, remember that there is tremendous power in sharing your story of healing and recovery. It’s your chance to provide hope to others. And when the moon comes into an exact conjunction with Jupiter, your emotional vulnerability becomes your biggest strength. You’re not just extending a hand to others, either; you’re also helping yourself by stepping forward. This evening, when the moon sextiles Chiron in your tenth, you will overcome a major obstacle standing in your way to full, radical healing. Later on, when the moon squares the North Node in the ninth house, your intuition is going to guide you exactly where you need to be to find true spiritual contentment: whether that’s another country, an astrology class, or your hometown church. Directly before midnight, the moon’s square-off with Saturn in your ninth house promises guidance from creative and spiritual mentors who have your best interests at heart.

Leo

This morning, when the moon in your eleventh house sextiles Mercury in your ninth, you will feel an ease of communication with your friends, who are more increasingly open and straightforward about their philosophical, political, and religious beliefs. You’re likely to find that everyone is happily aligned for once, although there may, admittedly, be some zealotry in the collective. Try not to let any passionate debates escalate to the point where you’re at each other’s throats. And certainly, if your ideological opponents try to come for you, be tactful and understanding of them despite your differences. The moon’s exact conjunction with Jupiter brings a profound moment of deep spiritual connection with your friends. This evening, the moon sextiles Chiron in your ninth, encouraging you to gather with your friends and discuss everything you’ve learned independently of one another.

Later, the moon’s square with the North Node in your eighth house brings the darkness to light—and you’ll have the opportunity to bond even more deeply as you share in each other’s pain. Right before midnight, the moon squares Saturn in your eighth, stabilizing your sense of identity and assuring you that you’ve done the right thing by going beyond surface-level conversation.

Virgo

Early this morning, the moon in your tenth house forms a sextile to Mercury in your eighth, giving you the courage to speak your mind about taboo subjects in the public sphere. If you’ve been worrying that you might be “too much” for most people, consider the possibility that you just have yet to reach your target audience. Someone who isn’t afraid to talk about their hardships, pain, and healing is always going to inspire others, so allow your vulnerability to lead.

Just before midnight, the moon squares Saturn in your seventh house, restricting your emotional access to your partner. Give them time to process everything. They are fighting their own battle right now and their actions are likely more reflective of their own dark night of the soul than anything you did to scare them off.

Libra

Early this morning, the moon in your ninth house forms a sextile with Mercury in your seventh, so you can anticipate emotionally-driven conversation with your partner about your beliefs. While this is a harmonious time in which you’ll be able to see each other’s perspective more easily, it could still serve as a wakeup call for you if you’ve been trying to convince yourself that your differences aren’t really dealbreakers. Consider which you value more: your relationship, or your deeply held convictions. The moon’s exact conjunction with Jupiter this afternoon indicates a breakthrough moment with you and your partner in which you both feel very much aligned.

Scorpio

This morning, the moon in your eighth house sextiles Mercury in your sixth, making it easier to communicate your needs to your coworkers and bosses.

If you’re moving, applying for a new apartment, or putting an offer in on a house, this is a seriously beneficial time to leverage your current abundance.
