On Friday, affectionate Venus will conjunct imaginative Neptune in charismatic Aries, urging us to open our hearts even more and perhaps even escape into a fantasy world for a little while. Our personal magnetism also tends to increase when these heavenly bodies align, which can help us attract the attention we’re after. If you’re single, consider taking a chance and striking up a conversation with someone who has caught your eye. Attached? Try planning a playful outing with your partner that allows you to nurture your connection through shared curiosity.
Then, watch out for impatience in yourself and others when the emotion-ruling moon waxes into her first quarter in domineering Leo on Sunday.

Don’t miss this opportunity to refocus and recalibrate.
Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, April 28, 2025.
Aries
Your confidence is undeniable, Aries. But you could notice it start to skyrocket as charming Venus moves into your sign mid-week. During this transit, you’ll be in the mood to call the shots and will easily capture the attention of others. If you’re single and looking for love, this could be a particularly exciting time to play the field, as you’ll be able to put your best foot forward with anyone you meet. Meanwhile, partnered rams may find that this energy allows them to feel even more comfortable in their own skin — and eager to take the lead as a result. Not interested in romance? Use this moment to celebrate your strengths and enjoy life’s little delights.
Taurus
Don’t be afraid to give yourself space to heal, Taurus. As Venus moves into Aries this week, you may feel more introspective than usual and require extra time to process your emotions. Seize this opportunity to slow down and enjoy the company of those closest to you. This transit could also be a great time to eliminate any unnecessary activities from your schedule and incorporate simple practices that will enhance your well-being and outlook. Then, on the weekend, a pressing domestic matter could come to your attention, urging you to speak up about how you feel. Just remember to express your concerns tactfully and with love.
Gemini
Have you been placing a lot of focus on your professional life as of late, Gemini? If so, you could find that you’re in the mood to switch gears and make more time for your favourite people this week as relationship-ruling Venus moves into passionate Aries. During this transit, don’t hesitate to mix things up with friends and acquaintances alike, and plan a range of social engagements. This is a beautiful moment to cement your existing bonds and build fresh connections. Who knows? One of these lighthearted conversations could even inspire you to pursue a dream you thought was out of reach.
Cancer
You’re already a positive role model, Cancer. But you’re encouraged to be on your best behaviour over the next five weeks in particular, as people around you could start to look to you for direction even more than usual. Pay close attention to how you present yourself in person and online, and watch as your influence expands. Unexpected work opportunities could even fall into your lap. Meanwhile, you may find yourself involved in a money-related discussion that feels like it’s taking you off track — but avoid the temptation to dismiss it entirely. Having hard conversations this week could bring you the financial freedom you crave.
Leo
Where would you go and what would you do if there were no limits, Leo? Over the next five weeks, embracing a spirit of curiosity could help you to eliminate certain barriers that you’ve set up for yourself. This is a brilliant time to break out of your usual routine and experiment with what you can create. Leave no stone unturned — and remember to have fun along the way. Over the weekend, a commitment that you made recently could require your renewed attention, inspiring you to reassess your level of involvement. Remember: if your face is attached to a project, you’re usually wise to see it through.
Virgo
Get ready to focus your mind on your money, Virgo. A financial opportunity you explored earlier this year could regain your attention this week, encouraging you to reconsider certain avenues for expanding your wealth. Alternatively, you may feel inspired to discuss combining your finances with a loved one or business partner. As you do, be sure to spend some time talking about what has worked well in the past so you can move forward with clarity and mutual understanding. Taking a slightly softer approach than you usually do, perhaps by acknowledging your vulnerability, could also help you strengthen your bond.
Libra
Prepare to spread the love, Libra. Over the next five weeks, you could feel compelled to prioritize your friends and collaborators, so be sure to make room in your schedule to catch up with them. Single Libras may also feel influenced to explore more serious romantic connections during this period, while those in relationships could find themselves eager to spend more one-on-one time with their partners. Whatever your status, this is a beautiful moment to nurture your bonds by discussing the issues that matter most to you and perhaps even take up a new activity together.
Scorpio
You take great pride in your personal achievements, Scorpio. But from now through the next five weeks of Venus in Aries, you may find yourself seeking out the support of a team who can help you amplify the things that you create. Lean into your passionate spirit as you connect and collaborate with others who understand your vision — and enjoy any compliments that come your way as a result. Meanwhile, this new cooperative perspective could inspire you to identify some money-saving ideas that will help take the pressure off your loved ones. This is a beautiful moment to combine your boundless empathy and keen mind to help others.
Sagittarius
You’ve got a twinkle in your eye, Sagittarius. And it could stay there through the next five weeks of Venus in Aries, when you likely won’t be in the mood to play by the rules. This is a brilliant moment to add a colourful twist to everything you do, mix up your schedule and eliminate any commitments that make you feel boxed in. Just ensure you’re clear about your intentions so no one is left in the dark. On the domestic front, you may feel inspired to take on a new home improvement project, but be sure to have a conversation with anyone you live with before you break ground. Your ideas will be well-received if you can show that you’ve done your homework.
Capricorn
What are you really working toward, Capricorn? From now through the next five weeks of Venus in Aries, the sum of your efforts may feel a little empty if you don’t have a clear idea of your ultimate goals. This is an ideal moment to clarify what’s truly important in your life, and where you should be focusing your energy in your domestic and private spheres as a result. As you do, you may want to consider the time you’ve devoted to advancing your career in particular. Consider what you need to achieve for yourself — and your support system — to feel fulfilled. You may find that it’s time to do some recalibrating.
Aquarius
Do you have some domestic know-how that you’re dying to share with others, Aquarius? From now through the next five weeks of Venus in Aries, sharing your best home improvement or gardening tips with members of your local community could bring you great satisfaction, so don’t hesitate to speak up. Who knows? Your neighbours could have some valuable insights to pass on in return that will help you improve your space — or perhaps they’ll help you discover hidden gems and resources in your area. Enjoy watching your relationships grow and thrive as the temperatures rise.
Pisces
You’ve definitely got a taste for the finer things in life, Pisces. But over the next five weeks of Venus in Aries, you could be even more drawn toward quality over quantity — and may even be tempted to indulge in a luxury or two. Just be sure to avoid overindulging so you don’t break the bank. And if you do feel tempted to go overboard, try to turn your eye for beauty and detail toward refining your budget. This is an ideal time to set ambitious financial goals that will help you acquire what you truly want — and eliminate any frivolous spending that doesn’t actually bring you pleasure.
