An Open Letter To Scorpio For April 2025
Dear Scorpio,
I hope my letter finds you well. April begins auspiciously with you in a buoyant mood and more than capable of bouncing back from any negative influences and quickly regaining control of unfolding events. Scorpio can be a little reserved and keep themselves to themselves. It's not that you are antisocial, it's just you like to play your cards close to your chest because you’d hate the opposition to get the better of you. Consequently, you more often than not, conduct your affairs from behind a veil of secrecy and discretion. However, your retecense can sometimes be misunderstood and mistakenly perceived as an unwillingness to cooperate. It's just a fact of life: but we’ve all got to be prepared to learn from our past mistakes and ensure we don’t repeat them. I’m sure you understand what I'm saying!
Additionally, the first week of April may find you going out of your way to offer your services to someone struggling with some kind of obstacle or inhibition. Each and every one of my readers will be faced with unique opportunities to offer a helping hand, but a common feature will be your willingness to do someone a favour. Yes, you can be assertive and express your emotions with power and vigour. But there is a kinder, more gentle side to your nature and I sincerely believe that many Scorpios will earn the gratitude and thanks of someone to whom they offer a helping hand. In the final analysis, it's little random acts of kindness that really make life worth living. Wouldn’t you agree?
Mercury simultaneously makes powerful aspects to Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus. To me this suggests that many members of the Scorpio community are going to break from routine, transcend self-imposed boundaries, fall in love; take up new sporting activities or initiate new schemes to improve their financial position in the world. All in all things are looking good for the majority of you! However, if your Natal Horoscope is “out of sync” so to speak, with the potentially powerful Mercury Saturn conjunction, then expect the word “NO!” to be an oft repeated response to some of your requests or suggested innovations.
However, looking on the brightside, Venus Saturn energies might indicate that you initiate some aspect of long term financial planning or roll your sleeves up and get stuck into some routine maintenance work in your home, or, do something to invest in your future security. But there again it might indicate many Scorpios are going to take steps to protect the long term wellbeing of their nearest and dearest in response to something they view on TV.
Moreover, the combined energies of Venus Mars Saturn and Uranus will impact upon some intimate areas of life for a minority of Scorpios. “Yes!” Various established habits and circumstances are going to improve in your private life. You are going to feel more grounded and worthwhile. Not only will your fears for the immediate future and your perpetual nagging self-doubt recede; but it will be replaced by a steadfast commitment to view yourself and your endeavours in a more positive light. In short: if you have got into the habit of always thinking the worst of yourself, that's got to stop. Why? Because you are doing yourself an injustice. Self-reflection is an admirable quality but if it degenerates into continual self-criticism that’s not healthy. Perhaps I’m grasping at straws, but are your emotions currently being manipulated by an intimidating partner or was your childhood spoilt by a narcissistic parent?
The second week of April finds an invigorating breath of fresh air permeating your day to day activities. This herald of good fortune might manifest in the shape of a new acquaintanceship or be entirely due to your own inventiveness and inspiration. Whatever the cause you will begin to feel happier and better adjusted to meet new faces and accept new challenges. Moreover, someone older and more experienced in life may offer you the support and encouragement you secretly want, at precisely the right moment. Indeed, their emotional input might constitute a transformational experience, perhaps somehow related to babies or infants. Changing subject slightly: could somebody close to you be expecting the patter of tiny feet?
There is a lot of excitement foreshadowed for numerous Scorpios. Nevertheless, you must keep your feet firmly anchored to the ground, so to speak. For while Mars and Uranus energies might stimulate impulsive - even reckless behaviour - a concurrent Mercury Saturn aspect suggests you should listen to the intuitive voice of caution that might whisper in your ear if you are on the brink of doing something excessively risky or potentially hazardous. Remember, what Falstaff (one of my favourite Shakespearian characters) said in King Henry the Fourth: “discretion is the better part of valour!”
Week three contains a magnificent, and potentially auspicious, Grand Trine aspect linking the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn in the Water signs of Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer. Where do I begin? I think it's safe to say that the majority of the Scorpio family are going to experience a multiplicity of advantages. However, it is essential that I draw your attention to the fast motion of the Moon (it’s the fastest moving celestial body with respect to the geocentric viewpoint of a horoscope: which is essentially a two dimensional map of the heavens as seen from your physical location or birth place the earth). In short: this particular Grand Trine is a flash in the pan event. On the 14th of April it’s not there, and by the 16th it’s been and gone; but the 15th of April is ripe for exploitation and enjoyment (fingers crossed).
Going back to the big-picture, so to speak: an easy aspect between Mercury and Mars suggests that some intellectual challenge will be successfully negotiated. In addition anyone applying for their driving test or submitting their CV is off to a good start. Venus the planet of love and harmonious relationships forms a potentially auspicious aspect to Uranus. Uranus is often perceived to be the herald of fresh starts and unanticipated invitations to step outside one’s traditional boundaries and preoccupations. Consequently, if you are alone in the world and searching for a soulmate I shall certainly keep my fingers crossed for you. But, regrettably, I can not offer any guarantees.
Are you responsible for the care and welfare of elderly relatives and need a short break to get your own strength back? Then perhaps the astrological configuration of Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune (the modern co-ruler of Pisces) appear to offer a possible solution to an ongoing problem. Mercury, Venus and Saturn are actually in caring and compassionate Pisces, whilst Neptune is in Aries and the Sixth House. This might indicate some bold and groundbreaking decisions on your part may enable you to secure a happy and safe home-from-home in a compassionate and caring environment for your elderly relatives; while you have a much needed - and long postponed break - from your onerous and exhausting duties of care. I know you love them to bits but you’ve got to look after yourself as well.
The final week of April begins with the Sun squaring both Mars and Pluto. In addition Mars opposes Pluto. This is a very powerful and potentially transformatory cocktail of planetary energies which you are in a position to handle well, because Mars and Pluto are your ruling planets. So if anyone can handle the currents of deeply felt emotions and primaeval drives it’s you. If you have any big plans or secret schemes to implement you will be chomping at the bit to make a start. However, you would be well advised to proceed with caution because Mercury is in a wide conjunction with Neptune. Neptune can - in some instances - be the planet of deception, self-deception or misinformation. Consequently, make sure you do your homework and double check all your data before you take a leap into the unknown, so to speak.
In addition, Jupiter the Greater Benefic and Venus the Lesser Benefic are both rather weak and therefore potentially ineffective in the current planetary alignments. So tread carefully my friends, tread carefully. Having said that, it must be acknowledged that there is no such thing as an unequivocally bad aspect or bad planet. Why? Because the planets only incline they do not compel. You are your own master and therefore the author of your own destiny. In short: if you are going to lift a red hot tureen out of the oven, make sure you are wearing oven gloves. Get my drift?
With Mercury conjunct Neptune and Mars trine Neptune it looks like New Age Wisdom and similar areas of study are going to capture your imagination and dominate your conversations. This is potentially a good time to get out and about to do a little sight-seeing. If you are housebound for any reason I would recommend you search YouTube for any podcasts that stimulate your thoughts and widen your horizons. And I must not overlook a potentially magnificent Venus conjunct Saturn aspect that can strengthen existing friendships and turn mild flirtations into meaningful lifelong relationships. Potential soulmates meeting in the night and bonding for a lifetime; if that’s what you desire. Have you ever wanted to cruise up the Nile and explore a pyramid? Saturn and Neptune energies conspire to make your dreams come true, while Mercury and Mars inspire and inflame your desire to travel far and wide.
Well friends, that's me all written out for this letter. I hope I’ve given you something to think over and perhaps written something which will inspire you to plan ahead and achieve a few of your long held ambitions. As ever I've got my fingers crossed for you. So until next time “God Bless and Protect!”
Yours sincerely,
Guy Doleman: Astrologer
