April 2025 horoscopes: Warm days, hot nights

Spring has sprung, so shake off the lingering chill of any cuffing season misfires and start embracing the refreshing and sensual magic of this brand new season. As the month begins, both communication-focused Mercury and love planet Venus are still in full retrograde mode, so relationships continue to be subject to review, reassessment, and baggage from the past. But these backspins come to an end on April 7th and 12th respectively, so be ready to charge ahead when it comes to getting what you want out of love—especially once carnal planet Mars enters passionate Leo on April 18. Summer’s not here yet, but this energy is red-hot.
