Happy astrological new year! Spring has sprung and the cosmos is hotting up. Welcome to your April 2025 travel horoscope.
Now that it’s Aries season, your travel plans get a double dose of determination. Aries brings a restless energy to the zodiac, with Mercury and Venus both joining the Sun in the sign of the ram towards the second half of the month. Thrilling escapades, hardcore hikes and hyper-active, whirlwind itineraries with no fixed structure are synonymous with this season. After all, Aries is an adventurous fire sign ruled by instinctual Mars, the planet that governs your physical energy.
Travelling with friends or a partner? Halfway through the month, the playful Libra full moon relates to your shared experiences and adventures with others. April wraps up with a Taurus new moon on 27 April, when your travels get slow and sensual.
We recommend using your rising sign. All you need is your birth date, time, and location to work out your rising sign. If you don’t know your birth time, you can refer to your sun sign.
Capricorn Rising
Out with the old and in with the new is your mantra of the month. April begins in the midst of Aries season, refreshing your foundational fourth house over the next few weeks. You could be spending the bulk of the month in the safety of your cocoon at home, giving it a meticulous spring clean. Travel for business is likely on or around the Libra full moon on 12 April, which spotlights your ambitious tenth house. At the least, you could be plotting a future workation or a weekend trip that blends business and leisure in some way. The Taurus new moon on 27 April is your cosmic cue to take a step back from work commitments to fully reset.
Aquarius Rising
Hello social butterfly. Last month’s cosmic commotion begins to fade one planetary shift at a time, leaving behind Venus retrograde and all its wayward chaos. On 12 April, indulgent Venus moves forward in Pisces, a transit that urges you to follow your whims and prioritise pleasure. On the same day, the Libra full moon delivers a seismic shift of energy through your expansive ninth house, when you leap out of your safety zone to explore new pastures. You’ll begin to find rhythm again and new hope for what’s to come this summer. Hint: globetrotting Jupiter moves from Gemini into Cancer on 9 June, when your long-term travel plans (re)enter the chat.
Pisces Rising
Spring has sprung and money’s on your mind this month. Aries season encourages you to get systematic with your savings. Though tempting, it’s not the best time to splash out on a long-haul vacation, with Mercury and Venus both joining the Sun in your second house of finances. Instead, you could be drawn to a soul-soothing break by the ocean to recalibrate your mind and body. Halfway through the month, the full moon in Libra spotlights your intimate eighth house, inviting you to pause and turn inward. This is also an ideal moment to start manifesting your bucket list travel goals for SS25.
Aries Rising
All eyes on you! April begins in the midst of Aries season, which means it’s your time to enter the limelight. There’s no better time to hit the open road on a multi-destination trip with no fixed plans. You’ll crave nothing but freedom and exhilaration as more and more planets tumble headfirst into rambunctious Aries. On 15 April, Mercury leaves the muddy waters of Pisces to amplify your voice. You’re a trailblazer setting the course for others to follow. You’ll get a double whammy of determination, when Mars enters fiery Leo on 17 April. Keep your restless energy at bay with a skydiving adventure or a heart-pounding trip to the theme park.
Taurus Rising
With Venus, your planetary ruler, finally moving forward this month, it could feel as though a weight has been lifted. This six-week transit has likely been intense, with a few love lessons and relationship conundrums to contend with. You could be drawn to a soul-soothing destination in light of this month’s Aries stellium, when a cluster of planets fall into your introspective twelfth house. And with the Sun beaming down in this area of your chart, the cosmos calls on you to rest up and bask in life’s earthly pleasures. A Taurus new moon on 27 April reminds you that you don’t need to traipse to the other side of the world to find inner calm.
Gemini Rising
Feeling restless? Spring has sprung and Aries season is here to bring back your optimistic spirit. There could be a build-up of restless energy that you’ll need to shake off at times. Active adventures that let you exert yourself physically prompt you to be present in the moment. During the Libra full moon on 12 April, you’ll benefit from long hikes or high-intensity training to let off some steam. This potent lunation illuminates your fun-loving fifth house, inspiring a creative retreat in the company of others. Whether you’re travelling or not around this period, you’re bound to be popular with spontaneous outings and networking opportunities close to home.
Cancer Rising
Home is where the heart is this month. Off the back of eclipse season and Venus retrograde, you’ve experienced a few life-altering epiphanies. The cosmos is giving you space to breathe while you take stock of how far you’ve come. You may not be in the mood to board a plane just yet, but you can still find novelty in the everyday by making incremental changes to your rituals and routine. Whether you’re trialling a new coffee shop on your commute or visiting a local farmers’ market for the first time, it’s the simple pleasures that bring you inner calm and sweet moments of joy.
Leo Rising
Active adventures are close to your heart over the next few weeks. If you’ve not been feeling like yourself lately, this month’s astrology brings back your innate wanderlust and sunny disposition. Wide vistas are calling as more and more planets land in your travel-loving ninth house. Whenever you feel the need to catch your breath, sunset strolls bring you back to steady ground. Halfway through the month, the full moon in Libra spotlights your third house of kindred spirits on 12 April. Admirers near and far are drawn to your creativity and spontaneity, even more than usual. Lap it up!
Virgo Rising
April is the month you regain clarity and step out of your comfort zone. Even though you love a well-planned itinerary, this month’s build-up of Aries transits prompts you to be a little impulsive and spontaneous. Halfway through the month, the Libra full moon activates your second house of finances and self-worth. Give yourself until the Taurus new moon on 27 April to review contracts and check in on your investments. This grounding new moon enhances your adventurous ninth house, calling for a long-haul getaway for the first time in a long time.
Libra Rising
Libra, you’ll be glad to hear that Venus retrograde comes to a grand finale on 12 April, offering clarity in your relationships. As you’re ruled by Venus, this planetary moonwalk has likely been intense at times, causing havoc and messy mixed signals. Once you’re in the clear, you’ll be ready to reconnect with your significant other on a long-haul adventure – perhaps camping under the stars. Halfway through the month, the Libra full moon shines a light on your personal goals on 12 April. Put yourself out there and let the universe work its magic.
Scorpio Rising
This month’s astrology invites you to break from routine and turn inward. Exercise is both a physical and emotional release, with the Sun in Aries and your health-giving sixth house. And with Mars, your planetary ruler, entering fiery Leo on 17 April, you could be planning a hardcore active adventure in the coming weeks. Halfway through the month, the Libra full moon activates your spiritual twelfth house, intensifying your love of deep, meaningful experiences. Whether you’re running a big city marathon this month or seeking wellness in the remote wilderness, you’ll be pushing boundaries with admirable prowess.
Sagittarius Rising
Feeling confined? That’s all about to change with the Sun firmly rooted in fiery Aries and your fun-loving fifth house. As a born explorer, this month’s astrology gradually brings back your natural spontaneity and zest for life. With Mercury and Venus both joining the Sun in upbeat Aries over the next few weeks, you could be drawn to hardcore adventures and activities like climbing, skydiving or water rafting.
