April 2025 isn’t easing in quietly—it’s roaring in with powerful planetary energies that demand our attention. From a volatile Mars-Pluto opposition to a fiery T-square and a deeply transformational new moon, the cosmos is inviting us to face our anger, own our power, and get grounded in our truth. In this episode of The Rachel  Show, Rachel unpacks the powerful astrology of April and early May 2025. With Venus, Mars, and Mercury shifting out of retrograde and a fiery Mars-Pluto opposition peaking on April 26, we’re entering a charged moment of emotional release and personal transformation. Add in a tense T-square and a balsamic moon phase, and the stage is set for breakthroughs—or blowups. Rachel breaks it all down, including what Venus in Aries means for relationships, how Ceres in Aries could impact agriculture and food supply, and why Saturn’s entrance into Aries on May 25 marks the beginning of a major global cycle. She also highlights the importance of the Chiron-Eris conjunction, which signals protests, activism, and cultural awakening.

Mars is a whole lot of feisty energy, a whole lot of fight. And Pluto is this planetary composting agent that takes all of the anger and the resentment and eradicates it to clean the slate for something new.” - Rachel  * [06:46] “This Mars Pluto opposition is a time when you can access anger, bring it up to the surface, and express it outwardly. It's also a time when we could see a lot of impulsive action.” - Rachel  * [09:51] “April 26th is especially pronounced for instability and eruption of energy. Incidentally, that is also the day of the balsamic Moon, the busiest phase of the lunation cycle.” - Rachel  * [11:24] “Venus in Aries is a very independent Venus placement. Our relationships need a little spaciousness and not too much together time.” - Rachel  * [18:01] “Saturn enters Aries at the end of May, ushering in a new 30-year cycle. It's a significant turning point in our world and in our astrology.” - Rachel  * [20:04] “We could see a technological attack or an escalation of the trade war. Whatever fury and fire gets sparked is going to motivate people to say, ‘I want to do things differently.’” - Rachel  * [22:38] “Chiron and Eris, when these two meet up, it's like anyone who has a passion for righting wrongs is going to speak out.” - Rachel  * [51:15] “This is a time of planting those seeds that will harvest between now and 2027.” - Rachel  Resource & Links The Rachel  Show  * The Rachel  Show [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rachel-lang-show/id1733918795?ign-itscg=30200&ign-itsct=podcast_box] Rachel Lang * Website [https://rachellangastrologer.com/] * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-lang11/] Mentioned * Shift Network Course [https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/pgaRL/a26992/]

Something is shifting—can you feel it? A pull, a ripple, a quiet inner knowing that something big is on the horizon. But what kind of change? And are you ready for it? March 2025 isn’t just another month—it’s a cosmic inflection point. With two eclipses, two personal planet retrogrades, and Neptune shifting signs, the energy is intense, emotional, and transformational. In this episode of The Rachel Lang Show, Rachel unpacks all the astro-details you need to navigate it with clarity and grace. Rachel breaks down what Mercury and Venus retrogrades really mean—beyond the internet myths and Mercury memes.

Plus, Rachel shares how these transits are likely to affect each sign, so you can personalize your own spiritual and emotional navigation. This isn’t just about astrology—it’s about how you show up during moments of uncertainty. Rachel offers grounded, compassionate guidance for tuning into your intuition, setting clear boundaries, and choosing courage over comfort. You’ll also hear why the March 29 eclipse is a major energetic reset, and how to prepare for it—especially if you’re feeling like the universe hit “pause” on your plans. If you’ve felt stuck, off-track, or just a little more emotional lately, this episode will help you make sense of it all—and remind you that you’re not alone. Plus, Rachel shares details about her upcoming Sedona retreat, where you can go even deeper into your spiritual healing journey.

Sometimes, that's the best self-care that we can do. And there's such a snowball effect. When you start taking care of your body and your health, then your mental health and your energy level for making the most out of life also gets amplified.” – Rachel * [00:39:28] “  I am a timeless human being, a soul.
