Tatler’s weekly horoscope: Apr 28-May 4

As the intensity of Eclipse season paired with the Mercury retrograde simmers down, we are now entering one of the sweetest months of 2024. Before we officially turn the new page, April is closing out with some potent astrological transits. 

On April 28, Mars joins Neptune in Pisces, marking the end of a significant spiritual phase spanning two years. This transit brings closure, where we may physically and energetically feel the completion of a cycle. Two days later, the warrior planet enters Aries, signifying a new chapter and revving up our ambition. In the coming weeks, our actions will be driven by passion and enthusiasm, pushing us towards our goals.

On April 29, Venus enters Taurus, drawing our focus to self-value, we may be inclined to treat ourselves with extra gentleness. Just one day later, the planet of love forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius, bringing hidden challenges in relationships or finances to light. More often than not, Plutonian lessons can be hard pills to swallow, but they are also the catalysts for healing and growth. The transformations that Pluto brings continue into the first week of May, as the planet begins her six-month retrograde period in the sign of Aquarius and Capricorn. Whenever a planet retrogrades, it is an invitation for us to pause and reflect. In the theme of Plutonian death-and-rebirths, we are encouraged to confront hidden truths and reassess unhealthy power dynamics. Remember, changes that occur over the course of Pluto retrograde are here to benefit us in the long run, even if we might not understand it now.
