28 april to may 4: the week your destiny could shift (according to your sign)

What if everything changed in just a few days? Each sign faces its own dramatic twist: fiery romances, impulsive decisions, and a struggle against the inevitable. With an explosive New Moon, a headstrong Venus, and Pluto beginning a slow backward dance, the week of April 28 to May 4 promises to be anything but ordinary. Spoiler: even when the stars shake things up, it’s often to rebuild better. Ready to find out how your sign will weather this cosmic storm?

April 28 – May 4: energies that shake everything up

The week kicks off at full speed with the lingering effects of the New Moon in Taurus on April 27, energized by a tense Mars-Pluto opposition. Between cravings for independence, simmering anger, and sudden rebellions, staying calm won’t be easy. Now is not the time to impulsively sign major contracts or storm out of your job in the name of « freedom » — acting on impulse could seriously disrupt your stability.

With Mars and Pluto playing power games in the sky, any decision made out of pride or frustration could have lasting consequences. The stars’ advice? Think before you act, even if the urge to throw everything away feels irresistible.

Venus goes into warrior mode: love gets a little wild

On April 30, Venus charges into Aries, and the show truly begins. Forget tenderness and grand declarations — feelings will run hot, fast, and a little rough. Venus « in exile » means reacting before thinking, so don’t be surprised if arguments spark over the smallest things, especially when egos clash.

In matters of the heart, you’ll crave bold moves, instant passion, and decisive action. But be careful: what you say or do in the heat of the moment could leave lasting marks. A word to the wise? Count to ten before replying to your partner or swiping through dating apps at lightning speed.

Love illusions ahead

On May 2, Venus joins Neptune for a conjunction that’s as magical as it is misleading. In the moment, everything will seem sweeter, dreamier, and more intense… but don’t confuse fleeting emotions with true soul connections.

Romantics will need to watch out for empty promises and charming words. The temptation to idealize everything will be sky-high, but staying grounded will save you a lot of heartache (even if floating away sounds more fun).

Pluto hits reverse: the dance of resistance begins

On May 4, Pluto turns retrograde, kicking off a six-month period where deep transformations slow down or meet resistance. It’s a delicate dance between what you’re ready to let go of and what you’re stubbornly clinging to.

Unresolved issues may bubble back to the surface, making things feel a bit heavy. Instead of running away, take the time to analyze what truly needs to change. It’s a cosmic invitation to sort, purge, and rebuild.

How each sign will be affected

Aries: Your heart and ego are running hot! You’ll find it hard to do anything halfway. Tip: take a breath before blowing everything up.

Taurus: You’re front and center for the lunar shake-up. Take your time before making any major decisions, especially around money.

Cancer: You’ll want to protect your cozy nest at all costs. But some changes are inevitable. Let them in.

Leo: Watch out for impulsive moves at work or in love. Roaring too loud could backfire.

Virgo: A wave of confusion might sweep over you. Stick to the facts and don’t fall for illusions.

Libra: Lines between love and friendship blur. Keep your heart open—and your eyes even wider.

Scorpio: With Pluto, your ruling planet, going retrograde, expect some deep soul-searching. Breathe through it.

Sagittarius: A project may seem within reach… but make sure the reality matches the dream.

Capricorn: You’ll be tempted to control the uncontrollable
