Your Love Horoscope For April 8, 2025 — It Wasn't Meant To Work Out Before
Mercury first aligned with Mars on February 23, just as Mars was stationing direct.
Design: YourTango What will your zodiac sign's love horoscope reveal for your relationship on April 8, 2025? Mercury has been on its retrograde journey through the underworld; first in Aries and then in Pisces, before stationing direct on April 7. Now that you’ve been through this process, you can finally understand why it wasn’t meant to work out before, knowing that a love that lasts can never be rushed. April 8 through 16, Mercury won’t only be direct in Pisces, but it will trine Mars in Cancer. This means that today is not your only chance to work with this energy, so it may be better to wait until after April 12, when Venus is direct, to truly have the universe on your side in any decision you make.
Time is on your side and no matter how inspired you feel today, you don’t need to rush through this process. Take your time recognizing what you want to do next and let yourself have fun with the planning process. Again, there’s no need to rush, especially if it involves a relationship you hope will last forever.
