On April 14, 2025, the moon was in the sign of Scorpio. This period is traditionally a time for introspection and emotional depth, making it an ideal time for those who enjoy collecting herbs to start their pursuits. However, be mindful of cold feet and sitting surfaces, as they may pose a risk for bladder infections during this time.

April 15, 2025, sees the moon waning under Capricorn. This is a favourable period for manual tasks, such as gardening or home repairs. It's also a good day for Kegel exercises, which are beneficial for women's health. A tip for the day: Let young nettles steep in boiled water for only one minute to enjoy their cleansing properties.

April 16, 2025, is a day for cleansing rituals. Young nettles are perfect for a blood-cleansing cure, and it's recommended to steep them for a brief minute. This day, Maundy Thursday, is also traditionally the day for dyeing Easter eggs. Green smoothies are recommended as a refreshing drink.

April 18, 2025, is a day for connecting with nature. Calm is the order of the day, making it an ideal time for tasks such as driving in wooden posts or repairing paths. It's also a good day for manual tasks like manicures and pedicures under Capricorn.

Finally, on April 19, 2025, the moon is waning under Capricorn once more. This is a favourable period for tasks that help things last well and long, such as gardening or home repairs. It's also an ideal day for tasks that require focus and precision, like manicures and pedicures.

April 20, 2025, sees the moon waning under Capricorn again. This day is traditionally a good day for manual tasks, and red juices are recommended, as they support blood formation.
