Astrological Forecast for April 2024
If humanity deserves change for the better, it will more likely happen in April. The most significant astrological event of the month will be the solar eclipse on April 8th. It will continue the “theme” started by the March lunar eclipse and set the cycles for the next 18 years. The mentioned “topic” concerns global change.
After Covid, it became clear that life would never be the same. However, just a little time has passed and we have already forgotten the lessons of the Covid period, when the whole world found itself in the same boat. Truly, people are strange creatures. Even the lessons of war don’t teach many people anything. But miraculously, we are given another chance, and this chance is represented by spring eclipses.
Eclipses show the karma of all humanity. And no matter how we fence ourselves off with borders and tougher visa regulations, we are still in the “same boat” called Planet Earth, in the bottom of which foolish passengers are trying to make a hole.
The April eclipse is significant because it coincides with important and precise conjunctions of several planets. Firstly, there are Uranus with Jupiter and White Moon (Selena). The exact conjunction of Uranus and Jupiter will be on April 21 – 22, but its energy began to manifest itself already in March. This connection brings the opportunity (and necessity) of change at the state level. In addition to changes in governments, areas of legislation, education and travel may be also affected. Thanks to the presence of White Moon (an indicator of light karma), these changes will be for the better.
Secondly, Chiron is in exact conjunction with the Sun and the Moon (the luminaries are always together in the time of a solar eclipse). Chiron in my astrological school is considered a planet of balance, harmony and justice. This presupposes that changes might occur peacefully, through mutual agreements (there could be a chance to end the war in Ukraine, but, unfortunately, this is only a chance).
Mars and Saturn are also in exact conjunction. This aspect is usually considered unfavourable, but, in this case, the opposite can be true. The conjunction will occur in the watery sign of Pisces where the power of fiery Mars is weakened, and Saturn, responsible for order (and retribution) can call the planet of war to account. In any case, this aspect encourages action rather than being in the ostrich position.
The eclipse’s shadow falls over the United States, Mexico and eastern Canada. There is a belief that it is in this area where the effects of the eclipse will be the most noticeable. I won’t argue with this statement but I am sure that almost everyone will feel its energy.
There is another event that most astrologers don’t pay attention to: conjunctions with the stars. In April, Pluto will be in conjunction with the star Altair, which is considered positive. Altair is the star of freedom-loving people, warriors and adventurers. It can give a lucky chance but not long-lasting happiness. Pluto is responsible for collective energy. In this case, luck is given to the warriors of Light. I can’t write “to those who fight for a just cause”, since everyone has their own concept of truth. Let’s just say that help comes to those who assist people along the path of evolution.
Time will tell how people use the given chance. Unfortunately, changes can’t be expected to proceed smoothly. The machinations of “the “comrades” from the “dark side” might reveal themselves around April 20th. The opposition of Mars and Black Moon, responsible for dark karma, will open the way to rejection and aggression. For Sagittarius’ born on December 12 – 14, Geminis (June 10 – 14), Virgos (September 12 – 15) and Pisces’ (March 10 – 13), it makes sense to restrain impulses of anger and not succumb to provocations during the period from April 19 to 21. If you feel unsettled and irritated on those days, it is better not to drive.
Also at the end of the month, Neptune connects with Mars. This conjunction is good for those who stand up for their inner beliefs. If there is stratification in society (and where is there not?), then confrontation between parties might intensify. Remember that terrible crimes were committed in the name of “faith”, and try not to judge anyone.
April is a good month for educators, astrologers, magic practitioners and travelers.
Happy spring to you, and, I hope, rebirth for the better.
