Earlier than the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, we’ve got one other important astrological occasion: an intense Photo voltaic Eclipse in Aries.
This Eclipse is necessary for a number of causes: it’s a Complete Eclipse, which suggests it’s by default extra intense than a partial Eclipse (nearly all of Eclipses are partial). And it’s EXACTLY conjunct Chiron. We haven’t had such an intense Eclipse in a very long time!
The primary half of the month is INTENSE to say the least. Mercury is retrograde, we’ve got a Complete Photo voltaic Eclipse, and Mars conjuncts Saturn, to call just some.
The 2nd half of the month, nonetheless, guarantees to be way more uplifting. On April 20-Twenty first, 2024 we’ve got Jupiter conjunct Uranus, on April twenty sixth, 2024, Mercury goes direct, and on the finish of the month, the planets of relationships, Venus and Mars, transfer into the signal of their domicile.
