Buckle your seatbelts, it’s time for the astrology of April 2024. This month is shaping up to deliver some of the most intense astrology we’ll encounter all year.
It all kicks off on April 1st, fittingly dubbed “April Fools Day,” as Mercury stations retrograde, injecting a healthy dose of chaos into what promises to be a tumultuous month. As we step into Spring and the new astrological year, it’s the perfect opportunity to embrace the cosmic Fool within and shed outdated roles, preparing ourselves for the transformative reset that eclipses bring.
Make sure to mark your calendars (if you haven’t already), because April 8th brings us a celestial powerhouse: an Aires North Node Solar Eclipse. With the Sun in its exalted state overseeing this grand spectacle, and the North Node, known as the “Head of the Dragon,” craving Gold (Digital?) and Power, we can anticipate significant shifts in executive power and authority. Eclipses wield their acute effects during the days surrounding the event, but their shadow extends for six months and even two years, shaping events to come. Keep an eye out for major movements in markets and digital assets, as Digital Gold (Bitcoin) may surpass the traditional King of Metals (Gold) in market cap.
Adding to the emotional intensity, this eclipse is conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer, inviting us into deep introspection and the healing of longstanding wounds. Brace yourselves, because Venus joins the eclipse party in her sign of detriment, stirring up impulsive purchases and sparking an unsettled air to relationships.
And as if that weren’t enough, Mercury retrograde is in full swing during the eclipse, amplifying the bewilderment that naturally accompanies these celestial events. It’s essential to keep our wits about us as we navigate this cosmic rollercoaster. And when Mercury stations direct on the Sun’s degree of exaltation, anticipate power moves in communication, commerce, and unexpected technological and military developments.
Fast forward to April 20th, and we encounter Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus, shaking up the material realm with unexpected breakthroughs, innovations, and radical shifts in our values and beliefs. In Taurus, we’ll witness developments in how humanity exchanges value, impacts the stock market, and influences food systems. This conjunction heralds a culmination of cultural revolution, with a return to grassroots movements and political upheaval that reconnects us to our common humanity.
And with May and June on the horizon, significant planetary pile-ups in Taurus and Gemini respectively will cast a profound spotlight on those houses, ushering in fresh winds of change after the turbulence of April’s astrology. So hold onto your hats, because the cosmic journey is just beginning!
