To say April 2024 is a vital month it’s an understatement.
Until you’ve been hiding underneath a rock – otherwise you’re simply beginning out with astrology – you recognize that April 2024 is when Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in Taurus. The precise conjunction occurs on April Twentieth-Twenty first, 2024, however its affect is already increase and will probably be extra strongly felt within the 2nd half of the month.
Earlier than the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, we now have one other vital astrological occasion: an intense Photo voltaic Eclipse in Aries.
This Eclipse is essential for a number of causes: it’s a Complete Eclipse, which implies it’s by default extra intense than a partial Eclipse (the vast majority 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 now have a Complete Photo voltaic Eclipse, and Mars conjuncts Saturn, to call just some.
The 2nd half of the month, nevertheless, guarantees to be far more uplifting. On April 20-Twenty first, 2024 we now have 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.

However let’s check out an important transits of the month:

Venus in Aries is a good transit to apply emotional honesty with your self and others. Emotional honesty isn’t about making calls for, or making different folks really feel improper. It’s our repressed feelings that finally come out aggressively or self-righteous.

Mercury retrograde, with its introspective high quality, provides us a possibility to dig deeper into the foundation causes of our wound (Chiron) and reframe our understanding of ourselves.
Perhaps our wound – and the story round it – shouldn’t be actually as everlasting or defining as we as soon as believed. Maybe we are able to acquire a clearer understanding. Maybe we are able to rewrite the narrative.

On April nineteenth, 2024, the Solar enters Taurus. Welcome to the Taurus season, a so-very-special season, significantly this yr.

There’s one thing magical about this transit. Uranus brings the joy factor, and Jupiter means that, whereas we might not anticipate what Uranus has in retailer for us, it’s seemingly one thing constructive.
After all, simply because a transit appears to be like nice on paper, this doesn’t imply everybody will win the lotto.
You probably have planets or angles round 21° in Taurus (or Most cancers, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces), you’ll seemingly expertise the constructive manifestations of Jupiter conjunct Uranus.
If as a substitute, you’ve got planets or angles round 21°within the different mounted indicators, this highly effective transit may problem you at first. It’s not that the developments Jupiter and Uranus carry usually are not constructive in essence, however it could not really feel that approach at first, as a result of change shouldn’t be all the time straightforward, particularly for mounted indicators.

Now that Mercury has turned direct, it’s time to mirror on the teachings discovered and transfer ahead with a clearer perspective. As soon as we now have recognized self-sabotaging patterns of considering, we are able to now rewrite them with more healthy and extra empowering beliefs.
April twenty ninth, 2024 – Mars Conjunct Neptune

When Mars, the planet of non-public will is conjunct Neptune, the planet of divine steering and give up, the message is: don’t drive your approach by.
Hearken to delicate messages, look ahead to serendipities and discover a larger goal to your actions. After we’re open to receiving divine steering, our actions have that means and impression.
April twenty ninth, 2024 – Venus Enters Taurus
On April twenty ninth, 2024, Venus enters Taurus, her domicile signal. Everyone knows that when Venus is comfortable, everyone seems to be comfortable.
Venus in Taurus encourages us to decelerate and savor the easy pleasures of life. As native Taurus Dave Gahan says “phrases are very pointless”. We’re wired to imagine that to be comfortable (Venus) we now have to have extra, do extra, get busy, or replenish the empty areas.
However Venus – the planet of happiness and contentment – doesn’t want any of those. Venus in Taurus is a reminder that happiness shouldn’t be about doing – however about being. Merely sink into the current second and benefit from the silence.
April thirtieth, 2024 – Mars Enters Aries
Uh oh! On April thirtieth, 2024, Mars enters Aries. There’s no different planet that makes such a daring and triumphant transition from the dreamy waters of Pisces into the fiery realm of Aries.
For those who’ve been feeling a bit sluggish in the previous couple of weeks when Mars was in Pisces, it will now change.
In Aries, Mars does what he is aware of finest: takes motion. When Mars is in different indicators, we all the time discover causes to not act. Mars in Taurus? “It takes too lengthy”. Mars in Gemini? “I can’t focus”. Mars in Most cancers? “What if it hurts different folks’s emotions?” Mars in Leo?” What if I make a idiot of myself?”. Mars in Virgo? “What if it’s not excellent?”.
When Mars is in Aries, the time is now. We naturally join with that a part of our psyche that’s all the time prepared for motion.
