The Astrological Forecast of April 2022
The spring month of April is the month of Easter, the time of rebirth and awakening.
The first three weeks of April 2022 will be dominated by the strong growth and firepower of the Sun in Aries! 
The New Moon on 11º31 in fiery Aries of April 1, 2022 is the first New Moon after the Spring Equinox and marks the beginning of a new annual cycle.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and carries the power of initiation, of birth, the initiating spark, the power of Spring and the Light that overcomes the darkness of Winter.
A very powerful moment!

However, the strong firepower of the first half of April 2022 will be extinguished in the course of April 2022 by another energy to be reckoned with.
At the end of April 2022, Pluto in Capricorn goes in retrograde followed by the first Eclipse of 2022, a partial Solar Eclipse in Taurus.
On April 12, 2022, Jupiter will make a rare exact conjunction with Neptune in Pisces on 23º58, a conjunction of spiritual awakening. This only happens once in a lifetime! During the entire weekend from April 9 to April 12, 2022, the North Node will also be at 23º Taurus and South Node at 23º Scorpio, wow!
This rare euphoric planetary alignment signals a possible end to war and social inequality, sexual and child abuse.
April 2022 could be a global turning point as this degree will affect the United Nations, the United Kingdom, the Vatican, the United States and Australia.
On a larger scale, we may see this beneficial conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces as a push in the right direction.
Now that the war in Ukraine has left the world unbalanced and many are experiencing the ill effects of the pandemic, there is a great need for certainty, comfort, safety and redemption.
Jupiter in Pisces reinforces the desire to unite, rather than divisive.
The time has come to open ourselves to all the blessings and abundant energy that we may now receive. However, the illusion of unity can turn into grief over division and even further polarization.
The undue influence of Jupiter in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces, in addition to an unprecedented creative and spiritual impulse, can also lead to unprecedented flooding and an enormous influx of refugees as a result of war, global conflicts, overpopulation, food scarcity and climate change, viruses and nuclear threats.
Economically, we are seeing a “wealth redistribution” and skyrocketing inflation.
Due to Jupiter conjunct Neptune in Pisces, in a world of fear and conflict, there is an unprecedented desire to escape the harsh reality through a penchant for “glamor” and “illusion”, a huge increase in lonely and confused people, alcohol, drugs and gambling addictions.
We are faced with propaganda, cyber attacks, misleading information and confused people.
In addition to the weather, rivers and oceans, Neptune also rules over volatile substances, such as gas, oil and hydrogen. With the added power of Jupiter, in addition to extreme weather conditions, we have to take into account more expensive groceries, high energy prices and large price increases at petrol stations.
Just before Easter 2022, Mars will enter the sign of Pisces on April 16, 2022 and will be a Full Moon at 26º26 in Libra. This Full Moon is trine Saturn in Aquarius and square to Pluto in Capricorn.

Easter 2022 can bring startling and unexpected news due to the influence of this Full Moon!
Pluto in Capricorn opens the retrograde season on April 29, 2022, and this energy puts a brake on social growth, transformation and development. Retrograde periods are intended as a cosmic time-out in this hectic time to return to ourselves to understand the how and why.
Capricorn is about organizations and structures and by Pluto in Capricorn these are broken down and dismantled. Pluto is the process of the death of the old system and on the last degrees of Capricorn, this process is accelerating, despite the retrograde effect!
A powerful period of nearly six months during which old patterns and everything that is outdated will be released. During this period, the bottom stone is raised in all areas of society, especially those that symbolize the opposite sign of Cancer. Many have been forced by war and violence to leave home and hearth and lead a nomadic existence.
Issues involving power, abuse of power or manipulation will come to the fore during this time.

On April 30, 2022, a partial Solar Eclipse will occur on 10º28 in Taurus.
A Solar Eclipse is a powerful New Moon and this Eclipsed New Moon is also special, as it is the second New Moon of April 2022.
The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus of November 19, 2021 was the first of a series of four Eclipses in Taurus, the next will be this Solar Eclipse on April 30, 2022, followed by the Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on November 8, 2022, followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023.
The April 30, 2022 partial solar eclipse in Taurus conjuncts Uranus and the North Node in Taurus and squares Saturn in Aquarius.
Taurus rules money, assets, global currencies, stock markets, procedures and structures, real estate markets, so be prepared for great turmoil during these Eclipses as buildings, financial institutions and even governments or royalty can literally shake to their foundations during this period.
This explosive and cosmic event is about taking responsibility for
ourselves, but also for others when they are unable or unwilling to do so.
Eclipses are markers of time, as they bring things to light and reveal things that we have not seen before and are indicators of significant events.
In this absurd and polarized world, it’s not easy to stand your ground in the midst of the plutonic chaos.
What is truth, what can we believe or not believe? To what point are we led and by whom or what?
Let’s not forget that in a world of twisted truths, we have the freedom to speak our own truths.
Especially now it is important to find the truth in ourselves, being open to each other and to respect each other’s opinions.
