THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for April 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for April 2022

Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter

The war in Ukraine leaves no doubt: We are in a phase of profound social transformation. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January 2020 and the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in December of the same year can be understood as the starting point. Both constellations point to fundamental shifts in power structures. While it was to be expected that this would not happen without major upheavals, the shock of a war in Europe with many civilian casualties is nevertheless great. We have to find our way in a new chapter of a story in which we are all entangled.

Aries, Chiron, Mercury

The Aries New Moon on April 1 is conjunct Mercury and Chiron. The deep wound that may now become visible also has to do with experiences far in the past. It is important to allow the grief and pain to be expressed, for acceptance of the hurt is a prerequisite for true healing. Many voices are now calling for peace to be made. However, Mars conjoins Saturn in Aquarius on April 5. Much ideological harshness, ignorance and delusion could become apparent. Where this tough facade of supposed superiority becomes brittle, powerlessness is revealed. Venus enters Pisces on the same day. She points to the path of uncompromising compassion.

Jupiter and Neptune 

Compassion is also indicated by the conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune, which becomes exact on April 12. This encounter is the conclusion and new beginning of a roughly 12-year cycle whose themes include hope, longing and faith, as well as illusions, delusions and listlessness. People with a spiritual practice could have extraordinary experiences during these days and experience a deep reconnection to divine presence. Beware, however, of projecting your personal spiritual experiences into the world. Indeed, as Mars also enters Pisces on April 15, a depressing experience of powerlessness and disillusionment could follow. Especially during the Libra Full Moon on April 16, as well as the following days, it will again be about asserting worldly power. Both the Full Moon and the Sun's entry into Taurus occur in square to Pluto in Capricorn. It is likely that during these days personal interests will be enforced firmly and without consideration.

Taurus

On April 30, a second New Moon takes place - this time in Taurus. It is in wide conjunction with Uranus and is joined by a solar eclipse (visible only in southern South America and Antarctica). Mercury enters Gemini, Venus is exactly conjunct Jupiter and close to Neptune. Pluto turns retrograde on the same day (until October 9). A conjunction of Jupiter and Venus - the major and minor fortunes - is considered one of the best astrological aspects ever for lovers. Eclipses are powerful energetic events that can openly reveal for a moment what lies in the dark. The simultaneity of an eclipse with a conjunction of Venus, Neptune and Jupiter is very rare. Therefore, it is difficult to say anything more precise about this quality of time. Surrender to life with confidence during these days, but observe what is happening with open eyes and don't forget to use your common sense. The only miracle to be taken seriously at this time could take place in the depths of your soul.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for March 2022

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

The quality of time of this month is dynamic and complex, and it is hardly possible to capture and describe it conclusively. The events of this month may contain some key moments that may not be recognized as such until later. The main impulses come from three strong conjunctions in the zodiac signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Foundation stones are being laid now that will shape events throughout the year and beyond.

It begins with the Pisces New Moon on March 2, in conjunction with Jupiter (orb of 2 degrees). Saturn and Mercury are in exact conjunction in Aquarius at the same time, Mars and Venus form a conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn, exact March 3.

Pluto, Venus and Mars

It's a magical time, literally: with alert confidence and a clear mind, actions can now be taken that have a decidedly powerful effect. Be aware, however, that unconscious fears and entanglements will have as real an impact as love and respect. The Venus-Mars-Pluto conjunction at almost 28° Capricorn has great incendiary power, and since its shadow side indicates, among other things, great greed, this could also be a time of messy and dangerous disputes, especially where (perceived or real) privilege and existing power relationships are challenged. The conjunction also occurs on the Pluto of the US national chart (July 4, 1776, 17:10h, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Astrodatabank: USA No. 1). Political conflicts could reach another climax during this time, with consequences for the whole world community.

Sun and Jupiter

The Sun conjoins Jupiter in Pisces on March 5, underscoring the importance of trust and confidence, especially in times of transformation. A day later, Venus and Mars, still in close conjunction, enter Aquarius together. They thus reach exactly the position of the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of December 21, 2020, which can be understood as the beginning of the current turning point. It is about a gradual transformation of our materialistic world view towards more idealistic and spiritual values. During these days the topics of this change become tangible on a more personal level. On the one hand, it is about the tension between community interests and private demands, but also about how to deal with technological progress.

Aries

On March 10, Mercury enters Pisces. Three days later, the Sun reaches its conjunction with Neptune in Pisces. Some tend to lose themselves in dreams now, others experience a welcome deepening of their spiritual practice. This somewhat lucid quality of time will stay with us for a few days. However, with the Virgo Full Moon on March 18, the quality of time will again be characterized by more tangible impulses. Moreover, on March 20, the Sun enters Aries, and the astrological start of the year indicates a great desire for adventure. Venus and Mars in Aquarius are still close together, squaring Uranus (Venus on March 19, Mars on March 22). A great lust for life is palpable! Relationships with stable foundations can now experience a welcome revival, but new relationships are also favored at this time. Whether they deliver what they promise may become apparent a few days later, when Venus conjoins Saturn on March 28 and demands a more sober view of events.
