April 2024 Aspects
As April begins, Pisces, Aries and Taurus are very active. All month the personal planets move through these signs, and at one point there are 12 planets, as well as the Moon’s nodes, located in this area of everyone’s transit chart. In Cosmic Consciousness, Pisces is the last sign in the spiritual quadrant, signifying unlimited possibilities available to us. Out of that we can create what we truly want through considered right action based upon consciously directing our thoughts to positivity (through the higher mind), and allowing our intuition to come through, trusting its wisdom. Our thoughts, which can be viewed objectively and redirected, have an energy of their own that can affect what we feel and how we want to act—or not. With so many planets in Aries, it behooves us to pay close attention to what our thoughts are telling us, and discern whether they are our own, something we have learned, or something we are picking up through others. Here we become aware that we are here to master the art of manifestation out of consciously disciplined thoughts, words and deeds. Aries is the sign of awakening and the right action that comes of it. The capacity to create something new is available if we choose to use it. We have the choice—the power—to redirect the thoughts that don’t serve us or that contract our energy, into something more useful or uplifting, through mantras or affirmations. This requires awareness, diligence and intention; it’s part of our mission now as Lightworkers and Love warriors.
April holds the energetic cornerstone of the year. There is so much energy flying around, and so much to tell this month. Let’s begin with Mercury, who starts his retrograde on 4/1, at 27° Aries. He spends the entire month moving backwards through Aries, until he stations direct on 4/25 at 16°. In the meantime, he conjoins Eris (4/8) and Chiron (4/15), both for the 2nd time. It’s no mistake that this Mercury-Eris conjunction takes place on the New Moon eclipse! Mercury’s energies take us within to reexamine our thoughts and the things that trigger us, so we can explore where such thoughts began and heal them. Are we responding with old programming? Are we ready to change that programming? On 4/19 the Mercury-Venus conjunction occurs; now we can review our values and see if they are serving us.
With Mercury retrograding, Venus is now the fastest moving planet, and she begins the month in Pisces, a sign she is comfortable in. The Venus-Neptune new cycle occurs on 4/3, injecting higher Love and hope into the chaotic energies. From there Venus enters Aries (4/5) and for the next 24 days communes with 4 planets and the north node (Soul Star Chakra). That’s a lot of heart energy flowing through the sign of Mental Power. When we take time to listen to our hearts we can truly discipline and focus our thoughts to create positive outcomes. Venus makes new cycles with Salacia on 4/12, the Soul Star (4/17), Mercury (4/19), Chiron (4/21) and Eris (4/25) before heading into her home sign of Taurus on 4/29. This is an upgrade of heart energy, a lightening, clearing and focusing of what’s important to us, now and for the future.
With all this energy in Aries you might wonder what its dispositor, Mars, is doing this month. He is, in fact, just finishing a new cycle with dwarf planet Gonggong and in a bridge with Juno, signifying how connected we all are even in what feels to be chaos. On 4/10 the Mars-Saturn new cycle occurs. While on one hand our actions may feel restricted, on another they may also feel focused and directed; it depends on your orientation. Sirius manifests with this new cycle, and Orcus makes a Lightbridge towards it. These frequencies can only be felt by those capable of raising their vibrations to meet it; they are soul frequencies. It’s our invitation to realize that our actions reverberate far beyond the physical plane. By 4/19 Mars resources (sextiles) the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, adding unlimited possibilities to what can manifest out of this dynamic combination of archetypes. Our actions matter so much now; they require careful thought. We should also pay attention to what our bodies tell us now, in terms of readiness to act, and needing to rest. On 4/28 Mars conjoins Neptune in a new cycle of putting faith into action. If we can ‘act in good faith’ despite any momentary confusion, we can apply much needed spiritual wisdom into the world. This cycle allows us to act on our dreams, or to Self-reflect on what we want to create going forward, in preparation for when Mars enters his own sign of Aries on 4/30, where he will complete the interactions of the personal planets with the higher dimensional planets stationed in that quality of consciousness. This is where it will manifest on the physical level; stay tuned.
The Sun is the archetype of consciousness and life-force. It provides energy, light, warmth and illumination. It reflects where our consciousness goes. On 4/4 the Sun-Soul Star new cycle begins, reminding us of our evolutionary path. That leads us to the very prominent, transcendent and life-altering New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Aries that occurs on 4/8. It is exceptional in so many ways. Total eclipses provide a total reboot of consciousness, and this eclipse falls in densely populated areas in North America, with around 45 million people residing directly within the path of totality! That’s a lot of rebooting, and it doesn’t cover the millions of people who will be able to witness 80% or more of a partial eclipse. This is the 3rd supermoon in a row, the final one with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth. It is also exactly conjoined with Chiron, signifying a new cycle of major healing and upgrade of consciousness everywhere. Jupiter makes a subtle aspect to this lunation, and the Part of Fortune (destiny) manifests (trines) it. And the Mercury-Eris (2nd) conjunction happens at the same time! There can be disruption in our thinking, or new levels of realization. Since this is a reflection of our consciousness, it’s safe to say that this eclipse marks a turning point in human evolution, which will play out for years to come. We must remember that eclipses create sideways elevators that can energetically take us places we’ve never been and could not have imagined. And while some might react out of fear, we would do well to ride the energies and let them take us where we are meant to go. We are here to hold the frequencies of Love, healing, grounding and safety, for our Selves, each other, and ultimately, the world.
On 4/11 the Sun and Mercury make their inferior conjunction, marking the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde. How fortunate we are to have this time to go within and rethink what we need, how to achieve it, and how to be more inclusive. This is a necessary step, as the 4/14 Sun-Eris new cycle sheds Light (pardon the pun) on the disruption caused by those who feel disaffected and ignored.
The Sun enters Taurus 4/19, shifting our consciousness to a more grounded place, and resonates with Jupiter and Uranus, the two slow-moving powerhouses that are already conjoining together. You can see how the energetic shifts just keep on coming! Mars resources the Jupiter-Uranus new cycle (which becomes exact on 4/20), signifying the capacity for positive action out of this transit; with Ceres manifesting (trining) it from Capricorn, the potential to bring in something new is enormous. At the same time, Mercury and Venus commune in Aries, balancing mind and heart together as we bring the Higher Mind into our human experience, unleashing our creative potential. This is such a fertile time!
On 4/23 the Scorpio Full Moon arrives. Disposed by Venus and Pluto, it is alchemical in nature. Pluto intersects the Full Moon, and Venus is about to merge with Eris (4/25). The Moon is flanked by Haumea with Arcturus’ energies nearby; the Sun is conjoined by Part of Fortune and Eris’ energies. Will we let our emotions run away with themselves, and give away our power, or will we stay grounded and follow our intentions and intuition? There is plenty of potential for disruption; how can we stay empowered? If we see the bigger picture (Varuna intersecting Sun and Moon) and remember our connection to each other, we will know how to proceed. And speaking of Varuna, he stations direct 4/18, making his energies more palpable at this Full Moon.
It should be noted that Black Moon Lilith, interacting repeatedly in Virgo with Orcus, now begins a dance with MakeMake in Libra (3/30, 4/4, 4/27) that lasts the rest of the year. As she does so, we learn more about the qualities of authentic leadership in our Selves, and how to apply it in the world.
As if all this wasn’t enough, there’s another event that occurs this month, having long-term repercussions: Sedna enters Gemini. Sedna has been in Taurus since 1966; in 2023, she stepped into Gemini briefly for a 5-month try-out in the sign of Conscious Wisdom. During her 57-year sojourn through Taurus, we have grown in identifying and using our intuition; and we’ve become aware of the beauty of our environment, how we use or abuse it, and how to preserve it. Gemini is the part of our energy field that is constantly on the move, mentally, seeking information, making connections between ideas, experiences, people. It is easy to get overwhelmed or overthink a situation, unless we learn to think with our hearts, which provides a center of stillness around which our thoughts can turn. Sedna is the Cosmic Librarian and holder of Divine Feminine energies. In a sense, Sedna represents the transcendence we achieve when we let go of the old. As our awareness increases, we elevate our frequencies, becoming the multidimensional beings we truly are. Sedna points the way to our evolving spiritual evolution. In Gemini, Sedna can provide impetus to bring Love into our minds, letting go of thoughts and connections that impede our ability to integrate mind and heart. This allows us to Love with the higher mind, speak our Truth and fully share our Selves and our wisdom. We will have 41 years in which to integrate these energies in this new quality of consciousness.
As you can see, April is a month of enormous and changing energies. This is what we signed up for; why we are here. We are the Light; we are Wayshowers, and just by remembering that, being our Selves, allowing what is, and riding the waves without judgment, we will be delivered to where Life wants to take us. We can do this!
