April 2007

 April's Astroweather

 with Guy Spiro

As April begins, Jupiter is still well within orb of the square to Neptune that has been with us for the past couple of months. Jupiter is retrograde, however, and it will back off in intensity throughout the month. As Jupiter moves away from the square to Neptune, it moves back toward a trine to Uranus which will remain with us through much of May.

There will be some glimmers of the possibility of the end of this period of crisis that became so very public on 9/11 of 2001. But as May draws to a close, Jupiter will back all the way to a square to Saturn and we will see a backlash to progress by reactionary hardliners of all varieties. It will be autumn before we see the possibility of real peace, and that will only be the beginning of the end of this round of nonsense. April will be an improvement on March if for no other reason than that March is dominated by the Mercury retrograde. Be glad that at least that is behind us.

The weekend of the 7th bears special watching as there will be a Mars opposed Pluto. This is among the most dangerous of energies and should be handled very carefully. Do not indulge in hostilities of any kind. There is troubling relationship energy as well, and this is a bad combination. It will be a good idea to keep an eye on the 17th and 18th also as there is a difficult complex of aspects that can snag the unwary. There are the usual salt and pepper energies throughout the month.

The most significant daytime Moon void of course periods include the 1st, 5th-6th, 11th, 15th and the 20th.
