Monthly Predictions & Spiritual Insights: April 2024

April is the turning point for this year. This month, two powerful astrological events will change the world forever. One is the solar eclipse in Pisces on April 8, and the other is the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction on April 20th. This entire month will be hugely intense with major events that rock the world.
Normally, the exact time of an event like an eclipse or major conjunction does not mark the day but rather begins the onset of changes that will evolve.

The solar eclipse in Pisces is dramatic because the new Moon in Pisces is called the Vedic Yearly Chart. Every year when the new Moon is in Pisces, this chart becomes the chart that predicts what will be happening for an entire year.
The new Moon in Pisces occurs either in March or April, but it is only every 18½ years that the yearly chart can be an eclipse. This is because Rahu and Ketu take 18½ years to go through all 12 signs and return to Pisces.
Eclipses occur where the nodes of the Moon, Rahu, and Ketu are with the Sun and Moon. This indicates the year to come will be off-the-charts critical and intense.

This yearly chart can be calculated for the longitude and latitude of whatever country is in question. This analysis is done for Washington DC since it is the capital of the United States, and this predicts the future of this country.
Looking at this chart, the most intense conjunction is Mars conjunct Saturn. We can read this chart as though it were a birth chart, using the houses to better understand what is in store for the United States for the year.

Changes in Laws and Leadership
|
|
The total solar eclipse occurs in the 9th house, which indicates many changes in legalities and rules. The ruler of the 9th house of the law is Jupiter and it sits in the 10th house of government ruling. This means many laws and rules will change in the United States.
|
|
Uranus is the planet of unexpected and sudden changes, and it is in the 10th house of leaders of the government, specifically the President.
Mars rules the 10th house of the government and the President and sits in the 8th House of endings, conjunct tightly with Saturn, the planet of endings and death.
This all indicates there will be a sudden change with great disruption and chaos that will occur within the government and the leaders in the United States of America.
The 8th house is also the house of corruption and deep dark secrets. This chart is extremely clear as to the many problems that the United States is facing.

Mercury is retrograde most of this month, and on the day of the eclipse it is at 0° of Aries. This is gandanta, indicating turmoil and extreme emotional upsets around the world.
Mercury rules communications, and this indicates how communications are emotional and messed up. We are not getting the full truth, and it appears that it is intentionally withheld.
|
|
|
Mars is conjunct Saturn, indicating major setbacks and problems. It also aspects Ketu by its 8th full aspect. This is another indication of great loss, turmoil, and problems, particularly around the area of health and healing. There may be another threat of some type of disease, pandemic, or war.
On April 20, Jupiter and Uranus will conjunct 27° of Aries in the nakshatra Krittika. This nakshatra is very intense; the symbol is a blade. It can deal with violence and destruction. This conjunction in the sign of Aries’s new beginnings indicates a major awakening. Uranus rules technology, electricity, and unexpected and sudden events that strike – like lightning. Throughout the year, many things will happen in accordance with the meanings of these two planets coming together that will concern shocking events.
|
|
Uranus also rules visionaries, futuristic events, and astrology. All these things will be opening us up to a new world, a new vision.
As I have been predicting for a while, we must first go through a cleansing, and this means the destruction of the old. What is evolving out of the destruction is a new and better world, but this involves a very painful birthing process. There is no going back; the change and transformation have begun.

Similar Times in Recent History
|
|
The last times that the eclipses were occurring with Rahu in Pisces and Ketu in Virgo (18 ½ years ago) were the years of 2005 through 2006, 1986 through 1987, and then again 1968 through 1969. A major event that occurred in 2005 was Hurricane Katrina. An event that occurred in 1987 was a serious stock market crash, and also Ronald Reagan opening the Berlin Wall. In 1968, there were two assassinations – Martin Luther King Junior and Robert Kennedy. Another interesting event that occurred while Rahu was in Pisces and Ketu in Virgo was in 1912 when the Titanic sank.
All these events should shed light on some of the serious things that may occur from 2024 until the end of May 2025. In other words, we are looking at extreme events concerning storms and hurricanes, the fall of the stock market, and assassinations. This April eclipse begins the intensity of what’s to come over the next year.

This total solar eclipse has an eclipse path that crosses across the middle of the U.S., beginning in Texas from the border.
The eclipse path of the October solar eclipse in 2023 crossed the center of the U.S. as well, forming an X right through Texas.
|
|
|
The eclipse path is simply where an eclipse is seen most clearly on Earth. This symbolizes where the events of the eclipse will take place. Eclipses indicate major changes when the Sun and the Moon are eclipsed. The Solar eclipse is where the light of the Sun is darkened and, in the darkness, comes a realization. Something is always revealed that we didn’t know about.
|
|
The crossing of the eclipses occurs in Texas, and it could be relevant to the divided controversy regarding border crossings. This could be the indication of a major split in the U.S. that begins in Texas. The big X in the photo marks the spot where the enormous split is about to take place in the U.S. This is all so very telling about the future for this year.

This month begins with a harsh wakeup, but this is only the beginning. The most intense months will be from October through December. Now is the time to prepare mentally and emotionally. But what can we do to prepare ourselves for these dramatic life-changing events?
Number one: we must develop inner strength and know that we will be protected. Those with good intentions to heal and help others will get stronger and more powerful because the light is becoming stronger. As the light becomes stronger, the darkness and negativity struggle with all its might to overcome the power of the light. This is why everything seems so chaotic, but the good and the light will prevail.
Always remember this! As the darkness and negativity are being destroyed, it will make the loudest impact. But do not worry; you are protected.
|
|
Know that this destruction must occur for the new beginning, and this new beginning is worth going through the dark tunnel to get to the other side. It may seem hopeless, but something wonderful and beautiful will come out of this difficult experience. Know this and do not let the negativity and the darkness around you destroy your light, your goodness, or your healing power to overcome these transformative times.
You are here for a special reason. Now you will be courageous and successful in bringing in a beautiful new transformative world for future generations to enjoy. Be grateful, be optimistic, and have faith and trust that they will be done.
