The Cardinal clashes of April 2020

The Sun is currently in Aries, and on April 11, Mercury enters Aries as well and we are in the Aries season. Aries rules the first house of the zodiac or the self, and its planetary ruler is Mars, the planet of action, aggression and the ruler of young men. Aries is a fire sign that can denote bravery, as well as impatience.

The sign and planets in Aries create a square or a clash with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn all in Capricorn. These planets together-along with Neptune in Pisces-are responsible for state of the world at this time. The Sun and Mercury clash with each of these powerful planets. When they do we will encounter more news and obstacles as a collective, and they will affect our personal lives as well.

There will also be a clash of mutable planets when the Sun and Mercury move into Taurus. I will list those as well.

Some of these dates will deal with news of Covid-19, but it is not limited to this.

Here is a rundown of what’s coming:

April 14-The Sun squares Pluto. This is an intense day and we can look for issues concerning power and control, corruption, loss, endings and this will be a major news day. On a personal level this is a day to be aware of your ego as well as others. Some things could transform or change.

April 15, The Sun squares Jupiter. This is typically pleasant although things could be blown out of proportion. We could hear news of courts and the law. Overindulge and you will pay the piper later.

April 21-The Sun in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius. This is tiring, negative energy prone to having to deal with responsibilities. News of money, financial markets.

April 25-Mercury squares Pluto and Pluto retrogrades. Another major news day with obsessive overtones. New information will be revealed.  Pluto rules death, control and power. This can be a day of deep digging for an answer and in this respect can be successful. With Pluto’s retrograde we will have to back up and reconsider our options but Pluto will move back at the point it has been this spring (24 degrees of Capricorn) by late December and at that time it will be determined what we have learned and how far we have advanced.

April 26-Mercury squares Jupiter and the Sun conjuncts Uranus. Sun conjunct Uranus has do with sudden and unexpected news. It could deal with financial markets, inventions, money or earth related events. Uranus rules explosions, explosive circumstances, coups, aircraft, earthquakes, electronic communication. Mercury square Jupiter is typically pleasant but can blow things out of proportion. This can be a day of abrupt changes or excitement and taking new and different approaches.

April 28-Mercury squares Saturn. This is a tiring, draining and potentially discouraging day. Responsibilities are front and center.

April 30-Mercury conjuncts Uranus –Sudden and unexpected news that could relate to finance or earth related matters. Brilliance can be revealed on a transit like this, but it can make some nervous and jittery.
