The forecast for the economy is good: no price increases are expected, and sanctions in the food and raw materials sectors may be lifted.

But politics is going through a difficult time. Any progress in ending military conflicts will be useless. It's based on the rule:

What happens in retro Mercury - stays retro Mercury

According to astrological prognostics, agreements concluded during the Mercury retrograde, are relevant, but not feasible in the shortest possible time, so they will be postponed or canceled in April. What kind of negotiations were conducted in the second half of March?

  • A 30-day ceasefire on infrastructure facilities between Russia and Ukraine, the agreement was signed on March 18;
  • unsuccessful negotiations on the release of Israeli hostages in the Gaza, which is why people are still dying there;
  • negotiations between the United States and Ukraine on compensation for military aid provided.

All of this will prove futile in the next 2 months.

Unfortunately, starting on April 7, the threat of World War III will again loom over Europe, because after the completion of the loop, direct Mars (planet of aggression) will once again form opposition to Pluto (planet of pessimism), exacerbating military conflicts seriously (not only in Ukraine). The peak of military operations and emergency situations is expected on April 20-28. Critical dates:

  • April 13, 21-23, 25, 27 - Lunar T-squares with aggressive planets,
  • On April 16, Mercury will have conjunction with Neptune,
  • April 17 - an interesting coincidence: Mercury and Mars are at aphelion (the furthest point of their orbit from the Sun)

April 2025: armistice? not heard that one

 

Spring Parade of Planets

There is an unusual cluster of planets in the constellation Pisces: Venus and Mercury retrograde are circling Saturn, Neptune and the northern lunar node.

There are people who won't be envied in April, those with natal planets and cusps located in critical areas:

  • the beginning of the Pisces constellation (nearest 330° of zodiac),
  • the end of Taurus (~60°),
  • the end of Leo (~150°),
  • the beginning of Sagittarius (~240°)

The parade of planets forms a tense cross to these areas, creating persistent and intractable problems.

But there are also those who can benefit from a cluster of planets. If your natal objects are located near favorable zones, then steady luck in business is expected:

  • the beginning of the Taurus constellation (nearest 30° of zodiac)
  • the end of Gemini (~90°)
  • the middle of the Libra (~235°)
  • the beginning of Capricorn (~270°)

To find out if your planets and houses fall within the specified zodiac areas, you can view your natal chart on the site: there are coordinates on the tab "Planets" and "Houses" (the "Longitude" column). If a planet or house is in a tense sector, then regular troubles are expected in this area of life. If they are in a favorable area, then repeated success is associated with this area of life.

As Venus retrograde continues, there is also a strong influence of women on our lives. When the planetary cluster resonates with your natal chart, you'll feel a certain pressure from them:

  • on April 1-2, 7-8, strange messages from women are expected on the Mercury reversal,
     
  • on April 13-14, Venus (the planet of love and beauty) turn to direct motion, being in exact conjunction with Saturn (the planet of self-control and limitations). Everyone who disobeyed the recommendations on retro Venus in March (gave free rein to their feelings or bought unnecessary things) will now get their heads out of the clouds and begin to think soberly.

On the one hand, Saturn cools our ardor and makes us more patient, but on the other hand, it impoverishes our lives, focuses on benefits rather than pleasure. Women will feel this more strongly than men, especially on April 24-25 and 29, when Venus will be brightest in the sky.

In terms of natural phenomena (earthquakes, etc.), it should be noted that on April 27-28, the new Moon will approach very close to the Earth. This serves as an amplifying factor for all kinds of disasters, so we need to insure ourselves in advance and monitor the prerequisites for dangerous phenomena from April 20.
