Saturday, April 27. Mars and Neptune conjunct this weekend and that’s big news. The actual time is early Monday morning at 12:31 am ET and late Sunday night at 9:31 pm PT. Its effects are more keenly felt all weekend but will linger throughout next week.
Take action to carry out your fantasies! Whatever’s in the imagination has emotional energy to be projected outside yourself into material form. Push creative ideas. This can be an aspect to get you out of the doldrums or exacerbates them depending on your mood. If you remain sluggish and tired, then you’ll have to wait till Mars enters Aries on May 1. There can be a new idea, philosophy, or way of looking at life. Perhaps to act upon a feeling of being more compassionate and healing towards yourself and others. There may be an unselfish desire to do more charitable work and take a demonstrative step to reach out and touch someone. Start a new spiritual journey. This is a great aspect under which to explore wild sexual fantasies and heightened realities. The mythological image of Euripides’ play “The Bacchae” comes to mind. A story in which Pentheus is torn to pieces by the women of Thebes after they are induced into a bacchanalian state of lust, passion, revelry and ultimately violence by none other than the God Dionysus (Bacchus) himself. I don’t urge going that far, but it would not be uncalled for to imbibe a little or partake of mind-altering substances. People that are dealing with addiction challenges may find this a difficult time. If that’s the case it would be wise to channel this energy towards a spiritual pursuit or renew a healing regiment or attend a counseling program. There could be irrational bursts of anger surfacing similar to a rageful hurricane on the open sea that decides to make landfall. Remember that scene in THE GODFATHER when Sonny receives a delivery of a bullet proof vest containing two fish? It’s a Sicilian-mob symbol sending a clear message albeit in poetic form that, “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes!” meaning he’s murdered and lying at the bottom of the river! Again, don’t go that far, but be aware. You can believe in magic with this aspect. Show people the type of magic you possess in a particular area of life whether it be through work, friendship, family or on the stage. Fantasy life in action! Experience a version of Shangri-La or OZ. Many of you are still percolating ideas, probing images as Mars plows through this mutable and last sign of the zodiac. Therefore, you may wait till May 1 to act with full force. Saturn is co-present in Pisces with Mars and Neptune, all three currently ruled by Jupiter in Taurus. That would be something like Saturn tempering the gluttonous pleasures in which Jupiter in Taurus would like to indulge. Saturn will either constructively limit them, whereby you’ll enjoy pleasures without going overboard, or negatively make you pay the price in the days afterwards for overindulging way too much. This combination is like good cop, bad cop. Enjoy the weekend and at the very least take a yoga class, go to church, the cinema, visit a museum and attend a musical concert. Go for a swim and take a deep dive! Jupiter conjunct Uranus. The Jupiter/Uranus conjunction perfects on Saturday, April 20 at 21.49 Taurus. This conjunction occurs approximately every 14 years. This is the standout aspect of 2024. When these two independent loving planets meet up make way for the birth of exciting growth, expansion, and enlightenment. This is a combustible combination for unique and original breakthroughs. It highlights innovation and invention and electrical magnetism.
Like all major conjunctions it serves a collective and personal purpose. On the collective level we will continue to see a rapid acceleration of progressive new inventions and discoveries using cutting-edge technologies in a wide arena ostensibly to help us navigate the material world more efficiently. It will be challenging to keep up with groundbreaking discoveries in a wide variety of industries; finance, environmental, food, agriculture, banking and money. Changes will be tangibly felt, experienced - but rather difficult to stay synchronized with the ever-faster pace and revolving door of change. Just when you thought you learned something new it will change yet again. This will be a tough energy for those that don’t learn or adapt quickly, which is many of us, therefore society will have to rev up its infrastructure systems to make sure the population can adapt without short-circuiting. There will be a conscious effort for society to make better use of material, financial and environmental resources. How will we experience mother nature in the future? How do make more efficient use of oil, the ocean, the animals, the food supply and all those earthly pleasures that enhance physical life. It’s an explosion of new productivity that is hopefully cleaner and more sustainable. It also has a chaotic unpredictability about it. Revolution, revolts, and rebellion will be happening at every turn. The combination of freedom and independence combined with the stubborn nature of Taurus reminds me of the French Revolution when everyone was beheaded once the so called “democracy” came into power because if you didn’t align with the “right” way of thinking and the new regime, then you were excised, ostracized, and guillotined from the group. Beware of religious organizations and zealots dictating who the right and wrong God is according to their self-righteous way of thinking. This planet/sign combination can literally signify great tectonic shifts of the Earth’s fault systems so don’t be surprised if we witness more noticeable earthquakes in the coming year. Let’s see what the future holds for Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. How will we invest our money in this world of heightened technology? On a personal level it is important to shake-up the area of life as represented by the Taurus house in which this conjunction takes place in your natal chart. Support, as best you can, innovative ways to shake things up. Try something new, take a risk and get out of your comfort zone. Expect the unexpected and be open to the unusual and quirky. Out of the blue events and opportunities will arise in serendipitous ways but you must be in tune with the electrical waves and pick them up on your antennae. This is a roller-coaster ride that brings in more excitement. Jupiter and Uranus will give you confidence to break free from restrictive situations that have been holding you back. Divorce yourself from ossified and outmoded habits, people, places, and things that have kept you straitjacketed. Even though the exact conjunction is on April 20 the influence of this aspect will be felt for quite some time. The energy of this aspect has been around on a low simmer all year but now it’s peaking in intensity through the end of May. Whatever new beginnings occur between March and June will be felt for years to come. This is the period for planting seeds. The growth cycle of those seeds spreads out over the next 12-14 years until the next conjunction. Here are the future dates when you will see the effects of today’s conjunction peak and grow: Opening square on 9/10/27 at 9.56 degrees of the signs Gemini/Virgo. This will be a crisis of consciousness to take the project begun at the conjunction to the next level. A time to ask yourself what is working and what is not working and what changes do I have to make to forge more growth? The seeds planted on the conjunction have sprouted and need nourishment and fertilizer to capitalize on gains, make necessary changes and foster further productivity. Opposition on 1/20/31 at 19.23 degrees of Gemini/Sagittarius (there will be three exact hits of this aspect throughout the year). This is a culmination and full moon type of visibility of how the new beginning from 2024 is now projected and received in the world. It’s a make it or break it time. Do I stay the course or change direction? How the seeds planted have manifested in the outside world. It’s a very relational aspect. Closing square on 5/7/34 at 3.26 degrees of Cancer/Aries (there will be three exact hits of this aspect throughout the year). This is a shit or get off the pot aspect. It is the payoff of what was started at the conjunction. The final product in its full usefulness and any last-minute changes to reap as many rewards as possible in the growth process. The next conjunction will then happen on September 8, 2037, at 23.02 Cancer when the process starts all over again. It is very important this entire weekend to set your intentions. Do a personal meditation of some kind to make a commitment to the possibilities of this energy. Like an eclipse, some of you may already know what this planetary combination represents for you, but others may be in the dark, anxious as they know something is percolating but may not have conscious awareness of what it may be. Where can you breakout, expand, grow, and experience new ideas and try new ways of doing things? It’s about enlightenment and understanding the options of what your future can be! We only grow by taking risks. Don’t be afraid if the risk doesn’t pan out right away because Jupiter will always say try again until it does!
