Transit Update of April — Game Changing Time

One of the most active months with great conjunctions and transits — is April’24.

We also have a new Samvat — a new astrological year, named ‘Krodhi’ starting from the Solar eclipse of 8th April.

Aquarius, Pisces — Aries and its opposite signs Leo, Virgo — Libra are the most happening signs.

Mercury is the most active planet with its retrogression and crossing gandant and its conjunction with the Sun, Venus, and Rahu, also getting direct while with Rahu.

So, the theme of the month will be Mercury Retro, Solar Eclipse, and New Year.

Apart from that, we have Sun — Venus and Mercury conjunct Rahu and their gandanta during this month.

Uranus and Jupiter will enter Kritika, Sun’s nakshatra and we already have Pluto in Uttarashada — Sun’s nakshatra.

Jupiter and Saturn both have combined aspects on Leo only till the end of April and then Jupiter will move to Taurus.

This makes the Sun as a trigger planet and Leo has lasting results.

And now we have Saturn in Purva Bhadrapad — Jupiter’s nakshatra.

Apart from that, there are game-changing conjunctions of Saturn — Mars in Aquarius and Jupiter — Uranus in Aires.

Fiery Mars getting in watery Pisces is no less than gandanta.

Looks like surplus and intense energies are going to rule April.

With all the significant conjunctions, there can be blended and mixed energies.

We can expect some interesting twists, some rises, surprises, with sudden changes, or even downfalls, depending on our personal chart and dasha period

We may lose our patience faster than normal. But consciously, stay calm.

We have retro Mercury and Rahu in Mercury’s nak. Expect confusion, duality, and no clarity.

The total solar eclipse is in Revati — Mercury’s nak. Check, recheck, and think twice about everything, and do not act on all your thoughts.

Be mindful, slow, use your knowledge, and then act smartly with intelligence.

Understand that everyone will experience major change somewhere in their life and also a new beginning.

Numerologically, April comes at no 4…

It is a number of constructions, stability, law and order, putting foundation, and having justice…

Expect to have a strong base for your grand future with this month…

Use this structured energy of number 4 while handling any chaos. Go step by step, to avoid any confusion.

Throughout April we will deal with strong transformative energies.

We start the month with Mercury retrogression in Ashwini Nakshatra.

Mercury governs travel, documentation, education, trading, communication, our thinking, and when retrograde, it tends to disrupt the flow of these significations

Our approach can be more impulsive and prone to misunderstandings.

We may speak without thinking, leading to conflicts or arguments.

There’s a risk of making hasty or impulsive decisions without fully considering the consequences.

It’s essential to slow down, and carefully evaluate options before taking action.

It is best to take hold of the situation to avoid unnecessary conflict or setbacks.

If you are aware and careful from the start, taking proactive steps then you can prevent misunderstanding.

There are series of transits, one after another and all are significant.

Be alert, calm, and prepare yourself for any sudden event as far as possible.

Jupiter is now in Scorpio nav — 8th from its placement till 17th Ap. Jupiter is mentally preparing us to face changes.

On 2nd April Uranus will leave Bharani for the next 84 years and will get back to Kritika.

Uranus was retrograded earlier in Kritika from June to November 2023.

Now while in direct motion, we shall have the results and change that we anticipated at that time.

Then we have Sun conj Rahu in Pisces @ 21° on 5th April. Expect some revelation of hidden matter.

Some truth can come to the surface that can change the status quo.

Both Sun and Rahu are in Revati and Mercury is retro in Aires. The purpose of Mercury retrogression can be clear with this conjunction. Now work on it.

Another important transit is of Saturn in Purva Bhadra — Jupiter’s nak on 6th April for one long year.

This can be the most supportive transit in April. It signifies a period of intense spiritual growth, karmic lessons, and disciplined inner work.

Saturn in Purva Bhadrapad nak will encourage us to start acknowledging transformation and fulfill any tough responsibilities with dedication.

Saturn will be in Aries navamsa for the entire April, so internally it’s not a feel-good factor for Saturn.

The same day Venus will conjunct Neptune in Uttara Bhadrapada — Saturn’s nak and will give us the much-needed reality check.

Then we have a total solar eclipse in Pisces Revati nak and also a new samvat 2081 named ‘Krodhi’

Now, the energies are transforming in nature, with the eclipse and the new samvat astrological year.

The name — “Krodhi’ says a lot about it.

Krodhi means angry temperament that comes from frustration, and helplessness because of other’s cruel and unkind behavior.

Our responses may change with this and the way we feel about the same situation can be different now…

We may experience a lot of new things which initially can create instability.

So, be slow in reacting, stay balanced, and have patience till you have some clarity… let the new energy settle.

We have retro Mercury re-entering Pisces, on the 9th, crossing gandant. Give a second thought to nearly everything.

And then, there is the Mars — Saturn conjunction in Aquarius and the Sun-Mercury conjunction in Pisces.

With any conjunction there is combined, mixed energy of the planets.

When Mars conjuncts Saturn then the time demands great effort in any task.

It calls for disciplined action and strategic planning.

Certainly, there will be push and pull impact, creating delays and repetition as we have combust retro Mercury.

It’s time to use innovative thinking to address any challenges.

Expect complete change in the way you express yourself with the Sun crossing Pisces gandant and its transit to its exaltation sign Aires on 14th April.

It’s a time of new beginnings at a soul level, growth, and self-discovery.

We will be encouraged to take bold action and pursue our goals or any new opportunities with enthusiasm, courage, and confidence.

It’s a new cycle for the Sun through the zodiac. There will be a positive change in energy. Health will be good. Quick and spontaneous decisions can be made.

And now the Sun is with Jupiter and Uranus in Aires, though they are far from the Sun degree-wise, but both Jupiter and Uranus are in Kritika.

Expect new opportunities, growth, and adventure. It’s a time of optimism, passion, and a willingness to welcome any tough change.

And we can see some result or sudden change in the situation with Jupiter and Uranus conj around 20th April.

It is a rare and powerful conjunction that happens every 14 years. The last time it happened in Pisces was around June 2010.

It’s a time for personal and collective growth but through transformation. There can be expansion, innovation, and bold action in Aries.

See, Jupiter is involved here so even if the change appears to be hard, it is in the best interest of you in the long run.

Currently when we have this conjunction in Aires and also when Sun — their nak lord is with them in Aries, is the right time to change your direction wholeheartedly and shape your future by taking bold steps.

Let go and release any stubborn attitude. We have Mars — lord of Aires entering Pisces, Jupiter’s sign on the 23rd.

When Mars is in Pisces, a dual sign, there may be a tendency to feel uncertain about the best course of action or direction to take.

It’s important to trust intuition and allow guidance to emerge from within. Mars in Pisces will encourage us to let go and seek deeper meaning in life.

But before this, around 18th April there is a close conjunction of Venus with retro Mercury and Rahu in Pisces.

When Venus, the planet of love and harmony… and Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect… conjunct with Rahu, associated with desires and cravings… in Pisces, there’s an increased sensitivity in our emotions, relations, and communication.

Mercury is slowing down, getting stationary and Venus going ahead toward its exaltation.

It’s a favorable time for heart-to-heart conversations, emotional expression, and connecting on a soul level.

Soon, Venus leaves Pisces, crosses gandanta, and starts a new cycle…. All the slow-moving planets are one by one starting their new cycle.

Mars will also move to Aires in May. So, the indication is very clear of a new start in our life with all its signification.

On top of it, there is a full moon in Libra — Swati nak on the 24th… giving a finishing touch to all those intense energies.

A full moon in Libra brings our focus on balance, relationships, and justice.

It’s a time to cultivate harmony in our lives, resolve conflicts with grace and diplomacy, strive for fairness and equality in our interactions with others.

Direct Mercury on 25th April will help us to channel our thoughts and actions.

Direct Mercury will bring clarity in the way we think, communicate, and process information.

But still, we have Mercury Rahu close to each other so choose words carefully and communicate with kindness & tact.

Lastly on, 29th April Mars will conjunct Neptune in Pisces, Uttara Bhadrapad.

Be mindful of reality and fantasy. There’s a risk of getting lost in illusions.

It’s important to stay grounded and maintain clarity of vision.

All in all, the entire month is a happening one.

It is preparation time for the upcoming transits which can be very active and can bring new changes.

We have Jupiter entering Taurus on 2nd May and the same day Pluto gets retro. Expect 180 degrees of change and action-oriented time ahead.
