Where do you start with an analysis of so many geocosmic signatures occurring in such a short span of time? We could start with the idea that Venus ends its 6-week retrograde motion in one week, on April 15, which is a signature with a remarkable history of correlating, within 12 trading days, with either a primary cycle crest or trough in many financial markets. Or we could target Saturn turning retrograde on April 5, forming two square aspects with Venus, April 5 and 21, as both planets come to their stations. Both of these signatures (Saturn retrograde and Venus square Saturn) have very high historical correlations to primary cycles, each within 12 trading days. Additionally, we could focus on the Sun making an opposition to Jupiter on April 7, or the Sun’s conjunction with Uranus in the war-like sign of Aries (ruled by Mars) on April 14. Both of these aspects have an even higher correlation to primary cycles, within a maximum 10-14 trading days, than the Venus or Saturn stations, or each in square aspect to one another. In fact, the Sun is making a translation to the Jupiter/Pluto/Uranus T-square, April 7-14, a period that is expected to correlate with a major reversal in world financial markets. From the cosmic point of view, April 7-14 is extremely potent.
It is not just in financial markets that we see this convergence of energies ganging up all at once. The multiple dramas in the heavens correlate with the multiple dramas in human activity. Not only are we experiencing the threat of escalating military activity as a result of the USA bombing of Syrian airfields (following Assad’s use of chemical weapons on his own people), but also the “nuclear option” vote by the U.S. Senate Republicans to end the filibuster rule regarding the selection of the next Supreme Court Justice, Neil Gorsuch (following the Democrats own decision to invoke the nuclear option for judicial selections when they had the power to do so a couple of years earlier). Then there was also the announcement by Speaker Paul Ryan last week that the repeal and reform of the Affordable Health Care Act will be resurrected and presented again for a vote, after almost everyone recently believed that this act was dead. This was covered well in last week’s column, which stated, “Once Venus turns direct and makes her last pass of the square to Saturn (April 21), don’t be surprised if the idea of health care reform (and repeal) comes back with a new twist. But then, Mercury will be in retrograde (April 9-May 3), so there is still likely to be a lack of all the facts and information necessary to make an informed and wise decision. However, it won’t necessarily stop an impulsive decision, wisdom or not. Patience is still, unfortunately, in short supply when it is most needed.”
And we haven’t yet discussed in depth that Mercury the “Trickster” will be turning retrograde on Sunday, April 9, and remaining retrograde through May 3. Not only is the world being bombarded with one incendiary act after another in rapid-fire motion (typical of the Sun in Aries), but now we have to endure the testing of credibility as leaders try to justify to their populations why they must decide on courses of action right now, before all the facts are known to make an informed or wise decision. This is a time when hurried decisions often lead to mistakes, due to lack of considerating the consequences of those decisions and actions. Those who are born in the Mercury-ruled sign of Gemini, like President Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, are most vulnerable to errors in judgement now.
