April 2022 Vedic-Western Astrology Predictions: Potentials for Spirituality

April 2022 is relatively well-stocked with astrological events of significance, but which will occur at both the beginning and the end of the month.

During the first few days we will be having simultaneous conjunctions of Mars and Saturn and Jupiter and Neptune, and then in the last days of the month there will be a station of Pluto and a somewhat powerful (in not necessarily a good way) solar eclipse.

Early April 2022 Mars-SAturn and Jupiter-Neptune conjunctions

The April 4^th conjunction of Mars and Saturn should be very apparent to us, challenging our senses of being able to persevere and overcome difficulties or impasses in life, but the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction (occurring actually on April 12) may temper the wind, as it were.

The Jupiter-Neptune influence at the same time as Mars-Saturn would indicate a greater propensity to bring about more spiritual and compassionate framing of things during the typical Mars-Saturn crisis’s. Hope giving cause for more perseverance and thus success.

April 30 Solar Eclipse, Sidereal Chart CLICK TO ENLARGE

The April 29-30 spike will occur as Pluto turns stationary retrograde followed by a solar eclipse.  Pluto stations make the darker things come out, exposing them for us to address, and this eclipse is in semisquare to Neptune, which itself will also be particularly problematic.

The eclipse has some very nice features: a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter and a sextile of Mars to the eclipse point.  Again, these things conceivably enable better, more enlightened outcomes.
