PLANETARY NEWS APRIL 2024 from Komilla Sutton

PLANETARY CRISIS IS HERE

The planets are in crisis mode as they gather into three signs for the solar eclipse of 8 April 2024. Most of the planets are facing obstacles and conflicts.

There is a solar eclipse on 8 April at 25° Pisces, when the Sun, Moon, Venus are in Pisces with Rahu – at the same time Mercury is retrogrades and gandanta moving back from Aries to Pisces. Saturn Mars are also at planetary war to make for an exact conjunction on 10 April. Both Jupiter and Venus are in Ashtamamsha. Jupiter moves from Aries to Scorpio in the navamsha and Venus moves from Pisces to Libra in Navamsha – both in 8th from their rashi positions. Jupiter Venus are the gurus and benefic and they support us during times of turbulence. So, we must make extra effort to keep our balance and navigate through these challenging times.

10 April is the Saturn Mars conjunction at 20°Aquarius in Purva Bhadra Nakshatra. Saturn in Aries Navamsha and Aquarius Rashi – despite appearing strong – there is weakness within. Mars will also be in Aquarius Rashi Aries Navamsha – so he will be stronger one in this conjunction. It can bring anger, frustration, and impulsive actions. We have hidden activation of this transit when Moon crosses over this conjunction on 4 and 5 April – days to remain mindful.

Mercury is retrograde and will be Gandanta Aries going back to Pisces – remains unsettled, confused and insecure. Impacting our rational thinking.

Venus Jupiter, the two protectors both are dealing with their own issues during the eclipse and Mars Saturn conjunction. Jupiter at 25° Aries is in 8th navamsha of Aries and Venus at 10° Pisces is also in the 8th navamsha of Libra - both in an unsettled part of the zodiac and not very helpful.

Planets start moving on after 11 April, Sun moves to its exaltation of Aries on 13/14 April, Jupiter will be in Sagittarius Navamsha, Moon moves out of Pisces and life is more settled after that.

We all need to be mindful and careful in the first part of April as the planets are very volatile. Making important decisions during this time may not be the best. Avoid travel and large crowds if you can. Keep calm and be patient as this time will pass too. We should have a plan of how we deal with this turbulent time.
