April 2024 Astrological Forecast
OVERVIEW
From April 2, Mercury, planet of communications, plans, and deals, will retrograde (negative). Do take care throughout this month with all activities – there will be sudden changes or transformations over important issues. April will influence the beginning of a major planetary interchange and new economic phase in the global horoscope. The terrestrial aspects for April will reshape the remaining months of 2024 with an extraordinary financial awakening that will transform local manufacturing, engineering, trade, global wealth, major financial markets and investments ahead, especially when Mercury changes direction to a forward positive motion from April 25.
The most important point to remember for April: do not have too many irons in the fire, and maintain firm self-discipline in everything one does, to make the most of your time and effort. There will be opportunities in April; however, due to Mercury, planet of communication, in negative transit this month, be prepared to drop the old and move forward by the end of the month with the new.
Stand by for many interesting and unexpected restoration and geopolitical changes, resulting in worldwide fiscal implications for new government budget policies and spending. During April – June, expect extraordinary changes and lots of excitement concerning lower inflation, interest rates, the banking fraternity, fiscal lending policies, money exchanges, currency values, cash transaction, stock markets, financial announcements, bank and financial organizations’ amalgamations, and the closure of small bank branches.
Global spending and debt, together with inflation, will need to be continually reduced from April 1, 2024, to April 13, 2028, otherwise the world will be heading into a major recession, commencing from September 25, 2029, to June 1, 2030, when the two arch enemies of the zodiac Jupiter (spendthrift) and Saturn (debt) oppose in the financial zodiac signs of Taurus and Scorpio.
GLOBAL TRENDS
The main force of planetary financial action throughout April 2024 will be with Jupiter (banking-spending) cojoining Uranus (unexpected-change) in the financial zodiac sign of Taurus. Adding to the confusion will be Mars (action) cojoining with Saturn (restriction), covertly forming in the compensatory, health, pensions, aged care, and welfare sign of Pisces. Well, what do these planetary aspects influence?
One, there will be public concern over billions of taxpayers’ dollars been spent on propping up armament, food, medical, and materials for war zones, causing rising prices on the home front for goods and services. Two, multi-millions of taxpayer money allocated to refugees, detention, court actions, housing, migration/immigration, both illegals and legals. Three, billions of dollars spent on agriculture land grabs and ocean venues by government departments for wind and solar projects, instead of using hydrogen, coal, gas, and uranium for the future. Four, billions of taxpayers’ dollars in cutbacks for defence spending to pay back interest rates and debt. And lastly, continued promises but no real action by government for cheaper power and energy bills for industry and householders, including a government shemozzle and disaster for proposed housing and accommodation projects.
World governments cannot continue to spend taxpayers’ money unwisely, otherwise constituents will suffer economically, materially, and emotionally, due to lack of essential services, housing, and increased cost of living. This trend will create disgruntled constituents’ opposition and unsettledness toward governing parties at election time. With Mars (urgent) in transit this month through Pisces (impractical), the global public will want more guarantees for external and internal security, a better standard of living and less waste of taxpayers’ money and the disbanding of political utopian ideas about fuel and carbon emissions and ways of saving the planet. This planet earth has been around for 1.5 billon years and will continue for many millions of years in the future.
Pluto, planet of breaking down and rebuilding, now in the zodiac sign of Aquarius until 2044, as previously predicted will change the world regarding welfare benefits by government, and to pay your own way, for many services. Do not rely on future governments to pay for your old age. You will have to share the costs for most services and welfare, so start saving your money and limit your spending. Economic times in the next two decades will get tougher, people of this world will become more concerned about their difficult economies, creating discontent, and disarray, ending with a destructive economic situation globally and a world war, so be prepared. The world cannot continue with the present debt levels, and this will be confirmed from November 5, 2024, onward after the US presidential elections.
UNEXPECTED PERIOD AHEAD
Keeping a good sense of balance with all personal and business affairs throughout April is very important. Expect a cycle of surprises and sudden changes due to the unexpected in every direction one turns. As previously mentioned, matters connected with employment, securities, banking, money, stock market transactions, investment, manufacturing, and trade will create a mixture of both opportunity and confusion for businesses, employees, and investors. Also be careful how you plan your individual financial month, as Mercury, planet of communication, agreements, deals, contracts, and geopolitical activities, in retrograde (negative) will create frustration, reversable changes, delays, cancelations, stoppages, disappointment, expenses, misappropriation, corruption, and broken promises. Consider changing your passwords on all electronic accounts and devices, as April could show signs of major fraud.
April will be full of fiscal expense and surprise, increased banking scams, corrupt practices, money laundering and lending variations, greater expression of political individuality and broken promises by government leaders, economic debate over energy costs, extraordinary stock market activity, financial discussions and pre-budget changes. Reserve Bank cash rates and housing interest rates are now due for a downward discussion and change during April- June 2024. Expect a decline in rates over May-June-July.
The New Moon on April 9, 4:20 am AEST, in the zodiac sign of Aries (construction-urgency) will be the astrological key that influences global financial discussions and hints regarding innovative infrastructure and manufacturing beginnings, new ideas, AI projects, interests, activities, trends and conditions for May-June onward. Expect important announcements regarding government planning, credit, loans for infrastructure, housing, manufacturing, trade, tariffs, and rebuilding programs for international and local industries during the new financial year commencing in July 2024.
With Mars (action) cojoining Saturn (responsibility), serious negotiations may also influence a temporary slowdown or interim talks in the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, but no complete ceasefire. However, spot war offensives tend to increase when Mercury (movement) continues a direct motion from April 24 onward. These wars zones are very far away from a peace settlement.
GENERAL ASTROPHYSICS
With the recent runoff aftereffects of the March 25 eclipse (past revolving change), April will be seen as an extremely variable month, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, due to the total Solar Eclipse path beginning from Mexico and passing through Texas on April 8, commencing at 1:40 pm CDT, influencing unusual conditions for states on its passage though Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Watch the news broadcasts during this time as the eclipse, together with a bunch of rare planetary aspects, influences or creates unusual happenings for countries regarding the following: strange weather conditions, tariff changes, loans, fiscal expenditure, political rallies, mass demonstrations, voting procedures, the economy, interest rates, government policies, horticulture, agriculture, farming, gas or oil explosions, major transport accidents, commercial and residential fires, bank-gold-jewel-drug offences, a major crime increase, escalation of terrorism, taxation investigations, corruption, organized crime syndicates, fraudulent business matters, stock market surprises, bonds, and securities changes.
CHINA
Viewing China’s horoscope, Jupiter (expand) is now beginning this April to transit China’s financial sector and will influence the reconstruction of the Chinese trade economy over the next eighteen months. However, China has a long way to go before their economy stabilizes and shows a more productive period. Major economic changes will show a positive outcome once Uranus (change) enters Gemini fully from April 27, 2026, for a period of seven years to May 23, 2033. China’s economy will then be leading the world. During this April to December 2024 cycle, expect to see Chinese banks reviewing their business dealings with Russia, North Korea, Iran, and several African countries, especially regarding military aid and loans.
China’s financial limitation to various countries will be a positive step forward for South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Ukraine. Russia will have difficulty funding and supplying their war effort, North Korea will slow down its nuclear missile testing, and Iran will lose oil business. China is predicted to review all global sanctions and tariffs during April to the benefit of many trading countries around the globe. South America will play a future role in oil supply to China rather than Russia and Iran. China is now ready to do business and build their economy. Watch the future relationship between President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump after November 5, 2024; it is predicted to be amicable and progressive.
WEATHER
Weather conditions could be unusual during April, creating unexpected temperature changes, hot one day, cold the next, storms, floods, high seas, seismic conditions, volcanos, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and cyclones around the globe. The Sun (energy), Mercury (communications), Jupiter (expansion) and Uranus (sudden and unexpected) are all presently in transit through the zodiac signs of Aries (impatience) and Taurus (money). The world will be tested with extreme costly weather conditions during April when Mars (action) and Saturn (restrictiveness), Jupiter (expansion) and Uranus (unexpected) come together throughout the month and especially during the 8th - 25th.
The Northern Hemisphere should encounter a warmer spring and reach sudden high temperatures, with showers turning into heavy rain periods and storms in the Mid-West and southern states. The 2024 Northern Spring should be a beneficial growing season with excellent produce and stock prices. The Southern Hemisphere can expect sudden cold snaps and changeable conditions, with windy, rainy periods and rough seas. Light snow conditions in the high country could commence from April 29. Overall, weather conditions globally for April could be surprising, confusing, and expensive for local governments, due to damage to towns and roads caused by unusual weather conditions.
CAREER AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
If you are awaiting a reply or confirmation regarding your new application for employment opportunities, business proposition, housing project, bank loan, legal outcome, travel venture, then be patient as April will have its share of delays and frustrations. Employment during April will be slow on the uptake, however there will be greater employment opportunities available from April 25 onward, once Mercury (communications) moves from retrograde into a positive direction.
Career vacancies appear to favour investment banking, accountants, insurance assessors, cashiers, financial advisers, and brokers, clothing designers, confectioners, cosmeticians, hairdressers, interior decorators, florists, furniture makers, gourmet chefs, cooks, musicians, song and screen-writers, orchard workers, farm hands, agriculturists, builders labourers, trades people, truck drivers, garbage workers, bakers, hospitality workers, union leaders, defence forces, police and security personnel, funeral services, medical technicians, nurses, psychologists, doctors, laboratory technicians, teachers, child and aged care workers, vocational counsellors, and the adult entertainment industry.
DONALD TRUMP
Viewing the US Republican candidate Donald Trump’s horoscope (Gemini), you either love him or hate him, but there is one thing you must give him credit for and that is his business accruement and financial propaganda success. He knows how to make money and he knows where the money is and how to get it and use it. With Jupiter (expansion) connecting positively with Saturn (stability) and Venus (popularity) in his horoscope, Trump is leading the Republican bandwagon and will stay that way until May 26, 2024, when Jupiter (luck) moves into his own zodiac sign of Gemini (first time in twelve years) forming a positive aspect with his natal Uranus (change) and Sun (achievements).
He is now the Republican candidate for president, and with a positive array of transiting planets showing in his horoscope during the week 1st – 10th of November 2024, Trump (astrologically) will become the 47th president of the US. However, with Uranus (unexpected change) continuing to influence tremendous pressure on Trump as the planet is adversely clashing with his natal Mars (opposition), Trump will not have an easy time until Uranus (overturn) leaves Taurus (economy) and moves into his own sign of Gemini from April 27, 2026.
Watch the US economy move forward at a rapid rate by that date and into future years as Trump sets America into a positive new economic direction for the incoming future president. The planet Pluto (breakdown and rebuild) has completed and is now beginning a new 248-year transit cycle around the US horoscope in the sector of communications, AI, technology, nuclear fission, law and order, trade, education, tourism, and transport. This transit will be an exciting building period for the US, together with a stronger economy and a better standard of living for all. Out with the old and in with the new, will be the message of Pluto. Interesting to note, America can look forward to a national wage rise for workers, with less reliability on tips. Trump will be known as the president who signed the most executive orders of any past president. No, he would not start World War III, he is too sensible for that.
VLADIMIR PUTIN
Putin (Libra), with Mars (ego) in transit through his sector of popularity, entertainment, and pleasure throughout April, and Mercury (announcements) in negative retrograde, will give the impression to the Russian population he is a “rock-star” and saviour to all. He will be interested in developing his whole personality this month, including his physical body and the characteristics of his temperament. The degree of his success will depend entirely on his own effort and initiative which will be full of propaganda, grandeur, and total untruths. With Uranus (amazement) continuing to link with his natal Jupiter (fortune) throughout April as it did through election time in March, Putin will keep touring, meeting, and thanking the hoodwinked Russian community how grateful he is for them to help landslide his win again as president and thank them for his trust in running the country. Little do they know that Putin pulled every string behind the scenes to eliminate all opposition to his presidency and he can now concentrate on his own corrupt wealth, without any suspicions.
Astrologically, during April, the real Putin will be encountering a month of change, transformation, emotional regeneration, and worry. Changes beyond his control will generate tension and insecurity. Putin will tend to be more aggressive and manipulative in his speech and will give the impression he is more ambitious, confident, and determined as their popular Russian president. With Jupiter (finance, luck) now moving into Putin’s money sector for the next twelve months, the shocking surprise to all will be an increase of his presidential corrupt salary. False financial aid will also be a Putin promise to the Russian needy and Russian pensioners. However, they may have to wait forever to see an increase, if any.
April may be kind to Vladmir Putin, astrologically speaking, however from April 25 and throughout May, a different scenario will take place, as Mars (aggression) strikes adversity. Stress for Putin will be severe as the planet clashes with his natal Sun and four of his natal planets. He will discover he is losing control of friendships and economic hardship will begin to bite into the Russian economy as sanctions become more severe. Putin will be full of threats during April to June and will continue to threaten NATO, if troop movements or armament becomes a threat to Russia. Putin has been catching up on his nursery rhymes and children’s stories of the three little pigs: “I will huff and puff and blow your house down.” Astrologically, there is no indication Putin will fire the first nuclear device, for two reasons: one, he would fear the consequences for Russia, and two, Xi Jinping and the CCP would object to Russian troops using atomic fission over Ukraine and would be king makers regarding a stop to Putin’s decision-making.
MARKETS
New gems, precious metals, mineral mining, medical discoveries, and AI will rocket new or specialized companies’ shares to higher valuation and profit during April.
Global markets will be clashing with headwinds one day and picking up speed the next. April will be a nerve-wracking month for stock markets and many investors. The declining demand for raw materials and commodities may slow prices during April through to May. Iron ore, copper, gold, silver, lithium, nickel, titanium and uranium could be good investments during these months as prices fluctuate on the low side and level up again by June-July. Dietary and homeopathic supplement manufactures will be on the increase during April-June. Oil may show signs of higher trading during 22nd - 30th.
Venus (money) will enter the industrial manufacturing, infrastructure, and mining sign of Aries from the 5th. The stock market is predicted to embark on a new journey during the 5th - 27th, together with Mars (hectic) connecting with Saturn (agriculture), pushing futures, livestock prices, produce and fuel. This combination will also affect Bitcoin trading, especially during the 8th - 24th. As stock markets swing back to a more positive trading period between April and December, Bitcoin may suffer in value after May.
Be prepared to take counter measures and opportunities regarding money savings measures with home mortgages, financial securities, savings, stocks and bonds, employment, health funds, travel, real estate, and the general cost of living. Positive changes are ahead during April-June due to constructive budgetary decisions to counter the cost-of-living expenditure and build a stronger economy. However, with Mercury (negotiations) in retrograde, caution is the key word in all matters this month. Do not rush, think before you act. From the 25th, fiscal changes show a positive for currencies.
