Planetary Energies for Individuals for April 2024

Date Posted: March 31, 2024

Although it’s very difficult to predict the influence of planetary energy on a given individual without referring to his or her birth chart the following is intended only as a general guideline. For confirmation, however, you must refer to your birth chart. Based on the assessment of planetary strengths or weaknesses in your birth chart, placement of planets in your Gochar (transit) and ninefold Gochar (transit) chart and the current operating planets, the following may be applicable.

Neptune-Rahu ninefold quincunx (April 14-21)

If you have Neptune-Rahu quincunx (with either of these planets being especially in the sixth, eighth, or the twelfth house) in your birth chart, and if your Gochar (transit) chart is activated by one of these planets, then you are likely to experience instability in your life caused due to sudden change in your routine activities and deceptive surroundings.  Such experiences might turn out to be very unfortunate and frustrating.  It would certainly be wise not to commit to anything new and stay low key and be very watchful during this period.

On a collective level, social as well as economic turmoil in Russia and China cannot be ruled out.  Covert activities around the world may find a new momentum (but because of Neptune’s secretive character we may never know) with regard to terrorism and other international conflicts.

Pluto-Neptune ninefold quincunx (April 13 – May 6)

If you have quincunx, square, or opposition of Pluto with Neptune in your birth chart and in your Gochar (transit) chart either of these planets is active then they are likely to experience a subtle setback due to deceptive surroundings around you.  Such quincunx can become a very strong force in creating an illusion and, as a result, confusion around and within you. It can become very difficult to stay cool, and there’s not a whole lot you can do about it except by not venturing out into anything new and bear with the current situation with a grin. 

On a collective level, outbreak of violence and terrorist activities in Russia, Ukraine, Middle east likely, especially in Syria, Iraq, Israel and Palestine region. Also, the occurrences of natural as well as man-made calamities are likely. Some of the east-European countries, Russia, and China may experience political as well as social turmoil.

Uranus-Saturn ninefold trine (April 4-15)

This is a very good period for those who have Uranus-Saturn trine in their natal charts, and at least one of these two planets is currently active in their gochar (transit) chart.  Depending on the houses involved expect some real positive development in your life.

On a collective level, this is a good period for religious activities all around the world.  Also, this is a great time for the USA to make some extraordinary progress in enhancing her image both internationally and domestically.

Saturn-Jupiter ninefold trine (April 23-27)

Jupiter-Saturn ninefold trine is favorable for those who have a Jupiter-Saturn trine in their natal charts.  A proper balance between the optimism and conservatism will protect you from becoming over optimistic (or aggressive) as well as over protective.  If you have such trine in your birth chart and if any one of these planets is presently being active in your Gochar (transit) chart then you are likely to enjoy this period with full vigor and success as it would seem to come to you naturally. So enjoy! 

On a collective level, religions around the world will enjoy their activities with positive experiences.  People will likely to be convinced with the importance of moral values and will have no difficulty in maintaining their religious faith. 

Neptune-Uranus ninefold trine (April 10 – May 7)

Uranus-Neptune trine is going to be very favorable for those who have these planets favorably placed in their natal charts.  Expect some sort of spiritual awakening, monetary gains, promotions and improved prestige in professional and social fields.  The idea that you always wanted to pursue a non-material goal but somehow could never get started….now is the time to follow that dream. You will distinctly notice and feel the positive energy flowing through you during this period.  It’s time to jump in and enjoy this spiritual period.

On a collective level, this is an extraordinary time for collective spiritual growth, technological discoveries and inventions.  Expect some new important technological breakthroughs during this month. For the United States, in general, it’s going to be a remarkable and very successful period.

Neptune-Saturn ninefold trine (April 10-18)

If you have a well-placed Neptune in your birth chart and is in trine with Saturn, and if any of these planets (Neptune or Saturn) presently active via the transit (Gochar) chart, then you are likely to experience a very positive period in the area signified by the house(s) these planets occupy in your birth chart. Strong intuitive power, very positive environment, and in general, feeling great about yourself and everything around you are some of the symptoms that you are likely to enjoy.

Collectively on a global scene, this period is very positive for Russia and China. In addition, most of the technological areas, especially in medical field, are likely to make significant progress via inventions and discoveries. Spiritual and religious activities are likely to impart positive energy, creating a very healthy atmosphere around us.

Pluto-Uranus ninefold trine (April 19 – May 1)

Uranus-Pluto ninefold trine is going to be favorable for those who have these planets favorably placed in their natal charts.  Expect monetary as well as power gains, promotions and improved prestige in professional and social fields.  The idea that you always wanted to pursue but somehow could never get started….now is the time to follow that dream. You will distinctly notice and feel the positive impulse during this period.  It’s time to jump in and enjoy this period.

On a collective level, this is an extraordinary time for technological discoveries and inventions.  Expect some new important technological breakthroughs during this month. For the United States, in general, this month is going to be remarkable and successful one.

Neptune-Jupiter ninefold square (April 2-5)

Both Jupiter and Neptune are considered as auspicious planets. While Jupiter deals with outward and with material things Neptune’s energy is activated in a very abstract and subtle way.  If you have such square in your birth chart, and if you have any one of these two planets is active via your Gochar (transit) chart then you are certainly going to have a potential for transformation (irreversible change) in your beliefs and moral values that you have been attached to. It’s time for marching ahead with a quantum step in the process of self-discovery (or evolution). Embrace this period with total openness and vulnerability. It’s the time of rejuvenation with a positive force in your life. Enjoy!

On the world scene, world religions are likely to be challenged with earthshaking ideas that they must attend to. Those religious leaders, who are willing to be open minded and ready to listen and act on new and fresh ideas, are the ones that going to be responsible to transform our religious world to a new level. Others are going to fade away with time. 

Saturn-Rahu (and Ketu) ninefold square(s) (April 14-17)

Saturn-Rahu and Saturn-Ketu ninefold square are going to be devastating for those who have such squares in their natal charts.  Anything that you try to attempt will likely to fail or will result in agonizing and frustrating experience. This is not the time to take any risk.  If you have such squares in your birth chart and if any one of these planets is presently active in your Gochar (transit) chart then you need be extra careful. The best thing to do is not make any new commitment, and totally avoid taking any business or monetary risk.   

On a collective level, barbaric activities all around the world are likely to increase. Terrorists are likely to be successful in creating confusion and chaos. Social turmoil in Europe and Russia is likely. Religious activities could get stalled for no apparent reason.

Pluto-Rahu ninefold sextile (and Pluto-Ketu trine) (April 9-19)

If through your Gochar (transit) chart the energy of either Pluto or lunar node is active and if Pluto is favorably positioned with respect to lunar nodes in your natal chart then expect a very favorable time. Such positive events will be related to the affairs signified by the houses these planets occupy or aspect. For example, if the seventh house is involved, expect a new and positive development in relationship area, or business partnership, or success in capturing the audience if you deal with masses. If eleventh house is involved it may financially prove to be a very rewarding period. 

On a collective level, this is a good period for economy. This period is also good for progress in technical fields (new innovations and discoveries) and religious reconciliation.

Mars-Saturn Conjunction ( April 9-11)

Mars-Saturn conjunction changes a perfectly normal and healthy situation in to the one with a lot of tension and friction. If you have such conjunction in your birth chart and if any one of these planets is active through your Gochar (transit) chart, then you certainly need to be on guard. Simply lay back and do nothing.  If you must involve in an unwanted situation, be extra careful and try to minimize the damage. Experiences like fire burns, rape, accidents, theft, loss of precious things, and monetary disasters are real possibilities.

On the world scene, a short term but very intensive friction between India and Pakistan is very likely. Terrorism and violence, especially in Israel-Palestine area will be on rise. Outbreak of an undesirable happening and strong occurrences of both natural and man-made calamities are real possibilities.

Uranus-Jupiter conjunction (April 15-26)

While Jupiter deals with outward and material things, Uranus’s energy results in a very sudden and with intensity. Jupiter-Uranus conjunction occurs once (actually 2-3 times with in a year’s period due to their retrograde motions) in about 14 years. If you have such conjunction in your birth chart and if you have any one of these two planets is active in your Gochar (transit) chart then you are certainly going to experience an extreme transformation (irreversible change) in your beliefs and moral values that you have been attached to. This period is challenging and of transformation.  If you overcome the challenge it’s time for marching ahead with a quantum step in the process of your own self-discovery (or evolution). 

On the world scene, world religions are likely to be challenged with earthshaking ideas that they must attend to. Those religious leaders, who are willing to be open minded and ready to listen and act on new and fresh ideas, are the ones that going to be responsible to transform our religious world to a new level. Others will fade away with time. 

Neptune-Mars conjunction (April 28-30)

This short three day period may turn out to be deadly for those who have unfavorable placement of Mars with respect to Neptune in their natal charts.  Expect subtle but very strong and negative forces working against you that might bring you misfortune. Stay low key and avoid taking any unwanted or unnecessary risk.  For those who have well placed Neptune-Mars configurations in their birth charts would likely to be rewarded with fame and good times.

On a collective level, covert activities will be at their peak. China and Russia are likely to experience some very drastic changes in the political arena which will influence the psyche of these nations at a deeper level.
