April Forecast 2024 by Jon Parks

3/31/2024

0 Comments

 
4/8/24
A Solar Eclipse in Aries, effective for about 5 months.
A crisis over what kind of aggressive actions should define the character of the nation, the military, & the police, both here & abroad.


Also active at this time:
Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces:  Aggressive action to make government more religious.
Venus in Aries conjunct Neptune in Pisces (out of Sign):  Conflict over social ideals, conservative versus progressive.
Also, we are approaching the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction which we will look at soon.


4/10/24
Mars in Pisces conjunct Saturn in Pisces (exact).     Intense for weeks, even months.
Religious authorities take aggressive action to advance their political agendas.  How does this affect the attitudes ordinary people?


4/20/24
Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus (exact).  This has been building up for some time.  It now becomes intense.  It will be effective for many years into the future.
Normal hopes & expectations suffer future shock.  Important people may fall out of favor, or radically change their political or social positions; previously unknown people may suddenly be important & powerful.
The rules for how power is exercised, & by whom, will radically change.


Technological discoveries may radically change energy distribution or its cost, health care & its availability,  transportation, the application of AI to the internet, jobs, the media, education, public surveillance, literature & the arts.  How we deal with the environment, work, communicate, & do business will be dominated by new technology. 


All this will be controlled by what works for the technology, not necessarily for the good of people in general.  Invention can be both very good & very dangerous.  What will be the unintended consequences?


Conservatives versus progressives will have very different ideas about all of these things & how they should organize society & how we should live according to them.  Fierce political disputes will divide & disrupt the nation over how new technology is used.  Who profits the most?


Also active at this time:
Saturn, Mars, Neptune in Pisces:  Unrealistic idealism will bring loss & disappointment, but also assertive initiative, in the pursuit of all these new possibilities.
Moon in Virgo opposite Saturn, Mars, Neptune in Pisces:  Public skepticism versus visionary invention.
Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius:  Power goes to visionary leaders who pursue practical applications of new technology.
Mercury conjunct Venus in Aries:  Social life becomes ever more dependent on technology.  How will this affect human evolution?

These changes will not happen all at once & may not be obvious right away.

4/29/24
Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces (exact).     Intense for weeks, even months.
Aggressive action is driven by opposing conservative versus progressive fantasies & religious obsessions.  Fear & anger over irrational beliefs; confused & irrational actions.
This will reinforce the effects of the Lunar Eclipse in Libra & the Solar Eclipse in Aries, & will add an irrational element to the Jupiter conjunct Uranus future shock.

3/9/24
Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (exact)..   Intense for weeks, even months.
Shake-ups in reliable institutions generate aggressive action by powerful individuals.  Who wins & who loses?


3/20/24
Spring Equinox & ongoing for about 3 months.  The next cycle of the seasons.
Sun enters Aries: Competitive forces take dangerous paths.


Also active at this time:
Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces (out of Sign):  Fantasy rules.  The competition is fierce.
Moon in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius:  The nation continues to be under siege by conservative versus progressive extremes that want to control it.  Public beliefs about the nation & history are being rewritten by extremists.  Do we care about history & the lessons of history?
Venus, Saturn, Neptune conjunct in Pisces:  Imagined social status is defined by one's moral attitude; does one belong to the conservative group or the progressive group?


3/25/24
 A Lunar Eclipse in Libra.  Effective for about 5 months.
A crisis over what is fair, decent, & socially inclusive.  Where do national institutions stand on there questions, both publicly & privately?


Also active at this time:
Mars, Saturn, Venus, Neptune in Pisces:  What social & religious values are to be promoted for the good of the country?  Is it the power hierarchy & the people at the top, or everyone fairly?
Also, we are approaching the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction which we will look at soon.

January/February 2024 by Jon Parks

3/20/2024

In any “forecast”, what conflicting & opposing energies will people, groups, & institutions, try to make use of?  Things don't just happen by themselves: the choices people make will be decisive.  What are the polarities in any configuration: This versus That?  What is positive & negative in any energy?  What is likely & unlikely?
Our “forecasts” are always limited by what we don't know or don't imagine.  We tend to see what we want to see, so we need to try to be aware of all of the alternative possibilities in any configuration.


What is likely & unlikely?  Human nature doesn't change.  History continues to repeat the same cycles, past, present, & future.  Radical transformation happens, but slowly: a sudden utopia or apocalypse will not usually occur.  We are advised to use informed common sense, but be alert for the unexpected.  Wild idealism or doom saying tends to lead our “forecasts” astray.


Here I am focusing on significant moments to look at the character of the flow of time.  Under each date, I am looking mostly at the hard aspects active at that time (with about an 8 degree orb of influence at most). The focus is on collective energies that inform how & why people, groups, institutions, may act as they do; not on concrete outcomes that are only uncertain possibilities & that depend on unpredictable factors.


I have focused mainly on Pluto & issues of public power & control; Neptune & issues of public belief; & Uranus, issues of disruption, & technology & public policy.  The mood of the year looks to be generally conflicted, partisan, polarized, & pessimistic.  Other interpretations are also valid.  There are many other themes in 2024 that I have not looked at here. 


What is most important is what we can learn from how we collectively use the energies of the flow of time


12/21/23
Winter Solstice & ongoing for about 3 months.  Energies at the start of 2024.
Sun enters Capricorn:  Life force wants to empower responsibility, authority, rules, organization.


Also active at this time:
Sun conjunct (focused on) Mercury:  Life activities are driven by ideology & disinformation.  Can we separate truth from political propaganda?
Moon conjunct Jupiter in Taurus:  Public attention faces controversies about religion & justice.
Moon square (in conflict with) Pluto in Capricorn (out of Sign):  The nation is under siege by conservative versus progressive extremes that want to control it.
Venus in Scorpio opposite (confronts) Uranus in Taurus:  Social relationships & values are subject to disruptive forces.
Mars in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces:  Fear & anger over irrational beliefs; confused & irrational actions.
Pluto is about to enter Aquarius:  This will be a major historical transition.


1/12/24
Mars in Capricorn trine Jupiter in Taurus (exact). Effective for a week or so. Big expectations for profit generate ambitious action.  Who wins & who loses?


1/20/24
Pluto dips into Aquarius for about 7 months.  This previews a major long-term historical shift. This will be a major transition from group power to individual power. 
Will  Pluto in Aquarius see political & social power in the hands of ordinary individuals, who have technological control of information & freedom of thought?  Or will this be a time of extreme power exercised by a few dominating individuals; not power to ordinary people.  There will be an upheaval in the power structure: power for the sake of the very powerful versus power for the sake of civil & human rights.


Also active at this time:
Sun conjunct Pluto, both newly in Aquarius:  The desire for power & control will be greatly amplified, especially if it can be exercised through governmental, corporate, financial, or religious institutions.
Moon in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces:  Public activity will be increasingly subject to severe moral attitudes, whether conservative or progressive extremes.  Can we find a healthy balance?
Mercury in Capricorn conjunct Mars in Capricorn:  Public discourse will be increasingly angry & polarized.
Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces:  Social relationships & values will be increasingly subject to repressive religious beliefs on one hand versus romantic fantasies on the other hand.  What is reasonable?
Jupiter in Taurus square Pluto in Capricorn (out of Sign):  The ideology of power will grow to extremes.
We will see only a preview of this, because Pluto will return to Capricorn for about 2 ½ months before going into Aquarius for good.


1/29/24
Mars in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus (exact).  
Effective for a week or so.

Shake-ups in reliable institutions generate reactionary measures.  What political policies gain or suffer?


2/14/24
Mars in Aquarius conjunct Pluto in Aquarius (exact).  Intense for weeks, even months.
Power is expressed as necessary social, legal, military or police action to protect the nation, & to preserve law & order.  Will this action further conservative ideologies, or progressive ideals?  Are we drawn further into war in Ukraine, the Middle East, Taiwan,  East Africa, elsewhere?


2/27/24
Mars in Aquarius square Jupiter in Taurus (exact).  
​Intense for weeks, even months.

Big expectations for profit generate aggressive action by powerful individuals.  Who wins & who loses?
