April 2022: Pisces is front and center this month.

In the next several weeks, there will be four planets in Pisces, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune, which puts a strong emphasis on this sign. Especially when two of them are the co-rulers of Pisces. Venus is exalted here. This is a passive sign, and Mars doesn’t function so well here but there are possibilities for those who recognize them. It’s good for the water signs.

Jupiter and Neptune will be in exact conjunction on April 12. We have already felt it for a month and will continue until early May. This will be fun. The co-rulers of Pisces. Revelation, inspiration, insight, creative impulses. Last time it happened was on March 17, 1856, when Neptune was last in Pisces. Expanding all things Pisces. Opening the collective unconscious and communing with the great beyond. This may be for the brave and those of a higher mind.

There could be increased self-indulgence (over-eating) and use of drugs and alcohol (escapism). Opioid use is already widespread. There may be more over-doses. It is easier to get your hands on marijuana since it has become legal in many places. Jupiter expands or increases. There are extremes of religion (revivals, religious inspiration). There are more tornadoes, hurricanes and floods. The world-wide sea level is rising. Travel and especially cruises are more popular than ever since the country has opened up again.

For those who are spiritual or creative it will be nice. Even awesome. Some films with great special effects are coming out. On a personal level, some of you will produce the best artwork of your life. Or you are lazy and lethargic. You might lay around the whole time in front of the Tv. Don’t waste this lovely creative energy. At least play music and get out your sketchbook.

Pisces is a karmic sign. Mysteries and secrets are revealed. Clandestine love affairs, shady or subversive behavior, embezzlement and fraud will be exposed. Bodies rise to the surface. Many people will get caught and have to explain their actions. Donald Trump, for example, had better watch out. The Pisces planets are in a square to his Sun and Uranus. If you have been taking short cuts or think you have been getting away with something, just wait. The chickens are coming home to roost. If you have been playing your cards right, you’ll be okay.

Venus, Jupiter and Neptune are in conjunction on April 27-30. (The Moon will be here too!) This will increase creativity and enjoyment of luxury and beautiful things. Romance, especially for Virgo and the water signs. Someone you have fantasized about will come into your life.
