Astrological Context, Week of April 18, 2022

(All times Eastern)
This week has a few noteworthy happenings in the solar system. On Monday, the Sun squares Pluto, increasing stress and overall tension among “the powers that be.” The whole first part of this week could see some rattling of swords and some “action” around conflicts, with the possibility of alliances being formed and broken.
On Tuesday, at 10:24 pm, the Sun enters Taurus, as we enter the middle, most iconic month of the northern springtime. As always, this is the time when the Earth comes fully alive again, and we may feel called to dig in the dirt and just be in garden.
Next Sunday, Mercury does two things a few hours apart: they square Saturn and sextile Neptune. This could make communications a challenge, and we may find it difficult to come up with the right language for things, and may even find our speech a bit halting for the weekend.
