A mini trine (two sextiles and one trine has formed in the sky over the last few weeks between Pluto, Saturn/ Neptune, and Uranus. In April, this formation is joined by the Sun, Mars on April 10 and Mercury and the Moon on April 15. If you include the asteroid Chiron, this puts seven heavenly bodies in Aries on April 15 to 17. Most of these planets are near 0 degrees of Aries, which is both the Vernal Equinox and the Degree of Humanity. Many astrologers have been trying to find another planetary period when the same formation existed and have failed to identify this exact pattern anytime in the last 4000 to 10,000 years. A few somewhat similar patterns in different signs have been identified over 4000 years ago. When something this unique comes along, it changes the trajectory of human history. Keep in mind that the sign of Aries is associated with individual human rights.
When reading a natal chart, I usually interpret a mini grand trine as a form of protection. However, Mars conjunct Saturn conjunct Neptune could be volatile. If someone wanted to blow things up and make off with all the gold and riches, this would be an ideal aspect for that kind of aggression. Especially when the chart of your country is receiving strong aspects from these transits. Currently there are several countries that fit this description. As I’ve said before, Saturn and Neptune together bring changes in structures, the boundaries of countries, and the acceleration of consciousness. Mars will amplify the effects of these two planets. April may even be a historic turning point. We need to be very clear about what we would like to see happen in the world.
At the end of April Uranus moves into Gemini for about 6 to 7 years. Uranus is a slow-moving outer planet that takes about 84 years to orbit the Sun. The last time Uranus moved into Gemini was when our country entered WWII. Uranus was also in Gemini during the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. This planetary position has ushered in communication breakthroughs and rapid social change since the invention of the printing press in the 1440’s. The United States will experience its natal Uranus return at 8 degrees of Gemini in 2027, so we are currently living through the prelude of this important point of our country’s history.
