Our first eclipse of 2022 will be a partial solar eclipse on April 30, 2022 and it will occur at 10 degrees and 29 minutes Taurus. This eclipse is visible from southern South America, parts of Antarctica, and over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This eclipse could affect global finances, earth changes, and our collective values. With Uranus conjunct the eclipse point, sudden changes will likely occur with regard to the previously mentioned matters. There is potential for powerful earthquakes related to this eclipse. Diplomatic efforts are favored with Jupiter conjunct Venus. Global oil and gas industries experience favorable influences as Neptune joins Jupiter and Venus.
For the USA, the focus is on finances and banking - probably next year’s budget and perhaps the human infrastructure bill. Inflation could be a part of the problem and scenario, although the overall economic outlook is fairly good. Employment and job matters continue to progress nicely as Mars sextiles the eclipse point from the sixth house. Saturn squares Mercury in the ninth house, and indicates serious and/or bad news from afar or related to the airline industry. Generally, the news is heavy and serious. The entertainment industry could be negatively affected as well since Saturn resides in the fifth house in the chart over Washington DC.
As always, this eclipse will affect you personally if you have planets and/or points conjunct or opposite the eclipse point (only a two degree orb). Those planets or points between 8 and 12 degrees of Taurus and/or Scorpio are included. Eclipses are Uranian in nature in that what happens is unexpected, and you might not even be certain as to what is happening for six months. For a solar eclipse, it takes about a year for the event to completely mature. Whether the eclipse is experienced as positive or negative depends on the planet that is conjoined or opposed, it’s place in your chart, the condition that the planet is in, and whether and how you might have prepared for what is happening (i.e. free will). If you’d like to know if you have planets or points that fall into this range, let me know. For most people, it will be experienced simply as a New Moon type event. Those are generally felt as the start of something new or a new beginning.
