Greetings, actresses: 2022 has officially entered its first quarter. Life is good since spring is in full swing and there aren’t any retrogrades (yet). However, April 2022’s astrology is likely to really spice things up. The year’s first eclipse, some once-in-a-lifetime planetary aspects, and a potent Pluto retrograde that will terminate our recent backspin-free streak are all served by this transit. The astrological events occurring in April are arriving hot and fast, filling the cosmic calendar to capacity.
Under the light of the new moon in Aries, we are beginning the month. April is a great month for starting something new because it coincides with the flamboyant Aries season. The Aries energy uplifts our spirits and propels us to achieve our objectives. But because of the Pisces stellium that is occurring throughout this month, we will still experience the emotional and dreamy haze of Pisces. The full moon in Libra a few days later will make things even more amorous. On April 12, there will be a remarkable Jupiter-Neptune conjunction that will be a time of spiritual development and enhanced intuition. The start of Taurus season on April 19 gives us some much-needed stability before the first eclipse of the year on April 30. Change is occurring quickly.
Expect some substantial energy shifts this month when all the personal planets enter new signs in addition to these significant cosmic occurrences. Speaking of changes, the first planetary retrograde since February will begin on April 29 with Pluto retrograde 2022. Take advantage of this forward-moving flow while we’re still in a retrograde-free period before the backspins start.

What planets are in retrograde right now, April 2022?
What ghosts are scurrying about in our closets? Where do we go when we’re “unconscious and unable to recognize our part in a crisis? Pluto’s instinct is to conceal because he rules the underworld in the cosmos. One of this planet’s favorite forms of defense is projection. Pluto is probably at work whenever and whenever you’re pointing the finger. Pluto spends around five months of every year in retrograde motion, just like the other outer planets. We frequently experience a sense of release from the planet’s ferocity during these periods. Introspection is encouraged during retrogrades, and deep-diving Pluto’s backspin can yield insightful revelations. We are resolving issues of financial inequality, creating new monetary systems, and debating how industry affects the environment while the Sun is in Capricorn from 2008 until 2024.

The adage “April showers bring May flowers” is true. However, astrology predicts that April 2022 will bring with it its own wealth. This month’s astrological events include a solar eclipse, the end of Aries season and the beginning of Taurus season, as well as the once-in-a-lifetime Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. Before we get into individual horoscopes, let’s take a look at the cosmic events that are occurring this month.
Pay close attention to the moon cycle first. On April 1, there will be a new moon in Aries, which encourages us to start a new initiative with a big step. The April 16 Libra full moon forces us to examine and reevaluate our partnerships and resolve any ongoing power disputes.
What zodiac signs will be impacted by the 2022 Mercury retrograde?
When you believe you have everything under control and your troubles solved, Mercury retrograde seems to mix things up. There’s always a problem lurking around the corner when it comes to astrology, and nothing illustrates this more than when Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, starts to move backward through the zodiac rather than ahead. Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, and Sagittarius are the zodiac signs that will be most impacted by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022, so you *might* want to get ready for some technical issues soon.
Mercury usually stirs up temporary turbulence and commotion when it stations retrograde. This retrograde, which occurs three to four times a year, is nothing new to you because you’ve already encountered it numerous times. In other words, there is no need to be concerned; the world will not end, and you will survive it unharmed. Although miscommunications and misunderstandings frequently occur when Mercury is retrograde, it is also a lovely time to reflect on your life, look back on previous endeavors, and take care of any unfinished business.
Mercury retrograde this spring starts on May 10 at 4 degrees Gemini, going backwards. Mercury rules this mutable air sign, so this will be a typical retrograde experience marked by confusion and diversion. Think carefully before you speak, especially if you’re twisting the truth. On May 22, Mercury will reenter Taurus, slowing down the intensity of this retrograde and making it more frustrating for Mercury, who already finds it difficult to move through this rigid fixed earth sign. Fortunately, everything will finish on June 3 just as swiftly as it began.
What the astrological signs listed below should be aware of is:
Is Venus currently in retrograde in 2022?
And because of what the planet of love and relationships has been doing over the past few months, 2022 is seen as a Venus year. Specifically, the year 2022 began with Venus retrograde in Capricorn (a practical and goal-oriented Earth sign).
March 2022: Are any planets in retrograde motion?
Yes, you heard correctly. There are no significant retrogrades in March, and because the sun will be in the spiritual, compassionate, and imaginative sign of Pisces, this month will be incredibly rewarding. This Pisces season is particularly noteworthy since Jupiter, the planet of expansion, adventure, and wisdom, will be transiting through this mutable water sign at the same time. Jupiter may work at its highest expression because Pisces is actually under its control, therefore this month will be full of happy vibes and lovely occasions.
In fact, you’ll experience a burst of energizing energy on March 5 when the sun and Jupiter in Pisces align. Jupiter urges you to break free from what has been restricting you and expand beyond your limitations, so follow this energy wherever it leads you. The ocean and the ocean’s infinity are symbols of Pisces. It simply keeps going around in its never-ending present loop. Allow the surf to pull you away at this time as you embrace a sense of boundlessness as vast and steadfast as the ocean.
By March 13, the sun will also align with Neptune in Pisces, heightening your psychic abilities and conjuring up purifying spiritual energies. This will inspire you to let go of your ego and follow the path of love because, in the end, love is the source and the goal of all that is. Let kindness, compassion, and generosity deepen your relationship with the world you share with others because, at our very core, we all want to be loved.

Mercury Retrograde is most likely the most well-known and frequently regarded as the most ubiquitous. Moreover, instead of the typical three Mercury retrograde phases in 2022, there will be four.
Mercury is seen as having authority over activities like travel, delivery, negotiations, contracts, and even informal conversations because it is the planet of transit and communication.
Consider Mercury as the coordinator of any trip from point A to point B. Whether it involves a tangible object or perhaps just knowledge. Mercury can therefore become chaotic when it goes into retrograde, which applies to these areas of life. Consider things like missed deliveries, miscommunication, and travel delays.
Some people will even go so far as to never sign contracts or plan significant meetings when Mercury is retrograde. Then there are those who think significant technological disruptions, like the Instagram outage in 2021, are brought on by this phenomenon.
When Venus is in retrograde, what happens?
Venus, who already rotates in the opposite direction from Earth, slows down during the retrograde, which intensifies its effects on us. Currently, Venus is travelling slower than Earth. Earthlings can feel the retrograde because it feels like we are going faster than we actually are.
What effects will Mercury’s retrograde have on 2022?
Right, Sagittarius? You have never, ever, never in a million years left a relationship before. Ha! You’re the first to do it, so leave right away without turning around! It will be extremely important to consider how you collaborate with others and whether you are on the same page during this Mercury retrograde phase. Exes can even be waiting around right now, or you might discover that you keep thinking about someone from your past. You are advised to do so if you’d like to try to get back in touchor, at the absolute least, bury the grievance, forgive, and go on. Later on in the trip, either your career and occupation or your physical routine and health will be confused. Avoid making snap judgments.
