Jupiter conjunct Mercury, Venus enters Pisces

Planets in Pisces are getting closer together this week: the energy pattern intensifies. Mars advances in Pisces and closes in on Jupiter. Meanwhile Mercury, traveling retrograde, is "backing up" towards Jupiter and Mars from the other end of Pisces. Saturn, also retrograde, creeps along in Virgo on the other side of the Heavens. Mars gets closer to exact opposition to Saturn this week, intensifying the energy pattern of Tension and Crisis.
Jupiter will be conjunct Retrograde Mercury @ 23 degrees Pisces on Monday, April 11: Jupiter is the planet of Truth and therefore Beliefs, strong in its own sign Pisces. Mercury is the planet of Data and Logic, and is disadvantaged by being Retrograde in Pisces, its sign of debilitation. Jupiter overwhelms the weakened Mercury: Logic takes a back seat to Ideology, as has been evident in the Budget Fight in the US Federal Government. Mercury the planet of Information and Media can't deliver clear and correct reports: Mistakes get made: the wrong people get bombed. Meanwhile Mars, planet of Aggression, contributes its forcefulness for Confrontation and Argument with more reliance on Belief than Reason.
Venus enters Pisces on Friday, April 15. The planet of Peace and Agreement is considered Exalted in Pisces. But not much can be done with the trainwreck of planets already in this sign. Instead we get Venus + Mars =Passion, adding more fuel to the fire.
Sun enters Aries on Thursday, Friday 14: The planet of Power and Authority, and therefore Governments, is exalted in this sign. Aries is a sign owned by Mars; the entry of the Sun into Aries adds more power for Mars. The energy for Solutions using Force is increased for the next four weeks.
The Moon enters Virgo on Friday, April 15, adding more energy on the Saturn side of the Mars vs. Saturn equation, which will increase the potential for Violent Events next Friday and through the weekend.
