New Moon in Pisces, Mars conjunct Uranus

Sunday, April 3, will be the New Moon, @ 19 deg. Pisces. This marks the beginning of the Lunar Month Chaitra, named for the nakshatra (lunar sign) Chitra, that the full Moon falls in, on April 17.
The birth of this lunar month shows many troubling planetary combinations, indicating a difficult month overall.
The New Moon will be directly opposite Saturn, which is Retrograde in Virgo. The energy of the month is Directly Opposed to the Established Order, which itself is Strongly Resistant to Change, indicated by Saturn's retrograde condition.
The New Moon is conjunct within a couple of degrees of Jupiter, planet of Belief and Optimism, which is strong in its own sign Pisces, the sign of Hope and Faith. Jupiter's Belief and Optimism is likewise being Opposed by Saturn, "The Reality Check Planet."
Meanwhile, Mercury the planet of Reason and Logic, is now also retrograde, and still at the borderline of Pisces and Aries, hence gandant, i.e. very weak and malefic. Jupiter's Hope and Belief Overwhelm any potential for Logic and Reasonableness from Mercury.
Mars will be exactly conjunct Uranus on Sunday, April 3, @ 7 deg. Pisces. The planet of Confrontation, War, and Destruction conjoins with the planet of Sudden Unexpected Events; an energy pattern prone to Disasters, Explosions, Unintended Consequences. Being coincident with the New Moon, this energy pattern also carries through the lunar month.
The overall prognosis is not good. Some of the results can already be seen: The Hope and Optimism of Jupiter vs. the Saturn Reality of a rather grave situation in Japan. The energy of a retrograde Mercury manifesting through misinterpreting, even misrepresenting, the data from radiation monitors enhancing the potential for an even greater disaster, indicated by the conjunction of Mars and Uranus. Meanwhile in the Middle East and Northern Africa countries, the energy for Violent Revolution (Uranus plus Mars) increases as the Established Order (Saturn) refuses to change and fights to maintain the Status Quo.
As the month progresses, Mars comes closer to direct opposition to Saturn. The Full Moon will coincide with an almost exact Mars-Saturn Opposition, and with retrograde Mercury simultaneously conjunct Mars, indicating an intensification and culmination of the build-up of events in the middle of the month.
