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.

Which planet will be in retrograde in April 2022?
Retrograde. Every time we hear the phrase, it usually causes moans, worry, or goosebumps. Retrogrades aren’t actually here to harm you or force you to get back together with your ex for the 75th time, despite how it may feel (I promise). Instead of tearing out your hair like everyone else around you, working with the energy of a retrograde rather than against it might give you more control over your life.
In case you missed it, this month has seen three retrogrades. On June 3, 2022, Mercury Retrograde came to an end. This particular retrograde was particularly harsh because it occurred when Mercury was in Gemini, its native sign, amplifying its effects. Beginning on June 4, Saturn, the planet of karma and lessons learned, moved backward in the sign of Aquarius. Then, bang! On June 28, Neptune, the planet of fantasy and spirituality, started its backward journey through Pisces.
All planets retrograde at some point in time, despite the fact that this sounds like a lot (and it is). Mercury and Venus’ retrograde periods might span weeks or months, depending on the planets involved (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto). In fact, at least one planet is in retrograde for the most of the year.
We will move at a slower rate the more planets are in retrograde at any particular time. Because Mercury, Venus, and Mars preside over areas of life that we engage with on a daily basis, they have a more pronounced impact on us (communication, relationships, energy). The outer planets, on the other hand, have a stronger connection to social and collective forces than to our daily lives, thus their retrogrades aren’t as noticeable.
Is it currently retrograde in April 2022?
Pluto retrograde 2022, which will occur in Capricorn, will bring an end to the roughly three-month-long pause.
The planet of regeneration will be slowly and backward-moving from April 29 to October 28. It is quite powerful, despite not being one of the quicker guys in the solar system.
Astrologer Noush with Girl and Her Moon claims that Pluto has a power and is more than just unsettling and foreboding.
What astrological events are occurring in April 2022?
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:
Venus will be in retrograde in 2022.
Venus turns retrograde every 18 months, and this turn will take place from December 19, 2021, to January 29, 2022. Venus’ “on-screen” timing is shifting from the evening to the morning during this cycle. Venus becomes invisible in the middle of the retrograde as it forms an inferior conjunction to the Sun. The rebirth of Venus this year occurs on January 8, which could result in a significant change in how people view love.
A little over two weeks later, Venus reemerges, sparkling in the dawn sky. Venus has two Greek names since the ancients believed it to be two independent planets: Phosphorus, which means “the bringer of light” for her morning star cycle, and Hesperus, which means “the star of the evening,” for her evening phase.
Retrogrades of Venus are not always simple. They have the power to bring back the ghosts of former relationships or to cause unexpected ghostings just when connections are starting to take off. In the end, these cycles assist us in recalibrating our settings so that we may make wiser decisions moving forward. Make that your New Year’s resolution as soon as possible!
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.
In 2022, how many retrogrades may we expect?
The celestial event of this year will take place over four separate time frames. There are typically just three Mercury retrograde periods every year. However, there will be four retrogrades in 2022.
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn: January 14 to February 3
It’s intriguing, according to Campos-Powell, that this transit takes place in “Saturn is the planet of age, duty, discipline, and stewardship. It rules two quite distinct signs. She believes that this retrograde will have the biggest effect of the year as a result.
Consider the fact that Capricorn is the zodiac’s go-getter, while Aquarius is the sign of visionaries. Capricorn seeks to preserve the previously existing, working structures, whereas Aquarius is all about demolishing and replacing non-working structures. “According to Campos-Powell, it’s almost as if they have similar goals but pursue them in different ways. You will therefore be considering what is and isn’t working in your personal life during the first Mercury retrograde of 2022.
In what ways will Pluto go backwards in Aries in 2022?
Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn are the four cardinal signs that will be most impacted by Pluto’s retrograde motion. It is expected of them to grow past triangle circumstances and emotional blockages that prevent them from progressing in interpersonal interactions. The transit might not be as challenging if they are willing to adapt.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces are mutable signs that are in the middle of the powerful impacts of Pluto retrograde. These people will need to put in the effort necessary to mend their hearts and attempt to let go of the past, which may prove to be more difficult than they anticipated.
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are fixed signs and will experience the influence of Pluto’s moonwalk, though not as strongly as the other signs. They are figuring out how to calmly confront themselves and communicate their deepest feelings.
What zodiac signs are impacted by Mercury’s retrograde motion?
Nothing in astrology is more notorious than the dreadful Mercury retrograde. Because it rules both cognitive and communication processes, Mercury has a significant impact on how you live your daily life. This quick-moving, very intelligent inner planet tends to confuse people and lead to errors in judgment when it goes retrograde, which can derail all of your goals. Fortunately, you don’t have to prepare for total disaster if you belong to one of the zodiac signs that will be least affected by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
On May 10, as Mercury is transiting through Gemini at a 4 degree angle, the next Mercury retrograde will start. As a result of this mutable air sign’s propensity to think more quickly than it speaks, miscommunication is a major theme of this erratic and capricious retrograde. Mercury won’t stay in Gemini for very long, though, as on May 22 it will turn back into Taurus and travel through that sign’s obstinate and slow-moving zone once more. Mercury is returning to this fixed earth sign, so you may find yourself second-guessing every choice and finding it difficult to look past your attachments to particular beliefs and viewpoints. Be careful you know what you’re talking about and try to have an open mind.
Despite the fact that Mercury retrograde can throw your life for a loop, you must keep in mind that it only lasts for around three weeks. This retrograde, which will terminate on June 3 at 26 degrees Taurus, could transport you back in time and bring up unfinished business that has to be attended to. Let this retrograde give you another chance to attempt because there might still be things you need to say or decisions you need to make.
In either case, cardinal signs might not experience the full effects of this retrograde. This is why:
