It's the 2022 Spring Equinox - What's Coming in April, May, and June

by Robert Wilkinson

New experiences of course, since it's the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and the days will be longer than the nights for 6 months to come. The Sun is now entering Aries, promising renewal of energy and activity, even as we find opportunity and protection in bringing other things to their natural end.

Here we celebrate that it’s also the Autumnal Equinox down under!! The Northern Hemisphere Vernal Equinox and Southern Hemisphere Autumnal Equinox occurs 8:33 am PDT, 3:33 pm GMT on March 20. It is said that a chart done for this point in time offers a snapshot of the cosmic and literal weather for the next 3 months.

There is an old tradition that offers us two times when "the year begins," one at the Vernal Equinox, the other at the Autumnal. Perhaps that tradition came from explorers who saw the seasons flip between the Northern and Southern, going from the beginning of warm to the beginning of cold as they moved up and down the latitudes.

So today is the last day of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the last day of Summer in the Southern. If you’re wondering how I reconcile the seemingly opposing energies between the hemispheres, when you’re done here please take a look at The Mirroring of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere Year Cycles in Astrology. It may help readers “down under” see how the important points of seasonal change, though opposite in physical manifestation, actually have similar challenges at each point of shift.

This is an excellent time for looking at what has ended, what is emerging, and step out of the ocean on to dry land. Just keep following through on the future you have dreamed of while the Sun has been in Pisces, since every day is good for making a better future real. We up North have done our Winter preparation, and are beginning to plant the seeds that will grow over the next 180 days. In the Southern latitudes, they’re beginning to reap the harvest of what they've done and not done.

Whether North or South, keep following through on the new roles, new initiatives, new feelings, new flow, and new ways of relating to others on more refined levels you’ve already begun to experience in the recent past, since the season to come is the time to transfigure our future into more perfect forms. Regardless of where we live, what follows explores elements we all can expect to experience over the next 13 weeks.

The nights will now begin to be longer than the days for 6 months to come in the Southern Hemisphere, with lengthening days in the Northern. The Sun is now entering Aries, promising new ways of acting on our own initiative, as well as new ways of relating to others. Both Aries and Libra represent new ways of acting on ideals, new ways of overcoming inertia to find new rhythms of action and new perspectives.

The charts for the Solstices and Equinoxes provide guideposts for what we can expect the following 90 days in the way of weather, both actual and symbolic. The Vernal Equinox chart shows a radical imbalance of planets in the decans of the signs, with 1 in the first, 5 in the second, and 4 in the third decan in their respective signs. This indicates a three month period of activity involving a preponderance of emotional, social and cultural focus, with slightly less focus on the individual, mental, and spiritual levels of life, and almost NO focus on the actional-physical parts of life.

An Overview of the Equinox

We now pass out of the dream time of the Sun at 30 Pisces, and power up a new season which puts the focus directly on Aries. With the Moon in the final minutes of Libra, technically it’s a void of course Moon, but do not fall into the illusion that “nothing happens under a VOC Moon! As the Moon is barely separating from a biquintile to Neptune, it would seem that for those who have done the work before now, they have a good “philosophical completion” and “holistic understanding” coming these next 90 days!

The next 3 months will bring us major revelations as a result of the choices we made since this time last year. While there may be disappointments, these encourage strength and resilience while providing us a short cut to evolution, whether this happens in inner space, outer space, or both. This will be a powerfully Aquarian and Piscean season, given we have 6 planets in those signs at this Equinox.

Mercury conjunct Jupiter and Neptune should open up many opportunities for those who have demonstrated compassion and future sight in the past season. Some will revise their ideas “back to source,” while others are “taking a walk with their wisdom” and reaping the harvest of 12 years of work. As Neptune leads the Sun, be compassionate with an eye to universal connectedness when “entering the Light” as things fall apart at the end of cycles. Listen to the inner Voice of Wisdom, and bless the passages with as much forgiveness as you are able to generate. Saying hello and goodbye within the larger collective context will lead to strength and resilience.

With Pluto leading the entire occupied span, there are interpretive powers for those who can “read the tea leaves,” followed by new inspirations and direct accomplishment through seeing the vision, getting a plan, and finding the right time to execute that plan. By Summer, much that is unclear at the present time will become very obvious, especially given the new beginnings coming in early June.

Jones Pattern

We are now in a period of shifting Jones patterns, depending on where the Moon is. This chart maintains the “Bucket” that’s active every time the Moon is in Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. You can find out more about this Jones pattern in the recent Full Moon articles, so please consult that if you want to know more about what it means and how it works.

What Rules the Sun, and What Are the Main Aspects in Play?

On this Equinox, worldly ruler of the Sun in Aries is Mars, which is in visionary Aquarius, while its spiritual ruler, Pluto, is still in late Capricorn. With Mars in an Air sign and Pluto in an Earth sign, it should make for a very active 90 days, with lots of interactions and communications which will move our Aquarian efforts of the past year into new forms. With Pluto as the spiritual ruler, keep it organized, efficient, responsible, and expansive. Show discipline in dealing with aggressive-assertive elements in the world, and remember sometimes it’s not cowardice but wisdom to withdraw from annoying people.

Forming aspects show what is coming, and closely partile forming and separating aspects indicate things going on in the now. In this chart, most of the aspect are the same as they were in the recent Full Moon chart just 56 hours before the Equinox. The main change is in the Moon, which we discussed earlier. Another difference is that Mercury joins Jupiter in triggering the fourth point in The Grand Irrationality! Please refer to part 3 of the recent Full Moon series to know more about this important evolutionary configuration, as well as others which are in play.

The Moon, The Elements, and more

At the Equinox the Moon is at 30 Libra in a Full Moon phase, showing this season will be very polarizing in relationships, with an “either-or” vibe and a sense of philosophical completion. Those who have cultivated a connectedness with their larger community will realized they’ve finished repairing or reconstructing something by the time the Summer Solstice arrives.

This Spring chart shows 1 planet in Fire signs, 2 in Earth, 4 in Air, and 3 in Water, exactly as it was at the Spring Equinox last year! All in all, it should be a season of high emotions and even higher ideas, but keep in mind that the water is all Pisces, so when you’re confronted with feelings, whether your own or another’s, it may be more an expression of the collective atmosphere than individual emotions. This is going to be a visionary season with a) deep connections with others, and b) saying goodbye to many things and people. The restructuring of core material is in the air, so remember to stand for what you believe in, and take disappointments as opportunities to become strong and resilient.

Fire and Water are “hot” elements, while Earth and Air are “cool” elements. This spread shows a slight emphasis on cool, and with Neptune leading the Sun, allow yourself to flow out of the old and into the new.

Looking Forward

We now have moved past the major waves of conjunctions in 2021 and 2022, with this coming season on of demonstrating our skill in directing energy, ideas, and interactions with versatility and grace. This is a season of openings and new beginnings and initiatives, and with Mars, worldly ruler of the Equinox in Aquarius, the backdrop to the new beginnings will have a strong element of new inspirations on the mental and spiritual levels of life. Just keep the focus on the big picture, and take the opportunities to accelerate the evolutionary process which present themselves.

See what has ended and what’s beginning. Use your feelings about the emerging vision to bring you to deeper ideas and discoveries to get a deeper experience of life, and see how your mind is leading your feelings and relationships to a more effective way of acting. Once you get the feeling or the understanding of what a relationship or interaction is about, then feel your way to a message or vision, and then act.

This will be a visionary and intuitive season, furthering the emergent Aquarian patterns while blessings, forgiving, and releasing the old Piscean patterns. Mobilize for gain, whatever that means, and you’ll develop skills helping you assert yourself and command the expertise of others.

This will be a season of “intuitive mind” or “empathic mind” leading us to a deeper experience of life and relationships and then new activities grounded in that feeling. We will all be looking at what we’re leaving behind, and while the longing for what was will be strong, it’s extremely important to keep in mind there is work to be done. Feel all you need to, but remember time is a one way street, and there’s no way to go back to anything. We can only move forward into a new understanding, a new role, and a new way to enjoy the here and now.

The coming 13 weeks will help us heal into our Higher Self by showing us a vision of our Soul’s “flight in formation with other Souls. Our greatest growth is in finding techniques to confirm our power on a social level while quickening our evolution. This is a season of greater adventures to embrace while not getting bogged down by disappointments. Now that the old year and parts of our old life have ended, we have the ability to discover the ideas we need to transform the old material focus to a higher spiritual focus.

These energies will be in play through the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice on 2:14 am PDT, 10:14 am BST on June 20. That Solstice chart will be VERY important due to the Moon conjunct Jupiter and Chiron in Aries. I’ll write more about that in mid-June.

The next 13 weeks can bring a vaster compassion, understanding, and connection with our inner wisdom, so accept the new inspiration as you contemplate the fact you have the ability to read the trends and signs pointing the way to using power effectively in the future. This renews our ability to take the initiative to become more authentic, mentoring and being mentored so we may heal into our Higher Self. Look at the life structures you’ve built that are absolutely dependable, and quicken the pace of your Aquarian embrace!

Open to expressing your individual Light in your own way, and allow yourself to feel a more universal wisdom and compassion. Embrace the universal dance of Spirit and matter. And if memories of old sorrows come up, bless and release the hurt or misunderstanding of the past to find more power in understanding you are not that now.

So we now enter a time of turning toward new directions, and will find stability as we learn to enjoy ourselves and the pace of the process. Take responsibility, and take note of how to use power in the most responsible way. When you can, get away from the world to receive a new inspiration, knowing you’ve actually made it through the rapids and now can give and receive the holistic knowledge and vision you have cultivated.

There are inner powers and healing angels at our disposal. This season will redeem many things related to past disappointments which are now part of the fabric of our understanding and wisdom. See the vision, go deeper into your relationship with self, others, and Source, and leave the past behind. We’re all in this together, and each of us who has walked the walk now has wisdom at our disposal which constitutes our mandate for the future. There are hidden powers to be brought forth, and invisible helpers to cooperate with. Demonstrate your personality strengths, focus your will power, and build your vehicle which will allow you to demonstrate Divine Power in the future for the betterment of a greater good or a spiritual group work.

Aum and blessings as we stand on the threshold of a new season of life!
