APril 2020 Vedic Astrology Forecast
Kālsarpa Yoga
The yoga or combination when all visible planets are on one side of the Moon's nodes brings a sense of extremes, of things being lopsided, creating a sense of instability. Listen to an interview with Alan Annand on this topic here.
When no planets are in the same sign as the nodes, all in the intervening signs, this becomes a more 'perfect' form of this combination. This is forming from Apr 17 -19. If we take lesser degrees of it, there is still a 'potent' form of this yoga from Apr 15 - 27 and again from May 12 -24, and if we take an even wider approach, and a 'partial' yoga, this occurs for more than half the time between now and until the Sun enters Cancer in July, after the eclipses in June and July.
This means the lunar nodes have a big impact for the next few months. Things are quite extreme, in case you hadn't noticed, in both good and bad ways, as the nodes exaggerate whatever they impact, in this case, the planetary line-up, including;
While most of these combinations are challenging, as 'cruel' planets gather strength and force issues, and 'kind' planets become weaker and impact morale, there is some relief in the from of Venus in Taurus and our ability to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Saturn's strength requires us to simplify our lives, anyway, so we may as well enjoy it if we can.
The strength of the Sun by mid-April, and Mars all month, suggests a more directed approach by governments, forcing the issue with the help of its full force, which at least makes us feel more confident in steps being taken.

SUSTAINABLE CHANGE: SATURN IN CAPRICORNSaturn is the planet of time. It reflects a stoic view of life, an acceptance of our current place on the wheel of time, of our fate. When strong, as it is in Capricorn, we are more likely to deal with things that we may have (note: probably) previously put off in favour of thinking about our many options (see Sagittarius). Capricorn has a 'get on with it' kind of approach.
Uranus, Neptune & Pluto: A Neo-Vedic PerspectiveThe outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were not used in traditional Jyotish (‘Vedic’ or Indian astrology) because they were not officially discovered until relatively recently; their astrological significations often attributed to Rahu and Ketu, the north and south nodes of the Moon within a traditional Jyotish framework. However, just because they were not discovered with telescopes, does not mean ancient seers were unaware of their existence.

Jupiter in Capricorn & The Story of GajendraOn Mar 30, 2020 Jupiter will enter sidereal Capricorn for the first of three occasions in 2020 and 2021. Jupiter’s transit through its sign of debilitation occurs during a conjunction with Pluto (Mar – Nov 2020) and Saturn (Dec 2020).
Although Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn, because Saturn is also transiting Capricorn it cancels out Jupiter's debilitation, and therefore, some of its weakness, so that we end up experiencing both its weakness and strength. Pluto, Saturn & Jupiter in CapricornThe emphasis begins to shift from Sagittarius to Capricorn in early 2020, with Saturn’s ingress into sidereal Capricorn by the end of January; Pluto by the end of February; and Jupiter by the end of March.
