April 22nd is Earth Day! It is aptly celebrated in Taurus time, the earthy sign of spring when those of us here in the upper latitudes sow our seeds in the warm Sun.
This annual event that started in 1970 celebrates its 54th year. It is especially recognized in the United States where it started, but it is also all over the world, if in small, diverse pockets of the local populations. With an emphasis on environmentalism, (not to be strictly associated with notions of climate change), Earth Day brings attention to our relationship with our planet both in terms of agriculture and ecology.

What is not commonly recognized is that it was on Earth Day – April 22, 1993, that the World Wide Web officially became a public domain.
Clearly, the world has been significantly transformed forever since then.
Also of interest, on that historic day in 1993, there was a New Moon in Taurus, the sign of foundations. The Sun/Moon conjunction was also at the first degree, adding to the potency of this foundational event, marking what is likely to prove to be the start of a new epoch, let alone an era.
Saturn was the planet of the highest degree in Aquarius, and Uranus and Neptune were closely aligned in Capricorn, together symbolizing the end of one era and the revolutionary beginning of another.
Interesting, wouldn’t you say?

Now looking at the chart below, for Earth Day 2024….Â
While Earth Day is not specifically an Astrological event, we can look to any special moment in time to gain some insights regarding its projected significance for the year to follow, as with a Solar Chart which we all experience on our birthday.
Most noteworthy is the fact that Jupiter and Uranus remain in very close conjunction at the 21st degree of Taurus. This degree shares an association with Capricorn and with its ruling planet, Saturn which is in Pisces along with Mars and Neptune.
The outer synchronicity is the revolutionary disintegration of traditional, agricultural practices.
How any given person interprets this is subject to debate. If the internet has shown us all anything, it is that there is little if any consensus of agreement upon any given subject. In any case, the struggle of farmers the world over, and the introduction of 3D-printed meat or meat grown in a lab, is an indication of the combined forces of technology, and the unfolding revolution associated with agriculture.
Pluto at the early degrees of Aquarius contributes to the synchronicity of this dynamic.

This was a magnificent post on earth Day. I read your weekly horoscopes with gratitude and amazement how right on they are for me.
I am turning toward prosperity more and more lately as the health part is integrating with these affirmative directions, and the Aries events are really moving me. I anticipate a nodal return next year as well.
Deep joy,
C’elle
