Global events forecast:
April 18 – May 17, 2015

DW Sutton

The Aries new-Moon occurs April 18, 2015 at 6.57pm UT and a country’s lunation chart provides a forecast model of events for the period April 18 to May 17, 2015. The Sun-Moon lunation is conjunction (prominence) Mercury – planet of talks, announcements and controversy; and semisquare (friction) Neptune – planet of oil, gas, aviation, drugs, schemes, lies, deceit and mysteries.

Washington lunation chart – April 18, 2015 at 2.57pm EDST

In the Washington chart the lunation and Mercury are in house 9 – trade, shipping, laws and legal matters, new religious laws in Arkansas and Indiana, court cases, verdicts, Benghazi Congressional hearing investigation, religion, television and internet. It dominates the chart and is high in harmony so some 9th-house matter will be the major domestic news story this forecast period. Mercury conjunction Mars indicates controversy and strife. Neptune in house 7 marks for deceptive relations with a foreign power; and Saturn in house 4 marks for destructive weather events – storms and flood.
