This week: The Sun is in Aries; Mercury is in Aries; Venus is in Aquarius to April 5th, when Venus enters Pisces; Mars is in Aquarius.
The Sun is in Aries from March 20-April 19. In Aries, the Sun is enthusiastic and spontaneous. We are motivated by the desire to conquer. We are more impulsive and have the urge to initiate.
Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly–there is little in the way of shame with Aries. It is brave and pioneering, and somewhat innocent. We are direct and rather uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted and lack the desire to plan ahead.
Mercury is in Aries from March 27-April 10. When Mercury is in Aries, we are less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations, and more concerned with reaching a decision…quickly! Our thoughts and ideas are pioneering, and we tend to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries.
There can be quick, possibly impatient or hurried, decisions during this cycle, and our responses are similar: quick and perhaps defensive or combative. We value independent thought, and we can be mentally competitive. executive decisions. We prefer to learn through personal experience, not instruction.
Venus is in Aquarius from March 6-April 5. We move towards unconventionality, independence, and freedom as themes in our social relationships under this influence. Aquarius can be just as faithful as Capricorn, but it has to be on its own terms! Experimental relationships are more intriguing now.
Being friends as well as lovers is important to us during this cycle. Allowing one another freedom of expression, and treating others fairly, unselfishly, and impartially, are themes now.
Venus is in Pisces from April 5-May 2. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.
Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us.
Money may slip through our fingers, or we could turn a blind eye to some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission.
This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.
Mars is in Aquarius from March 6-April 14. Dynamic yet erratic energy levels, achieving our goals through hit or miss tactics, and impersonal expression of anger are characteristics of Mars in Aquarius. We are team players–cooperative and less concerned about personal power.
We are attracted to unconventional methods, and we tend to approach problems from an intellectual, detached perspective during the Mars-in-Aquarius cycle.
Jupiter is in Pisces from December 28th, 2021, to May 10, 2022. Jupiter returned to Pisces on December 28th, 2021. This is part two–there will be another part to this 3-part act later in the year! Read more about the Jupiter in Pisces transit.
Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Aquarius from March 6 to April 5. While Venus was in Capricorn, we valued enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We took expressing our feelings seriously, and we also took our sweet time warming up to others! Generally, we kept our “cool” in relationships. With Venus now in Aquarius, we still keep our “cool” in relationships, but in a detached and impersonal sort of way. Unconventional set-ups become more appealing.
Bringing the spirit of friendship into romantic relationships is a positive use of Venus in Aquarius energy. Relationships that fairly scream “alternative” appeal to us now. It’s all about being open-minded and somewhat detached with Aquarius energy dominating the love arena. With Venus in Aquarius, it may be better to approach dating casually, with no expectations and no strings. Melodrama and emotionalism are not in favor. We may also find ourselves attracted to–or attracting–people who are not our usual “type.”
Venus is in Pisces from April 5 to May 2. Like Aquarius, Pisces love is universal. However, Pisces draws no bounds in love. With Venus in Pisces, we have compassion (and perhaps attraction) for those who are left out, overlooked, or victimized. We are self-sacrificing, and we have a hard time setting up borders. The walls go down, we have a hard time saying no (especially if our compassion is engaged), but we are also prone to avoiding all that makes us feel uncomfortable.
Wishful thinking is one expression of Venus in Pisces. We can too easily believe what we want to believe. People can be hard to pin down, and love is hard to define under this influence. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.
Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deluded, as well as evasiveness.
This week: On Sunday, there can be some reluctance to commit or to show our affections. We’re inclined to question our allegiances and analyze our feelings or relationships on Friday.
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Aquarius A love for the unusual, a distaste for stodgy old rules and conventions, a feeling that you’re above the petty bourgeois stuff and nonsense: that’s what a new cycle brings into your life now. (“I love humanity; it’s people I can’t stand!”) Unconventional romantic and social connections are likely at a time like this.
Venus in Pisces A martyr complex, a love for the underdog, a search for your soul mate: such are the experiences associated with the new cycle you’re now just beginning. A yen for soul-stirring romance, a weakness for the weak, and a tendency to idealize people and relationships … very aesthetic, very other-worldly.
Venus conjunct Saturn March 28. Affections stabilize and mature. Relationships are stabilized and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly. An air of formality is brought to personal and social relationships. A new sense of realism in existing partnerships comes now. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure for a cause or for a loved one; thus we may have to abstain from personal gratification for the time being. Problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet may surface now, and we are ready to face them. Dissatisfaction with loved ones becomes more glaring. Renewed ties to old friends or lovers are possible, or a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships.
Venus semi-square Mercury April 1. Communications between lovers are superficial and unsatisfying, and perhaps awkward. Superficiality in romantic expression may exist now.
Venus semi-square Chiron April 2-3. Love cannot be forced. This is not a commitment-friendly transit, as we may feel alienated for no apparent reason and unwilling to give of ourselves.
Venus contra-parallel Mercury April 8. Interactions bring up questions. We tend to analyze our feelings and relationships.
Venus semi-square Chiron. Blocks to intimacy are possible now as we focus on differences rather than similarities in our relationships with others. We might have a hard time learning from one another as a result.
Mars conjunct Saturn. Feelings of being blocked are possible, as enthusiasm meets with realism. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment. It’s also a strong period for getting and feeling organized. Seniority is favored now. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Pushing ahead, however, can be costly or could result in frustration, as “slow and steady” is the only way to go now.
Mercury sextile Saturn. A good time to get organized, to do detail work, and to prepare for the future. Decisions made now tend to be practical and well thought out. Work done now will have tangible results in the future.
Mercury sextile Mars. Mental alertness, enthusiasm, and energetic communications figure now. Quick decisions can be made. We are productive and take “busy-ness” in stride. We are alert and aware, and can easily turn ideas into workable projects.
Sun in Aries A new sense of self, a more assertive personal style, a more dynamic approach to life: these are the hallmarks of the cycle that begins for you now. Doubts fade into the background, and reserve is more and more a thing of the past. It’s time for action; your destiny is in your hands, rather than set apart. Full speed ahead (“and damn the torpedoes”) is your motto now, for better or for worse!
Mercury in Aries New ideas and an independent or pioneering mental orientation take on more importance in your life at this time. Teaching, learning, communicating, and social contact have a way of outlining new directions in your life now, and there is much activity and involvement with these kinds of issues.
Venus in Aquarius A love for the unusual, a distaste for stodgy old rules and conventions, a feeling that you’re above the petty bourgeois stuff and nonsense: that’s what a new cycle brings into your life now. (“I love humanity; it’s people I can’t stand!”) Unconventional romantic and social connections are likely at a time like this.
Venus in Pisces A martyr complex, a love for the underdog, a search for your soul mate: such are the experiences associated with the new cycle you’re now just beginning. A yen for soul-stirring romance, a weakness for the weak, and a tendency to idealize people and relationships … very aesthetic, very other-worldly.
Mars in Aquarius The reformer, the inventor, the engineer, the revolutionary – these are important archetypes for you as a new cycle gets underway in your life. They are icons of the ambitions that stir you at a time like this. Independence, freedom from past patterns, and a daring readiness to innovate: such are the paths of achievement for you now.
Jupiter in Pisces Mysticism, sensitivity to the needs of others, and an awareness of karma (the link between the present and the past): these are your paths to spiritual growth now. Addressing these issues brings you gain and satisfaction at many levels. A tolerance for differences, an understanding of human frailties and shortcomings.
Saturn in Aquarius Ideals are in for a period of testing, as a new phase begins in your life. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That’s an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in – but if you abandon your principles, you lose.
Uranus in Taurus Practicality and ingenuity combine as powerful drives in your life now that you have begun a new cycle. Taking innovative concepts and making them real and practical is your strong suit; getting stuck in the mud is to be avoided at all costs. Financial savvy, inventiveness, worldly genius.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver’s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is Maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable – and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small but has bigger consequences than you’d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone, and everyone in their place…

Quelques rendez-vous avec la Lune
Jardiner avec la Lune
Planter des pommes de terre: les jours les plus favorables selon les influences lunaires pour planter des pommes de terre seront les 5, 6, 7, 15, 16, 17 ou 24 avril. Le début de la floraison du lilas est un bon indicateur pour planter les pommes de terre selon votre région.

Pour que le gazon soit plus beau et plus épais avec une croissance lente, tondre dans la période du 15 au 20 (en évitant le 18). Favoriser la biodiversité: pensez à conserver une zone vierge dans votre jardin afin que les abeilles et autres insectes utiles au jardin puissent profiter des fleurs de printemps.
Faucher avec la Lune
Pour favoriser la repousse, faucher dans la période du 1er au 7 (en évitant le 4). Retrouvez d’autres meilleures dates pour faucher selon la finalité (qualité, précocité…) dans la page des foins du Calendrier Lunaire.
Purin de plantes
Pour une meilleure efficacité, commencer la fabrication d’un purin de plante le 6 ou le 12.
Préserver l’environnement avec la Lune
Pour une meilleure efficacité, appliquer les produits fongicides naturels le soir du 22, 23, 24 ou 30.
Retrouver toutes les plantes qui peuvent être utilisées pour soigner les plantes en page 29 de l’édition 2022.
La viniculture avec la Lune
Soutirer dans la période du 1er au 7 (en évitant le 4) pour ne pas stopper l’activité du vin.
Les arbres en fonction de la Lune
Greffer en couronne: pour une meilleure reprise, greffer les arbres fruitiers le 22.
La Lune et les animaux
Pour une meilleure efficacité, traiter contre les vers le 14 ou le 15 ou mieux, le 28 ou le 29.
Notre bien être avec la Lune
Meilleur jour pour se faire couper les cheveux en avril: le 20 (ou le 12 si l’on souhaite ralentir la chute).
Pour optimiser l’effet énergisant d’un massage, choisir le 5, 6 ou le 7.

THE BEST ASTROLOGICAL DAYS THIS MONTH AND
THE WORST ASTROLOGICAL DAYS THIS MONTH
FOR SIXTEEN IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES FOR
April, 2022
| The dates below are the best (and worst) astrological days in April 2022 for the 17 important activities described (to read about the criteria we use in selecting these dates click here). April is another one of those bad months when there are simply no good days to natalize anything important during the whole month. The days we list below as “best”day in April are not actually good days but are instead merely the least bad ones. If you need to make crucial natalizations such as starting a job or signing a mortgage, be sure to wait for better days. We also suggest you always make sure you are aware of all of your important transits, both good and bad, so you can plan and improve your life. Please never natalize anything important if you are having bad transits because when you make a significant natalization, all the transits you have on the natalization day will be made permanent. The good news is this also means you can make good transits permanent by natalizing on days you have good transits. You may read more about natalizations by clicking here.. Our MagicalOracle Mobile Web App is the easiest way to know what kind of transits you have on any day and you can check it anywhere in the world, at any time, by using your iPhone or Android or tablet. As for the best and worst days this month for money, they are: Best: April 28, 30 Worst: Apri 1, 14, 26 And the best and worst days this month for love and sex are: Best: April 29, 30 Worst: April 1, 11, 13 Please also always remember that in addition to selecting good astrological days for crucial natalizations, you need to have good transits at the same time in order to create a natalization that will work very well for you.

| [Editor's Note: These days were chosen specifically as the best and worst days for the activities specified and you should not assume that a good day for one activity is a good day for anything and everything else. For example, a good day to get married is not a good day to get divorced. Although the good and bad dates we provide you are applicable for everyone, just how good or bad each day is will vary depending on your individual transits. For example, if you are having several Cinderella Transits on one of our good days, then the day can be fabulous for you. Or if you are having Cinderella Transits on one of our bad days, then the day will not be as bad for you as it will be for most people because your transits are better than most.] |

Cet ouvrage d’éphémérides est destiné aux astronomes, aux enseignants et aux étudiants.
Le cœur de cet ouvrage présente, pour l’année en cours, les éphémérides tabulées du Temps sidéral, des variables liées aux nouveaux paradigmes de l’Union astronomique internationale sur les systèmes de référence et les coordonnées du Soleil, de la Lune et des planètes, de Pluton, Cérès, Pallas, Junon et Vesta ; il fournit également les quantités nécessaires au calcul des positions des satellites de Mars, des satellites galiléens de Jupiter, des huit premiers satellites de Saturne et des cinq principaux satellites d’Uranus.
Un chapitre explicatif fournit les informations théoriques permettant de faire les calculs par soi-même ou d’utiliser le logiciel accompagnant l’ouvrage.
Ce volume est le 344e d’une éphéméride créée en 1679 qui a paru sans interruption depuis sa création. Ancienne par sa conception, mais toujours moderne dans sa réalisation, la version actuelle s’appuie sur une partie des récents développements méthodologiques menés à l’IMCCE.

De Ptolémée (né vers 90 après J.-C. à Ptolémaïs d’Hermias, dans la Thébaïde d’Égypte, mort à Canope vers 170), on ne retient souvent que le système astronomique qui fait de la Terre le centre de l’Univers. Et pourtant, cinq siècles avant lui, Aristarque de Samos avait émis l’hypothèse que la terre tournait sur elle-même autour du soleil.
Mais Ptolémée est d’abord un mathématicien. Les pages de sa Syntaxe mathématique, plus connue sous le nom d’Almageste (Le grand traité), reprennent partie les données et observations d’un autre astronome alexandrin, Hipparque de Nicée. Dans son Traité d’astrologie, Claude Ptolémée nous transmet le résultat de plus de sept siècles de science grecque.
Le Tetrabiblos fut l’ouvrage le plus célèbre de l’Antiquité. Il exerça et exerce encore une grande influence dans l’étude des corps célestes de la sphère sublunaire.

Origine du mois d'avril
Le mois d'avril, quatrième mois du calendrier, compte 30 jours. Le mot avril provient du latin Aprilis, mais l'origine est incertaine : l'étymologie traditionnelle vient du verbe aperire (ouvrir), mais le mois d'avril vient peut-être de la déesse Vénus (Aphrodite en Grèce), dont le mois romain associé aurait été Aphrilis. D'autres théories ont été émises.

L’équinoxe de printemps 20 mars 2022
Dimanche 20 mars c’est le début du printemps pour l’hémisphère nord…
C’est l’équinoxe de mars qui défini le début du printemps (ou de l’automne pour l’hémisphère sud). L’équinoxe est un phénomène astronomique qui correspond au moment où le Soleil se retrouve pile dans l’alignement de l’équateur, comme dans le schéma ci-dessus. Cela signifie que le soleil est au zénith de l’équateur et qu’il éclaire la terre perpendiculairement à son axe de rotation. C’est la raison pour laquelle, lors de l’équinoxe et donc lors du passage de l’hiver au printemps (ou de l’été à l’automne) le jour et la nuit sont de durée égale (équinoxe, du latin aequus: égal et nox, noctis: nuit).
Pourquoi le jour et la nuit sont-ils de durée égale seulement à l’équinoxe?
Comprendre le phénomène des saisons est la première étape pour bien comprendre le phénomène des équinoxes. Si nous avons des saisons sur la Terre, c’est parce que son axe de rotation est incliné d’environ 23° (par rapport au plan de rotation de la Terre autour du Soleil). En effet la Terre ne tourne pas sur elle-même comme une toupie tournant de façon bien droite, mais plutôt comme un gyroscope. C’est donc parce que la Terre est inclinée, que le Soleil ne l’éclaire pas de la même façon tout au long de l’année. La vidéo ainsi que les schémas ci-dessous permettent une vision claire du phénomène. En hémisphère nord, la durée d’ensoleillement diminue pendant six mois de l’année pour augmenter à nouveau pendant les six mois suivants, les deux points culminant de cette variation étant le solstice d’hiver (durée du jour la plus courte de l’année) et le solstice d’été (durée du jour la plus longue de l’année). L’équinoxe quant à lui, correspond au milieu de ces deux extrêmes.
Lors de sa rotation annuelle autour du Soleil, la Terre se retrouve donc deux fois dans la position où le Soleil est pile à la verticale de l’équateur. Une première fois en mars, lors de l’équinoxe de printemps et une seconde en septembre, lors de l’équinoxe d’automne.

Israel PM gives security forces free rein after deadly Tel Aviv attack
Apr 08 2022
Israelis cry as they gather at the site of a shooting attack the previous night in Tel Aviv on April 8, 2022
Tel Aviv (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett gave security agencies “full freedom” Friday to curb a surge in violence, after a Palestinian gunman killed three men in a popular nightlife district.
“There are not and will not be limits for this war,” Bennett said, speaking hours after Thursday night’s attack in the coastal city of Tel Aviv.
“We are granting full freedom of action to the army, the Shin Bet (the domestic security agency) and all security forces in order to defeat the terror,” he said.
The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, and the Islamic Jihad group praised the attack – drawing criticism from the UN – but did not claim responsibility.

After an all night manhunt, Israeli police said they shot dead a Palestinian gunman who had opened fire on a street of crowded bars and restaurants, killing three people and wounding more than a dozen others.
Some 1,000 heavily armed police and army troops had fanned out across Tel Aviv to track the assailant, as residents cowered in restaurant kitchens or their homes.
Defence Minister Benny Gantz said officers had made “around 200 arrests”, adding: “If necessary there will be thousands.”

Israeli childhood friends Tomer Morad and Eytam Magini, both 27, were killed late Thursday.
On Friday, Barak Lufan, died of his injuries, Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital said.
Magini was due to celebrate his engagement Friday, his fiancee’s mother, Lia Arad, told public television.
“They were supposed to celebrate their engagement party tonight, Eytam’s cousins organised it in this house where we are now sitting in mourning,” she said.
Morad was an avid fan of the Hapoel Tel Aviv Basketball Club, which said in a condolence note it sent “a warm and loving hug”. The two friends are to be buried Sunday.
Special forces confronted the attacker in the old city of Jaffa, the historic Arab district of Tel Aviv, “eliminating the terrorist by exchange of fire”, police commissioner Yaakov Shabtai said.
Security forces take aim at the scene of a shooting attack in Tel Aviv on April 7, 2022
The Shin Bet named him as Raad Hazem, 28, from Jenin in the north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where last week Israeli forces killed three people in a raid.
A total of 13 people have been killed in attacks in Israel since March 22, including some carried out by assailants linked to or inspired by the Islamic State group.
Over the same period, at least nine Palestinians have been killed, including assailants.
- ‘No glory in terror’ -
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas condemned the attack, saying “the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians only leads to a further deterioration of the situation,” the Palestinians’ official Wafa news agency reported.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington stood with Israel “in the face of senseless terrorism and violence”.

Fathi Hazem, the attacker’s father, struck a defiant tone as he spoke to hundreds of well-wishers at the family home in Jenin, saying the Palestinians people were looking for “freedom and independence”.
Hamas praised what it called a “heroic operation”, while Islamic Jihad called it a “natural response” to Israel’s crimes. Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah lauded a “victorious” attack.
The UN envoy for Middle East peace, Tor Wennesland, denounced a “heinous attack” and slammed Hamas in a tweet.
“Deplore the welcoming of the attack by Hamas. There is no glory in terrorism,” he said.
- ‘A nightmare’ -
Ichilov Hospital was treating eight people, including one in a critical condition, while eight others with less serious injuries were taken to other hospitals and later discharged.

On Friday, mourners lit candles and left flowers outside the bar where the attack took place, as residents recounted the fear they felt.
“People on the street ran about shouting ‘there is a terrorist’ so we rushed inside a restaurant and people tripped as they panicked,” said Dror Yeheskel, 39, who was having a drink with a friend when the shooting started.
Noa Roberts, 21, who works at a bar across the street from the attack, said she heard dozens of bullets as terrified customers and staff raced to shelter and hid for two hours.
“It was so scary… it was like a nightmare,” Roberts said.
The attack came the night before the first Friday prayers in the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, and on Friday, Palestinian worshippers attended the al-Aqsa mosque complex in annexed east Jerusalem
The attack came on the eve of the first Friday prayers of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, as Israeli security forces were on alert.
The prayers passed off peacefully at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, Islam’s third holiest site.
Police said 55,000 Palestinians took part, while several Palestinians said they were turned back by Israeli security forces at the Qalandia checkpoint outside Jerusalem.
Last year, nightly demonstrations in the Al-Aqsa compound and elsewhere in east Jerusalem escalated into 11 days of war between Israel and Hamas.

Crisis-hit Sri Lanka hikes rates as protests spiral
Apr 08 2022
Riot police attempt to block protesters during a rally near the prime minister's house in Colombo
Colombo (AFP) - Cash-strapped Sri Lanka’s central bank hiked interest rates by a record 700 basis points Friday as police fired tear gas at hundreds of students protesting over the economic crisis.
Severe shortages of food and fuel, alongside lengthy electricity blackouts, have led to weeks of widespread anti-government demonstrations – with calls for President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign.
The latest protests saw students try to march to the national parliament on Friday.
Monks, who had largely rallied the Sinhala-Buddhist majority to elect Rajapaksa at the November 2019 polls, were also seen joining demonstrations in the capital Colombo.
Demonstrators nationwide carried placards saying “Gota go home”, demanding Rajapaksa and his administration step down over the country’s worst economic crisis since independence in 1948.
- Damage control -
The Central Bank of Sri Lanka said its benchmark lending rate had been raised to 14.5 percent to “stabilise the exchange rate” after the rupee tumbled over 35 percent in a month.
The rate for deposits was also increased by seven percentage points to 13.5 percent as reports said Sri Lanka’s rupee was the worst-performing currency in the world, edging out the Russian ruble.
The bank’s newly appointed governor, Nandalal Weerasinghe, said attempts to control foreign exchange markets and keep interest rates artificially low in the past year had contributed to the unprecedented economic chaos.
“We are now in damage control mode,” Weerasinghe said at his first press conference since replacing Ajith Cabraal, who was virtually forced out Monday as the country was on the brink of bankruptcy.
“We would not have had to make such a sharp increase if rates had been raised incrementally over a period of time,” Weerasinghe said, vowing to relax exchange controls introduced by his predecessor.
The bank said the shock-treatment rate hike was due to its belief that the embattled island’s inflation, which is already at record levels, could get worse.
The Colombo Consumer Price Index rose 18.7 percent in March while food inflation stood at more than 25 percent, but private analysts placed inflation at over 50 percent in the month.
International rating agencies have downgraded Sri Lanka as fears grow that it could default on its $51 billion external debt after foreign reserves fell below $2 billion at the end of March.
This week, Rajapaksa appointed a panel of experts to organise a restructuring of foreign debt.
His government is preparing for bailout negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, and finance ministry officials told AFP the panel will prepare a programme for sovereign bond-holders and other creditors to take a haircut.
“What Sri Lanka is keen to do is avoid a hard default,” a source from the ministry who requested anonymity told AFP.
“It will be a negotiated restructuring of the debt with the help of the IMF.”
Meetings with the IMF are set to begin by next week but finance minister Basil Rajapaksa – the president’s brother – resigned on Sunday night, along with nearly the entire cabinet.
The country is still without a replacement, with his successor Ali Sabry quitting after just one day in office.
On Friday, Sabry told parliament that he was still in the job because no one was willing to accept the finance portfolio.
- European push -
Colombo-based diplomats from European Union member states, which form a key export market for Sri Lanka, on Friday asked the government to immediately embark on reforms to revive the economy.
“We stress the extreme urgency of the situation, which requires the authorities to start in-depth discussions with the International Monetary Fund,” the diplomats said in a joint statement.
Public anger is at fever pitch, and on Saturday thousands of people are expected to take part in what likely will be the biggest protest since the crisis began.
In an apparent bid to head off more protests, the government on Thursday declared extra public holidays for next week to coincide with the traditional Sinhalese and Tamil New Year.
Opposition parties have rejected an overture from the president to form a unity administration and instead joined calls for him to step down.
The shortages of essentials have been caused by a wide-ranging import ban as Sri Lanka seeks to conserve its meagre foreign currency reserves to pay its debts.
In recent years the vital tourism sector has also been hit hard by Islamist bomb attacks in 2019 and the coronavirus pandemic, which dried up remittances from Sri Lankans abroad.
Economists say the crisis has been exacerbated by government mismanagement, years of accumulated borrowing and ill-advised tax cuts.
