There will be a penumbral Lunar Eclipse on that day at 04'08"Sagittarius. According to CafeAstrology, the Sabian symbol for that degree is:
"An old owl sits alone on the branch of a large tree."
I
don't use the Sabians often, but I find they frequently have chilling
accuracy with regards to eclipses, and the effects of an eclipse will
reverberate for six months after a lunar or a year after a solar (until
the Sun returns to the eclipsed degree and begins a new cycle).
On that day, a worldwide protest is scheduled to protest the use and development of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), which are at this point a large portion of our food supply and are showing devastating links to major health issues, the evolution of "superweeds" and the overuse of pesticides, which is contributing to the sharp crash in the global domesticated bee population (or, as some call it, the Bee-pocalypse) that threatens the global food supply.
Given the conjunction of these two events, and also in respect to the multiplicity of events and times on that day, I will explore the astrology of the march, without tying my interpretation down to any particular location. (The chart is drawn for Greenwich, ENG for convenience and uses the time as given by NASA. Though the Sun and Moon are about a degree off exact in the chart as shown, the difference is negligible and will not affect chart interpretation.)
I
will join this March Against Monsanto and support it locally, but I hold out little hope of it actually creating the
change that needs to be made. Astrologically, it's just not there. The symbol does not support it - wisdom
(owl) goes unheard (alone) by the world (tree), nor does the chart carry
the powerful indicators of a sea change. See below the jump:

The magick of business and mass movements
16 April 2013
Sun: 27' Aries Moon: 14' Cancer
Psychologists and sociologists have been trying for decades to understand "the mob mentality." Usually they study it in negative terms: preventing riots and so forth, but occasionally it gets applied to wider social movements. It does not make sense, how one can get a handful, dozens, hundreds, millions, a whole nation, behind a concept that none would consider on an individual basis - and yet it can be done. History has borne out the devastating consequences of the misuse of this power. We see it daily in the insanity of the badly misnamed American "Tea Party," although to be fair there is also a good dose of schitzophrenia there that should be addressed in another post. And yet, the problem of the "mob mind" might well be best understood as both elementary and elemental.
