Get ready for a powerful cosmic event as a Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Aries is set to grace the skies on April 8th at 2:21 PM EST/ 11:21 AM PST, impacting a large part of Northern America- the first of its kind since August 2017! Solar eclipses are renowned for their potency, serving as powerful catalysts for change. What sets this eclipse apart is its occurrence in Aries, the fiery first sign of the zodiac, following closely on the heels of the Spring Equinox. This alignment hints at profound karmic shifts in the year ahead, symbolizing the perfect union of the sun and moon and offering the potential for breakthroughs and transformative journeys.
In the sign of Aries, this eclipse puts matters related to personal plans, courage, independence, and self-assertion in strong focus. We have the opportunity to make significant strides, amplified by the energy of the eclipse. This transformative period opens doors to new possibilities and allows us to dream bigger than ever before. While eclipses imbue each of us with spiritual strength, they also carry an essence of chaos within them. Prayer (puja) to the Goddess Kali Ma is an excellent way to transform this eclipse into the blessing of protection, strength, and positive transformation. Additionally, engaging in mantra practice during the eclipse hours can amplify the potency of our intentions.
However, there’s a wild card ...The Solar Eclipse in Aries aligns with Mercury (in retrograde until 4/25), the Centaur Chiron, and the North Node of Destiny, all in the same zodiac sign. Decisions made during this period hold the potential for enduring repercussions, urging us to confront our vulnerabilities and deepest wounds. Embrace this eclipse as it nudges you out of your comfort zone, compelling you to reconnect with your authentic self. It’s time to take a good, hard look in the mirror, reflect and reevaluate who you want to be. It's your life, so trust the journey, even if and/or when fear arises. This Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon will allow you to see what is desired and who you want to be.
