New Moon Total Solar Eclipse at 19° Aries.
Remember, beginnings can sometimes be disguised as closed doors or endings
On April 8th, 2024, @ 2:18 PM EST, we have a New Moon Total Solar Eclipse at 19° Aries.
This new moon, occurring as a total solar eclipse in 19° Aries, marks the start of a new lunar cycle, with added intensity from the eclipse. This is also the first new moon of the astrological new year.
The Sun finds its most potent expression within the cardinal sign of Aries, the sign of its exaltation. Aries, governed by the fiery essence of Mars, ignites the flames of passion, courage, and a pioneering spirit.
Embodying the spirit of beginnings, Aries instills a sense of urgency and vitality in all endeavours.
The shadow side of Aries can manifest as impulsiveness, selfishness, and a tendency to act without considering the consequences. This shadow side of Aries energy may lead to conflicts, impatience, and the inability to see other perspectives.
ON SOLAR ECLIPSES:
Solar eclipses only happen during a new moon. This one is a total solar eclipse, which means the sun is completely covered. The moon is closest to the Earth in orbit.
Eclipses play the long game. If you're expecting something specific to happen exactly during the eclipse — don’t. It doesn't necessarily happen in that way.
Solar eclipses = beginnings and new opportunities.
Remember, beginnings can sometimes be disguised as closed doors or endings.
(They happen simultaneously).
Eclipses are considered the wild cards of astrology. They are significant astrological events that remind us of what is beyond our control—something that most humans find unsettling because of the desire for control. You always have agency, but total control, not so much.
It’s a time to go within; to rest, meditate, pray, tend to your emotions, & get curious about the ways Spirit (the universe, source, God.. whatever you call it) may be trying to communicate with you.
