Total Eclipse of the Heart

Jeepers! Where do I even start with the plethora of major astrological stuff going down right now? Some of the most significant cosmic events of 2024 are occurring over these two weeks. April is full on!

Massive event No. 1 — solar eclipse tomorrow!

The moon passes in front of the sun for the Aries new moon solar eclipse. We are closing the eclipse portal with one of the most talked about events of 2024, especially for those of us in the U.S. We can’t see the entire total eclipse here, but we do get to see a good part of it. Get your sexy eclipse glasses out and have a look. For us, the festivities start at 11:25 a.m., peak at 12:36 p.m. and end by 1:50 p.m.

The eclipse window is closing, but this solar eclipse is a time to plant seeds that will last for many years. What do you want to focus your manifesting energies upon? Aries is a sign of strength and individuality. Are there any areas of your life where you need to cultivate more courage and standing strong in your power?

During an eclipse, we experience an entire day, night and then day again — quickly. Outside the normal boundaries of time, eclipses can feel disorienting, for us and animals. A sense of living through a day and night in the span of mere hours can be mystifying. It’s best to be outdoors, grounded in nature, focusing on the seed of intention you want to grow over the coming years.

Eclipses are powerful energies, where the path of the sun, moon and earth intersect. This represents a meeting of spirit, soul and matter, respectively. The alignment is too powerful to flitter away the opportunity to create on a spiritual, soul-based and physical level.

This Aries solar eclipse highlights the healthy and unhealthy aspects of that archetypal energy. Look within to see where you stand resolutely in your individual strength. Are there any ways you could improve this? Alternatively, are you overcompensating by keeping people at bay? Could you soften your boundaries to let others get closer to you?

As if an eclipse isn’t enough, this one occurs exactly with Chiron, the wounded healer minor planet. And, I mean exactly — same degree and minutes of Aries. I’ve never seen anything like it.
