Dear friends,
The big day is approaching! On Monday, April 8 at 2:20 PM Eastern US time, we expect one Total solar eclipseone whose path crosses the North American continent, making it extra powerful for those of us who live here.
In addition to finding the Sun and Moon exactly conjunct (as is always the case for a New Moon) at 19 degrees, 24 minutes Aries, and next to the Node of Fate (as is always the case for Eclipses) at 15 degrees, 37 minutes Aries. . . we ALSO have the Wounded Healer’s asteroid Chiron which is on the same degree – down to the minute – as the Sun and Moon. . . AND, just over Chiron’s shoulder, the Goddess of Discord Eris and retrograde Mercury, conjunct, also to the degree. (This is easier to see than read: scroll down for an image of the map!)
So much fierce, precise, gripping, passionate, impulsive Aries energy. The events and inner experiences we encounter now all tend to shake us out of our patterns. There are plenty of opportunities to awaken and heal.
The New Lunar Eclipse forms a close semisextile with Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, both of which correspond to Venus, which corresponds to Mars in Pisces, which ALSO rules the Aries planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Eris, Chiron and the North Node).
At this point it becomes clear to us what we want to do, although our enthusiasm is greater than our ability to act: it is a bit like driving with the brakes on. However, the brakes will be released when Mars and Saturn meet next week.
Venus, in the Eclipse chart, has recently transited Neptune: so SHE is at least clear about what she wants to change, and excited to get started. What you love is important, go for it! Apparent obstacles can be overcome through focused, sustained action over time.
Take the long view: do a little bit of everything you want to do every day. Mars and Saturn in Pisces can be passive-aggressive or simply passive (indirect, confused, and hesitant), but that’s not the archetype we’re looking for. Instead, be like Niagara Falls: wear away the stones. You’ll gain momentum quickly!
And there’s nothing wrong with finding inspiration in what irritates you.
This Eclipse kicks off a new 19-year cycle around our identity and personal destiny, last activated in April 2005, and before that in April 1986, and before that, in April 1967. What is your existence like for the last time? always changed? How do you want things to change now? We are asked to adopt the LONG vision.
To learn more about this extraordinary Eclipse (including where the Fingers of God are in the chart!) I invite you to join me tomorrow evening — Sunday, April 7 at 7:30 PM Eastern — for a very special edition of my monthly New Moon Manifestation Circle webinar on a new platform.
I hope to see you there!
Big hugs,
Anne
