Eclipses hold the power to alter the course of your life. They are portals of fast transformation that usher in periods of endings and new beginnings. It’s an exciting, yet volatile time!
The upcoming Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Libra & Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Aries will have particular significance for those with planets in cardinal signs around the same degrees in: Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn – but this energy will touch everyone’s lives.
This eclipse pairing initiates a fresh eclipse cycle on the Aries-Libra axis, marking a shift from the previous Taurus-Scorpio cycle since November 2021. This is also the first Libra- Aries Eclipse portal since 2005. Significant beginnings and endings will unfold in the areas of your chart where Aries and Libra reside.
And just in case you’re wondering, YES you have Aries and Libra in your chart regardless of if you have planets there.
We recommend reading these horoscopes for both your Sun and Rising sign and taking the pieces that resonate.
Extra Credit: The last time we experienced eclipses on this axis was between December 2004 and June 2006. Reflect on that period for additional insight on the potential themes reemerging now.
WHY THIS ECLIPSE is a BIG DEAL
First, the Aries Eclipse on April 8 will be FULLY VISIBLE across the United States (and a bit into Canada)… and is creating a a very distinct shape with the last Total Solar Eclipse of 2017… this can’t just be a coincidence right?
There hasn't been a Libra-Aries eclipse portal like this since…2005! A 19-year cycle is closing and another 19-year one is starting…
Four planets, plus the North Node and Chiron, will be in Aries, bringing an abundance of FIRE power, and demanding action.
Chiron’s tight conjunction to the Aries Solar Eclipse is sensitive – it will illuminate deep wounds asking to be healed and call out your inner leader and mentor.
Saturn will be conjunct Venus during the Libra Lunar Eclipse and Mars during the Aries Solar Eclipse asking you to do the work.
And if that wasn’t enough, Mercury will be retrograde, countering the fiery Aries energy with a pull to slow down and move inward.
Plus, it's the Astrological New Year — this portal colors your entire year ahead, so engaging in it with awareness, intention and purpose is key!
LIBRA LUNAR ECLIPSE: MARCH 25TH
Lunar eclipses, such as the one we're anticipating, are moments of looking back. The nature of the moon, ruler of memory and the past, prompts us to reflect on our journey thus far.
As opposed to forward-looking solar eclipses, lunar eclipses invite us to check our footing. Looking back six months to the last eclipses – October 14th and October 28th – can offer insights.
ARIES SOLAR ECLIPSE: APRIL 8TH
A solar eclipse in Aries is far from subtle, especially one conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer, and teacher to heroes. This Aries Solar Eclipse brings a burst of fiery energy aimed towards new beginnings and new areas of self-discovery.
With Mercury also retrograde during this Solar Eclipse, you may feel torn between the fast-paced, initiating energy of Aries, with Mercury’s invitation to slow down and look within to cultivate your inner hero.
Aries, the first zodiac sign, embodies passion and courage, signaling potent new beginnings, and forging a new path that is your own. This eclipse demands fresh starts, but to create anew, we often must make space.
Prepare for potential endings, as they pave the way for the dynamic, passionate energies of Aries to take root. This is why we’ve designed this experience to start off with practices of composting so there is space to activate a new potential within.
