Aries Solar Eclipse Miniscopes

Eclipse Miniscopes
New Beginnings Are Inevitable.
This forward is written by Aubrey Houdeshell of the Graveyard Roses. Miniscopes are still written by me. The Solar Eclipse in Aries 29º is on April 20th at 12:12 AM ET. This year Aries Season is bookended by two New Moons in Aries, both at the Anaretic Degree. Where we kicked off the Astrological New Year at 0º Aries, we close out the season at 29º, an all too poetic correspondence to the unique nature of what this second New Moon symbolizes.
The first, and maybe most important, thing to note about this New Moon is that it’s an Eclipse. Occurring for the first time along the Aries/Libra axis, this lunation marks a potent shift for the collective, as we’ve been working along the Taurus/Scorpio axis since late 2021 just before the Lunar Nodes prepared to shift into the latter pair of signs. Now, the pattern repeats itself as we prepare for the Lunar Nodes to shift once again, this time into Aries in Libra in mid-July of this year.
As far as eclipses go, they are notorious for change; it is very often that they end up eclipsing something - or someone! - out of our lives. Here in Aries, we are given the opportunity to say goodbye to old versions of ourselves, and hello to new, more authentic ones. Aries asks us to look at themes surrounding our individuality, our ambition, drive, ability to act and assert ourselves, our passions, and our rage. As this New Moon Eclipse is also conjunct Jupiter, now at the very end of its journey in Aries, we are gifted a moment to reflect on everything Jupiter has brought into our lives while transiting the sign of the Ram and to capitalize and expand upon those themes in a BIG way.
The leader of this lunation is Mars, now about halfway through its journey in Cancer, who receives support from Mercury in Taurus via a sextile. As we are just over 24 hours out from Mercury Retrograde, we are deep in the pre-retrograde shadow, and therefore things may already feel they’re going nowhere fast anyway. With the initiation into Eclipse Season, it may be best to just sit back and let things transpire as they are meant to, rather than trying to charge full steam ahead. Remember that both Cancer and Taurus prefer to move slowly, thriving on safety and comfort above all else. There is a need to make sure that both are present before doing anything else.
Mercury is also conjunct Uranus underneath this lunation, bringing a further element of surprise to the already strange landscape of Mercury Retrograde energy. Uranus can feel exciting, electric even, as it brings flashes of insight and revelation via conversations or news. Between this, the retrograde energy, and eclipse energy, it may be best to expect the unexpected and take your time when figuring out how to move forward.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 25º to 29º or 0º to 5º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
Before we dive into the horoscopes, I also wanted to share a very special chat on this eclipse with Aubrey Houdeshell. We explore themes of the upcoming eclipse series and what to expect. I am hoping to eventually create some audio blogs/podcast style recordings and am in the creative and play stage with this. So, as you have space, please feel free to give this a listen.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
1st House | Drive
Happy Solar Eclipse, Aries! This one furthers what you began on March 21st! It falls in your sign and is the start of an entirely new cycle for you. We now are beginning the Aries/Libra eclipse series, where you will be at the forefront of the eclipses in the next 18–24 months! Right now, what you should be looking to nourish is yourself.
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? Doors are opening for you, especially as you have had Jupiter in your sign for the last many months. You may have been trying things out or in search of ways to expand or grow. This eclipse will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you and what won’t. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now.
The Sun and Moon are doubly supported by Jupiter and Saturn — each bestowing their own gift. Saturn is stabilizing the energy of this lunation for you in your 12th House. It is keeping you mindful of your space and where you are putting your energy. Meanwhile, Jupiter is finishing its time in your sign, continuing to help you see progress in anything that you desire. This is not just a time to dream big, but move in and with those dreams!
Uranus is a key player at this eclipse as it closely joins Mercury (which will retrograde just one day later). It adds an aura of excitement and surprise, perhaps triggering an unexpected event. This could come in terms of your resources, as it also sits in your 2nd House. Whatever crops up, try not to worry or fret, there is a positive outcome around the corner, especially as the retrograde will have you figuring out all the details in the weeks to come. Uranus’ presence at this lunation adds energy and verve, almost as if you are feeling ready and willing to take on whatever comes your way! It is motivating you to take hold of your worth, pushing you closer to recognizing how valuable you really are.
Use this eclipse to focus on yourself. Work on discovering new pieces of your identity and releasing parts of you that no longer serve you. Be fueled by your desires and passions, run with your ideas. Motivation is key. You are able to make anything you want come to fruition, especially as the doors swing open just for you. Stand in your power. Embrace the spotlight. Own every facet of your being. This is the start of something good!
Taurus & Taurus Rising
12th House | Withdraw
Taurus, take time to rest. Please! We are heading into your season shortly (in mere hours after this lunation), but first, we have the eclipse, and soon, Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign. So, you will have a very full plate in the coming weeks. There is a feeling of being run down, tired, and needing space to recollect yourself. Honestly, you need to listen to that feeling!
This New Moon eclipse is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it!
Jupiter and Saturn are supporting players at this lunation, both championing you in different ways. Saturn sits in your 11th House, where you are finding security and grounding in your long-term goals — perhaps even the people that support you. Jupiter, on the other hand, is finishing its time in your 12th House, where you have learned the value of belief and self-trust. Once Jupiter enters Taurus on May 16th, you will fully realize/actualize all of the work you’ve been doing that no one has seen yet.
You may be the harbinger of excitement, surprise, or spontaneity around this lunation! I know this may seem out of character for your steadfast nature, but Uranus is closely linked to Mercury — both in your sign! There is a jolting feeling and an inexplicable need for freedom! Some of you may take a fool’s leap or make a shocking discovery around this time! However, I don’t want this to scare you. Even through this whirlwind energy, there is a lot of support — especially from Mars! Mars gives power and focus around this time from your 3rd House, adding in mutual support and fresh ideas.
Use this eclipse to withdraw a bit where you can. Find more peace in everyday life — including work/life balance. Take time to rest and recharge. Tie up loose ends and close doors that need to be shut. Re-engage with yourself, replenish your energy, and enjoy downtime (by creating it). Listen to your intuition more and record your dreams. This is an opportunity for you to truly let go and open yourself up to something greater.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
11th House | Hope
We enter the newly minted Solar Eclipse in Aries, where you will have endless support. This eclipse is unlike many others we have experienced in the last few years. So many aspects align to make this one a powerhouse with added excitement!
With this lunation hanging out in your 11th House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic.
Jupiter and Saturn show their own support at this eclipse. Saturn sextiles the Sun and Moon from your 10th House, welcoming career or work opportunities from people you may know! Additionally, there is a more grounded approach to your long-term aspirations. Jupiter is continuing to expand your network and circle. For the next few weeks, you will find yourself in the right place around the right people. If someone outstretches a hand or chooses to show up — don’t turn them away. Lean into their help/support.
Uranus is so interestingly positioned at this eclipse! It sits closely to your ruler, Mercury. So you may get an overwhelming sensation or intuitive hit at this time. Some of you may get news that sends you into a pause or a need to reflect! Alternatively, there could be a missing piece of valuable information that comes to light. Don’t let this scare you though. There is so much support at this eclipse, that whatever crops up will have a happier ending. Mars is very helpful to this energy and gifts the energy to see anything through. All the right people are noticing you.
Use this eclipse to call on your community. Ask for support where necessary and seek out new methods of networking. Focus on your friendships and nurture the ones that prove to strengthen you. Look at your goals, your future, your hopes. What do you want out of the next five years? Three years? Who can help you get there? How can you make this happen? These are questions to reflect on — just remember to not let your dreams die. Keep the faith alive.

10th House | Ambition
This season has had you working hard! However, there may be points of refining and reflecting, especially as Mercury stations retrograde on April 21st. But before this happens, we welcome the energy of a much anticipated Solar Eclipse in Aries! Your career life is about to see vast changes and improves in the next 18–24 months.
This New Moon (Solar Eclipse) will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want — especially as Jupiter has spent the last few months in this area of your chart! Nothing has been in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, as well! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
The Sun and Moon are supported by Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn sits in fellow Water sign, Pisces, in your 9th House. You are seeing that your goals are attainable and that what was once a pipedream is now a reality. Lean into the idea that you can actualize your aspirations. Jupiter is finishing its time in your 10th House, showing you the expansive growth that you’ve undergone in your public life. Recognition is likely now — as is validation. If you have been trying to “uplevel” in any way, it is all coming to fruition now. Use this time to plant those seeds that you want to see grow in terms of your work, career, image, and legacy.
Uranus plays a key role in this eclipse, as it aligns with Mercury. It acts as a wildcard, but almost positively so! It seems that a contact, friend, or someone in your sphere of influence will surprise you! You can get unsuspecting news or be asked to do something you least expect! It feels that something is coming to light in a whole new way — and this may even be in relation to your future. Maybe you are being asked to shift your priorities to make way for something more exciting! Mars, in your sign, is very helpful to this energy, adding motivation to take a leap of faith around this time! If there are goals you want to achieve, it seems pathways will begin to open.
Use this eclipse to focus on your career and your life direction. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Be noticed and seek opportunities that make you more visible. Call the shots and show your leadership qualities. Strive for new goals and scale ever-higher mountains. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and relish in your successes. See the power within you and let that be what pushes you into the next phase of your life. You are moving toward such great things.

9th House | Opportunity
You are reaching new heights! You have recently taken a leap of faith, and you know that there is no way you can go back now! This eclipse is a New Moon, one that opens doors of opportunity and creates possibility — a portal into something new. Eclipses hold compounding energy, where we find ourselves at a crossroads with multiple avenues to explore. For you, in particular, you will see that obstacles that were once present begin to dissipate. Perhaps this is a change of perspective or maybe roads starting to open for you.
With this Solar Eclipse in your 9th House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experience you have had and applying it future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are bold in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
Jupiter and Saturn have been waving their flags in support of the Sun and Moon now. Saturn in your 8th House has been grounding you deeper into the intimate crevices of life. You are willing to face some fears that have long kept you trapped. This will only help you as Jupiter finishes its time in your 9th House. Out of the shadow and into the light — nothing is too hard as Jupiter encourages you to see the endless possibilities that lie before you. Whatever you begin now will take shape in the coming 18–24 months. Once Jupiter enters Taurus on May 16th, you will see gold beams in your career life.
Now, there may be a surprise at this eclipse! Uranus is conjunct Mercury, caught in an embrace. This adds an aura of excitement, whimsy, and even a shock factor! Perhaps new information comes to light about your job. Some of you may up and leave, while others may witness a restructure. Alternatively, you could just receive unexpected news. It is hard to say what it will be, as Uranus is a wildcard. However, it does seem to work out best for you in the end, especially with Mars in a helpful position for this energy. Mars provides a sense of relief and focus!
Use this eclipse to explore new places — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Challenge your perspective, open your mind, and reach beyond current limitations. Seek help in order to achieve your goals and put yourself out there to gain notoriety. There is so much happening around you. If you feel confused, take a step back and pull yourself out of the details. See the big picture and soon, you will know which path to take.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
8th House | Intimacy
We are in the beginning stages of an eclipse series that impacts your finances and resources. You may be taught lessons but also gifted opportunities around value, worth, and shared resources. As we go through this cycle, you will see that a large part of this experience is to provide a sense of closure and conflict resolution. New pathways that you had not expected will open up.
The eclipse is a New Moon in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This eclipse may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
With Jupiter and Saturn so supportive of this eclipse, you will find this to be a crescendo moment for you. Saturn stabilizes the lunation from your 7th House, where a partner or close relationship provides you with the support and grounding you need. Jupiter, on the other hand, will continue its quiet expansion through the shadowy part of your chart. If you are hoping to deepen a relationship, this eclipse can help you. Alternatively, you may find yourself forming an important/powerful business relationship as well. Jupiter and Saturn really have you pay attention to whom or what you commit yourself. If you have been afraid to make a move or take a risk, let this lunation be a green light for you.
You may have some surprises creep out around this time, as Uranus joins hands with Mercury! This is like a whirlwind and wildcard energy that seems to tell you to expect the unexpected! You may really feel the itch to have some freedom or start a new adventure at this time! This is unusual for you, as you often like to take a more grounded approach. However, Uranus seems to be sending lightning bolts to jolt you! But it isn’t bad at all! Mars is very supportive of this energy and welcomes friends or loved ones that may inspire you.
Use this eclipse to reflect on your growth and how you have transformed in the last year. Seek new resources. Get intimate with a partner or close relationship — even yourself. Focus on the power you hold personally, finding new ways of sharing who you are. Explore your depths, take hold of your fears, and no longer be held back by cyclic patterns that keep you trapped. This is about seeing new pathways that had once been hidden from view. You hold the keys.
Libra & Libra Rising
7th House | Unity
You are one of the two stars for the next 18 months. The eclipse series will be sitting in your sign and your polarity, creating waves and pathways that were not present to you before. You may see your life change in ways you will not expect. Some of you may take on more autonomy and independence and/or change how you engage in your relationships. Others will see growth opportunities and significant relationships strengthen. Whatever it is, there has been a flowing exchange of energy that will lead to massive personal growth.
Now, a New Moon enters your 7th House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, while others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this eclipse an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon in your polarity, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can be very invigorating. Receptivity is huge now.
Saturn and Jupiter are both benefactors at this eclipse. Saturn sits in your 6th House, grounding you into better routines and daily practices. It seems that you may need this as changes become present in other areas of your life. Focus on the small improvements that will have a lasting impact. Jupiter is in your 7th, expanding much of what the eclipse will bring. It is showing you the right people or relationships to focus on. You may really learn to see yourself in a new light now, as well. Jupiter is giving you a perspective that you may not have been privy to before. This will only help you grow.
The energy of this eclipse is magnified by the conjunction of Uranus and Mercury! Uranus adds a dash of whimsy, spontaneity, surprise, or unexpected news! Some of you may get a bonus or receive a financial gift around this lunation, while others may surprisingly have a very intimate conversation with a partner or someone close to you. It seems that issues are not as scary to face, and you are more willing to confront them! Mars is very helpful at this lunation – providing support and relief. With Mars in your 10th House, pay attention to matters at work that could provide new opportunities for you.
Use this eclipse to focus on your boundaries. Understand the roles that you play in others’ lives and what they play in yours. See where you can receive and know what you have to give. Form new relationships and bury old ones that don’t support you. Seek out ways to create a better relationship with yourself above all else. Nothing will ever be as solid as the love you can give to yourself.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
6th House | Integration
Knowing your limits can be important. This month you were tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate present. You have been taught the value of your needs and the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone or really anyone at all.
This eclipse falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize well-being more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This eclipse opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the eclipse manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is eclipsed out, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
Saturn and Jupiter are supportive of this eclipse. Saturn is newly traveling your 5th House — grounding you in your joy and creativity. This is where you will find your authentic self, in your pleasure. Happiness is a non-negotiable now. Jupiter sitting in your 6th House continues to help you get ahold of your health and well-being. Use this as a green light to go to the doctor, healer, or practitioner. Explore new, innovative ways to tackle old health habits. Workwise, you could see an expansive opportunity, contract, or client come into your life.
Uranus brings an unexpected bit of news or energy around this eclipse. It joins Mercury acting like a wildcard! A person may show their true colors, for better or for worse. Some of you may be whisked away with whimsy and spontaneity with someone you consider to be close to you or you and a partner could get exciting news. Others may have to face a reality that they were not entirely ready to see. However, this isn’t quite as scary as it seems. Mars is very helpful at this lunation and brings a sense of motivation. It seems that efforts to take risks or put yourself out there more will be met with positive reception. Now is the time to be a bit bolder. Commitments made will be unexpectedly supported.
Use this eclipse to bring everything together. See how the small things in your life impact everything else. Pay attention to your body and work on making amends with how you may have abused it in the past. Work on getting healthier — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Look for opportunities for growth in your work, daily life, and routines. Be flexible. See that perfection is not the goal — the process teaches us more than the outcome. Work on taking care of yourself.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
5th House | Creation
It is time to restore your sense of optimism! This New Moon comes in to remind you that life can be fun and playful! Over the next 18 months, you will learn the value of personal joy and collective happiness. Now, as this Solar Eclipse ushers in a new pathway, you can walk forward in a more focused manner.
The New Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcomed. This eclipse reminds us that life is something to experience and celebrate. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this eclipse a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is ok to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Saturn is very supportive of this eclipse in your 4th House. It seems that grounding yourself in your idea of tradition and reclaiming your thoughts around family will be necessary. This is the basis of your joy. You need a home to support your vision. Jupiter is also helpful, as it continues through your 5th House for just a few more weeks. You will find yourself continually stimulated by creativity and wanting/desiring to play. Lean into this playful energy! Let loose and have fun. Don’t take things so seriously. This is a space to dig more into your self-expression.
Uranus enters the chat in a surprising manner — and we wouldn’t want it any other way! It meets up with Mercury to bring about a unique or exciting opportunity regarding work or a project. Alternatively, some of you may see a major reorganization at work that leaves open spaces where you may end up fitting — just make sure you get the compensation you deserve. If you work for yourself, there will be chances for an unexpected connection that may lead you to more work! Mars is very supportive of this energy from your 8th House. Emotionally, you seem ready to take on whatever comes your way — and it may come with a bonus!
Use this New Moon to find new ways to have fun. Follow your heart more and listen to your inner child. Seek new ways to engage in pleasure and creativity. Let loose. If you are looking to conceive (a child, a project or anything), let this eclipse be the thing that pushes you to start or get more focused on it. Anything that pulls at your heart will be favored. So really get in touch with what you desire most.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
4th House | Refuel
The next year will see major changes to your internal and external worlds. With the eclipse series falling in fellow Cardinal signs (Aries and Libra), it will be impacting your 4th and 10th Houses. After what feels like a cycle of constant evolution and change – you can now start a new phase in your 4th House.
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the eclipse will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the next 18–24 months, you will be redefining what family truly is, or what it means to you. You may be putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This eclipse tells you all of that work isn’t for nothing. You can rejoice in the power you may call back and honor the peace you will create.
Saturn, your ruler, is quite helpful at this eclipse, as is Jupiter. Saturn is now in your 3rd House, bringing you more focus to your ideas and the community you have around you. Friends are more supportive or grounding now. They, in many ways, are a part of that growing family dynamic. Committing to an idea or an area of focus may also benefit you now as Saturn sits in a cerebral part of your chart. Jupiter will finish its time in your 4th House in the coming weeks. You will find that whatever Jupiter has illuminated for you will be the focus of the coming year or two. There will be no shortage of growth opportunities.
Uranus adds some whirlwind at this lunation, as it forms a conjunction to Mercury. This creates surprising circumstances — perhaps more surprising yourself than anything else. Uranus is sitting in your 5th House, giving you some gusto on proving to yourself that you are worthy enough to take risks. You know that you have some exciting opportunities that lie ahead, and it seems that part of that is giving yourself more credit and having more faith in the journey before you. Some of you may find out about an unexpected conception, a new project, meet a new person of interest, or even just feel creatively charged! Whatever it is, Uranus wants you to have fun and really just lean into anything that brings pleasure and adventure to your life. Mars is also helpful, as it may bring someone into your life who motivates you more than you could have imagined.
Use this eclipse to settle in and come back to center. Focus on your roots and your family. Find security in your emotional foundations and create a sanctuary for yourself. Find peace in the quiet. Work on things around the house and spruce up your space. If you want to move, this eclipse could give you the boost you need to find the right place! It is all coming together now.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
3rd House | Ideas
Your head is filled with so many great ideas! This eclipse is a New Moon, one that creates possibility — a doorway into something new. Eclipses hold compounding energy, where we find ourselves at a crossroads with multiple avenues to go down. For you, you may find yourself faced with needing to use your voice more — perhaps being flexible in ways that you had not been before.
The eclipse falls in your 3rd House where you are tasked to learn, adapt, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the eclipse. Perhaps you may hear news that you have been waiting for! You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly as well, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Saturn and Jupiter both support the eclipse! Saturn now sits in your 2nd House, grounding you into your natural talents, your self-worth, and your value. You are being tasked with using your resources wisely. You may find that commitments you make when it comes to money will be long-lasting. Jupiter, on the other hand, is quite expansive in your 3rd House. It is widening your net and with whom you are in communication. Ideas can feel like they are on fire, with no shortage of inspiration. The goal is to direct that energy and channel it into something tangible.
Uranus is closely tied to Mercury, where you may receive some surprising news. It impacts your 4th House, perhaps adding a dash of wildcard energy into your home life. There may be points of closure, where you are told to prepare for a new cycle in your home/family sphere. You could be making great discoveries in terms of your heritage or roots. Others of you may happen upon the right home, contractor, or rental! It is hard to say how Uranus will manifest as it is unpredictable, but don’t be afraid! Mars is quite supportive of this energy from your 6th House. So, on the flip side, you will likely push yourself into a new routine and health regimen.
Use this eclipse to speak your magic into the world. Communication is key, and your words hold more power than they have in a long time. Don’t be afraid to tell others what you are thinking, but also be open to what they have to say. Create important dialogue and have those tough conversations. Be flexible and adapt to the ever-changing tides in life. You are being asked to integrate your experiences and open yourself up to new possibilities.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
2nd House | Stability
We are now basically on the other side of Aries season, but the attention remains on your stability. We are entering a pivotal time, eclipse season, opening new doors of opportunity for you. So, turn your attention to planting what you can, if you can — especially at this New Moon. You may hear that eclipses are not a time to do manifestation work, but this one is quite beautiful and powerful. Mercury will station retrograde the day after, and we will be more focused on refining then.
This New Moon is in your 2nd House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you being valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is bold in Aries, so it is working to showcase your pioneering spirit! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. A major theme will be personal value. You are asked to own every facet of your talents and your experience. Notice what comes easy, what feels natural — this is where you will be most abundant. You don’t need to work so hard to achieve the success you desire. You are inherently worthy.
Saturn and Jupiter are both very helpful at this eclipse. Saturn is in your sign, reminding you that you are more grounded and focused than you are given credit for. It will help you play the long game and tune into your tenacity. Much can be achieved through your willingness to even try what you normally wouldn’t. Jupiter, now finishing its time in your 2nd House, is continuing to expand your resources. Offers and opportunities can be abundant in the coming weeks. Jupiter has been a guiding light in the last few months, showing you what the eclipses will churn and expand in the coming year or so. Don’t let scarcity get you down — you have the resources you need within you to make anything come to fruition.
New and insightful information/news seems to factor strongly, especially as Uranus joins with Mercury at this lunation! Surprising news or new contacts can pop up now. You may feel busy or in demand in some way. Uranus is ensuring that you are finding the right people and the right words. Dialogue and conversations are a point of growth. You could be buzzing with excitement or seeking to learn as much as possible right now, too. Uranus could also show up as an unexpected support or newfound inspiration. Mars is very supportive of this energy, as well. So you have the motivation, drive, and energy to move with whatever comes your way! You may even be creatively charged.
Use this eclipse to focus on the ground you stand on. What do you value? When was the last time you showed yourself respect? Seek out ways to show yourself that you can rely on yourself. Build a greater space for personal security and understand the value of owning every aspect of your own humanity. Find new resources and open up doors for working through financial stress and abundance. There’s no scarcity in the world you have created for yourself now.
