ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER APRIL 1-15, 2024
THE SOLAR ECLIPSE NEW MOON IS UPON US. This Eclipse in Aries on April 8 at 11 :21 AM PST promises anger, accidents and more war. Maybe some courage and correction, too.
Together with Mercury stationing on the retrograde side in Aries on April 1, disagreements, misunderstandings and outbursts get bigger, and blown out of proportion through April 24 when Mercury goes direct.
During the period of March 24- April 5, minds seem freeze framed in their own private movie. It’s a peepshow moment of group alienation.
If you’re trying to get anything to move forward this is NOT the time. The Tower of Babel is tipping. Hold onto your balance when things gyrate unpredictably.
The Eclipse is conjunct Chiron, the asteroid known as the wounded healer. In this intense position, an eclipse new moon usually brings new beginnings with a clear- the -decks intensity. This period will clear the decks of something and perhaps free you from a crippling burden.
Chiron brings a healing crisis. It focuses you on the original wound only to go deeper in order to be healed. The last round of Chiron at this degree is a good sign that what was originally a childhood crisis in your life that reactivated in the Summer of 2023 can be healed. Mars rules yang primal energy, sexuality, rage, fire and the ego of competition. If you’ve been suffering any of these conditions soon you can turn a corner.
The Eclipse positioned in Aries “disposes” to Mars which is in Pisces now conjunct Saturn. Watery darkness and deceptive actions. Mars and Saturn together spell trouble in astrology. There might be an event played off as an accident that is destructive and poses an international crisis. An action that happens in water and destroys by fire.
The term of an Eclipse is roughly six months forwards and backwards. What began six months ago in the first two weeks of October comes to a turning point this month.
Mercury retrograde on April 1 highlights discussions and decisions that started March 20-23. These decisions go through a reversal in understanding. It’s very possible that what is going in a right direction goes suddenly backwards in the next few weeks.
Stay close to home and have some survival items around, just in case. The Eclipse covers the country in darkness. A similar but lesser effect on August 21, 2017 greeted the first year of past President Trump. Is there a picture here about a country split in two?
Historically, eclipses were omens of disaster. The king fell sick, the empire suffered a downfall, countries were split in half. It’s a Macbeth moment that is Shakespearian in its’ reach.
In your individual life when there is passionate opposition with personal opinions, observe how things easily escalate to furor. Stay neutral or you might get your head blown off.
There will be fighting in the streets especially if there’s a demise of a pivotal person.
The next six months is the charm, forwards and backwards. Remember what happens during an eclipse is fated by the gods.
Court favor with fate and be a vessel for light. Everything exists on planet Earth in its’ equal and opposite manifestation. Sit in the middle of whatever you find yourself dealing with. Stay close to yourself and literally focus on your naval.
The times are fraught with a kind of opposition that reflects the group. Come together with your family and friends and co- workers. This cosmic event promises to be a funhouse mirror of what we are living through. Stay close to seeking truth and let the heart lead you through the dark shadow. There’s no turning back now.
ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS FOR SUN AND RISING SIGNS
ARIES there has been something quietly dying in your world. What you’ve suffered is about to change. It’s a new day for Aries. Confront the past that keeps recycling pain and accept the thing that is so hard. This will allow the new day and new option to manifest.
The Solar Eclipse in Aries brings the unpleasant memory of a childhood crisis back into your life. You can keep poking the wound or accept the thing by being neutral going forward. It’s up to you. Meditation helps dissolve the defenses. Free yourself, don’t fight yourself.
TAURUS has Uranus and Jupiter together in your sign. There can be a big gain now or a devastating loss. It depends on you being on the right side of truth. Let go of holding onto any negativity that keeps triggering your rage or grasping. If you can have all the feelings and come back to neutrality this period brings the hidden grace of forgiveness.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in your twelfth house exposes the secret that haunts you. Your mental awareness of this secret indicates one thing while your heart wants to go a different way. Honor your heart and lean into the healing crisis. You are approaching a turning point moment. Use your awareness to heal, not retaliate by being smart.
GEMINI struggles with Mercury retrograde in Aries. What you’re dealing with is a condition that you thought was over. The same old thing returns again in a different form. When will people get onto themselves? The call or email or letter or communique showed up and persists in its’ ability to swipe. Resist reacting with rage or sharp words.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon affects a new beginning with the important people in your life. It reanimates a childhood crisis that is not resolved. You’re in a different position and seem to hold all the cards. Be strong and stick to what you believe is right, not to what people tell you. After all everyone has their own motivation. Be in the know and don’t cave to popular opinion.
CANCER seeks a respite from the wear and tear of the last month. You’ve been trying to repair the healing crisis with patience and it didn’t go the way you wanted. People’s opinions reflect the degree of their unawareness. You might have outsmarted yourself. You’re walking a lonely path that seems right for you yet is hard, rocky and relentless. If you feel burnt out, take a break.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries promises a healing crisis redux. You don’t like to fight yet are capable of being silently aggressive when you want something. When anger is sparked deal with it in the moment without your history directing. There will be a reckoning this month when you face fear of loss and abandonment in a true way.
LEO has Fate amping you to consolidate or change your idea of what a partnership is. You’re being pressured by money or a power issue that seems life or death and is not going away. The home or property needs a reevaluation about what priority it holds for your family and business life.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon elevates the future to a new beginning through a healing crisis that has been hidden or ignored. So many crises are looming financially and yet the way through them is clear. It’s not what you wished for yet you can choose a direction to go in. Study the past to understand the lesson of the present. You have the strength you need to survive and lay the groundwork for a good result.
VIRGO has Saturn pressing in on you. Responsibility with what’s been put on the backburner is here. All the work of the last fourteen years reflects what you’ve built. It’s not the way you imagined yet there is enough to go in a newer truer direction. Trust your creativity to evolve a plan that allows the innovator in you to try things differently. People are not so generous and want to take advantage.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon brings a condition that calls attention to financial debts, money and power issues through a healing crisis. If this time evokes childhood and scarcity, emotionally or financially, don’t shrug off the part you played. Rather, use courage to make a timely correction in accepting what comes by being proactive with responsibility. You are capable of making it all work. Guard your health when stressed.
LIBRA has a lot on your mind. Even though things are supposed to be moving forward they’re not moving so fast. The frustration you’re having with others or Another is too much. You’d rather sit on your porch and ignore the world and go back to before today. A partnership turns back on itself and the hesitations that were hidden are asserting themselves. You can’t ignore what’s in your face.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon promises a new beginning by facing a childhood healing crisis that showed up from out of nowhere. The career and your reputation might get bumped by a correction. You are suffering physically, psychologically or spiritually if the burden you’re carrying is not equal. Try to not repeat the past by turning on the other with resentment. You have the strength to find the path out of the maze you find yourself in by staying in the center.
SCORPIO is up against a wall. As Pluto flirts with Aquarius, your new life keeps sending signals of beginning yet it’s hasn’t begun yet. Frustration with health/ work issues is high. The tiredness is unpredictable as your heart symbolically or physically is fluttering and then still. It’s a good time to receive benefits from work you’ve put in around clearing the past. You have the vision but you need energy and more time to cooperate.
The Full Moon Solar Eclipse sees your physicality protest when it’s too much. Allow the healing crisis from the past to begin a process of association that helps you understand why things are not moving. The karmic pattern of holding on is about fear and death. Scorpio is master of sexuality and understands death very well. Accept that all endings are a preparation. And you control the flow.
SAGITTARIUS is conflicted by the little annoying details of the last three to four months. Your business luck is changing; it goes up or down depending on what belief you live by. Don’t give people too much if dependency breeds resentment. The corrections you need to make are to strengthen the poles that holdup the big tent. The tent is shaking and needs more flexibility at the center.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries in the fifth house brings a healing crisis. Don’t gamble impulsively. Kids are struggling with fear by escaping their feelings. Debt and property fold into a power play that is connected in the family. Don’t fall for deals that are not clear. You are the levelheaded one in the room when you come from truth. Follow your heart and you won’t get lost. Freedom means everything to Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN is saying goodbye to the past fourteen years. It’s a longtime dealing with power, powerlessness, sex and money and feeling frustrated by others when they try to control you. The good luck planet Jupiter is with Uranus and trines you. There is a chance that you get free of some burden by being practical. Reset your mind to comb the past for a solution with what keeps bugging you. It seems what you work for disappears when the boundaries dissolve.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon makes for a healing crisis in the family or home. The same problem keeps coming back. Be specific about the reality of a project. Get down with what you see as the issue. Capricorn can be rigid in your work ethic yet you tie yourself up in knots when you are extravagant with caretaking. Take care of yourself first and don’t punish yourself so much.
AQUAIRUS has Pluto in your sign. The premonition of the next twenty years is in florid color. Pluto takes what it wants to free your life up, even if you don’t agree. A personal remaking of your identity is starting and you seem to have little control of where you’re going. It’s at times, scary, freaky and devastating. This beginning will lead to a rejuvenation of all that is deadened within you. You’ve lost yourself and will find yourself in a new life with a new self.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon makes for a beginning with decisions. You have the power to control your mind and be strong with radical change. Either you let go or what needs to go will be taken. The next two weeks and six months will be a fast forward with a revisit of a childhood wound that you re-experience and heal. Stronger, leaner and cleaner is the result. Take the time to learn through it.
PISCES has Saturn slowing you down energetically and professionally. You might not feel tip- top with self-esteem and energy hitting bottom. Friends have backed off or you’re backing off as the changes you’ve gone through the last fourteen and twenty -eight years kick in. Mars and Saturn pack a one two punch with a correction mid -month. So tired when anger eats away at your energy. You need a renewal to redirect the energy outward and not feel so jammed.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon makes for a healing crisis with some money or self- esteem issue. There is a surprise brewing that is passive and comes from behind. You face it with courage that has been cultivated the past few years. The new beginning is a way that is clear and direct and moves the center away from fear towards strength. This represents a monumental growth that changes the future.
