Have you been feeling the comic shifts?
This upcoming new moon solar eclipse is a very powerful astrological event. It is happening on March 29th and it is our second eclipse this year, gracing us in the middle of both Venus retrograde (which started in Aries and moved to Pisces), and a Mercury retrograde in the same sign. Eclipses in general are related heavily to fate, fated encounters and destiny. If you think of the energy of new moons and full moons generally – new moons being new beginnings and full moons being endings – eclipses carry the same energy but on steroids.
Amongst all the celestial chaos, this solar eclipse is a powerful new beginning and as with everything astrological, it is very much a mixed bag. On an individual level, this eclipse will be really helpful in spurring us into action. Aries energy is all about trailblazing, initiating and taking charge of our own path. Aries season, for those who are into astrology/spirituality, is widely known as the beginning of the new year, it carries with it the energy of fresh starts and new beginnings. What’s amazing about this eclipse, is that it symbolises a powerful new beginning, one where we feel empowered to pursue our goals and aspirations with confidence and passion. Whatever goals you have set for yourself this year, whatever you are trying to call into your life over the next 6 months, this is a great time to plant the seeds and sing to them with devotion.
On the other hand, if we look at this from a global perspective, Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of war and conflict. We could see a new beginning and new developments in terms of conflict, war and the empowerment of either domestic or foreign adversaries. Aries also rules over leadership which means that this eclipse could stir up some activity when it comes to global leadership (as if there hasn’t been enough activity already!). The array of cosmic activity in both Pisces and Aries indicates the wrapping up of cycles, the ending of patterns and the beginning of a brand new adventure, both individually and globally.
