The Solar Eclipse, April 8, 2024

The solar eclipse in Aries puts our relationships in a spotlight. We become aware of the ways in which we don’t feel free or if we feel alone.

This eclipse features, a tight conjunction with the Sun, Moon and Chiron. This influence suggests we are in a healing process, individually and collectively.

Aries is a sign that presents us with polarities. If we see ourselves as separate, then we tend to focus on our differences instead of ways to harmonize those differences and get along. So, both our opportunity and our challenge is to learn how to better relate with our partners, friends, or anyone else close in our lives.

Everything is building to a head with this eclipse cycle, and things feel more intense, making our emotions and flow. On the one hand, we could feel more nostalgic with Mercury retrograde. On the other hand, mercury is conjunct Eris, activating our inner activists and warriors. You could feel called to stand up for a cause, or be more vocal about an issue in your life.

Another aspect of this eclipse story is the conjunction between Mars and Saturn. Mars as the depositor of Aries is influential in this lunation, but because of the conjunction with Saturn, we may not feel we have the freedom to act and move in the way we desire. That conjunction adds an element of tension, which should have a resolve in a few days after the conjunction perfects.

Eclipses catalyze change and usher us into more purposeful living, even if those changes aren’t anticipated or expected. Let Chiron’s influence inform you of how to find more meaning in your life and work. Let it mentor and teach you how to heal relationship rifts and find an integrated balance between self and other.
