We’re officially in eclipse season — time moves either too fast or comes to a standstill. We become suddenly awakened to truth we couldn’t see before, and we feel compelled to take action. We eliminate clutter, create distance in unhealthy relationships, and know answers to questions we’ve had on our minds. Does it sound intense? That’s because it is…

Welcome to a turning-point month with doors opening to beautiful pathways and radical decision-making. Our healing doesn’t require a concentrated reflection on the past this month. Instead, we can focus on owning our creative power and directing our energy in ways that support our intentions.

The month starts with Mercury in stable Taurus, and the phrase chop wood, carry water, could be a theme at the start of the month. Our spiritual practices are grounded in the experience of our everyday lives. Cooking, planting in your garden, or spring cleaning could be ritual activities to connect you to the physical world. We'‘ll need good grounding on April 5 when the Libra Full Moon activates healer/mentor Chiron.

This lunation features a quincunx aspect to Uranus, indicating subtle irritations in our energy fields like an itch we can’t scratch. Chiron’s influence suggests we have to move through emotional waters, feeling things we didn’t process before. The good news? We come out on the other side of those waters purified and renewed. Think of the creative possibilities!

On April 10, Venus enters Gemini for word play and friendly banter. It’s an influence that graces your social life. Our relationships enjoy spaciousness and freedom for a few days.

On April 11, the Sun meets Jupiter for our luckiest day of the year. Our fire signs benefit from this one (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)! Dedicate yourself to joy from the first through 19th.

The Aries New Moon / Solar Eclipse happens at 29˚ Aries. 💥 The last degree of a cardinal sign is a critical degree, and it’s action-packed. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is:

A DUCK POND AND ITS BROOD.

KEYNOTE: The realization of natural boundaries.

This eclipse is in a square aspect with Pluto in Aquarius, and it can feel like the judge’s gavel banging down. It’s receiving news that leaves us in shock. We can’t believe it! Pluto wants to dig out the decay all the way to the root, like a dentist works on a cavity. (Ouch!) When Pluto’s involved, we often feel helpless over circumstances in our lives, but it’s an invitation to realize our power by becoming a vibrational match to what resonates more like peace, joy, and love.

The Sun enters Taurus on April 20, and we’re in the two weeks between eclipses. The Sun squares Pluto, making it a day for uncomfortable realizations that can lead to new beginnings. We feel an inner fire that motivates us and aids us in setting boundaries.

Mercury stations retrograde on April 21, launching us into 3-weeks of reflecting on themes of financial well-being, material possessions, deservedness, sensuality, and how we balance aspects of our lives. Mercury in Taurus teaches us to think about our homes and things. What can we beautify? What have we outgrown? The end of the month offers opportunities to let go of stuff and open space in our lives.
