Or how to gather our energy to start and ignite something!

On April 8th, at 18:18 GMT, the Moon in Aries will sit between the Sun in Aries and the Earth thus creating a Total Solar Eclipse in the sign of the Ram.

Many people in the spiritual community talk about eclipse season as a big time for purging and letting go of the past. This is very true but it’s not the only task we have to tackle!

A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries is quite potent in terms of new beginnings and initiative. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac wheel, it represents freshness, pionneering spirit, momentum and ignition. During this Eclipse, the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Chiron and the North Node are in Aries: the focus is quite clear – we must regroup our energy to start something, using all the qualities of the Ram. This is a question of self (the Sun), emotions (the Moon), communication (Mercury), self–worth and values (Venus), personal path among the collective energy (North Node) and healing an old/recurring wound (Chiron). Of course, an eclipse means to abandon something and here the Universe is inviting us to let go of the fear or to transcend it. We always tend to feel like we’re not ready and even though preparation is key before any move, sometimes we have to jump, take that leap of faith instead of waiting and floating in between worlds.

Mars, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces and I see them as the gate keepers of the imaginary realm. They have been opening the doors of intuition and imagination and they are now signalling us that we are ready to step up and onwards. What we have been dreaming of can take shape now!

Pluto in Aquarius is in a sextile to Neptune in Pisces and Venus in Aries and this feels like a green light for a soft yet powerful transformation. The waters are flowing and help us go deep: we can face what we need to face and move on. The wonderful spark of life of Venus will guide us to the surface and support us in taking ownership of our true essence and identity.

Mercury is retrograding and although it’s often seem as problematic, during this Solar Eclipse it actually plays a big role in toning down the heavy energies and understanding what prevent us from communicating properly.

On a side yet significant note, the Eclipse is occuring at 18:18 and it can be reduced to 9. In numerology, 9 is the number of completion, the page that we turn so we can start something new with the wisdom we have acquired along our journey. Let us all embody the Fool energy, so aligned with this Aries Solar Eclipse and let us move forward with faith in ourselves and in our power to make good things happen!

The greater the will, the greater the flow of energy.
