Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse - "You Are A Leading Light"

Saturday’s Solar Eclipse is an extra-powerful New Moon, planting seeds for a new life direction that will develop over the next six months and even 19 years. This will be the third and final Aries Solar Eclipse in a series that started on April 20, 2023, followed by the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024.

Aries is the I AM, our core sense of identity which determines pretty much every other aspect of our lives. How we conceive of the self, the story we tell about who we are, provides the foundation for how we live our lives.

This third and final Aries Eclipse asks: Who have you been, what identities have you shed, and what is the NEW expression of self you’re now ready to step into? What else needs to be released so that more of your true self can emerge? Where are you stifling or suppressing your creative energy and how can you recharge your vitality?

The Sun is exalted - strongest - in Aries, and this Eclipse is a call to shine the light of your true self more brightly than ever before. To own your creative power and magnificence in service to creating a more beautiful future.

Just a day after the Eclipse, slow-moving Neptune will enter Aries for the first time in our lives. Neptune, planet of spirituality, dreams, ideals and imagination, has been in Pisces since 2011-2012. You might reflect on your spiritual journey since then - how has your connection with Source grown and evolved? What dreams have you achieved and what have you released or surrendered?

Neptune’s shift into a new sign marks the start of a new era, a new life chapter, a new expression of spirituality and a new dream. Neptune in Aries is a more active, yang, dynamic expression - the rise of the Spiritual Warrior. This shift could feel disorienting and destabilizing at first, as you adjust to the new frequencies.

When slow-moving planets move into Aries, there tend to be dramatic world events. Neptune’s last entry into Aries, in 1861, coincided with the start of the US Civil War. Neptune’s shift PLUS an Eclipse - also a common catalyst for world events - suggests that the collective story is about to get very interesting, possibly explosive.

Mercury - the media, news, information - in conjunction with Neptune at the Eclipse, indicates a strong potential for deception and illusion. Retrograde Mercury cautions that all the information isn’t in yet, and we might not be seeing clearly.

Whatever unfolds in the collective story, this Aries Eclipse highlights the power of the individual - a power that’s amplified when we’re connected to the bigger I AM, when we expand beyond “little me” and know ourselves as unique expressions of Source. As the old systems collapse, as a new world is being born, we’re each being called to strengthen our light and our courage, and become the leaders we want to see in the world.

For more insight into what this new moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 9° Aries.

The areas of life signified by that house are where there’s powerful energy for a rebirth, and where you’re invited to:

identify and release old, outgrown stories about who you are and what you’re capable of - and dream into a more expansive expression of self;
identify and release what no longer holds energy for you - and feel into where your vitality and passion are calling you next;
re-spark your courage and re-energize your Spiritual Warrior self;
ask: “How else could you not hold yourself back?” in these areas of life.
