Hi to you!
We have arrived at the second of three eclipse seasons for the Aries-Libra Eclipse Cycle. Seasons! Cycles! Oh my! I wouldn’t say that means we are half-way through — as eclipses have a timeline all their own — but it does mean that whatever story is unfolding for this current set of eclipse has already begun.
The thing about every new eclipse cycle, when it starts I have NO CLUE where it will take us. I have vague ideas based on the planets and signs involved. But eclipses are wiley and unpredictable — so why try?! I prefer to humble myself, get curious, and let understanding of the eclipses dawn on me as time passes.
We’re moving into the thick of it now. After speaking with clients, friends, and strangers (I’m that person) about ~the vibes~ in the Aries and Libra ruled areas of their charts all while witnessing my own eclipse story unfurl — I’m started to put some pieces together.
When it comes to working with eclipses — you kind of can’t. At least not in an active way. Getting insight on what’s being brought up for you is not so much about predicting the future or making the most of it. Instead gaining understanding about what is happening under the eclipses may help you to surrender to them. ‘Cause that’s the thing — Eclipses are bigger than us. Bigger than what we want or need or feel. Our freewill takes a backseat and destiny finds us. Often it feels like life is either shoving new stuff at us or yanking old stuff away. The eclipses can get rough with us. “Working” with these behemoths is to witness them and bend to their will. To sit with palms open, in wonder and curiosity.
What comes comes. What goes goes.
The eclipses, however rough and tumble they feel, are conspiring in your favor. If you are gripping tight to something that the universe is trying to pry from your fingers, let go. If the universe has dumped something on your doorstep, take it, it’s yours now. Trust that there are forces at play to support you on your path toward becoming.
Likely, it will not be easy or fun. But this is a collective experience. Commiserate with others. Find someone with your rising sign to offer you a head nod of understanding. Expect the unexpected and practice radical surrender as the eclipses do their work.
Eclipse Themes
Big head-butt energy shows up within our interpersonal relationships, as we flex our personal agency. A hunger is developing in the Aries ruled area of our lives while we see a clearing out of overgrown of Libra energy. The eclipses check our patterns of people pleasing, co-dependence, self-abandonment in the name of compromise. It is no longer the time to play nice, but instead to learn to play fair. Demanding more equity. It may require we lock horns with others to be seen and heard, thats the Aries way after all. Leveling out the Libra energy will require us to remember that fairness and justice include us as well. That being kind does not require us to surrender our stance, but can be a platform with which to assert ourselves. Saying good-bye to the heard mentality of what’s trending, into a fiery expression of self that is all your own. Right now, it’s all about how we can show up to the word with a stronger sense of self, which will in-turn create stronger, more honest, relationships.

Aries & Libra
This eclipse cycle is all about you! All about stepping into and honoring your agency, despite doubts or fears of how it will be perceived. As you navigate all things YOU, new relationship dynamics enter the chat. Studies have linked the quality of your relationships to the quality of your life. And in order the strike the right balance between Me & We, things may have to get shaken tf up. Complacency goes out the window. Patterns of playing too nice that YOU get lost in the sauce are up for review. Under this eclipse you are being taught how to remain whole in the face of others. How to be kind, but to leave the walking on eggshell type of relationships in the past. It may look like your villain era to some, but those who truly see you will recognize your healing era in full swing.
Taurus & Scorpio
Get out your sword, you’re slaying demons! The eclipses are acting like a lighthouse far in the recesses of your subconscious. Bringing light and awareness to the things that go bump in the night. The fears and phobias that have an invisible grip on the hull of your ship as you navigate the waters of self-defeat. Meet your worst enemy, You! This may leave you feeling adrift. Without grounding, sometimes without a compass. You are going where other’s fear to tread and you must go at it alone. As you do, letting the habits and routines that support your self-sabotage fall into the sea. You wellness — mind, body, soul — come into focus. Under the eclipses, you are learning to take better care of yourself on a daily basis, rather than feeding the fears that lead you astray.
Gemini & Sagittarius
There’s a fine line between belonging and fitting in. These eclipses are calling you to ignite your inner flame through play, pleasure, hobbies, interests that remind you of your innate talents. Then figure out who’s going to appreciate all that you have to give. Conforming and playing it small may have been your approach in the past, but standing out is the name of the game now. Releasing preoccupations with how you are perceived and what that means about you. You don’t have to be universally liked to be valuable. Let your light burn bright and the eclipses will bring the people who can stand the heat. The challenge to put yourself out there is here. Find your audience and give ‘em what you got.
Cancer & Capricorn
A light is being shown on where you have been and where you are going. The eclipses are pushing you out of your shell and thrusting you toward some big decisions about your public life, career, pursuit for satisfaction. This may leave you feeling exposed or unprepared to be seen under the spotlight. You may be doubting if you truly deserve the opportunities that you are aspiring toward. Leaving the quiet comfort of your private life not so quiet and comfy anymore as you wrestle with aspects of your past. You may be paying the consequences for giving too much of yourself to the expectations your family had for you. This is a time for looking back in order to move forward — As legend Lauryn Hill taught us, how you gonna win when you ain’t right within?
Leo & Aquarius
If seeing is believing, then you are looking at the world with new eyes. New opinions are forming. New views coming into focus. You aren’t seeing things the way you have before. As your perception changes so does your reality. While you navigate your own Brave New World it may leave you adrift around the things you’ve counted as true. Long held beliefs are under examination. There may be question marks (??) where there has previously been exclamation points (!!). This is where you learn that the gap between the student and the teacher is not as wide as you may have thought. Like they say, the wisest people know that they know nothing.
Virgo & Pisces
Sharing is caring but sometimes it not. These eclipses are helping you even the score of give and take by clarifying your values and the ways that you are, or are not, honor those values. Because it might feel admirable to extend a helping hand, but then all of a sudden your psychic space is cluttered with other people baggage. Nothing comes for free and the ways that you are offering up your services or indebting yourself to others comes up for review. Your resources — time, energy, attention, compassion, enthusiasm — are all precious resources. Now you are learning to treat them as such by transforming the way you give of yourself.
May the eclipses do their work
I see you, I love you
