ARIES NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2023๐โ๏ธ ACTIVATING THE POWER OF THE CRITICAL DEGREES
A rare second New Moon in intrepid Aries arrives at 12:12AM EDT this Thursday, April 20, and late night Wednesday, April 19, beginning at 9:24 PM EST the Solar Hybrid Eclipse begins. Just one month after the first one on March 21. Folks, this is how the Aries season ends powerfully!
Even more significant news this is the first solar eclipse since 2015 to pass across the realm of the Ramโ๏ธ is this new moon, which ushers in major change.
Consider it a turbocharged fresh start that could mean letting go of some aspects of your previous life. Also, it begins a new series of eclipses on the Aries-Libra axis, which will amplify a few of our new and full moons between now until March 29, 2025.
Soon after, Taurusโ๏ธโ season starts, instead of having a timid beginning. Mercury, the planet of communication, technology, and travel, makes a retrograde U-turn in Taurus on Friday, April 21, putting the entire world into a persistent state of obstinacy that lasts for the most of Taurus season.
In addition to the Sun-Pluto square (tension) that will occur right after the eclipse on the 20th and bring up issues of inner demons that are tenaciously ingrained. You have to be prepared to face the ways that old habits, coping mechanisms, and bullets are keeping you in a season of difficulty before you may find peace at this time.
Focusing on where you want to go while being ruthlessly honest about your present situation will help you get through this season. Don't hesitate to go in and face these difficulties. The steadiness and enjoyment on the other side make the required effort worthwhile on the other side, joy.
The rest of this blog will focus on how to use the power of this bonus Aries New Moon and to ground the intense eclipse energy as we close out Aries Season and begin our journey to the center of the heart over Eclipse and Retrograde Season 2023.
Mark these dates to access the Lunar Wisdom Formula for managing your emotions, your environment and your self-care during the start of Spring Eclipse Season being kicked off by the 2nd Ariesโ๏ธโ New Moon of the year at the Critical Degree. Use this cycle to become an observer of what things start and end with the Scorpioโ๏ธโ Flower๐ธ Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which helps us close out the last 18 month eclipse cycle while welcoming the new one.

Applying The Lunar Wisdom Formula
This time around with the second Aries New Moon of the Year we are going to take a chance to deepen our efforts from last month with the eclipse energy superpower. The Lunar Wisdom Formula for the Re-Inspiration New Moon is usually to take action โ so now is a good time to revisit any intentions you set last month and double down on them.
This helps avoid the issues of trying to start new things during an Eclipse and allows you to be open to see what natural new starts emerge on their own โ without effort. Getting the chance to experience the vibration of the Last Degree of Aries helps inform us about what we need to do from A to Z to get s*t down.
This orientation will help as the moon shifts signs mid-Eclipse into earthy Taurus which pushes us to build and create things in the physical world. This means that there will be both 1st and 2nd house activation during the upcoming lunation - which is a mix of Fire and Earth. That calls upon both Warrior and Builder archetypal energy which makes you a force to be reckoned with. Again we need to look to the body to see where things will play out with us and how the powerful energy will move through us.

Working With The New Moon Phase๐โ๐
This particular eclipse is a hybrid eclipse, which means that it transitioned from an annular eclipse to a total eclipse, creating a unique and potent energy shift.
The 29th degree of any zodiac sign represents a culmination or completion point, and in Aries, it signifies the end of a significant cycle and the beginning of a new one. This eclipse offers a profound opportunity for personal growth, transformation, and spiritual awakening.
With Aries as the first sign of the zodiac and is associated with new beginnings, leadership, and courage, this eclipse invites us to step into our power and embrace our inner warrior. We are encouraged to push past our fears and limitations.
The 29th degree is also known as the "anaretic degree," which is said to be a point of crisis, urgency, and potential breakthrough. The Aries New Moon hybrid solar eclipse is a potent portal for intense energy and will bring about a mix of endings to create a new beginning in whatever house is ruled by Aries in your chart.
For me that means my 11th house of communities, friends and of โgreat gains in businessโ will be experiences an energetic jolt! Remember I donโt recommend doing ritual work at this time but awareness is key to navigating this energy.
Overall, the 29 degree Aries New Moon hybrid solar eclipse is a pivotal moment for personal and collective transformation. It is an opportunity to shed old patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve us and step into our full potential.
This eclipse encourages us to take action, embrace our inner strength and courage, and step into leadership roles in our lives. Whether you feel the impact of this eclipse immediately or over time, trust that the universe is guiding you towards your highest good and supporting your growth and evolution.
Grounding Eclipse Energyโก๏ธโโก๏ธโ
Eclipses can be intense and transformative times, and it's essential to ground your energy to stay centered and balanced. Here are some tips on how to ground your energy during an eclipse:
Connect with nature - Spend time in nature, whether it's a walk in the park or a hike in the woods. Connect with the earth by feeling the grass under your feet or hugging a tree. Nature has a grounding effect on our energy and can help us feel more centered.
Practice grounding meditation - There are many grounding meditations available online, and finding one that resonates with you can be helpful. Focus on your breath and visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth, anchoring you to the ground.
Use grounding crystals - Certain crystals, such as black tourmaline or hematite, have grounding properties and can help balance your energy. Hold the crystal in your hand or place it on your body during meditation or throughout the day.
Move your body - Exercise or movement can help release excess energy and ground you in the present moment. Yoga, stretching, or even a dance party in your living room can be helpful.
Eat grounding foods - Foods such as root vegetables, nuts, and seeds have a grounding effect on the body. Incorporate these foods into your diet during an eclipse to help balance your energy.
Remember to listen to your body and give yourself permission to rest if needed. Grounding your energy during an eclipse is an act of self-care that can help you navigate these intense energies with more ease and grace!
