The April 2024 Solar Eclipse

As we wade through this cosmically charged season of rebirth and renewal, we are going to see what this powerful lineup has in store for us. While the Spring Equinox on March 20th marked a time of balance and new beginnings, the lunar eclipse on March 25th and the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th point us toward what these new beginnings may entail. To add a little spice to the cosmic energy, Mercury will be stationed retrograde from April 1st to March 25th. For spiritual folks seeking answers and awakening, these celestial events offer a unique opportunity to harness their power and align with their higher selves. Before we dive into the cards, it's important to go a little deeper into the planetary factors influencing the energy at hand.

The Spring Equinox, which took place on March 19th,  is a time when day and night are equal in length, symbolizing balance and harmony. It’s a potent time for setting intentions and planting seeds for the future. As we journey through this period of transition from winter to spring, we are encouraged to release what no longer serves us and make space for new growth. It urges us to set aside time to reflect on what we want to manifest in our lives in the months and seasons to come.

Following the Equinox, our full moon on March 25th experienced an eclipse. This brought a powerful surge of emotional energy that may have unearthed deep-seated feelings or hidden truths. It’s a perfect time to do some Shadow Work, Introspection, or Inner Work as eclipses urge us to dive deeply into our subconscious. Things we push down, ignore, are ashamed of, or have repressed are reflected in us, causing emotions to run high during this time. The lingering energy surges from the lunar eclipse will be experienced through the remainder of this moon's cycle. Trust that whatever comes up during this time is meant to help you heal, learn, and grow. You will come out so much stronger after it. Pay attention to the major themes popping up for you, for it will give hints about what you should expect around the Solar Eclipse.

On April 8th, we will experience a total solar eclipse, this time the moon completely blocks the sun’s light. This event signifies the ending of long cycles, the uncovering of truths, powerful transformations, and the heralding of new beginnings. Many cultures view this phenomenon as a connection to and between the Divine: the Sun (God) and the Moon (Goddess) unifying. It's an ideal time to step into your power and embrace transformation, unifying all parts of yourself… and we mean ALL parts of yourself. Yes, including the parts you may not like or are willing to face. This is a clear word of caution from the planets to be sure you are honest, mindful, and genuine with your actions and words moving forward, for what you keep in the darkness will be brought to light sooner rather than later. Set clear intentions for what you want to consciously create in your life moving forward, knowing that the universe supports you in realizing your dreams. Be open to receiving guidance from your intuition or higher self during this potent cosmic alignment. Great things are in store for us!

As I said, to add another layer of complexity to this cosmic cluster fuck, Mercury is reverse-cowgirling it again. While Mercury Retrograde (Rx) is often associated with miscommunications and technological glitches, it also offers opportunities for reflecting and reassessing our goals. Use this time to review your goals, revisit decisions, or reconnect with the people or interests that bring you joy. Embrace this period as a chance to slow down and realign with what truly matters to you. Take special note of all the lessons you learn along the way. And be kind to yourself, fam… This is hard ass work.

That said, I consulted my cards to clarify what the collective should expect during these crazy times ahead. Not only did they not disappoint, but my Guides, aka my Spiritual A Team grabbed the mic and had something to say.
