THE PISCES SOLAR ECLIPSE ON THE 29TH IS PUTTING A CYCLE TO BED THAT IS NO LONGER OF SERVICE

COUNTRIES MOST EFFECTED BY THIS ECLIPSE…

Solar Eclipses have a path they take that most often cross through countries (this is strongest when there is a total solar eclipse). Although Eclipses personally effect all of us, it's path passes through nations it will fundamentally shift the energy of. In the case of this coming Pisces Partial Solar Eclipse it will be visible and felt in Eastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, North-Western Europe (including Denmark) and America. In Medieval Astrology it was calculated that the the hours that a solar eclipse darkened the skies was equated to the months that it would have an effect. As such we can expect that what this Eclipse sets off will be felt by these countries (and globally) for the next 4 months. Even just looking at the countries sitting at the maximum point of this karmic energy, you can already have some hints as to what is coming.

THE CLOSING OF THE ECLIPSE PORTAL

The partial Solar Eclipse at 14'41 of Pisces represents the closing of eclipse season which started on the 13th-14th of this month. This has been a period of karmic readjustment, chaotic opportunity and time speeding up in such a way that energy can have come in and even swiftly out of your life. As this Eclipse peaks it doesn't mark an end to this, but rather the final burst of cosmic energy we need to process what is going on. In fact you can find that this Eclipse energy feels particularly intense until the next lunation (Virgo Full Moon) on the 12-13th of April. Added to that while the Moon is still moving through Pisces 24 hours after the Eclipse peaks you can find the energy is particularly delicate. So be really easy on your body and with yourself.

SOME GUIDELINES FOR ECLIPSES

Just as a reminder, the best way to use eclipses is to go within.

When an Eclipse Peaks (particularly a solar eclipse - which tends to be a lot more powerful and brings up the ignorance that blocks us knowing ourselves as soul) the energy is chaotic, time speeds up, and it's a period of karmic correction.

This is not a time to manifest, to plant seeds or to try and manipulate the energy. In fact you can think of it as a time of purification and so consider how you can support your nervous system, energy body and health to allow this energy to 'run' through you. Some guidelines I have found helpful are:

• Supporting the Physical: Being really consistent with sleep, eating correctly (foods with life force not overly processed) and getting in gentle exercise (essentially feeding the beast).

• Soothing the Psychological: Make sure you're considering a consistent meditation or mindfulness practice that will help keep the mind calm (this looks different for everyone). Really listen to your body, and if it needs to rest give this to it. It will tell you in no uncertain terms around an eclipse and that can manifest as physical exhaustion, headache, sore feet etc.

• Purifying the Energetic: Consider getting into nature and in particular into the ocean or if you're not close to the sea create a salt bath or shower to help purify the energy body. Added to that when the eclipse is peaking, stay indoors and don't watch it. Instead use it to meditate as there is the opportunity to go deeper than usual.

Now let's dive into the astrology of this Eclipse...

THIS IS AN ECLIPSE OF ENDINGS

Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and represents not just endings but the liminal transition into a new state of being. Like a portal between what has been and what is coming to pass. It's an energy that calls for us to expand beyond the physical and into realms of our consciousness we aren't always familiar with including the collective unconscious. Pisces is an energy that speaks in sounds, images and symbolism...not in words. So it requires you to be comfortable with the metaphors and uncanny experiences that manifest at this time - not taking them at face value but rather meditating on their deeper meaning.

The heart of Pisces is the deep desire we all hold to merge back into unity. As such, the role of this Solar Eclipse is to show where this is blocked or withheld by the mind's thinking (which can manifest in a thousand ways in the external world). The opportunity of this Eclipse is to come to meet the ignorance of the unconscious and see that this is the doorway to the divine (not its frustrating opposite).

ALIGNED WITH NEPTUNE, MERCURY RX, ARIADNE + PSYCHE

As this Eclipse peaks it is sitting in a sign where there is a convergence of planetary energies. In fact it feels like it is a messenger to a bigger part of the collective energy we are digesting around what we 'believe'.

Within Pisces, Solar Eclipse will be aligned with Neptune, Mercury Rx, Ariadne + Psyche, meaning it can feel like you are going back in time as you encounter conversations you thought were finished and cycles of energy you believed you had already worked through. 'Patience, young Grass Hopper' there is nothing wrong with re-visting this, and it doesn't mean you are a failure in anyway because it is repeating. Rather this is divine grace that is giving you the opportunity to squeeze anything that is left from this cycle for your own realisation.

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH

With Psyche and Ariadne, the Goddess Asteroids sitting with this Eclipse, it is calling you to learn the power of love. In fact Psyche has come to teach you about faith (an important aspect of love). To know that even when you have no proof that you should love something, to do so because it is your nature. This is all about doing something even when you have no proof it will work but because there is a deeper calling within you to go that way or do that thing.

Now Ariadne, the mistress of the Labyrinth, is the teacher that the only way out is through. That means facing what is front of you instead of running off or ignoring it. The cycle will keep repeating until it is understood. That's the job of Earth School (aka the Labyrinth).

IT'S TIME TO LET GO

This Solar Eclipse occurs in the Vedic Lunar Mansion Uttara Bhadra, which represents a time of letting go, resting and being open to releasing a part of yourself (aka your thinking) that does not serve you. This is a place where purification takes place, and you're beckoned to stand between the material and the soul - in the world of the mythic.

You can find that there is an inner struggle that takes place as you come to see the negative, constraining thinking that has been running your life (and is a result of karma). This isn't about fighting this, or wanting to 'kill' it but rather understanding how it has serves you as well as what it has been wanting from you? Remember that your thinking (these karmic obstacles) are like a little child, looking for love, comfort + understanding. We can only meet ourselves through love, for whatever we continue to reject within will persist. Be prepared to be humbled by this energy, and to find that it is putting to bed energy which has been working with you since late 2023.
