Spring Eclipses 2023
Eclipses occur twice a year in pairs. A solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse that mark the next shift in our collective as well as in our own personal lives. These are significant markers of change that begin around the time of the first eclipse usually showing what the assignment is and the second eclipse which bring a deeper awareness of the situation to light. This energy is relevant for six months until the next pair of eclipses occur.
April 20, 2023 will be the first solar eclipse of the year and the beginning of a new cycle in the sign of Aries. This is a time of emergent change; pushing us to do the thing! And the "thing" will be uniquely different for each of us, but it is something that has been happening for many years, but NOW is the time to act. Aries is a fire sign and requires courage, action, risk, and a new adventure. This solar eclipse is connected with the planet Jupiter giving us even more impetus to rise up to the challenge and say yes, even in its uncertainty. Yes! is the name of the game right now. Trust yourself, trust the new calling within, trust the people that are coming into your life, trust the new opportunities, trust the offer. Ultimately, these are all invitations for you to experience life in a bolder and more authentic way.
The next eclipse will be May 5th in the sign of Scorpio. This will be a lunar eclipse of the full moon. Scorpio is a water sign, more deep, intuitive, and introspective- allowing us to assimilate on higher levels what is next. This phase will be our integration of the action we are being called to take. This integration will be on a much more personal and emotional level, taking us to places we have explored specifically in the past 2 years. It is a time of finalizing, perhaps a sense of completion of where we have been and what needs to be released so we are able to fully step into this next phase of experience with more insight and clarity. I would coin this Lunar Eclipse as an emotional graduation of some sort. There has been a lot of deep diving these past few years and now is a passage into a new emotional and spiritual maturity.
Where the eclipses fall in your personal birth chart will reveal much more clarity on which area of life is being most influenced. I am here if you need guidance, support, or inspiration to navigate through this next season of change.
Trust your inspiration, trust your enthusiasm and release what has been blocking your light. As I always say...follow the light.
