it’s eclipse season, and this series of eclipses occur on march 25 (lunar) and april 8 (solar) in sidereal virgo (lunar) and pisces (solar), emphasizing this mutable axis of truth, information, discernment, healing, compassion, flexibility, flow, spirituality, forgiveness, evidence, trust, deception, the divine intelligence of the human body + spirit, and more.
with the solar eclipse in pisces on april 8 being the final pisces moon guided by jupiter in sidereal aries, this is a powerful time of reclaiming power, agency, and taking charge of our future. will it be one of healing? will it be one of destruction? what visions are we allowing to incubate in the darkness and be fully illuminated with these eclipses? what beliefs are we shedding? how are we developing and evolving our relationships with truth and knowledge? following the solar eclipse in pisces, the next pisces moon transit (may 4) will be guided by jupiter in sidereal taurus (may 1, 2024 - may 14, 2025), where we will be confronting many of the widely held belief systems that have made their way into physical reality, our relationship with the land, climate, and environment, and more for the year-ahead. jupiter in sidereal taurus will also be taking charge of the north node in pisces and will be a prominent player in the eclipses on september 18 and october 2.
for this eclipse season, i’m sharing inspirations for the 4 elements via the 12 sidereal rising signs. each inspiration includes an organ from the major arcana + a gemstone/crystal companion, emphasizing the physical intelligence of the body with support from the metaphysical & spiritual properties of the crystal kingdom.
