Eclipses are noteworthy events in astrology and can give the impression that matters are moving quickly and being propelled forward. There may be an incident or chain of events that changes up your path. A Solar Eclipse is like an amped up New Moon and a time for new beginnings that can have lasting effects throughout the year. This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius is no different. Look to your personal chart to see where this is happening in your life.

Aquarius is a futuristic sign pointing to the latest trends. It is also the sign of the humanitarian, the visionary and the sign where groups of like minded come together for a common cause to affect change. 

At this time, the Sun, Moon, Mercury and the asteroid Goddess Juno are all closely connected in Aquarius.  

Mercury so closely linked to this Eclipse makes communication a key factor now. News, information and conversations are fast tracked; coming and going quickly with twists and turns. There could be bombshell revelations. Something you hear could take you by surprise or unsettle you; maybe you have an unexpected exchange or visitor or a situation involving your neighbors or siblings. Your mind might be future focused with innovative ideas and plans, thinking outside the box or you could change your mind about something or perhaps there’s a change of plans. You could have sudden thoughts and inspiration, insight or altered perceptions coming in like flashes of lightening. It may be difficult to keep track of it all.

 Juno being so prominent at this Eclipse puts an emphasis on relationships; more specifically, communication in relationships. Aquarius is the sign of the larger collective, community, brotherly (and sisterly) love and platonic relationships. This influence suggests the freedom to relate, share, connect, communicate and to be emotionally responsive to others in a meaningful way. Some could experience changes in their relationships or in ways of connecting; there could be new friends and associations or group relations. There may be a need to assert independence or leadership or a need for some elbow room in relationships. There could also be a need for relationship counseling or even separation in some cases. 

Uranus in Aries is the ruler of this Solar Eclipse influencing a collective awakening, a movement of new ways of thinking and sensing, for being visionary, forward thinking, progressive and trail blazing. 

Jupiter in Scorpio tangles with this Eclipse, Mercury and Juno, spurring you to go deeper, peel back layers, get to the core of a matter or the rot at the center, do a thorough exploration or investigation, enhance closeness, have faith and develop trust in your own knowing and inner guidance.  

Mars in Sagittarius is closely connected to asteroid Goddess, Vesta which gets a nudge from Neptune in Pisces implying the impetus is to unlock the truth and push beyond what’s been hidden, veiled or covered up. You may be striving to live your Truth and grow beyond masks and illusions and discover some closely guarded secrets. There may be a commitment to some belief, even a core belief that may activate a false front. It could be that you or someone you know may be trying to force opinions, drive a point, assert a belief, push propaganda or actively promote something that encounters doubt, disillusionment, confusion or skepticism because it seems too illusory, imagined and unattainable. It could be that trying to go too far too fast may cause you to lose your way or meander about. On another level this may suggest actively exploring subjects and lifestyles dealing with faith, spirituality, nature and mysteries. Outdoor activity in natural surroundings near water can be most helpful. 

Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL at this New Moon Solar Eclipse!
