The New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse occurs in Aries on April 8th, 2024 at 2:20 pm EDT. This eclipse will appear over the United States, with complete visible totality stemming from Texas to Maine. Astrologically, this eclipse highlights wounds, pain points, or potential frustrations in our life with the presence of Chiron right at the exact degree of this New Moon. Chiron is represented by the myth of the wounded healer and tends to highlight the deeper injuries or pain points within ourselves that we hide from others and our own awareness.
This eclipse is also ruled by the fiery and go-getter Mars, who is currently in between a rock and a hard place sitting next to Saturn in Pisces. Typically eclipses like to rush in changes, new beginnings, and great endings, but we may feel a little more stagnant during this period of time with the slowdown from Mars. It’s important to be more intentional and clear with our actions at this time, instead of relying on our impulses, as we can become disappointed if events don’t progress how we initially planned.
Take a breath, notice your feelings and especially your body during this eclipse, and allow yourself to find some space between these intense moments. Opportunities will arise once the initial shockwave dissolves.
Let’s look at where this New Moon Eclipse astrology is happening for you specifically.
ARIES & ARIES RISING
Who you are, your identity, your sense of self, and inner power may all experience significant growth under this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. Throughout this zodiacal season, you’ve been exploring your external expression and how you wish to be perceived by others, society, and even yourself. Chiron here with this New Moon may remind you of previous wounds or pain points with this feeling of self-confidence, perhaps bringing memories of experiences when you had self-doubt and more fear of putting yourself out into the world. Sit with the discomfort as long as you’re able to. There's an alchemical effect with the eclipse, as many of these unique wounds are asking to be integrated and merged into this new, powerful, and more holistic expression of yourself. Reclaim the message of “I Am.”
An element of this deeper personal growth and self-expression is contributed to the inner world and personal healing you’re also undertaking within your mental health, meditative spaces, and time alone. This is brought on by Mars and Saturn coming together in Pisces, which can greatly increase the tensions felt internally. Stay open to all the pain points and subjective frustrations that may arise from this week. There's something here you are finally ending in your life, and while intense, it’s also healing.
TAURUS & TAURUS RISING
Your inner world, mental health, and spiritual spaces are all asking for a significant refresh and reboot with this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. This eclipse is occurring in an area of your life that has less to do with your external presentation and everything to do with how connected and stable you’re feeling on the inside. Eclipses can also bring periods of instability and uncertainty, and with Chiron present in the picture, there may be some inner fears, wounds, or pain points that arise. The purpose is not to get caught in the cycle of self-undoing and victimization, but to instead acknowledge the wounds and become more clear about what you’re now creating in your internal world. The opportunity is to take all the events that have brought you to this place and allow them to end, so you can now step into something larger than yourself.
Friends and your community spaces may be feeling a little more frustrated or lacking ease and flow as Mars and Saturn are coming together in Pisces. As you’re working through this internal and deeper period of self-exploration, your external relationships may not exactly understand what you’re going through. It’s okay to feel the need to pull away or retreat from those communal spaces if you need to right now. The most important focus on the moment is on yourself.
GEMINI & GEMINI RISING
Your community, friend groups, and the ways you relate to folks out in the world are all in for a refresh and new beginning with this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. This lunation speaks to all the ways you’re stepping into a brighter light and understanding of yourself, especially when it comes to relationships and partnerships of all kinds. Chiron's with this eclipse, so there’s potentially been a wound or pain point with living in your fullest self-expression, perhaps due to personal matters or deeper struggles that keep you more concerned about the future and your work. This eclipse will ask for the integration of those lessons and wounds, as the myth of Chiron shows us how we can take our injuries and be the vision or light for others. For you, this may signal a new beginning in how you show up for others within your community.
Of course, the lingering frustrations may continue for at least two days after this eclipse especially as Mars and Saturn come together in Pisces. Some points of wanting to move forward in life may be hitting a brick wall or a moment of increased slowness, especially around your work, career, and long-term plans. Move slowly through the wreckage. If something isn’t feeling easy to access at this moment, just give it time and lean on your relationships for support.
CANCER & CANCER RISING
Your work in the world, your career, and how you’re seen in the public eye are under a significant period of growth and acceleration with this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. You may be reaching an important expansion point in your work life, and around this eclipse, new opportunities may unfold for you to explore or initiate an important life event. A wound may also come alive during this period of time, potentially with old experiences of fear, pain points, and ways you’ve gotten burned previously. This New Moon eclipse will encourage the integration of those wounds, a period of recognizing and honoring that they existed, but also awareness of how they have helped you expand throughout life. Become clear on your exact desires and expectations for work and overarching life, and trust that you can create whatever you desire in this space.
Slowness, tensions, and frustrations may arise around your long-term plans, future direction, and overarching spiritual beliefs as Mars and Saturn come together in Pisces. You may be wanting to take great action in this area of your life but you're also experiencing equal limitations and roadblocks to those desires. This slowness wants to teach you something - pay close attention to your feelings at this time and check in with what truly feels best for yourself.
LEO & LEO RISING
Long-term plans, visions for the future, and your overarching beliefs that color how you move through life are in for a great awakening and rejuvenation with this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. This new beginning is marked by Chiron, which brings an awareness of your previous pain points, wounds, and fears around the direction your life is heading. Perhaps the future is not exactly how you envisioned it to be five years ago, but can you appreciate and accept how it is now? Can you see how all the trials and tribulations that shaped your beliefs finally reach this peak point, where you can start to create an entirely new beginning from this space? Use this lunation to become more clear about what it is you value in life, and what you desire to grow towards for the next five-ten years, knowing that you can trust yourself and the universe to unfold in the exact way you need it to.
Additional tensions and frustrations may come in the form of slow downs and red tape regarding your financial collaborations, loans, taxes, financing, and your partner’s money. If you want to work out financial arrangements with another, it may be incredibly slow and difficult at this moment. But it will pass, focus your energy on what you can directly control and contribute, and leave the rest for the magic to unfold.
VIRGO & VIRGO RISING
Hidden aspects of your life including collaborations, finances that involve other parties, and your own inner transformation are the focus for intentional new growth under this New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aries. There may be a wound in this space, perhaps there have been previous pain points when you’ve been asked to rely on someone else or trust that life would just be taken care of and it wasn’t, and you were left picking up the pieces. This eclipse may highlight a similar theme in your life, but you’ll be pushed to go forward no matter what. Letting go of control can be a difficult lesson, but one that has a lot to teach you about your own growth and transformation. Through this process, you take your power back from those wounds.
Potential frustrations may be stemming from your partnerships and one-on-one relationships during this lunation. They may be wanting to push forward certain actions or changes that affect both of you, but getting denied or hitting roadblocks. This can lead to increased tension within the relationship, or perhaps more disagreements around what path to take. Listen to the words that are unspoken between the two of you. Feelings may be heightened at this time, and it’s okay to slow down the efforts to make sure you both are on the same page.
LIBRA & LIBRA RISING
One-on-one relationships and close partnerships both romantic and otherwise are illuminated by this New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aries. There may be an expansion point coming to light around your partner and their individual efforts, or the way you approach relationships. Chiron with this New Moon may highlight a wound, fear, or pain point of growing within relationships or with your partners themselves, and the changes occurring in their life. It’s important to make sure clear methods of communication are implemented and in practice during this period of time, as with Mercury also retrograde, some ideas and or needs may be misunderstood and unclear. Move slowly and don’t make assumptions about the other, and perhaps listen when they present new ideas. It may be interesting to entertain.
An additional layer of tension or frustration may come present within your daily work life, work routines, and relationships with coworkers and/or pets as Mars and Saturn meet together in Pisces. Conflicts or disagreements may arise in your daily structures of life, or with those you work with. Things may start to feel like they are at a standstill. Slow down if the tensions get too high and try to avoid any intense reactions to the situation. A way forward will be clear, but perhaps not during this week. Check-in with your values to help you see what’s truly important.
SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING
Daily work life, work relationships, and the schedule that you work through as well as potential relationships with body health and pets are all illuminated by this New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aries. A wound or pain point in this area of your life may also come to light, perhaps something that has been bothering you subconsciously gets brought up to the forefront of your mind. This can be a time when you closely look at your work responsibilities and coworking relationships and evaluate what you’re ready to clear away or make a significant change within. The adjustment may not be immediate, but it’s important to start reflecting on your daily work life and what you truly wish to see grow in this space, especially over the next six months. You have to be inspired and love your space to make the work worth it. Create that inspiration for yourself.
Frustrations and slowdowns, or potential pain points may be happening in relation to your fun, creative life as well as children. Mars and Saturn are coming together in a conjunction, which can always be a moment of difficulty or increased challenges. Your desire to create or spend time with your fun side of self may feel more limited as of late. The roadblock is intentional, and perhaps shows you aspects of life that you’re trying to force. Let yourself move with what’s given and other avenues will open.
SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING
Creative projects and inspiration, how you have fun with life, and relationships with children if applicable are all the focus for intentional significant growth under this New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aries. As Chiron is sitting with this New Moon, part of your creation process involves becoming aware and clear of your wounds, pain points, and the ways you doubt your unlimited potential. You may be unable to avoid the fears that arise, but this eclipse shows you how to integrate those pain points instead of letting them be an ending point. From great moments of self-reflection, we may see how the most inspiring and beautiful creations arise in periods of uncertainty and doubt. Zoom out if it gets overwhelming, and think bigger picture of what inspires you the most to move and put out into the world. Because it will likely inspire others as well. We all desire this creative potential.
Tensions or other frustrations may draw your attention to your home life, family relationships, or your living environment. Mars and Saturn may remind you of increased responsibilities with family or on the physical homefront, which can be a distraction to the creative process. Allow yourself to not get too caught up in the family drama if it doesn’t directly involve your participation. Sometimes things can just work out on their own, especially when you don’t add additional fuel to the fire.
CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING
Your home life, relationships with family, and overall living environment as well as your private matters are all the focus of new intentional growth under this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. Eclipses here can always bring disruptions to your traditional home life, perhaps a literal move or adjustment to what's comfortable. A wound or pain point may also arise, perhaps reminding you of previous frustrations in this part of your life, or planting seeds of doubt and fear about these major adjustments to your foundations. It’s important to recognize that our root and core, and the way we rejuvenate, directly impacts our efforts in the world. If that's unstable, the rest will be as well. Utilize this eclipse to be more clear about your immediate priorities when it comes to feeling secure at home, and don’t be scared to act on them.
Additional limitations or tensions may arise around your daily communications and the overall routine you find yourself within. Mars and Saturn are close together in Pisces, which creates a push/pull dynamic around how you wish to communicate your needs and who’s willing to listen. You may also find your days becoming increasingly busy with obligations or responsibilities while you mostly rather focus on your home growth. Move slowly during this time, and make sure you repeat yourself to be heard when needed.
AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING
Your daily life, routines, and communications with others as well as close friends and siblings are all in for expansive growth during this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. Chiron with this eclipse may uncover a deep-seated pain point or frustration about how you structure your relationships with daily life, or even the way you communicate and share your knowledge with others. Perhaps there have been some pushback or moments where you tend to doubt your inner light a little more. It’s important to make sure you are still feeling seen and heard in your everyday tasks, but to also take in the other information that’s being presented to you. Everything ultimately happens for some reason, even if we don’t know what that is yet. But the most important thing is that you center yourself through life and how you live each day.
Money and finances may be a point of more frustration and tension, especially as Saturn and Mars are coming together in this sign. There’s a moment of wanting to take great action and create money for yourself, but at the same time, there may be additional financial stressors or roadblocks that make this feel more limited. Note that these experiences are temporary. If additional expenses arise, roll with them. Don’t give yourself unnecessary stress over what you can’t control. The tensions will ease after this week.
PISCES & PISCES RISING
Your money, finances, resources, and overall feeling of self-esteem with the ability to support yourself are all the focus of intentional growth under this New Moon in Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. With Chiron here, there may be an old wound you’re working through regarding money and your relationship with feeling wealthy and supported. This may become heightened during this eclipse, but in a way that allows you to integrate the lessons and experiences learned. This New Moon is asking you to regain control and direction over your life, and allow yourself to trust your intuition and inner guidance to help you manifest and/or heal your relationship with money. This is a beautiful moment to get clear on your true priorities and desires, and know you can also create the path to receive those blessings.
This eclipse is also a significant period of self-development and personal growth, especially as Saturn and Mars are meeting together in Pisces. This may be a period where your own identity and personal desires are called into question or face some challenges, roadblocks, and periods of uncertainty. Actions you wish to take may receive a wrench thrown in the plan, and life can feel unstable. Give yourself the necessary time and space for inner reflection and awareness around what truly matters in your life.
