Good morning, friends!
So, I have some bad news to share…last night my husband was driving our truck, our only vehicle, and it stalled out on the freeway. He had to leave it there and take an uber home. This morning when he went to see if it would start, it started right up, but someone had stolen the catalytic converter and damaged the transmission line, so fluid was spewing everywhere…

Okay, Let’s get into… the astrology
The Partial Solar eclipse happened this morning at 6:49 am ET.
I took a screenshot from the Live stream on YouTube from timeanddate.com and you can see that below.
So, you can see in the photograph the moon moving across the face of the Sun, and as you can see it is only covering part of the Sun’s sphere.
The next picture is a picture of the solar system during the time of the eclipse from an application called Solar System Scope (which I love). Here you can see the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun all in perfect alignment. Behind the Sun is Venus, just a little bit ahead of this perfect alignment and I am going to show you all this in the chart, next.
Here is the chart of this eclipse. You can see the moon and the Sun are perfectly aligned at 02°Scorpio 00’ and Venus is just a little bit ahead of the Sun at 02°Scorpio 39’.
Something else that is happening during this eclipse, besides Venus being so close and involved, is that Mercury is perfecting a quincunx to Neptune today at 12:29 pm ET—so this is going to bring in another dimension.
An eclipse is already about a new beginning since it is a New Moon, but it represents a major new beginning and one that will affect the next six months.
This eclipse is so close to the South Node in Scorpio at 13°Scorpio that it also has the feeling like we are letting go of something and releasing ourselves from something.
I am seeing this echoed in the Mercury quincunx Neptune aspect since a quincunx also represents the separation from something—it’s like two parties that want to get away from each other and make an effort to do so. This could be representing a person or a way of thinking that you want to separate from— making a change in your life—that takes you away from that situation.
We can also see Pluto, which is the co-ruler of this eclipse, since, in Modern astrology, Pluto rules Scorpio (traditionally, Scorpio is ruled by Mars), and Pluto is conjunct the IC (Imum Coeli) point at the bottom of the chart in the fourth house. What this means is that this eclipse is creating a change and a transformation in the root structures of the world at large. This eclipse will act as a catalyst, if you will, for the transformation, the ending, and the new beginning, of the base structures of our lives and that could be felt on a larger scale since Pluto is a generational, outer planet and tends to affect lots of people at once.
So, big day!
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
What is the guidance for today?
XI Strength
On this card from the Motherpeace tarot, we see a naked woman sitting on a green field, a tree and an eclipse are in the background! Around her are many wild animals, a snake, a scorpion, birds, a wolf, a lion, and a spider, building a web in a branch.
The Strength care represents calling upon all your ancestors and animal guides to help guide you in times of need. The woman on this card has tamed all these beasts, all these wild creatures, through her spiritual force. The Strength card represents strength, courage, compassion, persuasion, and influence. Using your inner strength and spirit to overcome any obstacle.
As the guidance for today, I feel that this card is a reminder that you have the inner stamina, patience, and persistence to overcome whatever issues are coming your way right now.
A great card for the eclipse energy of the day!
