Total Solar Eclipse in Aries Horoscopes For All 12 Signs!
Special Report for the Total Solar Eclipse in Aries, April 8, 2024, Part Two
Good afternoon, friends!
Well, today is the big day, the Total Solar Eclipse! Live streaming here!
I happen to love eclipses, so I’m excited.
For today’s daily forecast, we are going to go over the horoscope for each sign for the eclipse.
The transits today break down like this:
4:53 am ET—Venus perfected a semisquare to Jupiter in Taurus. This is like writing Santa a letter asking for your favorite toy because you are Venus in Aries and you know what you want and you deserve that toy and then you have to wait until Christmas morning to see if Santa grants your request, but it’s not happening today! You have to wait and be patient. Totally easy, right?
8:18 am ET—the Moon conjoined the North Node in Aries (this just happened to be the very moment I pulled all the tarot cards for today’s reading!). Now both the Sun and the Moon have crossed over the North Node; the two actors playing the lead roles in today’s play have stepped onto the stage and are readying themselves for the start of the show!
12:38 am ET—the show begins!
2:20 pm ET—Total Solar Eclipse Totality! The Moon has joined the Sun and they are beginning their new monthly cycle together. The plotline and our emotions are one; the actors have embraced on stage! Maybe, just maybe you can see Venus and Jupiter to the right and left of the two stars of the show—like actors waiting in the wings ready to come on stage when it’s their turn.
2:21 pm ET—the Moon conjoins Chiron—the Moon actress opens an arm to Chiron and brings him into the dance!
2:28 pm ET—The Sun conjoins Chiron—Now the Sun takes an arm and the three are dancing together! It’s a splendid show!
4:52 pm ET—the show is over; the Moon exits the stage, leaving the Sun all by himself to entertain the audience. We no longer can see anyone else waiting in the wings for the Sun shines so brightly, dimming all other planets.
10:38 pm ET—The Moon in Aries conjoins Mercury in Aries retrograde…he was on his way to the show, but he didn’t make it; so the Moon meets him after and tells him all about the splendid dance with Chiron that the Sun and her had and how glorious it all was! Mercury is happy for her, but he has messages to bring to Chiron and the Sun and he’s on a mission to deliver them, so he bids the Moon farewell and continues on his journey back to the theatre.
Before the Moon can go on her vacation in the land of Taurus on Tuesday, she has two more planets she has to “talk” to briefly…Mars and Saturn, the author of the play, and his elderly, stern agent. They aren’t always the most supportive and friendly people in the world, so the Moon isn’t totally looking forward to it, but maybe she’ll get away with texting them the results of the show. Those transits won’t occur until tomorrow morning, though, so for today, she’s happy! The eclipse is over and she is headed to her favorite vacation spot in the world!
Alright, so there you have it—the transits of the day!
Total Solar Eclipse in Aries Summary
So we have a big show being fired up big time in the Aries house of our charts, indicating a new beginning, a new direction, or a new initiative taking place. This new beginning is fueled by a Mars in Pisces that is behind the scenes and not even at the show today but represents our desires and motivations and he is about to meet up with Saturn, indicating that he may be weakened, stopped, or stifled.
Waiting in the wings we have Venus in Aries, who may be feeling a bit arrogant and self-focused right now, but she does have a part to play, supporting the South Node. And we have Jupiter with his upcoming conjunction to Uranus, promising fortune and abundance, but at what cost?
What does the dance between the sun, Moon, and Chiron herald? Are we feeling as if we need healing? Are we wounded? Is there a sacrifice that is to be made? Is Saturn collecting a debt from Mars?
And what about Mercury retrograde…what are we going back on? Going back to? What are we changing our minds about?
Lots of questions with this eclipse!
Okay, so let’s get personal…
Horoscopes for the Total Solar Eclipse in Aries!
Where this eclipse is happening in your chart will give you clues as to which areas of life are going through this change. The following horoscopes will make the most sense if you read your rising sign.
After each horoscope, I am going to pull a card from the tarot and ask, “What is the guidance for this eclipse?” and give a brief interpretation of the card.
Aries
Wow, Aries, this eclipse is happening in your first house of self, health, immediate environment, and how others see you. This could herald a powerful new beginning or change to who you are at your core and how you present yourself physically. You may be rethinking the way you dress or the way you do your hair; maybe you are finally taking action on a physical ailment that was bothering you, or something to do with a pet is taking center stage right now that requires healing.
Behind the scenes, you may be feeling limited, restrained, or like you can’t get anywhere fast enough to make a difference and the truth is that things take time. Something exciting is brewing in your second house of money, possessions, and skills. There could be a new belief or foreign way of doing things that sends you in a whole new direction!
The tool card for you, Aries, is: VII of Cups-Reversed
This card is about dreaming about fantastical things that usually are not possible or practical, but fun to think about nonetheless, like daydreaming about what you would do if you won the lottery, right!? In the reversed position it means that maybe you are feeling as if you can’t even dream anymore—even your subconscious has restrictions! In fact, sleep and dreaming may be hard to come by right now.
I feel that this card really ties into the ruler of your sign, Mars, conjoining Saturn in your twelfth house this week and that you may be feeling very limited in what you can do and this is really depressive.
Mars will ingress into your first house on April 30, 2024, and you may finally feel more like yourself again, full of energy and ready to do things! Until then, Aries, it may be a good idea to get serious; focus on the present moment and the things in your life that you can control and not worry about dreaming up fantastical plans for all the what-ifs of the future…your hands are tied right now, but they won’t be forever! Jupiter and Uranus have some surprises in store for you that will probably shift things in a major way! So, have faith that everything will all work out okay!
Taurus
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your twelfth house of hidden things, self-undoing, confinement, solitude, and animals larger than a goat. Whatever new beginning this supercharged New Moon is representing is mostly hidden from you right now, like a seed gestating deep in the ground; we can’t see what type of plant it is until the leaves peak up through the earth and that won’t happen until this big pile-up of planets make their way into your first house of self and identity. Can you feel the energy vibrating in your subconscious?
This eclipse is fueled by Mars in your eleventh house of friends meeting up with Saturn, so that is like wanting to go out with friends and have a surreal, dreamy time, but not getting permission from Dad or getting caught after curfew by the cops. Whatever your big plans are Taurus, they may be getting slapped with fines, rules, or restrictions, or perhaps religious dogma, since Saturn does rule your ninth house of beliefs.
The more obvious thing for you Taurus is the huge elephant sitting in your first house, Jupiter, about to conjoin Uranus and send some earth-shaking shock waves through your body or in your immediate environment. Because Venus rules over your sign and Jupiter is in Taurus and thus loves Venus right now, I’d say these surprising events to come will probably be supportive and bring good fortune, especially from other people.
The tool card for you, Taurus, is: VIII of Cups
This card is about taking space from something that you’ve put a lot of energy into. Sometimes this means walking away completely; other times this means taking a break. You have carried a lot of weight around about something and now you need a breather. I feel this card really ties into the Mercury retrograde in Aries in your twelfth house—you have been thinking a lot about something that you desired, wanted, or felt drawn toward initiating and now you are rethinking things, going back over the details, and deciding what you want to keep and what you are ready to sacrifice to the waste bin. This could be a tangible project or it could be subconscious emotional baggage that you have been carrying around for a long time and now you are ready to let a bunch of it go—you don’t want it to define you anymore.
All I can say, Taurus, is it may be time to do the spiritual work that is necessary to transform your beliefs. Beliefs about yourself or beliefs about the world and your place in it. It’s time to get serious and refine your self-image, for there are big changes on the horizon coming in quickly! By next month you may feel more yourself as Venus ingresses into your first house, bringing love, warmth, and beauty to you in all the ways.
Gemini
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your eleventh house of friends, allies, hopes, and wishes. This represents a big bang occurring that could mean new friendships, new social groups, or new advancements at work that bring in an increase of activity to your social calendar, or financial support. This could be really exciting, Gemini! I wouldn’t expect any of this to be immediate though because Mars, the ruler of this eclipse, is in watery Pisces about to meet up with Saturn in your tenth house of career, so this means getting serious and putting in long hours, hard work, and sacrificing yourself a bit before any rewards are reaped. There may be bills, fines, or red tape that you have to wade through in order to get what you want accomplished or realized. It’s all doable if you believe it to be, so it’s not worth fretting over and getting all stressed out! Make lists. Lists are your friend, Gemini, they keep you on track and less prone to your wandering mind. Write it down and mark it off when you have done it.
Jupiter and Uranus in your twelfth house may represent something shocking that creates an earthquake in your life. Jupiter usually brings good fortune, abundance, and redemptive qualities, so I do feel like whatever wild event happens it will be a good thing in the end, but may be temporarily jarring.
The tool card for you, Gemini, is: II—The High Priestess
This card is about trusting your intuition. It’s time to go with the flow, observe the cyclical nature of your life, and go with the stream, rather than try to walk against the current. Right now you may have a lot of ideas about things you’d love to do if you had all the resources that you would need to make them happen, but Mars and Saturn in your tenth house of career are telling you that it is time to slow down and be more serious and intentional right now, exploring one thing at a time instead of ten! Trust your intuition and explore the thing you are most drawn to but stay in the moment and don’t let your mind wander. Be intentional. Stay focused. With Mercury retrograde in your eleventh house you may be thinking about the groups you are a part of and may be going back to people and things you’ve been away from for a while and that’s fine as long as it feels right. Don’t go back to anything that feels even a little off! And don’t make sacrifices you aren’t actually willing to give. With Venus in Aries in this house as well and the dispositor of the South Node in your fifth house of romance, children, and recreation, there could be a bit of a me-first attitude wanting to do whatever you want or date whomever you want, but be careful of illusion and doing things that could bite you in the rear later.
I have a Gemini rising and I had a dream the other night that I was giving away one of my favorite pairs of jeans—I was emptying the pockets of my belongings to give these jeans away to someone at a yard sale! I literally woke myself up from sleep to make sure I wasn’t making this mistake in real life! I feel this dream is symbolic for us right now, Geminis.
What are the “jeans” in your life that you may be giving away that you really want to keep? Generosity is one thing, but sacrificing something that you love is another. Follow your heart, listen to your gut, and make choices you’ll be able to live with forever. Some things we can’t get back once they’re gone.
Cancer
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your tenth house of career and public recognition. Have you changed jobs yet? This is a supercharged new beginning for your career, what you do every day, or maybe even for your mother since traditionally the tenth house also represented the mother, but in modern times this could be either parent. There is a sacrifice to be made though, so make sure if you are jumping from captaining one ship to leading the crew on another that you are willing to make the payment. Mars in Pisces is fueling this eclipse and is in your ninth house of beliefs meeting up with Saturn this week, so your beliefs and can-do attitude may be being tested right now and furthermore more, Mercury in Aries is retrograde in your tenth house as well, so you are going back over your options, thinking about your desires, your wants, your needs, and this is all stemming from the belief that you can have and deserve more and I agree with you Cancer! If you are in a situation where things are not as good as they could be and there is a simple solution go for it, but be smart and do your due diligence.
With Jupiter and Uransu about to conjoin in your eleventh house of friends and allies, there could be something shocking and exciting coming in the future that could honestly cause some stress. It may turn out well in the long run though.
Venus in Aries is the ruler of the South Node in your fourth house of family, roots, and landed property so you may be feeling justified about the changes that you want to implement that you feel are necessary for your foundation but be careful of potholes and things that may drain your resources faster than you can refill them. Do the numbers. Be wise in your decisions. It’s not time to be the fool and leap without looking! Right now it is time to plan where you step.
The tool card for you, Cancer, is: V of Swords
This card is all about winning by defeating someone or something else. You have defended yourself valiantly and won the battle. With all of this energy in your tenth house of career, I feel this card is about being in competition with others, especially in terms of your job or career, and the good news is that it looks like you will be the victor! You will land the new job or career that you want; others won’t be so lucky.
Leo
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your ninth house of higher education, belief systems, and foreign travel. This is a lot of energy to have in your ninth house heralding in a new belief, educational pursuit, or plan to travel the world! This new belief may challenge your relationships and cause a transformation in the type of support you receive. If it is a trip or educational endeavor that you begin, it could require a significant financial investment and that means paperwork and possible legal agreements to be drawn up. Whatever you are planning, Jupiter and Uranus have surprises in store for you that will change what you are publically known for or do for your career, so get ready for the big reveal in a couple of weeks!
The tool card for you, Leo, is: III of Pentacles
This card is about collaborative work, and working with others to create your dreams. It could be about work that you are producing and getting financial support from investors or silent partners, or it could be about something you are creating with others where you are all putting in equal amounts of effort. Whatever the project, I feel this ties in with Mars and Saturn meeting in your eighth house of shared resources and the esteem of others—you are building something and you may need the resources and support from other people, your spouse, your clients, or your customers. The product you make is important and needs to show that it has value in order to continue to receive the funding you need. So, do your best Leo to create your best work! Your efforts will pay off!
Virgo
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your eighth house of death, debt, other people’s money, shared resources, investments, and soul bonds. This is a lot of energy in your eighth house and could mean new or old investments taking off, the birth of a baby, or a new commitment being formed. Since Mercury is retrograding through this house right now you may have to go back over the fine print of these investments or the agreements that you made with other people. There could be some conflict with important relationships or the feeling that you have a responsibility to share with others. It could be a new relationship hits a more serious level and now a commitment is made and it looks like a legal one. Something shocking and expansive may happen that expands your horizons, your beliefs, or your travel plans.
These transits look like a couple that ties the knot and then goes on a honeymoon! Something you are bound to requires a deeper, more serious commitment and once all the paperwork is filled out and filed, a trip to a foreign destination is in order!
On another note, this could be about having to fulfill a responsibility to someone else and feeling drained or weakened by the situation. There may be a lot of energy around changing your commitments and wanting something new, exciting, and fresh, like changing banks, but in order to open a new account, we must first close out the old account.
The tool card for you, Virgo, is: VIII of Swords—Reversed
This card in the upright position is about feeling mentally trapped by a situation, but in the reverse, it could mean that this entrapment is finally over! You are released of your bonds, responsibilities, and commitments, and you no longer have to play out this scenario anymore. Whatever area of your life you have been feeling stuck and unable to remove yourself from, this is about to be a thing of the past. Freedom is close and may come along with the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, heralding new horizons!
With all the energy in your eighth house, I feel this may have to do with a soul bond going through an end of some sort, and with this end, your bonds are loosed.
Libra
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your seventh house of relationships, be that romantic or business oriented, and legal matters. This is a huge pile-up of energy in your relationship house and represents a major turning point, new beginning, or fresh start in relationships. You have been rethinking a commitment or a business partnership and going back over all the details of the situation and this eclipse may seal the deal, launching your plans forward with gusto! There could be sacrifices that are made with this transition or there could be wounds that are healed with all the new growth. You may be tired of feeling like you are the one always sacrificing things and putting in all the effort and work and you may ask for a bigger commitment from others for their support. There is an unexpected change coming that may shake things up when Jupiter and Uranus conjoin in your eighth house of shared resources, soul bonds, and investments.
The tool card for you, Libra, is: V of Cups—Reversed
This card is about grieving over something that you’ve lost and feeling regret. In the reversed position it means that you are done feeling sorry for yourself and beating yourself up about what you lost. Instead, it’s time to make some changes and cross the bridge to somewhere new. I feel this card ties in with the eclipse energy in your seventh house marking a new growth, a fresh new start, or a new beginning with someone that you love. Let go of the past and take the first steps into the future.
Scorpio
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your sixth house of service to others, stress, health issues, and animals smaller than goats, usually pets. This is a lot of energy in your sixth house Scorpio and the supercharged new beginning could come with some sacrifices, vulnerabilities, or wounds that need healing. You have been wanting to have fun, be more social, and experience the joys of life, but Mars meeting up with Saturn in your fifth house of pleasure and recreation means that you are experiencing limitations and these limitations may be because of your responsibilities to your work, your health, your family, or your furry friends. Things are about to change, Scorpio, as this eclipse is a turning point for you. Something that deep down is causing you stress is about to run its course and come to an end, or a stop.
The upcoming Jupiter Uranus conjunction in your seventh house means something shocking and revolutionary will be happening in your relationships, so get ready for a change! I know it’s hard to go through major changes, Scorpio, but you’re always wanting things to happen in extreme ways so that you know you’re alive…well, here ya go!
The tool card for you, Scorpio, is: IX of Pentacles—Reversed
This card is about being self-sufficient and able to care for yourself and right now you are feeling the opposite of that. For whatever reason you are feeling sorry for yourself that you can’t do this or that or whatever and you may be blaming others or the situation or something outside of yourself for your lack of motivation. This eclipse may kick you in the pants and send you on an adventure that greatly remedies this situation, but it will be through the school of hard knocks. On the other hand, this card may symbolize that you are spending your hard-earned money on frivolous things that don’t matter in the long term, so you may need to check your spending and reel it in. Saturn in your fifth house of pleasure will make sure you do by providing boundaries and limitations in the form of stop signs, so watch for those and obey the rules.
Sagittarius
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your fifth house of creativity, pregnancy, children, and pleasures, such as recreation and romance. You may be starting something new and exciting during this eclipse, such as a romantic relationship or a new creative endeavor. Mars in Pisces in your fourth house of home and family wants to feel spiritually connected to everything that you sink your roots into, but in Pisces, this is like rooting a plant in a water glass, it's looking for the soil, the real earth to sink itself into and hang on, but it’s just water in a glass, so rooting oneself is an illusion, Sag. Mars is meeting up with Saturn this week indicating that something is about to end or meet the final destination and then a new chapter will begin, one that is spiritually serious and committed to a higher purpose. Well, we Saggies love purpose, so prepare to have your new purpose supercharged with a pioneering spirit for this eclipse in Aries in your fifth house of creativity is like jumping on a train, destination unknown, just for the adventure of it all! Oh, how we love adventure! This new adventure may heal old wounds and the redemptive quality of Jupiter conjoining Uranus in your sixth house of stress, selfless acts of service, and health issues, could mean that by going on this new adventure for the sheer pleasure of it, health and well-being are restored. It’s time to dream, to travel, and to live life to its fullest! Hop on the boat, the train, and the airplane, and have some fun!
The tool card for you, Sagittarius, is: III of Rods
Progress, expansion, foresight, overseas opportunities! This card is about going somewhere and watching all your hard work pay off. You have expanded in some way or you are able to see the expansion coming up. Use your powers of foresight to help you navigate the road ahead and stay the course. Things are happening, so it’s not time to take a break, but rather monitor and maintain your momentum. Others may be excited to go with you and be part of your team of adventurers! Do make sure that they are friends you can trust, for the South Node is in your eleventh house of friends which may speak to settling for those who are closest to you in proximity rather than beliefs, don’t settle. Take those along with you on the adventure that shares your love of freedom, spontaneity, and optimism! You don’t need no Debbie Downers in your entourage.
Capricorn
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your fourth house of home, family, roots, and parents, traditionally the father. This eclipse may be a big deal in that it is heralding new roots, new foundations, and new starts. The fourth house is also the house of endings because it is akin to the end of winter or the winter solstice when the darkest part of the year ends and the light begins to return. It is the area of our charts where the new seeds of the dawn are planted, the midnight hour, and things start to gestate and prepare for the birth of the new day. So, it is a powerful place to have a total Solar Eclipse! The new beginnings represented by this eclipse could come with some sacrifices or wounds that need healing in order to move forward and this could also be about closing the door on something, ending a chapter of your life, or severing a familial bond. With Mars in Pisces meeting up with Saturn in your third house of siblings, community, and your communication this could mean that the way in which you communicate your needs may have to change. Jupiter will be meeting up with Uranus in your fifth house of pregnancy, children, and recreational activities which could mean the unexpected pregnancy of a child, or a sudden burst of creative energy that sends you on a new and exciting adventure! Moving could also be in order over the next six months.
The tool card for you, Capricorn, is: X of Pentacles—Reversed
This card is about the happy ending, having all the material things that people typically want in life, the marriage, the career, the house, the kids, etc…but in the reversed position this is about letting go of those sentiments either in reality by going through the legal process of severing a commitment to a spouse, a job, or what not, or by letting go of an idea or a dream of those things. Something that you thought you wanted, you no longer want. Something new is on the horizon that may bring you more long-lasting fulfillment.
Aquarius
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries be happening in your third house of your environment, elementary education, daily routine, siblings, and communication. This eclipse means a major new beginning in your message and how you communicate that message. You may have to let go of triggers or wounds that you have around things in order to allow growth and healing to commence. Your siblings may play an integral part in how you move forward. You could be making changes to how you travel around and perhaps change cars. You might be rethinking a car you recently purchased or going back over a conversation you recently had with a sibling or neighbor. It’s possible you are adding a new routine to your day that you feel will improve your life. With Mars in Pisces conjoining Saturn in your second house of finances it is possible that you would love a new car, a new phone, or to take a new class but you have to wait until you have the money. Saturn is making you count every penny in your bank account and make sure that everything you spend is accounted for and for something meaningful. Jupiter and Uranus will be making their conjunction in your fourth house of home, family, and landed property so there could be something exciting that happens that sends shock waves through your family or maybe you decide to relocate suddenly.
The tool card for you, Aquarius, is: XII-The Hanged Man
This card is all about surrendering to the cycles of life and looking at things from a different perspective. This may be hard for you Aquarius because, although you like to think of yourself as progressive and open-minded, you can get stuck in your ways and that also means stuck in your beliefs about the way things should go and look. Now is a time to take a step back and detach emotionally for a second…what do you see? You see the solution, don’t you? It’s right in front of your face if you allow yourself to be open to it. It’s like looking at one of those images where you can’t see anything unless you relax your eyes…relax and breathe into it…once you see it, you won’t be able to unsee it and you’ll be free to take action!
Pisces
The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries will be happening in your second house of possessions, money, resources, and skills. This eclipse is a powerful new start in how you care for yourself, Pisces. You may feel wounded and weakened symbolized by Chiron conjoining this eclipse and Mars meeting up with Saturn in your first house, but this eclipse is heralding a launch in self-sufficiency that is like no other! You have been going back over the decisions you’ve made as of late and rethinking all of your ideas and aspirations and you are about to figure it out and realize what it is that will launch you forward like a rocket into outer space! Jupiter’s conjunction to Uranus will bring an exciting new twist that is like an earthquake that jostles loose your message and all of a sudden you won’t be able to shut up about it! What are you bringing to the world, Pisces? I can’t wait to hear it!
The tool card for you, Pisces, is: XXI The World
I love this card for you Pisces! I got chills the moment I saw it! This is huge. The change that is about to take place with this eclipse is huge! The World card is about coming full circle in life. Coming to the end of a cycle and beginning again. You have mastered something or completed something amazing and now you are ready to share your skills or what you have learned with the world! I feel this ties into the eclipse in your second house of skills in that you have become proficient in a skill or a way of feeding yourself that after this eclipse you will feel confident to share and it may come exploding out of you! There may be a lot of pressure as Saturn is polishing your soul as he travels through your first house, but don’t be scared of this refinement—he is teaching you things about yourself that only Saturn can do and these are hard lessons and uncomfortable truths, but they will make you stronger and more resilient in the future.
I hope you all enjoyed these horoscopes! Now, go and enjoy this eclipse!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
Very comprehensive, Monica! Excellent analysis! 💕
