On April 8th at 2:21pm EDT, a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipsebecomes exact in 19.5º of Aries. This launches a new Moon and Eclipse cycle.
As we remain in Eclipse Season until April 18th, the coming weeks could offer some tailwinds that carry us to significant breakthroughs; we are invited to learn how to be conscious creators, mindful of how our thinking and choices affect our personal and collective experiences.
As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better — the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.
Stay grounded and flexible — and don’t jump the gun for the next 2-3 weeks — if you feel compelled to do something, do your best to observe the urge — unless it is connected to something that happens organically — if you are ambivalent about taking an action, better hold off until Eclipse Season ends on April 18th.
Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that occur approximately every six months. This Eclipse cycle will be in effect until March 2025; this is the first Solar Eclipse of this year and the second in Aries in this Eclipse cycle. You may also want to watch my Solar Eclipse video.
The first Solar Eclipse in Aries (connected to the current Eclipse cycle) occurred on April 20th, 2023. What have you discovered about your physical vitality and self-identity since then? Where are you asked to get out of your comfort zone? Has this been a humbling experience so far?
During a Solar Eclipse, the Moon momentarily interrupts the normal flow of Solar Radiation, reorganizing our consciousness to a higher level. Solar Eclipses indicate the beginning of a new experience, project, or cycle.
This will be the third of three Super New Moons in a row, and as some of you already know, SuperMoons occur when the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth (at the time of a New Moon or Full Moon) and are more powerful. This means greater awareness of the issues connected to the particular New Moon energy.
Total Solar Eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. The Moon will completely cover the Sun.
This Total Eclipse will be visible in North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. It will begin over the South Pacific Ocean. The first location in continental North America that will experience totality is Mexico’s Pacific coast.
The path of the Eclipsecontinues from Mexico, entering the United States in Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the Total Solar Eclipse.
The Eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario and continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton. It will exit continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
No matter where you are on the planet, however, the effects of the Eclipse will be transformative globally. Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond to significant endings and beginnings.
We will likely experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonance”, not repetition — so think back to the Spring of 2005 and ask yourself: Were there any significant endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?
For more guidance on those questions, it is best to take a look at our Natal Charts — the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest to embrace a healthy sense of Self and rise to a new level of consciousness around independence and forging our path, gently and holistically.

Star Members of my online community: check your inbox or junk folder for the email you received on March 22nd.
Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release and recalibration of some sort because old programs will get deleted and new ones downloaded– and for this Eclipse, this is especially true in connection with our relationship to our human identity and our sense of agency in the world — in other words, how capable we feel to get things done.
This begins with our role in our interactions with others, whether we can be direct about our personal goals and passions and inspire others to follow our example.
Solar Eclipses are an excellent time to go within, to seed anything we would like to integrate and understand better about ourselves over the next six months until the next Solar Eclipse (Oct. 2nd, 2024) — we’ll dig into this in more detail towards the end of this video/article when we talk about setting Solar Eclipse Intentions.
Setting Intentions for Solar Eclipses differs from a regular New Moon! So stay tuned!

Since Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º… so since this Solar Eclipse takes place in 19º24’ of Aries:
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-25 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)
Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle rather than just the next 28 days.
Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. This is because we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are pretty intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions — that said, it’s best to avoid setting them during a Moon void of course.
Given all this, here are the best and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse: Between 2:21pm on Wednesday, April 10th, and 6:04am on Thursday, April 11th. Then again, from 8:59am on April 11th until 2:21pm on Friday, April 12th. Note that all times above are given in US Eastern Time — i.e., the New York time zone.
Set powerful intentions — remember, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Aries energy!
If you live in a timezone other than EDT and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook page and following me on X (Twitter), as I post reminders on those platforms when it’s time to set your intentions.
This week’s headline items: a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Libra becomes exact on Monday very early morning, and on Thursday, Mercury starts to slow down (station) — preparing for its Retrograde phase in Aries.
Please note: Daylight Savings Time begins in the U.K. and Europe very early on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for almost 10 hours), Friday late morning (for a little over 4 hours), and Sunday evening (for 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, you can still…
Monday,the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Wednesday early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time as we seek the approval of others.
Monday very early morning, at 3am EDT, the Moon in 5 degrees Libra opposes the Sun in Aries. This powerful Full Moon is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (the most subtle kind of Lunar Eclipses).
It can be viewed in parts of Antarctica, the western half of Africa, western Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, North and South America, the Pacific Ocean, Japan, and the eastern half of Australia.
It lasts for approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes, so we can expect to sense the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for four months and twenty days. Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind that Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. This means we may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Beware of projections and jumping to conclusions.
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the first of two Eclipses within two weeks; it offers an opportunity for a more balanced connection to life and others.
If you are unsure whether you are projecting something on someone else, check for defensiveness, overreactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.
Eclipse Season started on March 15th and lasts until April 18th (that’s 10 days after the Solar Eclipse in Aries that follows this Lunar Eclipse).
So the questions here are: What am I aware of? What will I choose? Where will I focus my mind? My Heart? What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?
Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
This is the first South Node Lunar Eclipse in Librasince the Moon Nodes shifted into the Aries-Libra polarity in July of last year — highlighting issues around relationship dynamics (“me” vs. “we”) and assertion vs. collaboration.
The Moon Nodes usually remain in any particular polarity for 18 months. They return to the same polarity every 18-19 years.
All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads symbolized by the signs involved.
The North Node in Aries emphasizes the necessity of a healthy connection with oneself — with our passions, personal goals, active pursuits, and our current independent path.
The South Node in Libra extends an invitation to create a more balanced connection between ourselves, others, and life — and to take a closer look at any dependency issues with others.
There was a Full Moon in 5º of Libra in March of 2005 when the Moon Nodes were in the Aries-Libra polarity as they are right now. However, the Moon Nodes were too far away from the Full Moon polarity for it to be an Eclipse, so the last time we had a South Node Lunar Eclipse in Libra was in April 1987.
Think back to that time — if you are old enough to remember: What needed to change about your relationship with yourself and with others?
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse chart:
The Moon in Libra not only opposes the Sun but also Chiron in Aries, and it trines Pluto in Aquarius
Venus, the ruler of Libra, is currently in Pisces, closely aligned with Saturn and in a wide conjunction with Neptune in Pisces
The Venus-Saturn alignment in Pisces sextiles the Jupiter-Uranus alignment in Taurus
Venus also quincunxes the South Node in Libra
Mars, the ruler of Aries, is currently in an early degree of Pisces and makes a semi-sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, as well as a wide conjunction to Saturn in Pisces
Mercury entered its pre-Shadow phase @16º of Aries on March 18th and will begin to slow down (station) @26/27º of Aries on March 28th, starting its 3.5-week Retrograde phase on April 1st!
We will address all of these aspects in a moment — but first, let’s take a look at the Libra-Aries polarity:
The Libra-Aries polarity highlights the spiritual dance between various polarities:
* individual drives/goals and one-on-one relationships
* masculine and feminine (in their ideal versions)
* independence and collaboration
Whether we are single or partnered up, we are all in a relationship with someone — any one-on-one relationship counts here — business, personal, health-related, etc.

This week’s headline items: Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Monday late evening; the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday late evening — in the Northern hemisphere, this also marks the Spring Equinox and International Astrology Day! Mars changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Friday evening; Sunday afternoon starts the build-up towards a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Libra.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 41 minutes), Thursday night/Friday very early morning (for a little over 1 hour), and Sunday late morning (for almost 5 hours).
We will talk aboutEclipse Season in more detail and what to expect until April 18th and the first full Mercury Retrograde phase in Aries, which begins on April 1st and lasts until April 25th… And all of this will be linked right to our personal birth charts!
Monday,the Moon remains inprotective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt, so be kind to yourself and others. Self-care is key until Tuesday afternoon.
Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.
Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it; otherwise, you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday early morning, is a great time to focus on spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and to lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, focus on the here and now and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past.(Moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces, exact at 4:29am EDT)
Monday late morning, we have an opportunity to examine our beliefs around physical comforts and anything that gives us pleasure and stability to see if those beliefs align with what nurtures us.
It’s worthwhile to ponder philosophical questions about whether or not our needs are being met — and whether our physical comforts leave us feeling nurtured.
It is also an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and expand our perspectives on financial issues or concerns — or simply to take a look at our physical reality and what feeds us.(Moon in Cancer sextiles Jupiter in Taurus and squares Mercury in Aries, exact at 9:24am & 10:29am EDT)
Monday late afternoon, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.(Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:24pm EDT)
Monday evening, we have an opportunity to connect to family (or friends who feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach to financial matters that brings us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancersextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8:20pm EDT)
Monday at 10:13pm EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase when it reaches 16 degrees of Aries; this is 2 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on April 1st at 27º11′ of Aries).
Mercury is the planet of communication and information exchange. Communication starts within our minds — our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.
What is the Shadow phase? The period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase is referred to as the “Shadow phase”; at these times, the planet travels through the same degrees of a sign (or signs) it will also pass through during its Retrograde phase.
Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks before and after a Retrograde phase.
If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items — especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) — be aware of the Shadow periods as well as the Retrograde phases.
If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters its pre-Shadow or wait until after the post-Shadow phase is over — post-Shadow phase will end on May 13th, 2024 (in this case).
Of course, if there is something that must get done during these phases, don’t put your whole life on hold just because Mercury is Retrograde or in its Shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect”
When Mercury moves through its pre-Shadow phase in Aries, it’s time to pay attention to what comes up in our lives in connection with new beginnings, things we feel passionate about, and walking our path.
Whatever mental connections, thoughts, or conversations we initiate between March 18th and April 1st must be reviewed during the Mercury Retrograde phase (April 1st – 25th).

The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel impelled to go to the next level. Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 5 degrees of Libra:
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-10 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoorCancer(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Monday,the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects.
Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
Monday all day is still the most potent time to set your New Moon Intentions. If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — and to (re-) watch my New Moon video, click here.
Monday at 5:50pm EDT, Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journeyuntil April 4th/5th.
For thenext four weeks, we can connect to people from our compassionate hearts. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.
With Venus inPisces, our love is very accepting—it comes as close to “unconditional” as humans can get. One way this probably will show up is plenty of rooting for the underdog. We prefer “feeling things out” to “planning the last detail.”
As you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” — but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Pisces? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love — or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.
Monday late evening/night, has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations(Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 12:41am EDT)

This week’s headline items: the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday late evening; Mercury changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Saturday late evening; the New Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Sunday early morning.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for 3.5 hours), Friday afternoon (for a little over 6 hours), and Sunday late afternoon (for a little over 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please note:
**Summer Daylight Savings Time begins in Northern America and Canada on Sunday, March 10th at 2am EST ==> Clocks move forward one hour! This means from Sunday on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and movements in EDT.
Please make sure that you adjust this for your location accordingly. For example, for the UK, it will be 4 hours ahead instead of the usual 5 hours — until March 31st, then it will be 5 hours again!
Monday,the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 4:15pm EST. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
Monday at 10:41am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 5.5 hours until 4:15pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both, your need for adventure and exploration of life, and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.
Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 4:15pm EST, the Moon moves into ambitious, pragmatic, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation will become crucial.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces. This is a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.
It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) regarding your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?
What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?
What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe at this moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?
Monday afternoon,an opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:24pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday afternoon (March 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (March 5th). This brings an opportunity for insight and novelty. We might experience some really unusual conversations.
Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.
This aspect also brings an opportunity to see things from a different perspective or to put a new spin on our “old” thinking structure. We like to connect in unusual ways, and any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights — this might be a busy day.
As best as you can — and as much as you want to — stay open to other dimensions. Ask yourself: How might connecting to others in unusual or new ways create a better future for all of us and for this planet?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-22 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

This is the last Lunation before we enter Eclipse Season — which starts on March 15th and lasts until April 18th.
Eclipse Season is usually an unpredictable time, as we are recalibrating on a physical, mental and emotional level which gives us a chance to move to the next level of our evolution – on a personal and collective level.
New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon is another SuperMoon (the second of three Super New Moons in a row). These occur when the Moon is closest to the Earth (at the time of a New or Full Moon) and are more powerful. This means greater awareness of the issues connected to the particular New Moon energy.
Since this one occurs in Pisces, this Super New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.
This Super New Moon charthas four planets inPisces, including the Sun, Moon, Saturn, and Neptune. Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) is within 7 degrees of the New Moon, still close enough to make an impact and invite us to open our hearts and dissolve anything that keeps us separate from that heart connection.
The New Moon sextiles Uranus in Taurus, making this an opportune time to tune into the unique value we each have.
Mars in Aquarius is most aspected in this Super New Moon chart. It semi-sextiles the New Moon in Pisces, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and squares Uranus in Taurus.
This will bring an opportunity for more profound healing, individually and collectively speaking. But we are also invited to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we have known ourselves to be. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Pisces-energy:
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Before I talk about New Moon Intentions, let me mention my next FORECASTING FORUM…
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon Void of Course phase.
So this month, the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be between 5am and 3:45pm onMarch 10th and from 8:19pm onMarch 10th until 5am on March 12th — New York time.
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook pageorfollow me on Twitter as I post reminders on March 10th, 11th,and 12th to let you know when to set your intentions.
