Total Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries 2024

Tues 9 April 2024 at 4.20am AEST at 19 Aries

(total solar eclipse exact at 4.17am AEST, duration 4 min 28 sec)

Total Solar Eclipse conjunct Chiron

The New Moon in Aries on Tues 9 April (Qld time, the previous day in Europe and the Americas) is a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, visible over North America.  A New Moon always represents the beginning of a new cycle, and when it’s eclipsed, it’s a highly significant new beginning.

The path of this total solar eclipse falls across the eastern half of North America – and in fact, as I discussed in the Winds of Change webinar, it crosses the path of the solar eclipse of Oct 2023 which fell across the western half of the US. Their paths cross over Texas, which strongly suggests that Texas could be a particular hot-spot for significant changes!  Take a look at the Nasa graphics here: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/

This total eclipse falls at 19 degrees Aries, with totality lasting for 4 mins 28 secs – that’s a long eclipse, intensifying the effects still further, even if the eclipse is not visible where you are.  Mark this spot in your birth chart to see where changes and new beginnings are likely in your life.

Chiron is exactly conjunct this eclipse, indicating the enormous potential for healing that exists now, the beginning of a really significant new cycle.  The archetype of Chiron is the Wounded Healer, and in order for healing to take place, the original wound has to be reopened, cleansed and cauterised, a painful yet necessary pre-requisite for the subsequent healing.  Chiron has been in Aries since 2018 and I wrote then this could well manifest as healing the urges for aggression and violence. I was thinking at the time of domestic violence and femicide, but of course this aggression can also apply to conflicts and wars – Mars, the ruler of Aries, was after all the God of War.  Let’s hope that this Chiron conjunction with the eclipse can start a new cycle in healing and bring peace to all conflict zones.

The eclipses are linked to the Moon’s Nodes, and as this a North Node eclipse, we need to focus on developing positive Aries traits – taking action, being able to challenge and confront where necessary, moving away from endless debate that results in fence-sitting (South Node in Libra).

If your birthday falls close to this date (within a day either side), this is the beginning of a really significant new cycle in your life, particularly with regard to your sense of identity and purpose in life. The influence of Chiron means that this could be a significant new cycle in your own healing, or perhaps you’re at the stage where you can now bring healing energy to others.
 
The solar eclipse falls on Tues 9 April 2024 (AEST) at 19 Aries.  The eclipse is exact at 4.17am, the New Moon is exact at 4.20am – that’s Queensland time, AEST.

Your New Moon manifestations will be especially powerful on account of the eclipse.  Set your intentions within 24 hours of the New Moon.

And remember, take extra care during the eclipse season!!!
