April 8th 2024: Solar Eclipse 19˚Aries and Lunar eclipse 5˚ Libra

The eclipse series are here for Aries and Libra in 2024. The north node of the moon touches the perfect new Moon conjunction at 19˚Aries. The Sun went completely dark through out the hill country and parts of North Texas. The RGV saw mostly a cloudy sky with bits of the eclipse peaking through. Glasses were mostly not necessary today for us here on the Tejas Frontera. The energy is still strong both the lunar eclipse at 5˚ Libra two weeks ago and Solar eclipse today touched the 10th and 4th house axis. The themes of home and public eye are powerfully affected here. The 1st decan of Libra is about intuition and ability to sell in an open market. This decan is ruled by the Moon and both travel and sales are activated by both Lunar and Solar eclipses. The Sun is very close to his exaltation degree in Aries and there is a feeling of the Sun being in his thrown. The second Decan of Aries is royal and we have the question of ruling over our dominion, even if our kingdom is modest we want our space how we like it and mean to rule it as such. This decan of Aries does have hubris attached to it so don’t get caught being to bossy with our little piece of land because we may find that we get ourselves in trouble over silly complications that could become public scandal. Mercury is now retrograde and near this Solar conjunction therefore some themes of this Mercury retrograde will take precedence here again think hubris and our social groups and friends, also allow time for your bills and taxes to be turned in as this retrograde may create a snafu for your pocketbook. We also musts consider the ascendant being at the 24˚ of Cancer. Here this Decan is the overflowing cup, and we are tempted to share our resources, energy or time with others who would take advantage of us.Mars and Saturn are nearly conjunct in the 9th house and this echoes themes of Moon and travel. Both malefic planets together and in a watery feminine sign brings to mind more subtle corruption and lies. These planets are tied to Jupiter and Uranus via sextile so there is a feeling that what happens here will involve more feminine and softer corruption. Lastly, we consider the Jupiter and Uranus that great boons and changes will occur for us in this eclipse cycle yet they will most likely be swift surprises. Lets be ready for these changes and be able to roll with the deep waves created by Saturn and Mars in Pisces.
