8° Aries 59'

March 29, 2025 — An Aries partial solar eclipse forms on Saturday, opening a portal between one world and the next, as the north node and Moon straddle Pisces and Aries. This eclipse lights up an ongoing stellium stacked at the end of the last sign of the zodiac and the beginning of the first. The theme is obvious—we're experiencing a major release to make room for an entirely new story to take shape.

Venus retrograde is crossing Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune—emphasizing love, money, values, and justice. We're dissolving old patterns while seeding new ones. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde falls conjunct the Sun and Moon. This solar eclipse is a powerful initiation. The emphasis on the end of Pisces, along with the Venus and Mercury retrogrades, show us what we need to resolve and release from the past in order to experience a powerful fresh start.

In many ways, the energies have felt chaotic and uncertain as we've faced the wobbliness of dissolution. While momentum begins to build, we won't have a clear direction until later in May when the personal planets leave their shadows—and even moreso in July, when Uranus enters Gemini, lighting up a powerful triangle of revolution. An unimaginably fresh energetic landscape is about to unfold, bringing deep, overdue breakthroughs.

For years, we've worked hard to dislodge from our particular stuckness. There's been a feeling of beating our heads against the wall as we've asked ourselves: Why are we still here? Now, the dam's about to break open. We're recalibrating love, relationships, self-worth, and value systems in preparation for a collective awakening that's set to rise—rooted in courage, compassion, and clear vision.

The stelliums in Aries and Pisces remind us of spiritual warriorship—Pisces represents spirituality and universal love, while Aries is the god of war. We can feel the strength of our spines and the gentleness of our hearts, allowing waves of emotion to move through us without clenching up or judging them.

We've been preparing for this moment for a long time. While it's challenging, there's strength in numbers. It may bring solace to remember that we're all in this together. Profound change is ready to take place—both inwardly and outwardly—and how we show up will shape what comes next. It's time for vigilance, trust, gentle discipline, and a commitment to keeping our hearts open, no matter what.

ARIES SOLAR ECLIPSE ASPIRATION

On this Aries solar eclipse, may we maintain the gentle discipline to strengthen our backs and soften our hearts, remembering that we are lightly here. May we release our grips without fear as we gallantly leap toward new realities—and whole new levels of awakening.
