The New Moon Solar Eclipse in sidereal Aries is dynamic, initiatory, courageous in every way. Eclipses offer an energetic severing from our past selves and a realignment with our future selves. Both the Solar Eclipse of April 30 and the Partial Lunar Eclipse of May 15 are linked to the North Lunar Node, a point that calls in our future selves, activating desires and motivation via internal awakenings and external shifts for where we are headed over the next six months. Feel your renewed will, passion, joy, belief in yourself as a fiery prayer, a flame of fortitude.

I dedicate this post to 399, Grizzly Bear Matriarch of Grand Teton National Park. And thank you my friends, Shannon and David Biegel, for the use of you exquisite precision portraits of 399 and the quad cubs. May these Grizzlies be safe in this lands they roam.

This New SolLunar Cycle in sidereal Pisces is linked exactly to both Mercury and Chiron. This can mean that in the upcoming month it is important to pay attention to your mental health and thought patterns alongside your overall physical health. It is essential we each take exquisite self-care, by choice or by necessity in this time of sensitivity and vulnerability. We will thankfully experience a new 13-year cycle of Jupiter and Neptune aligning in sidereal Aquarius so read more about this key historic transit in my post. Be well, rest, listen more deeply than ever to your wise, inner voice.

For a couple of months, I had been anticipating writing about this New SolLunar Cycle exactly conjunct optimistic Jupiter in hopes of cataloguing heavenly good news. This is a month of expansive beginnings as we move into a new phase of life, perhaps involving a physical move, shifts in key relationships, coming to terms with where the joy of your Being is guiding you next. Jupiter is now completing its transit through sidereal futuristic Aquarius and so the spiritual activation for many is to open further, and for the first time, to greater compassion and acceptance for all choices and forms individual expression. Aquarius is the sign of Rainbow Tribe of Humanity. This is the direction we are moving in, no doubt.
