What This Eclipse Is Really Asking You to Notice
An Aquarius Solar Eclipse and the slow work of becoming conscious within a changing world.
Hey Everyone!
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius goes exact at 7:13 AM NYC time.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Eclipses are “special” Full or New moons which line up with the lunar nodes.
The lunar nodes are not quite yet in Leo/Aquarius, so after tomorrow’s eclipse, we still have eclipses in the Pisces/Virgo axis, and the next Aquarius/Leo eclipse won’t be until February of 2027.
Not everyone is going to “feel” the eclipse! This eclipse will be most significant for Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, and Taurus (especially Aquarius) and especially for folks that have personal planets or chart points in Leo and Aquarius close to 28 - 29 degrees, the location of this eclipse.
While some folks won’t notice much at all, for others this eclipse may quietly begin a realignment, the start of something meaningful that only reveals itself when you look back and realize, oh… that’s when it started.
On a basic level, a New Moon is a time when heart and mind, subconscious and ego want to work together. It marks the end of something, an exhale, at the same time setting up the starting of something, an inhale.
The Aquarius New Moon is an opportunity to rework your relationship with the larger collective world that you’re a part of. To let go of what you cannot control, to let go of trying to engineer a narrative, to let go of needing your particular truth to be everyone’s truth, and to integrate a certain amount of healthy detachment—particularly around needing to be understood or validated.
When a New Moon also creates a Solar eclipse, the themes are amplified—there’s a larger resonance with longer-term (in units of months and years) currents. It’s also not trivial that we’re not getting another Aquarius/Leo eclipse until about a year from now; this eclipse might turn out to be a bit of a “preview” of things to come more fully towards the end of this year and through 2027. Which, intuitively, makes sense: we’re still at the early stages of Pluto’s transit through Aquarius, and Jupiter will enter Leo in July.
Think about an Eclipse as inoculating a substrate with energetic spores. You might not notice anything immediately, but over time those spores might grow into something significant.
