☉ 28°49′ ♒ conjunct ☽ 28°49′ ♒
Dear friends,
This New Moon and Solar Eclipse fills me, despite many obstacles I am currently facing, with profound joy. I deeply love the clarity and purity of Aquarius, and its energy of friendship and brotherhood, of equality. It is with devotion that I share what I feel and perceive is unfolding for us.
The New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse in Aquarius ♒ represent an exceptionally powerful threshold of closure and, at the same time, the initiation of a new cycle of consciousness. The conjunction of the ☉ Sun and ☽ Moon on the almost final degree of Aquarius ♒ in the 9th house marks a reset of old ways of thinking and the release of outdated beliefs. It opens space for more supportive perceptions and conscious decisions about what we truly choose to believe and embody.
The 9th house emphasizes the transformation of our life philosophy, our relationship to truth and knowledge, and the direction we guide our awareness. This is a reset of the cosmic mind itself. Let us use the time before, during, and after the eclipse to pause, enter the darkness 🌑, and observe what within us is no longer alive.
Darkness always opens a space for regeneration and the possibility of the rebirth of consciousness.
The eclipse ☉☽ in Aquarius ♒ forms a nearly exact square □ with Uranus ♅ in Taurus ♉ in the 11th house, bringing an electric, sudden moment of awakening and movement. Uranus ♅ is the planet of liberation, sudden change, and the initiator of radical breakthroughs, the challenger of tradition.
This aspect acts as an initiator within the cosmic mind, capable of suddenly interrupting the continuity of old identities and former senses of belonging. The 11th house emphasizes collective fields, communities, and the future, so sudden shifts may occur in relationships, communities, or in our realization of where we truly belong.
That which is no longer in resonance with our truth may suddenly dissolve, while that which resonates with our future may unexpectedly activate.
Pluto ♇ in Aquarius ♒ in the 8th house opens the possibility of profound transformation of inherited psychic structures, unconscious societal patterns, and family beliefs. Its aspects to True Lilith ⚸ in Scorpio ♏ open access to primal, instinctual power that has long been buried in the unconscious.
This is a time when we may receive deep insight into the internal structures that have shaped our relationship to power, creativity, and self-expression. Darkness becomes a space of transformation, where old psychic patterns can be brought into awareness and released.
Can we accept our limitations as allies?
Can we feel free even within limitations?
Part of the human experience is imperfection and limitation. Transformation begins through acceptance.
An exceptionally important emphasis of this eclipse is the conjunction of the North Node ☊ and Venus ♀ in Pisces ♓ in the 9th house, near the MC. This aspect opens karmic alignment with our life path and activates subtle perception, intuition, and inner knowing, bringing clarity about our purpose.
Venus ♀ in Pisces ♓ acts as a channel for manifesting visions emerging from deeper soul awareness. Dreams, visions, and subtle inner truths may now take concrete form in the external world.
This is a time for compassion toward oneself and others — an energy that naturally expresses itself through creativity and a holistic philosophical understanding of life.
It is also important to understand the chain of dispositors guiding this eclipse.
Venus ♀, conjunct the North Node ☊ in Pisces ♓, is ruled by Neptune ♆, which is conjunct Saturn ♄ in Aries ♈ in the 10th house. This represents the drying out of illusion and confrontation with reality.
What can we truly manifest within the time of this lifetime?
How can we create real structures that ground our visions?
This means that subtle visions and soul callings can no longer remain only on an etheric level—they seek embodiment in our life direction and lived reality.
Saturn ♄ in Aries ♈ is ruled by Mars ♂ in Aquarius ♒ in the 9th house, activating action toward new consciousness.
Mars ♂ is ruled by Uranus ♅ in Taurus ♉ in the 11th house, meaning this process manifests as sudden shifts in collective reality and future direction.
This chain clearly shows that the soul’s vision ♀☊♓, through ♆♄♈, seeks embodiment, activates new consciousness ♂♒, and grounds itself as real change through ♅♉ for the future.
The conjunction of Saturn ♄ and Neptune ♆ at the beginning of Aries ♈ marks the beginning of an entirely new cycle of embodied consciousness. Neptune dissolves illusion, while Saturn demands structure and manifestation.
This aspect signifies the end of certain illusions and the beginning of the embodiment of new truths.
Visions can no longer exist only as ideas — they require presence, responsibility, and embodiment.
Jupiter ♃ retrograde in Cancer ♋ returns us to our inner source of power and invites deep internal integration. It is a return to inner belonging and emotional grounding.
The Ascendant in Cancer ♋ emphasizes the question of incarnation — how we live our truth in the body and on Earth.
Aquarius ♒ carries cosmic awareness, yet this eclipse requires that awareness to become embodied.
With most planets above the horizon, transformation unfolds through relationships, communities, and collective fields.
In this period, we may encounter soul brothers and sisters.
In summary, this eclipse opens a profound global transformation of consciousness. We stand at the threshold between old and new versions of ourselves. The seeds planted now carry the power to shape our future.
Our conscious choice is essential.
If seeds are planted in a community, their manifestation will be amplified.
Growth is rarely comfortable. Can we remain present within discomfort and consciously choose our next steps in alignment with our soul purpose and collective evolution?
Key questions of this eclipse:
- What are we ready to believe anew?
- What supports the embodiment of visions that serve future generations?
- What supports us in living fully as ourselves?
- Can we be present with all that we are?
- Do we see our next step?
Thoughts carry power. Let us nurture them like a sacred rose garden.
With love and devotion,
