The solar eclipse will also reactivate themes that surfaced under last year’s solar eclipse in Aries on April 20, 2023. Think about what you were initiating or focusing your energy on around that time, as this marks a second chapter in that storyline.
There will be some tension in the sky when Mars and Saturn, the two most notoriously challenging planets, link up in Pisces on April 10. Mars is a planet of action, anger, courage, and drive; whereas, Saturn is a planet of restriction, responsibility, commitment, and karma. When they join together, it creates a sort of stop-and-go energy: Mars wants to push forward, and Saturn demands you take your time. This can infuse the day with a somber, serious energy and potentially trigger temporary setbacks or delays before you’re able to make much progress on anything.
At this halfway point of the retrograde, Mercury is said to “sit in the heart of the sun,” which gives it some temporary strength, leading to a moment of clarity and illumination.
ICYMI: Mercury is currently retrograde in Aries, too, which has been causing crossed wires and tech issues since April 1. But some relief arrives when the sun and Mercury meet at the same point in the sky, forming a cazimi on April 11. At this halfway point of the retrograde, Mercury is said to “sit in the heart of the sun,” which gives it some temporary strength, leading to a moment of clarity and illumination. This is a powerful day to communicate your thoughts and feelings with the important people in your life.
