Total solar eclipse 8 April 2024 – Sun/Moon 19 Aries

The focus of this eclipse is work and well-being. You are working very hard and certainly making a difference to others and getting the recognition you deserve. Work seems to be all consuming. The aspect of your life that is tricky is your relationship and or your children. Do you have time for these aspects of your life? Would your partner like to fall pregnant? Is this creating conflict in your relationship? It certainly looks like your relationship needs some attention – change is necessary. You may be surprised by the outcome. It could be disruptive. Do you meet someone else? Do you need freedom at this time? What about sport and or creativity? Time to schedule in some fun with the people you love. All work and no play is no good at all!

This eclipse is part of Saros Series 8 North. Bernadette Brady indicates that this series is associated with flashes of genius, intuitive leaps, great insights, visions and inspiration. This will pull a person away from their relationship and or social circle as they need to be free and independent to take advantage of this inspirational period.

William Lily in 1652 described eclipses in the middle degrees of Aries as being destructive for fruit bearing trees and bounty from the earth is rotten and this affects both man and animals. He describes that a king or leader may find themselves in prison and have their freedom restricted.
