Solar Eclipse Meaning
A solar eclipse is just like a regular new moon where the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun. However, a solar eclipse is more powerful because the Moon darkens the Sun. The strongest and most important aspect of astrology is Sun conjunct Moon. It gives an invigorating burst of energy and initiative.
But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating. It means all possibilities are on the table and you can rightly put yourself at the forefront of new plans for the future. So this is an excellent time for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress.
Solar Eclipse Aspects
Solar Eclipse sextile Mars (1°24′) gives a boost of confidence, strength, and courage. It is excellent for physical activities like exercise, manual labor, and competitive activities like sports and business. Personal relationships, especially those of an intimate nature, benefit from extra warmth, charm, and charisma. It also increases passionate desire and sexual attraction.
A solar eclipse is a perfect time to start new projects or make a fresh start. The sextile to Mars adds initiative and assertiveness to get things moving. It is especially good for getting things done you have put off in the past because they seemed too difficult.
Solar Eclipse conjunct Uranus (4°03′) brings change and excitement. The risk of unwanted change and chaos is greatly reduced by the sextile to Mars. So there should be positive changes and greater personal freedom. It is perfect for starting something totally new and different. Uranus also adds flexibility, open-mindedness, intuition, and self-awareness to the solar eclipse April 2022 astrology.
Mars sextile Uranus (2°39′) increases initiative, motivation, inspiration, and your desire for fun and excitement. It further stimulates physical attraction and makes you more daring and adventurous. You should also be more willing to take risks and try something new. This really is an ideal eclipse for initiating big changes in your life. They should happen quickly and relatively smoothly.
More Aspects
Venus conjunct Jupiter (00°01′) brings love, money, harmony, and happiness. So this is an excellent eclipse for socializing and especially for dating. Making friends come easy and new partnerships should be genuine and mutually beneficial. Good fortune also applies to long-distance travel, financial investments, higher education, and the law.
Venus sextile Pluto (0°40′) makes companionship more important as you feel a longing to share your love with someone special. Obsessions are possible and a new romance would be a whirlwind experience and greatly change your life. Deeper feelings of love in an existing relationship can evolve it to a more profound or spiritual level.
Jupiter sextile Pluto (0°38′) amplifies and intensifies the good fortune in love and money created by Venus conjunct Jupiter. Increased power and influence bring positive change and success. Powerful forces working behind the scenes can lead to spiritual and personal growth, wealth creation, and professional advancement. A strong urge to reform something in your life may coincide with an opportunity to do just that.
Asteroid 433 Eros
Asteroid Eros at 11°18′ Taurus is conjunct the solar eclipse by less than one degree. Eros literally means ‘desire’ and the asteroid was named after the Greek god of love and sex. His Roman counterpart was Cupid. Eros was also the god of friendship and liberty.
Gymnasiums were consecrated to Eros, and sacrifices were offered to Eros before soldiers went into battle. They believed that safety and victory depended on the friendship of those who stand side by side in the battle. More recently, however, it was believed that Eros mischievously intervened in the affairs of gods and mortals to cause bonds of love to form, often illicitly. [1]
