Eclipse Portal OPENS and SO IT BEGINS!!! 

We have a New Moon Aries Solar Eclipse going into a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio & what do Aries & Scorpio have in common? MARS the fierce warring planet rules both. This Eclipse month is a FORCE to be Reckoned with even as Mars is in Gemini where Mars is more strategic & less volatile, but still this is a month where Tempers can flare. 

4 Eclipses: 

1. April 19th 9:12pm Aries 29 degrees Solar Eclipse!
2. MAY 5th 14 degrees Scorpio LUNAR Eclipse 
3. SOLAR Eclipse October 14, 2023, at 1:55 PM, at 21° Libra

We have so much to UNPACK today w/ this New Blue Moon in Aries, Jupiter Conjunct Eris, everybody’s favorite Mercury Retrograde & a mystical, magical Sabian Symbol asking us all to strike a New Chord to Co-Create a new REALM, oh my, it’s going to be an Ecstatic 6 months Eclipse Portal if you can RISE to the challenges ahead, stay tapped in & turned on until the end of this bumpy ride adventure!!! 

I’ll include some powerful Herbal Allies at the end to help you maintain your equilibrium….& a Shiva Lingum pendulum space clearing that we could all use about now! 

Life imitates Astrology b/c this Eclipse is all about Disruptions & Obstacles & so I have my Ganesh remover of obstacles….b/c we went out in nature yesterday & we were hit w/ so many Disruptors, even just NATURE, Arctic WIND Breezes so fierce 

2 ARIES NEW Moons in a ROW spells ILLUMINATION,

REBIRTH, RESET, Brand Spanking New Opportunities

A FRESH, New way Forward is coming in!!! 

Whenever we have 2 New Moons in a row in the same sign,

like we do this month, our 2nd New moon ARIES,

it’s like having a Blue Moon which is 2 Full moons in one

month, it’s extra Special, it’s the Universe saying PAY

ATTENTION NOW!  Something SPECTACULAR is about to

happen, OPEN YOUR EYES, get off your phone, LOOK UP, this

is going to shake you out of your slumber & this Eclipse

Portal will be a collective AWAKENING!!!

Perhaps some Great OPPORTUNITY Came to you w/ that magnificent Jupiter Sun Cazimi, but now is not a time to forge ahead, now is a time to ask yourself “ARE YOU SURE?!?!” & Weigh your OPTIONS b/c the Dragon’s Tail of this Eclipse is LIBRA, the SCALES 

A Double NEW Moon is a time to revise your intentions that were set in the previous new moon cycle and this is an opportunity for to adapt to changing circumstances. If whatever you are trying to do is not working, TRY, TRY Again, Try a different way or let that intention go & make a New Plan Forward because what’s meant for you will not pass you by, if it’s not coming to you, maybe it’s not meant for you? Align with the energy of what it is you want, start there. This ARIES new moon lights a FIRE under you, to motivate you & the ambitious energy coming in now is double that of the previous Aries new moon. The energy of this new karmic cycle is asking you to stand up for yourself & achieve your Biggest Goals even if you are confronting some obstacle, enemy or disruption!!! Be the RAM push your way through the hardships, deal with it & move FORWARD beyond the power struggles.

This Eclipse Portal we are entering will have a

profound effect on us for the next 6 MONTHS if you are an

Aries or a Libra or you have your North Node in Aries / Libra

you will be having the biggest

QUANTUM LEAPS forward, but just like I tell my Reiki

Students when they get their Reiki Attunements, it’s not all

Rainbows & Unicorns….it can also bring about Healing Crisis,

the dark night of the Soul & ARIES the WARRIOR combined

with his sister ERIS the Goddess of Dischord is saying FEEL

THE FEARS & then DO IT ANYWAYS!!!! 

Aries the fierce Warrior would bring his sister ERIS into battle

& they were both fearless fighters full of rage &

righteousness, fighting for the PEOPLE, so this is a time when “You gotta FIGHT for your Right….to party, I just get Beastie Boys when I say that but..” it’s a tricky time where Passion may lead us on new paths, but it’s NOT a great time to make any big, life altering decisions, see the Path to take but stay where you are for now.

We are asked to be 

BIGGER, to EXPAND, to go BEYOND our current

capabilities, to Strive for something GREATER, to make

a real difference in our world, to stand up to injustice, to

REVOLT, but also to HEAL our deepest wounds,  we’re all

going to be BUSY the next 6 months, especially Aries & Libra,

but we all have Aries & Libra somewhere in our chart, it’s a

good idea to know where this Eclipse Portal Energy is hitting

you personally!!!

I am doing an ECLIPSE Astrology Reading sale for $88

I will give you a Chart reading focused on how the 2023

Eclipse Portal will affect you personally & I will include all 4

Eclipses that we have this year! 

Jupiter Conjunct ERIS the Goddess of Dischord in ARIES,

this is a time of DISRUPTIONS. Let’s talk about ERIS….

As the story goes…A hero named Peleus and a sea nympThetis

had a magnificent wedding on Mount Olympus.

Everyone was invited, except for the goddess Eris, whose name

is also “Discordia” in Latin. Well shunning Eris was a Big

mistake!

Eris created CHAOS at the wedding when she threw a golden apple marked for the “fairest of all” into the dining table. Three goddesses believed it was for them and started to fight — Athena, Goddess of wisdom, Venus, goddess of love and beauty and Juno, the Queen. A heated battle ensued over this golden apple. To settle the dispute, Jupiter, the king of the gods, plucked a poor mortal named Paris from a hillside and forced him to choose. All the goddesses tried to bribe him: Athena with her martial arts, Juno with political clout, but it was Venus’ who won after charming with her beauty & love vibes. Paris was granted the most beautiful woman in the world in return for awarding the golden apple to Venus, the goddess of love. Unfortunately, the woman he chose was Helen of Troy, who was already married to King Menelaus. When Paris ran off with Helen,  the Trojan War ensued, it all began with Eris seeking revenge for not being included, so there is a theme running right now about how those who are excluded will rise up & create dischord, we are in such a time of the “Haves & Have nots” this Jupiter conjunct Eris with an ARIES eclipse has REVOLUTION written all over it!

Eris is urging us all to speak out, to take action, to make a CHANGE. I think Marianne Williamson’s Presidential Campaign is the embodiment of this Eris Conjunct Jupiter transit as she ran in 2020 & she was practically shunned, not taken seriously, even as she gave a powerful message that inspired real CHANGE, she is challenging our broken down System with a force of LOVE & Grace unlike any politician we have ever seen & Rayner Jae Liu sees her as ERIS, too as he wrote an article entitled “meet Eris, the Goddess behind the Force that is Marianne Williamson” & I love this quote from his piece: 

“I think Marianne running is kicking up the unhealed parts of the country. The Goddess Eris story is extremely relevant to your campaign. When a truth-teller enters the scene, she reveals the darker underbellies of the collective that many people would prefer to ignore.” I will link to this article in the description if you want to learn more.  This is exactly what Goddess ERIS does, she shows us our UNHEALED Parts, our failings, our EGO wounds & she makes us deal with it by bringing Chaos into our lives…. Put your seat belts on & prepare for turbulence this Eclipse Portal!!! 

When I do Astrology readings & I see an aspect like this, I am a truth telling Scorpio, I’m going to tell you it’s going to be HARD, there’s no way to sweeten a transit like this, the best thing you can do is KNOW where ERIS at 24 Degrees of Aries falls for you & then prepare for battle!!! For me it’s my 9th House of Beliefs, look at your chart, find the House that ARIES is in & leave a comment about where ERIS falls for you & I will let you know what I think it means for you. Eris conjunct Jupiter in my 9th house asks me to stand up for my beliefs & Freedom & rebel against anything that would try to take that away from me. This conjunction will have a different FLAVOR for each & every one of you depending which house it shows up in. Eris is exalted in the 4th House & the sign of Cancer, so if you have Eris in the 4th house, you will be the most empowered by this!!! 

April 20th we have SUN SQUARE PLUTO, the Sun has just moved into Taurus now Square Pluto at Zero degrees Aquarius affecting all FIXED SIGNS with that diamond making pressure we’ve become accustomed to by now. There is a danger of a deep TRANSFORMATION here, look out Will Robinson, I can’t say much more about this Square, as a Scorpio I am just squared out, but will I be laying low this day? why Yes, yes I will.

Mercury Retrograde in TAURUS April 21st will be

adding fuel to this already disruptive fire affecting all the

Earth sign things like Farming, food production, our

environment, maybe shaking up some EARTHQUAKES with

Uranus still strong in Taurus, but Taurus also rules over our 

MONEY, so pay attention to your accounting, beware of fraud

on your accounts, & there will be even more disruptions for

our financial institutions, pay attention to your RESOURCES

now.  

This Mercury Retrograde makes me think of the Einstein

Quote, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over

and expecting different results.” We’re all being asked to

try a NEW WAY FORWARD for the next 6 months, our old,

outdated patterns aren’t serving us anymore!!!This brings us

beautifully into the Sabian Symbol:

PHASE 29 (ARIES 29°): THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.  

KEYNOTE: Attunement to cosmic order.

A brand new technique is being presented based on experiences implied in the preceding symbols. Now we enter into a new realm of possibilities of action, there’s brand new harmonic principles operating in this brand new realm. The music of the spheres is the celestial embodiment of principles of polyphonic interplay. An individual advancing “on the Path” should seek to understand and realize his place in the vast scheme of mankind’s evolution, in the immense Chord of the harmony of the universe. The message to all seekers of meaning found in this symbol is TO LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE It is the Voice of the Whole, of which one begins to realize that one is a tiny little part – yet a significant part, for every note of the universal Chord has its place and its divine meaning.               

I’m really on a Marianne Williamson kick today but this quote, we all know it, is so fitting for this Eclipse Portal! “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

2 Herbal Allies that I promised for this Eclipse Portal are 

RAVENSARA & TULSI or Holy Basil

Ravensara is the most protective herb on the planet & we will all need protection from the crazy, I think of Ravensara as a golden dome of high vibrational energy that keeps out viruses, toxic emotions, as a healer I depend on this oil the most in sessions to keep me clear of taking on other people’s stuff…. It also protects against Viruses & bacterial infections that seem to be running rampant right now. Ravensara reduces anxiety, helps you sleep better when you annoint your feet with it before bed. Ravensara dispells negativity & evil, malefic entities, it is a powerful SPACE Cleaning oil when diffused in a room. What I really love about Ravensara for these times is that It can clear your mind and help you focus on higher, magical new moon intentions & life purposes, it helps you step into being something MORE, to fulfill your SOUL”S PURPOSE on the planet! 

honestly, after 24 years of doing Massage Therapy, Ravensara may be the most POWERFUL Essential Oil I’ve ever encountered & I source my Ravensara from a small harvest company in Canada, it’s all organic & ethically harvested & I usually only sell it to my clients & Reiki students, but it’s just so important for these times, I am going to sell some bottles here, I feel like this Ravensara medicine wants to reach more people this season, I will link in description…

Holy Basil also known as TULSI is my other fave for this Eclipse, it’s a sacred plant in India, known as the ELIXIR of LIFE, I love to grow it in the Spring, so my seeds of intention will probably be planted as Holy Basil seeds, it also protects us & gives us a keen focus to transcend whatever chaos is going on & know our MISSION in life & how to proceed. Grown in your yard, it will protect your home & family. It’s a powerful adaptogen & helps us recover from stress, difficult situations & burnout, be sure to stock you apothecary with this one this season!

This Solar Eclipse in Aries also brings to mind the WOLVERINE that we have showing up here n Oregon, getting closer & closer to my house, the Wolverine is such a fierce creature it should invoke a healthy amount of FEAR …. Whenever an animal shows up for me, if I encounter it in the woods or in the news, I love to turn to a website called “What’s Your Sign,” I will link below.

AVA says, “Wolverine’s meaning is bold and in your face with fierce confidence, wildly intense energy & unpredictable, mischievious Behavior, the Wolverine will NOT BACK DOWN, it will stand it’s ground, just like Tom Petty.

The wolverine does what it has to do to live, eat, survive and maintain homeostasis. Wolverine teaches us is to accept our WILD nature & refuse to be tamed. If you struggle with your dark side – the wolverine will help you love your shadows. If you have had a hard childhood, a hard life..if you have had to scratch and claw for survival or equality you might resonate with this WARRIOR wolverine energy that is coming in this Eclipse but it’s also a warning to beware of the primal energy that may be lurking nearby, lock your doors….

Stay Safe, Stay focused, you got this!!!

I’ll see you on the other side as the next report will be that SCORPIO LUNAR ECLIPSE falling right on my stellium of 5 planets in Scorpio, but I’m not nervous, it’s fine, it’ll be fine, We WILL SURVIVE, right?
