APRIL 20TH, 2023 - NEW MOON 🌑 SOLAR ECLIPSE IN ARIES ♈️
At the edge of new beginnings
Over the past two years, we've experienced eclipses on the Scorpio-Taurus axis, which brought both destruction and opportunities to create new areas of security and roots in our lives. Now, the upcoming solar eclipse series on the Aries-Libra axis is poised to bring about significant changes in our personal and collective lives: we will be starting from scratch and experiencing fateful turns in all kinds of relationships.
On a collective level, these eclipses will likely lead to serious changes in the governance of countries, events that concern leaders, and new alliances between nations. Moreover, there could be exciting developments in transportation, law, communication, and information systems.
From a personal perspective, this eclipse series provides an opportunity to reflect on our past choices and consider where we want to be in the future. Those with special talents will find this period particularly fruitful for developing their skills. It's worth noting that the series begins at a cramped degree, so the initial changes may be somewhat challenging to navigate.
However, with the influence of Jupiter, anything we touch in our lives has the potential to grow and expand. Job opportunities, projects, and personal growth are all possible during this time. There may also be exciting prospects for education, finance, and travel. It's important to pace ourselves, though.
Also, it's worth noting that between April 21 and May 15, Mercury will retrograde in Taurus. This could lead to delays in payments and financial decisions. It's important to be especially cautious when shopping online during this period.
Let’s take a closer look at what this full moon in Libra means for your astrological sign:
Aries ♈️
Dear Aries, this upcoming eclipse marks a significant turning point for you in terms of new beginnings and self-discovery. You are now entering a phase where opportunities for growth and progress in relationships, career, and family matters will abound. Despite the possible obstacles posed by Saturn's influence in your 12th house, you are still firmly in control of your own destiny. If you are looking to start your own business, now is an excellent time to do so, as the stars are aligned in your favor.
Additionally, your financial prospects look bright, and you can expect to reap the rewards of your hard work during the summer months. In terms of love and relationships, you are about to embark on a fateful journey that promises to bring exciting new experiences and opportunities for growth.
Embrace this new chapter in your life with confidence and optimism, knowing that the universe is conspiring in your favor.
Taurus ♉️
Dear Taurus, this eclipse will bring profound changes to your subconscious and hidden aspects of your life.
Over the next two years, new beginnings may arise that are beyond your control. However, with Uranus transiting through your ascendant sign, you will feel ready to break free from your comfort zone and embrace a more individualistic lifestyle. This is a great opportunity to explore new places and experiences that will enrich your inner world.
However, it's important to be cautious with your spending, as the hard aspect between Venus and Saturn at the time of the eclipse suggests that you should make serious financial plans for the future. Take this time to reassess your budget and make sound financial decisions that will benefit you in the long run. With the right mindset and a proactive approach, you can navigate these changes with grace and emerge stronger and more empowered than ever before.
Gemini ♊️
Dear Gemini, the upcoming eclipse is set to take place in your home for networks, group work, social space, new job opportunities, and future aspirations. Fortunately, you'll be experiencing supportive influences during this time. However, you may come across some crossroads if you wish to transition to a completely different business or social environment. As your responsibilities increase in your career, you may find yourself having to compromise on some of the things that bring you and your loved ones joy.
On the monetary front, you are highly prudent with your spending and may even begin to focus on saving.
Cancer ♋️
Dear Cancer, this eclipse will be occurring in your career and social status area. Many of you will experience career advancement during this time, with the potential to land better positions or even start your own business. However, it is crucial that you pay attention to any legal issues that may arise.
Be mindful of unexpected expenses that may come your way, as they could potentially throw off your financial plans. This eclipse may also bring about new opportunities for career-oriented education or advancements in the academic field. As a result, your perspective on life may broaden and your horizons will expand.
Overall, you are fortunate to be surrounded by positive energies during this period.
Leo ♌️
Dear Leos, the upcoming eclipse brings forth the potential for significant developments in your life, particularly in areas related to studying abroad, academic pursuits, and publishing. While you may feel the urge to pursue new ventures independently, it's crucial to prioritize sorting out your relationships and financial obligations.
This is an opportune time to consider expanding your horizons and moving abroad to pursue foreign-related commercial activities. However, it's important to exercise patience and wait for conditions to mature before making any major decisions.
In addition to these potential changes, there may also be exciting innovations in your career life. Remain open to new opportunities and keep an eye out for chances to advance your professional journey.

Moreover, your relationships may have undergone a period of testing with the influence of Saturn, but you can now reap the rewards of this period of growth. It's crucial to set clear boundaries in your relationships and ensure that they align with your values and goals.
Looking ahead, the coming years hold promise for innovation and progress through your relationships. However, it's important to exercise patience and wait for the right conditions to manifest.
Overall, this is a time of great potential for partnerships and collaboration. Keep your priorities and values in mind as you navigate these opportunities, and you'll be well on your way toward fulfilling your goals.

Scorpio ♏️
Dear Scorpio, the upcoming eclipse has the potential to bring about innovative opportunities related to your health, daily routines, and work conditions. However, over the next two years, there may be conditions in your life that are beyond your control. This means that it's crucial to establish new balances in your daily life and relationships to navigate any unexpected challenges that may arise.
In terms of your career, job opportunities may bring about better earnings and promotions. It's important to remain open to new opportunities and be proactive in seeking out chances to advance your professional journey.

Rituals to Celebrate a New Moon Eclipse
New moon eclipses bring new opportunities and circumstances into our lives. These powerful events offer a two-week window of time, during which we can meet new people, pursue new hobbies and projects, and set our intentions for the life changes we desire.
To enhance your new moon eclipse experience, try incorporating one or both of these powerful rituals. For an extra boost of energy, combine the two for an unforgettable and transformative experience.
Candle Magic Ritual
Choose a candle color that resonates with your intentions, or opt for the versatile and powerful white candle.
Next, write down three new things you'd like to attract into your life during this moon cycle. This can include anything from a new job to a relationship or a new apartment. Craft an affirmation that aligns with these intentions, such as "I joyfully and easily manifest $5,000 a month from my photography business."
Prepare your candle by carving your name and affirmation into it, and adding fragrance oil or glitter if desired. Recite your affirmation three times as you light the candle, and take a few moments to vividly imagine yourself living your dream life.
Repeat steps four and five every day until the candle burns out on its own, and watch the magic unfold. This simple but powerful ritual can help you manifest your deepest desires and achieve your goals.
Crystal Grid Ritual
Gather one beautiful piece of moonstone and four clear quartz crystals along with a crystal grid. Remember, the moonstone should be larger than the clear quartz crystals as it is the focal point for storing your intentions, while the quartz amplifies them.
Begin by writing down one clear and concise intention that you want to manifest during this moon cycle. For example, "I am attracting abundance and prosperity in all areas of my life."
Next, place the moonstone in the center of the grid and surround it with clear quartz crystals in a symmetrical pattern.
Take a moment to close your eyes and visualize your intention as if it has already manifested. Feel the joy and gratitude in your heart as if it has already happened.
Now, hold the moonstone in your hand and speak your intention into it three times. Then place it back in the center of the grid.
Finally, use your fingers to trace an imaginary line connecting all the crystals in the grid. This infuses the grid with your intention. Repeat this step regularly until your intention is fully manifested. You can also cleanse the crystals weekly with sage to keep the grid fresh.
Now sit back, relax, and watch the magic unfold as your desires manifest with the help of your powerful crystal grid!
