Solar Eclipse in Aries, Mercury Retrograde, Conjunct Uranus 4.19.2023

The sun gives us life,

but is she stable?

Electromagnetic tantrums fling from her hips.

If she doesn’t have to be stable,

then why do we expect ourselves to be?

This is the first of a new series of

North Node eclipses in Aries,

and the Aries North Node is here to initiate us into the next phase of our growth.

Aries isn’t asking us to wrap up our past in a tidy little bow.

Your anxiety, your fears, your wounds-

They are part of the legacy of your story.

If you are to emerge the victorious warrior,

then why not own the scars?

Skin bleeds, but then it hardens.

Scabs turn to scars,

reminding us that we are blessed to have these temporal bodies in the first place.

We are moving on now.

Although these stories are imprinted in the blueprint of your soul,

imprinted on flesh,

they do not define you.

You get to choose who you want to be today.

Change doesn’t have to be stable.

You can stretch yourself,

each step of the way reminding your mind,

“I am safe.” “I am safe.” “I am safe.”

If you feel uprooted, perhaps unstable at times,

remind yourself that the Sun does it all the time.

Unleash your wild, electromagnetic storms upon this world.

Dissolve into the flames

and be born anew.
