The Aries eclipse season is one of the most powerful astrological periods of the year, and it takes place every year between March and April. During this season, the Sun moves through Aries, and we experience two eclipses, which are usually separated by about two weeks. The first eclipse of the Aries season is a lunar eclipse, followed by a solar eclipse two weeks later.

Eclipses occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned in a specific way, causing the light of the Sun to be blocked by the Moon or the Earth. This alignment creates a powerful energy shift that affects us on both a personal and a collective level. Eclipses are known to be times of significant change, as they bring to the surface hidden emotions, patterns, and issues that need to be addressed.

The Aries eclipse season is particularly significant because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and represents new beginnings, leadership, and taking action. The energy of Aries is all about initiating change, being bold, and following your passions. During the Aries eclipse season, this energy is amplified, and we are called to step up and take action in our lives.

The season of eclipses presents an opportune time to progress along your nodal path by releasing the influence of your South Node and embracing the energies of your North Node. This season is marked by powerful revelations that can shift your perspective and break your attachments. To fully experience the benefits of this time, be receptive to downloads of energetic information and insights that come your way. Although some revelations may be initially surprising, they will ultimately aid in your transformation. As you navigate this season, remember to prioritize self-care and connect with nature to ground yourself during any tumultuous moments.

The lunar nodes are points where the Moon's orbit intersects with the ecliptic, which is the apparent path of the Sun in the sky. The North Node and South Node are two opposite points on this intersection line. In astrology, the lunar nodes represent karmic lessons, soul growth, and evolution.During the eclipse season, the Sun, Moon, and Earth align in such a way that the lunar nodes are activated, causing a solar or lunar eclipse. This occurs when a New Moon or Full Moon is close enough to the lunar nodes. When the Moon is in between the Sun and Earth during a New Moon, a solar eclipse happens, and when the Earth is between the Sun and Moon during a Full Moon, a lunar eclipse occurs.

The energy of the lunar nodes is thought to be amplified during the eclipse season, making it a powerful time for personal and collective growth. The North Node is associated with the direction and lessons that we need to move towards, while the South Node represents what we need to let go of or move away from. In this Aries Season, the North Node is in the sign of Taurus, while the South Node is in Scorpio. The solar eclipse in Aries is occurring close enough to the North Node, which is currently in Taurus, for it to be activated. This means that the energies of the North Node and the eclipse are combined, offering an opportunity for significant growth and evolution.

In astrology, the nodes of the moon represent a karmic axis that highlights where we've been and where we're headed in our spiritual evolution. The North Node represents our future path, and the South Node represents our past. When the nodes are in Taurus and Scorpio, they are said to be in the signs of their rulership, which can add extra potency to their spiritual meanings.

The North Node in Taurus suggests a shift towards finding greater meaning and fulfillment in material and sensual pleasures. This may involve connecting more deeply with nature, taking time to savor the simple things in life, and cultivating a deeper sense of gratitude for the abundance that surrounds us. The emphasis is on grounding and embodiment, learning to fully inhabit our bodies and appreciate the sensory experiences of the physical world. This can be a powerful time to focus on self-care, nurturing relationships, and building a more stable and secure foundation for our lives.

The South Node in Scorpio, on the other hand, suggests a need to release and let go of old patterns related to power, control, and intensity. Scorpio is a sign of transformation, but it can also be associated with obsession, jealousy, and manipulation. With the South Node in this sign, we may be asked to confront our shadow side and work on releasing any toxic or destructive behaviors that are holding us back. This can be a challenging process, but ultimately it can lead to greater freedom, empowerment, and spiritual growth.

Overall, the Taurus-Scorpio axis encourages us to find a balance between our physical and spiritual needs, and to recognize that our material experiences are intimately connected to our spiritual growth. 

During Eclipse Season, you have the opportunity to take significant steps towards your nodal path. Specifically, theAries Solar Eclipse on April 19th marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. This is the perfect time to embrace the energies of the North Node in Taurus and Aries, both collectively and personally. To do this, it may be helpful to connect with nature or prioritize your soul’s mission. Take time to reflect on how the highest vibrations of Taurus and Aries can integrate into your personal North Node to help you achieve your potential.

The Scorpio Lunar Eclipse on May 5th brings a powerful opportunity to release any attachments to your South Nodal energies or lower vibrations of Scorpio. Through this eclipse, you can dive deep into shadow work to bring the unconscious into the conscious. Scorpio’s intense energy allows you to understand that what is hidden beneath the surface can still control you, even if you are not aware of it. Remember, any transformation that may occur during this time has the potential to open the door to your highest energetic potential, even if it is uncomfortable initially.

Embrace this Eclipse Season as a time of change and growth. Be open to the Universe revealing information and energy to you. Ground yourself by spending time in nature and taking care of your nervous system during any chaotic times. Trust in your journey and know that the Universe is here to support you.
