Solar Eclipse in ARIES - HEALING OFFERING
Monday, April 8 1:30pm - 2:45pm
On Monday, April 8 1:45pm to 4:20pm EDT we will have a new moon solar eclipse in Aries. Many cultures have different ideas about solar eclipses and traditions during this time. During this time, Judy would like to create a sacred time to be still, let go and heal deep within. This particular eclipse will have the impact of Chiron which may bring in opportunities to heal the wounded warrior and inner trauma or pains. Let’s leverage this opportunity to heal and bring light to our inner self, our sacred home and immediate environment to help (re)build courage and inner strength.
Are Solar Eclipse auspicious?
“According to the late Lama Zopa Rinpoche with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, both lunar and solar eclipses are auspicious days for spiritual practice. He has said that the merit — which represents the positive karmic results of good intentions and actions — generated on lunar eclipses is multiplied by 700,000 and on solar eclipses by 100 million. Some of the recommended spiritual activities on these days include chanting mantras and sutras.”
“Hindus generally regard a solar or lunar eclipse as a bad omen. Some observe fasts before and many do not eat during the period of the eclipse. Observant Hindus ritually bathe to cleanse themselves during the first and final phases of an eclipse. Some also offer prayers to ancestors. Most temples are closed for the duration of the eclipse. Devotees gather for prayers along pilgrimage sites near holy rivers during the onset of an eclipse. The event is considered to be a good time for prayer, meditation and chanting of mantras — all believed to ward off evil.”

When and where is the Solar Eclipse going to happen?
“April started out with a Mercury retrograde in Aries, and just when you thought the month’s astrology couldn’t get any more intense, a new moon solar eclipse in Aries will darken the skies on April 8, 2024, at 2:21 p.m. EDT. While this is the first total solar eclipse to pass over the United States since 2017, it’s the second solar eclipse in Aries in the past year, continuing a storyline that began with the Aries new moon solar eclipse on April 20, 2023.”
What is special about this solar eclipse in Aries in April 2024?
“The April 2024 new moon solar eclipse in Aries brings with it a distinct theme of healing. When it arrives, the sun and moon will sit right next to Chiron, an asteroid that symbolizes our deepest wounds, pains, triggers, and default coping mechanisms—but also, the progress we’ve made on our healing journey and our potential to help and heal others.”
