The New Moon Solar Eclipse in the sign of Aries will occur on April 8th, 2024, unlocking new methods to level up and get back to what we want.

Journaling can assist in building a solid foundation for months to come while we deal with the transitions. You are here to shed something from the past to sow the seeds for new beginnings.
On the 9th, the Moon enters Taurus, encouraging us to merge with our heart's desires. The Moon will remain in this sign until Wednesday, April 10, as our communication heightens with the Moon entering the sign of Gemini on the 11th.
Taurus is a friendly reminder to reconnect with our value system and to be more aware of the love we incorporate into our lives. Find ways to channel more of the Venusian energy and to get more motivated to socialize with friends and/or family.
Having the Moon in Cancer close out the week on the 14th helps us feel rooted at home. Things begin to slow down after the potent effects of the eclipse. The perfect day to wind down, relax, cook something fun, and settle into the comfort of home with the people we love.
