🔥 Wishing Under a Solar Eclipse: a Blessing or a Curse?...🌑✨

Astrologers differ on their opinions regarding whether new moon wishes should be made under solar eclipses.

I started off on the 'modern' side, where we belief that solar eclipses are super-charged new moons so their power of manifestation is even greater, therefore, take advantage of it!

However, when I began to dabble into traditional astrology, I found the opposite.  It's because the power is so highly charged that we mortals should not get involved in it.  This practice is also echoed in Chinese astrology, where solar eclipses are described as 'Heavenly dogs eating the sun', though this is specifically referring to total solar eclipses.

With this in mind, and my past experience of casting wishes under solar eclipses, I have now decided NOT to make wishes under solar eclipses, especially when it is a total solar eclipse.

The solar eclipse in Aries on 29th March 2025 is a partial one.  I guess if you are up for some transformational changes in your life, you can take advantage of this highly charged time to reset your system.  For those who do not adapt well to changes, perhaps give this one a miss, there will always be another new moon next month.  

Solar Eclipse in Aries 2024

Just hopping on the wagon, commenting on the upcoming solar eclipse in Aries.  

I'll be short and sweet, as I'll only be looking at one major aspect plus the ruling planet of this eclipse.

The solar eclipse in Aries on 8th April 2024 19:20 BST (9th April 2024 02:20 HK time) will intensely affect those with planets in Aries at 19 degrees 24 minutes.  Other planets in cardinal signs (Libra, Cancer and Capricorn) also need to watch out too.  

Solar eclipse conjunct Chiron:  

Issues of wounds, especially psychological ones, are likely to surface right in your face, forcing you to at least acknowledge their existence.  With Mercury still in retrograde (also in Aries), I would be inclined to say that be introspective and low-key about it.  It is YOUR problem, no need to share it with the world.  Deal with the healing without flaunting it in other people's faces.  

Mars, the ruling planet:

Mars, being the ruling planet of Aries, rules this solar eclipse.  Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces.  Fight your issues compassionately.  Deal with your wounds with maturity.  Be a realistic warrior and work on your problems with kindness.
