Eclipses have dazzled and mostly terrified humans since the first time we looked up and experienced this phenomenon. But, eclipses are a very, very important part of the overall cycles of Light and ShadowWeRK.
It's pretty Magical that when The Sun, The Moon, and The Earth line up they are perfectly sized to block each other out. This gives us the opportunity to be fully disconnected from these energies throughout the cycle. And, it's so important for us to remember the value of being disconnected.
Eclipses also show us the value of chaos and change. That's what Eclipses bring too. They invite in the strangest changes and the most disruptive chaos. The remove the stuckness and the blocks that we often don't even see until the GTFO of our way.
Eclipse energy is unpredictable and unreliable so it's best to try to avoid their beams. This is not a time for Magic or putting your self out there. Instead, stay out of their way and use this time to go deep within.

Luckily we're gonna get a chance to peek inside this Eclipse Portal on 04/19/2023 when this first hybrid eclipse happens at 29º50' of Aries.
Aries is the sign of initiation, passion, action & protection. It wants everyone to be safe and allowed to be whatever they want to be. Its Shadow is being impatient, reactionary, self-obsessed, and impulsive. Its strengths are bravery, strength, vulnerability, and an immeasurable love for those who need help.
Libra is the sign of relating, balance, justice, beauty, and art. It wants everyone to be surrounded by beauty, love, and luxury AND it hates anything that's sideways or irregular. Its Shadow is being a perfectionist, too materialistic, passive (or even passive-aggressive), co-dependent, and obsessed with other people's business.
The dualities of these two Signs will be what's up for us, both individually and collectively. The best way for you to prepare is to look at all the ways you're dealing with your inner dualities in this part of your chart.
This is why it's so important to consider the Houses that hold your Aries/Libra energy. That's where you'll find the nuances & subtle ways this cycle will connect to you and your life.
