About the Solar Eclipse in Aries
I have watched a dozen channelers and astrologers, so you don't have to!
Howdy Kumquats!
How’s everyone doing out there?
I’m going to try to stay in touch now that the seal has been broken! That whole ayahuasca journey was a lot for me to share, let alone experience! LOL. Sharing my writing is a very vulnerable thing. If you haven’t caught up, it was a wild journey, laid out in 5 essays you can find here—
Prologue, The What, The How, The Why, Closing Words & Back Story.
During, and since, that ceremony weekend— I keep being nudged to action by my Spirit Posse to be more of a leader. They let me know that I can help other people who are waking up right now, which happens in many stages and layers.
While we aren’t ever really done with this process, I’ve gone at it pretty hard, bushwhacking along the spiritual path for many years, due to my life circumstances— which are always blessings in disguise. They say (and I feel) that I’m pretty far down the path but I need many more with me, if we are making The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible (invoking Charles Eisenstein’s book again, which lays our mission out quite plainly).
Today, I want say a few things about how you can work with the Eclipse energy on Monday and share what I will be doing.
About the Solar Eclipse in Aries
I have watched a dozen channelers and astrologers, so you don't have to!
I’m caught up on many of my favorite astrologers’ and channelers’ videos about what this Eclipse means and how to navigate. I thought I’d give a little report of what I gleaned from their combined wisdom.
If you are new to using astrology in your life, but are curious— let me just say, don’t get frustrated. It took me many years to understand it in a practical way, because it’s a moving system where everything has to be viewed in relation to everything else— planets and constellations have relationships that are experienced as energy. I mainly focus on Western astrology, but do follow 2-3 Vedic astrologers and am wading out towards learning that system next.
Understanding and being able to FEEL astrology moving in my life, slowly happened over time. These were subtle muscles of perception that work crudely at first, until you grow your sensitivity— we are learning how to FEEL energy. It’s there, we’ve just been asleep to it.
Why am I saying all this?
Because astrology played a significant part in me waking up my intuition, which is why I can have faith in the larger cycles and keep alchemizing one challenge after another. These are very useful muscles, I want more people that know how to use them!
The single question that got me into astrology in the first place is this—
If the location of the moon alone effects the tides of all the oceans on Earth, how could it be possible that we aren’t effected by every other planet in our solar system, too?
If you already know this stuff, I’m giving you words that you can use to explain esoteric things to your friends, peers or family too. This stuff is hard to put into words.
Each one, lift one.
As we know, most of the culture is still operating from the materialistic, extractive, masculine, left brain thinking— outlined by Sir Iain McGilchrist (in The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World)— which we are leaving behind.
The separation has been maintained through a big old illusion by the owners / controllers / powers-that-were— which we HAD been using our free will to maintain for them for hundreds of years, but are waking up now.
No more.
We are getting closer to One-ness, which means— everything in balance. We are tasked with uniting the masculine / feminine (aka solar /lunar or giving / receiving) division within ourselves. Getting this way of being online in your life, while still living in the world, is very tricky.
Astrology is not linear, which is how the over culture taught us to be. We are unlearning linear ways of thinking, in order to expand and understand our multiplicity. We are many things at once, and so is everything else. The fact that we have the entire zodiac wheel inside of us, by virtue of the Houses in astrology, points to this. We are everyone else. We are all of it.
As within, so without. It’s very literal.
We have to try to understand ourselves first— which could take a lifetime! Hopefully not though, I really want that More Beautiful World sooner rather than later!
All that said, we want to—
Open to the idea that everything effects everything else.
Put our mind in the back seat.
Be open and receptive while you run everything through the filter of your feeling and intuition. Does it resonate with you? What are your resistances? Is it old programming? Address your resistances, face them.
Research what is happening in the sky, take notes, try to understand which house / area of your life this event effects. Why? Becasue it’s helpful to know you’re going to need a raincoat if the astrological weather is calling for rain.
Sit with it all.
Come up with a plan to acknowledge what you have absorbed— it’s not enough to know in our mind, we have to feel it to be true and then take action— it has to be applied if you want your perception to come online.
The HOW you do it is up to you.
Some Nuggets About
The Aries Solar Eclipse on April 8
I watched the energy updates from Amanda Ellis, Pam Gregory, Lee Harris, Ananda Shree, Daniel Scranton, Metatron is Speaking, Molly McCord, Jeff Harman and Moon Omens— this is my combined impression. Check them out yourself if you’re curious.
Everyone of these folks is clear on the fact that: WE ARE IN AN ASCENSION PHASE.
Our consciousness is leveling up. Remember to think of consciousness like electricity— if we’re putting a washing machine into an old house, we need to upgrade the electrical system to step up our voltage. The housing (your body) has to be ready to receive that energy.
The main way we get our body ready to receive is turn off our minds and do our spiritual / self care practices.
These folks are all also very clear that life feels really weird right now. You are not alone, it’s what is happening.
In order to level up for more light, we have to purge all the dark crap. It kind of squeezes us into a vice— we have to release this old fear, anger, hurt, karma, trauma, ancestral wounds— or we feel like we could pop. It’s more dramatic for some, more bittersweet for others— but everyone is purging. This is the eye of the needle.
The few channelers who addressed what the owners are doing, said to literally laugh at them—they are like villains playing a role in a pantomime. They are going to try their “cunning schemes” but when we stop believing them, they lose power and their sad little plans fall apart. Extend your energy to the good.
The asteroid Chiron plays a role in this eclipse energy soup. The wounded hero and teacher of Greek Mythology, is showing up to call attention to our life wound— and we all have one. That wound is the sickness and the remedy— it’s both. Have we done the work to heal it? That pain gave us great wisdom. It’s a blessing, find it.
Stop watching the news. You might think you are being neutral, but you are not. Your thoughts and focus being placed on what is going wrong in the world— grows more of what is wrong in the world. Protect what you feed yourself, especially while we are moving through the eye of the needle. If it makes you feel icky, stop doing it.
Many videos addressed the need to observe stillness during the eclipse. Take a pause. The birds and animals are silent, the world stops, the sun gets a reset— be in reverence.
The eclipse can be an amplifier. If you are in fear, you will amplify fear. If you are in peace, you will amplify peace. Do what it takes to get your emotions to the place you WANT to be, don’t give in to despair or worry. Lift up!
It’s a good time to ask a deep question about your life.
Also a good time to say 3 prayers— one for yourself, one for your family / community and one for the world.
It’s a good time to drum and chant— not pop songs though, use old mantras or spiritual songs. You can drum to help the sun be victorious over the dark!
You can send peace and love out over the whole eclipse path.
Many folks said we need to dream big right now, don’t believe the world is how we see it. Front burner your dreams and don’t hold yourself back. Cultivate the feeling of how fun it will be to have your dreams come true.
Reach with your senses to FEEL the powerful energy the sun brings as it re-emerges from behind the moon. Strong revitalizing energy will be there, reach for it.
So, I’ve sat with all of this—and I’m going to take a mostly yogic approach to the Eclipse. That’s my main lineage and I like to lean into the ancient stuff.
Here’s My Eclipse Plan
I’m going to really take good care of myself this weekend so that my body, mind and spirit is in a peaceful, happy place on Monday.
I’ve already done a lot of journaling this week about my dreams, taking an inventory of what I’ve been healing, how those wounds feel, etc.
I’m going to fast Sunday night— Monday night.
I’m going to remain indoors and sit at my altar.
I’m going to be in my little ritual coccoon for about 90 minutes— from about 11:00am- 12:30pm in California.
I’m going to meditate and move my body for 30 min each.
I’m going to chant the mantra So Hum for a 30 minute window too. So Hum translates to “I AM THAT” and speaks to one-ness, declaring that I am part of all that is.
And I’m going to ask a question about my life then say a prayer for myself, for my community and for the world.
I’m going to pay close attention to synchronicities that happen in my life for at least a week afterwards. Paying attention to how things show up for you is part of how we see the ripple effect of the energy.
I hope you enjoyed today’s esoteric download and that it helps you re-enchant your life with magic and wonder.

Have a meaningful eclipse, everybody.
Ever Onward,
Trixie
I feel this Eclipse is a moment of transformation, and being born again into a universe of love and beautiful energy.
I hear some "powers-that-were" have plans for the Eclipse as well, but I have faith that love will prevail and the energy of this will strengthen that.
I too plan on taking care of my body with food, fasting, meditating, and sending prayers of love and peace during the Eclipse
And releasing my fears of not only being seen as a healer, but not feeling good enough to BE a healer
Many sweet blessings to you!! 🤍
