Hold on to your hats and sunglasses because we have officially entered eclipse season. Roughly every six months, the sun, the moon, and the Earth line up in just the right proximity to put us through a short series of new moon and full moon eclipses. We just had our full moon eclipse on March 25 and everyone is talking about the upcoming new moon eclipse on April 8, the totality of which will be experienced by folks from Mexico to Maine. During every eclipse season, we experience transformational changes in hyperdrive. It is a concentrated time of transition where nothing is quite what it seems because the lights are obscured. Taking place across the Libra-Aries axis, we are in the very middle of a two-year cycle of eclipses focused on self and others, independence and interdependence, courage and solidarity. These are the themes that are being re-written for us. Think back to the second half of October 2023 to get a glimpse of the lessons that will be coming up for you now. In the midst of this eclipse season, Venus is forming a friendly 60-degree sextile to independent Uranus, showing us that our relationships can support our liberation and that love can set us free.
Here are your horoscopes for the Venus-Uranus sextile. Read for your rising and sun signs.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Under this sky, it appears that you either love taking time alone or are entertaining a secret romance. There’s a major love in the hidden-places theme. This experience is supporting your financial freedom in some way. Enjoy the time you’re having in your secret place and notice how it is helping you with unconventional money management.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Your friends and comrades are showering their appreciation on you right now, so soak it up. They are encouraging you to be your radical, unique, weird self. Use their admiration to fuel your fire and show everyone what you’re made of. Be free. While you may feel a bit like you’re going off on your own, the only way to form real friendships is by being true to yourself. Trust.
Gemini
May 21 – June 21
You’ve been finding more and more that you feel liberated when you’re alone. For a sign that loves the social life, appreciating alone time is not the easiest feat. Right now, there is kindness and grace being offered to you at work in a way that supports your independence, particularly the independence you experience when you’re isolated from everyone else. Appreciate the support.
Cancer
June 22 – July 22
Are you just loving learning something new or traveling to places you’ve never been? There’s a “new horizons” theme taking place for you and it seems that you’re really falling in love with the unfamiliar. This experience is helping you to make unexpected friendships and to find freedom from any groups of people that are holding you back. Embrace change right now and seek out fellow adventurers.
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
Is there a mission-based project that you are investing in with a group of like-minded people? Or are you enjoying managing some resources that are shared with others? This experience is helping you feel emancipated from the drudgeries of work. Perhaps you are even developing ways to free yourself from the 9-5. You don’t have to do it like everyone else, so see what you come up with.
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Whether you are experiencing romance or just feeling love for a significant person in your life, that feeling is offering an adventure that is radically new. The first step is to accept that the feelings are there; then you can leave the familiar behind and see where the wind takes you. Open yourself up to the vistas that await, and let your love for another be the threshold to cross.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
Routines are not always rote and humdrum. Settling into a regular routine can help to free your mind so it can focus on other things that genuinely interest you. Right now, you are being asked to love the routines and habits that you’ve developed. When you do so, you will free yourself to participate in the group projects you’ve been hoping to get involved with.
Scorpio
Oct. 24 – Nov. 21
You are on a creative high right now, Scorpio. Artistry is flowing through your veins. Let the muse take over and share your unique vision with all of us. By letting your creativity flow forth, you will also manage to support an unconventional relationship in your life. Perhaps you and your partner find new ways of relating, or perhaps you literally free yourself from the relationship. Trust your muse.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
If home is where the heart is, you better be appreciating your time there. Perhaps you’re reconnecting with family or you’re rearranging your home space. Loving your roots is where it is at. As you sit in the deep appreciation for home and family, you will find that your routines are changing to make space for your shifting priorities. Changing your habits can be really good for the soul.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
As you move through your daily business in your local neighborhood, take some time to see how beautiful your familiar surroundings are. Turning your perspective to find the heavens in the wildflowers will spark an unexpected creativity. Independence and freedom are being offered to you in your creative outlets, and your everyday world is the inspiration.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Your source of income is creating unexpected changes in your home life, for the better. If you let your passion be your guide for the ways that you make money, the benefits that you garner will be great. You may free yourself from your family’s oversight or you may find a new home that feels liberating. But first, identify what you love when it comes to paying your way,
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
Self-love is, in many respects, the most important love. As RuPaul says, “If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?” Under this sky, you are being afforded the opportunity to really fall in love with who you are. When you do that, you will find a new freedom in your familiar world. Drop the shackles of despair and appreciate yourself.
