The astrological transit making global headlines is the solar eclipse on April 8th. Not coincidentally, the New Moon in Aries occurs on the same day, so buckle up. It will be an adventurous journey.
A lunar eclipse occurred during the Libra Full Moon in March, so you may already be feeling the energy of eclipse season. Communication will be unstable, many people will feel bad, and unexpected problems may arise. Use this time to remind yourself that life comes in cycles, and there are times when things are going well and other times when you feel like you’re going downhill. Every stage of the life cycle is necessary and essential. So don’t resist this wave. Free ride, learn from it, and level up.
The new moon swoops in, giving you space to make things happen in your life. Despite eclipse season and Mercury retrograde (which begins on April 2nd and continues until April 25th), you can still set intentions to make things happen in your life.
What is the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun and casts a shadow on Earth. This epic astrological transit will cross North America, passing through Mexico, the United States, and Canada. People all over the world are anticipating this great event, and some are bracing for it. According to the report, states where totality is underway or areas experiencing the most severe periods of darkness may experience problems with cell phones and other technology.
Areas such as New York City are working with other states to prepare for expected large crowds. This is not the first time. The solar eclipse that occurred in 2017 also attracted huge numbers of people, with some areas seeing their population increase by 100% in the days leading up to and during the eclipse.
What is the spiritual meaning of the 2024 solar eclipse?
On TikTok, there are many different perspectives on the spiritual meaning of the solar eclipse. Some warn that this is a time of historic change, both individually and collectively, while others advise us to embrace the energy and recognize our connection to the universe.
For centuries, indigenous peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean have worked closely with the moon and sun, preparing community rituals and celebrations around solar eclipses. It was believed to be the best time to perform purification rituals symbolizing rebirth.
Some people think it’s best to refrain from starting new projects or making impulsive decisions during a solar eclipse. The new moon gives you space to make new things happen, but don’t stop before you start anything.
How to prepare for the 2024 solar eclipse
Preparing for a solar eclipse can be a spiritual ritual in itself. Maybe you’re inviting people into your home for an eclipse Reiki healing circle or meditation. Spiritual activities during this period are wonderful. Give yourself permission to reflect. Viewing the solar eclipse without wearing safety glasses is not recommended. Why not participate in a solar eclipse meditation where the moon covers the sun?
Journaling during a solar eclipse is also powerful. It won’t happen again in North America until 2033, so I’ll record it this time.

What does the Aries new moon mean in 2024?
Aries is the fiery beginning of the zodiac. It means the beginning of something new. As spring flowers begin to bloom and trees sprout new leaves, Aries energy flows powerfully through the Earth and us. This Fire sign is self-focused and discovering new things about who you are and why you are here.
Aries also gives powerful vibrations of courage and independence, so if that’s what’s missing in your life, wish for it under this new moon. The first zodiac sign governs our warrior nature, which includes leadership, strength, and boldness in our lives. Now is no time to hide in the shadows. Instead, Aries inspires us to have the courage to step into the spotlight of our lives and be authentically and unapologetically ourselves.
If the Aries fire lives within you and causes impulsive behavior, impatience, and even anger, you can hope to temper this heat. During this New Moon, ask for help in increasing your patience and not isolating yourself from others.
Parts of the body ruled by Aries include the eyes, head, face, scalp, and brain. Those who suffer from headaches, dizziness, acne, etc. can pray for their health to recover.

April’s Aries New Moon Spiritual Bath Recipe
Herbs of basil, nettle and mugwort
Bloodstone, Red Jasper, Citrine Crystals
rose and sweet orange essential oil
- To prepare for the eclipse, we highly recommend doing some spring cleaning at home before preparing for this ritual. Put things off and sweep or mop the floor. Clean your windows and let in some spring sunshine. Clear out the trash that has accumulated over the winter. Feel the new energy created by doing this.
- Now that your space is physically cleansed, you can begin spiritually cleansing it with sage, and then with palo santo. Pay close attention to the corners of the ceiling, where a lot of energy is stored over time, and do not forget to let the divine smoke waft around the space. And don’t forget about yourself. Let the smoke waft around your body from your feet to your head and appreciate its healing properties.
- Next, fill your bathtub with hot water and add 1 cup of sea salt and 1 cup of pink Himalayan salt. Mix it with your hands and think about your wishes and intentions behind Shingetsu Bano while doing so.
- Add a few drops of Florida Water to your bath and appreciate the healing properties of spiritual cologne.
- Next, add some of the herbs you are using to the bath. Mix again by hand. Inhale deeply and thank your earthly companions for their spiritual importance in your life.
- Add a few drops of essential oil and mix by hand. Sing, pray, and express your gratitude.
- Get candles, crystals, and vases for flowers. Create an Aries New Moon Altar to show the energy you are putting into yourself during this period. Light a candle, intuitively place crystals around it, and place flowers in a vase. Close your eyes and convey your thoughts and intentions to the altar.
- Soak in the bath for 20 to 40 minutes, becoming aware of your breathing and breathing in the beautiful scents of renewal and renewal.
