word of the day: umbraphile. “shadow lover”, a person who chases eclipses.
eclipses are the unpredictable wildcards in astrology. most astrologers advise not to manifest or set intentions during eclipse season, best to lay low and lean into self-care, so that you can make space for what comes up. save any actions for may, once more is revealed.
“the april 8 eclipse could initiate an awe-inspiring personal development, a global event or scientific breakthrough.” - astrostyle. read more eclipse predictions by the astrotwins here.
“for some, this solar eclipse could feel like an internal tug-of-war, as it’s tough to bid farewell to comfort zones that keep us in familiar territory. what does that uphill battle look like for you? it’s not about following someone else’s playbook; it’s about blending your unique essence with what you need to heal. if running isn’t your thing, why join a running club to get active? find independence in your healing journey and allow yourself to be impulsively inspired. when you quiet the noise and listen to your inner voice, what propels that change? can you infuse a bit of playfulness into your actions, embodying the bold aries spirit as you charge ahead confidently? this solar eclipse encourages self-discovery through personalized action, so trust your own path rather than someone else’s.” - w magazine. read more for your sign here.

astrolger, susan miller also adds, “this new moon will encourage entrepreneurial action. saturn will be very close to mars, so you will proceed slowly and with great care nd caution. mars will also be sextile to jupiter and uranus, offering abundant opportunity and lucky breaks. you won’t see an eclipse like this again, until 2044.” - astrologyzone.
ncaa men’s basketball championship game tonight, uconn vs purdue. uconn is going for back-to-back wins. the last time this was achieved, was by florida during the SAME eclipse series (go huskies! #mixforsix). think back to 2005/2006 - what was going on in your own life then? similar themes may arise.
your weekly horoscope
“the final week of eclipse season has arrived, cosmic beings. on april 8, a total solar eclipse new moon in aries takes over the skies and transforms life as we know it. yes, life is a series of constant transformations, but since aries is the first sign of the zodiac, all zodiac signs can tell that we’ve embarked on a bold new chapter. much of this fresh start will unfold over the course of the next six weeks, so there’s no need to rush to an imaginary (and often changing) finish line, but if you feel called to take a step in a more impactful or productive direction this week, listen to that call, and take that initial step. then take another” - refinery29. read for your sign here.
