The New Moon in Aries on Apr. 20, 2023, is a solar eclipse, the first eclipse of the year and a rare and intriguing one in several ways.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A solar eclipse occurs usually twice a year when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, and all three bodies are in line. A total eclipse occurs when the Moon completely obscures the light of the Sun. When the Sun and the Moon are exactly in line with Earth, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller, a bright ring of the Sun appears around the Moon, and the eclipse type is called an annular eclipse. A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line with the Earth and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun. This current eclipse in Aries belongs to the extraordinary fourth type of solar eclipses, a hybrid eclipse.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes an eclipse can shift between annular and total. It is called a hybrid eclipse, an extremely rare phenomenon, which will only happen a few times per century. It will happen only <\/span>four more times this century. This annular total solar eclipse is visible in Australia and Indonesia. However, the transition from annular to total and back again occurs at two remote locations at sea.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This hybrid solar eclipse takes place in the last degree of Aries. It is square to Pluto, which recently entered Aquarius. The Moon enters Taurus right after the eclipse and the Sun follows a few hours later. A powerful transformative shift can be expected. Mars is the ruler of Aries and Venus is the ruler of Taurus. The eclipse is in aspect to both planets. It is in quintile to Mars in Cancer and novile to Venus in Gemini.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The quintile (72\u00b0) is generally considered as the aspect of creativity. When we divide the chart circle (360\u00b0) by five we get the quintile. Robert Hand has written about the five-series aspect family: \u201cAll these aspects seem to have a quality that we usually associate with Pluto, with overtones of Venus and Mars.\u201d Dane Rudhyar has described the novile (40\u00b0), which is the division of the circle by nine, like this: \u201cAt the level of the Nine, the individualized person discovers and envisions the meaning and purpose of what he or she is.\u201d According to him, the novile can lead to personal rebirth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each solar eclipse is a member of a particular eclipse family, a Saros series, which has certain characteristics. Each series will run for well over a thousand years and produce a solar eclipse every 18 years. We can study the characteristics of a particular Saros series by delineating its birth chart or by searching similarities between events that have occurred 18 years apart at the time of the eclipses. The word saros means repetition. The current eclipse chart has <\/span>the same distinguishable flavour as the initial eclipse of this Saros in 1103 had.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Saros series is number 7 North. The initial eclipse <\/span>was in Libra opposite Pluto in Aries, and occurred on the Venus\/Mars midpoint. Astrologer Bernadette Brady has delineated it as follows: <\/span><\/span>\u201cA very sensual family of eclipses, ranging from sudden sexual passions and lust to birth and procreative drives. This series is not subtle, and can catch people off guard and confront them with their own very deep passion which may have been hidden for many years.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a> The solar eclipse in Aries is in conjunction with a tiny near-Earth asteroid <\/span>\ua78cAyl\u00f3\ua78cchaxnim, which remained hidden until January 2020. It is the first and so far the only asteroid known to have an orbit completely within Venus’s orbit. The name means ‘Venus girl’ in the indigenous Luise\u00f1o language of southern California. The name celebrates the location of the discovery. <\/span><\/span>The orbital period around the Sun is about 150 days. At about 4.1 million years from the present, \u02bcAyl\u00f3\u02bcchaxnim will most likely collide with Venus.<\/span><\/span> In the old times the Luise\u00f1o people called Venus as <\/span><\/span>Aylucha, \u201cthat which is left over from evening till morning, food or anything of the kind.\u201d <\/span><\/span>The presence of ‘Ayl\u00f3\ua78cchaxnim <\/span><\/span>emphasizes Venus in the chart, and the fact that the transformation at hand can be built on what already exists.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
