The effects of the total solar eclipse will be very strong and clear. Generally, the effects of the eclipse are prominent for 6 months. Therefore, we can see these effects in the next 6 months.

The eclipse lasts about 4 minutes, which means its trigger will last for 4 years. This eclipse is visible across the entire American continent, thus it’s referred to as the Great American Eclipse. For the same reason, it significantly affects the USA, as well as the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Portugal, Iran, China, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Japan – these countries will be the most affected.

During the eclipse, Mercury will be in retrograde, just so you know. If you’re wondering how to survive the impactful Mercury retrograde during the eclipse, you can read this article.

Time to Stay Alert

The eclipse on the northeast line is positive, hence it will bring innovations. Mercury is in retrograde in Aries, demanding us to be brave. It’s not the time to ignore or relax.

Leaders Shaken

The eclipse occurs at 19 degrees in Aries, where the Sun is exalted. The Sun represents energy sources, leaders, kings, masculine figures, and rulers. Changes in leadership, resignation, or health issues may occur. The eclipse is related to changes among leaders and rulers. Many countries around the world might see changes in governance.

Protests, terrorist activities, and major accidents could occur. Caution is needed in crowded places since Mars and Saturn will be in perfect conjunction on April 10th in the 5th house of the chart. Especially concerts, entertainment venues, sports events, and matches could face dangerous elements.

Trigger Points

Mars-Saturn conjunction in Pisces (April 10th): The eclipse is under Mars’s rule, with a conjunction between Mars and Saturn: military movements, wars, coups in some countries, terrorist events, explosions and accidents, floods, earthquakes, storms, and tsunamis in seas and oceans, accidents involving ships, tankers, and airplanes, pollution and leakage in oceans, threats to water and marine life, economic stagnation, and austerity policies.

April 21st – Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction: Rapid and surprising developments could occur in markets, economy, money, production, nature, land, and agriculture. This aspect will also bring personal opportunities.

Other days when the eclipse’s effects may be triggered include May 4-5, May 26, and July 11-13.

Regarding the Solar Eclipse

We last experienced the 139th solar eclipse in April 2005, also in Aries. You can look back at that period and think about what you experienced then.

According to Brady’s eclipse guide, this is known as 8 North, described as: “Discoveries, brilliant ideas are the characteristics of this saros series, one may have incredible dreams and find magnificent ideas, during this time, one may become estranged from family, spouse, or friends and end up alone.”

As if all this wasn’t enough, the eclipse also features the transit of the Pons Brooks comet! It will be closest to Earth on June 2, 2024, at 1.55 AU (232 million km). The comet’s visible brightness is expected to be about 4.5 magnitude.

Traces of the Past

Mercury during the eclipse will complicate metro, communication, internet, and messaging. Documents and contracts might see back-and-forth, revocation of decisions, and changes. Reconnections with people you knew in the past, including ex-partners, may also occur. We also see the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus. Protests, freedom movements, sudden and unexpected natural disasters, issues expanding, innovations and uncontrollable developments in nutrition, agriculture, and the economy.

Wounded Healer Chiron on Stage

The eclipse is in conjunction with Chiron. Chiron signifies both healing and pain. It’s time to bandage every wound that was previously covered without healing. Additionally, accidents, illnesses, and injuries might occur – there’s also a risk of disease. There will be a test in terms of showing courage and putting oneself out there.

Aries governs the head, indicating migraines, headaches, infections, febrile diseases, typhus, dysentery, dental and eye problems, jaw injuries, and brain hemorrhages. Mars’s position in Pisces also speaks to nervous and psychological problems. Take care of your psychology. Be cautious of accidents and illness risks, especially on the roads. Keep your immunity strong. In short, empower yourself in every way to emerge strong from the celestial test of April.
