April New Moon.

The first eclipse of 2022 hits on April 30, and in conjunction with the new moon, is here to shake up our foundations and revamp our values. The new moon solar eclipse is about finding comfort amidst the chaos, so it’s important to trust the changes that unfold in our lives.

The first serve of the season is a solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes directly between the sun and earth, momentarily blocking out the solar rays. When the moon occludes the sun’s rays, the daily order gets scrambled. Something ancient and primordial has cut the feed, and even if the disturbance spans for a few seconds, it will reverberate.

Eclipses represent a showdown between the moon and sun, the feminine and masculine, our inner world and outer expressions.

While the term eclipse can sound a bit daunting, these powerful lunations evoke necessary shifts for each individual, and mark a period where you’re prompted to take a hard look at something in your life that could benefit from some major change.

New moons mark the rebirth of the monthly lunar cycle, which is why they are astrologically aligned with the energy of new beginnings, fresh starts, and planting seeds. Because the new moon on April 30 is also a solar eclipse, there’s an even more fateful and change-filled quality.

The eclipses are asking you to consider whether your comfort zone has anything else to offer you, making the spiritual meaning of the April 2022 new moon solar eclipse all about replacing outdated systems with newfound, long-term comfort and security.

This new moon eclipse in particular takes place in the down-to-earth sign of Taurus, which is all about staying grounded as we navigate the twists and turns in our path. In addition, Taurus commands individual autonomy, power, majesty, ownership and inhabiting one’s sexuality, and an eclipse in the bull’s domain promises provocation.

Taurus’ energy is also all about seeking stability and comfort. However, as eclipses are cosmic wildcards that can send shockwaves of change through our lives and relationships — we’ll be challenged to push our comfort zone in the name of growth.

Until now, our connection to our senses has been sizzled by overexposure, overstimulation, and over-exhaustion. This eclipse, then, is a call to new life. It represents an awakening, and a reclamation of our bodies and individual destinies. Our intuition will be heightened and will put us in a more mystical state of mind. This period brings potential for new beginnings in love and money, and a rose-colored haze of magic over our goals. This eclipse will reveal new paths, but we’ll need to use both our psychic and physical senses to guide us to our destinations.

New moons are usually a supportive time for setting intentions or performing moon magic, but because of the chaotic energy of eclipse season, manifesting or intention-setting during a solar eclipse is a no-go. The best practice has usually been to wait and see rather than hitch a ride on a hurricane. Eclipses bring chaos, even if you don’t feel it in the immediate moment. You’re not called to do anything so much as witness what comes through. Your task during an eclipse is to pay attention.

Eclipses are also a time to rest, recharge, and reflect. Since the moon rules over the body, this can be a time where you may feel a bit more drained than usual, and since this is Taurus we’re talking about, it’ll be important that you prioritise what makes you feel good during this time.

The best way to work with this lunation is to channel the energy of Taurus and stay grounded. Doing a meditation, a mindfulness walk, or simply upping your self-care will help you remain calm and present as you connect with the lessons of the eclipse. Because Taurus is a materially focused earth sign, this eclipse is also a beautiful time to get in touch with your body and physical surroundings.

Tune into your senses through your spiritual practice by doing yoga, exploring sex magic, or trying some relaxing breathing exercises. Light a candle, enjoy some savory treats, and relax. Your comfort is the upmost priority right now. In other words, feed your body and your senses.

This is the time to shake yourself out of despair and desensitization. The effects of the world’s darkness have weighed heavily on the collective consciousness. To be of any service, and to serve your purpose, you need to wake your body up and return to feeling. Enjoy the good stuff. The world hasn’t ended yet. Go party in the fields.

This new moon featuring the solar eclipse is a great time to sit back and reflect on some of the new changes you’ve possibly noticed show up in your life. Finding the spiritual meaning of the new moon eclipse requires us to listen to the messages we’re receiving from the universe, so trust the process. ✨

With love.
