Then a six-month cycle will begin during the new moon hybrid solar eclipse in Aries on April 20. Eclipses are like celestial Russian roulette, so this isn’t a lunation for setting intentions or manifestations since this eclipse will provoke fated yet unpredictable events. Since Aries represents independence and courage, this eclipse could encourage embracing autonomy in love by shooting your shot or encouraging more alone time in a relationship.

As the eclipse season begins, Aries season will also come to an end as the sun enters Taurus on April 20. The beginning of Taurus season has a somewhat chaotic start given the eclipse portal and pending retrograde, so this will likely not be as stable as usual. However, the end of Taurus season could be an excellent time to reconsider what deepens the beauty, loyalty and stability in your love life.
