This Solar Eclipse will be anything but boring.

The Eclipse will take place at the last degree of Aries, which is known as the “anaretic” degree, or “degree of fate”. At the end of a sign, we are closing a chapter and getting ready for a new journey, but change is sometimes not very easy.

It can instead bring about crises or sudden events, which jolt us into a new situation. There will be a sense of anticipation in the air as we near this eclipse.

To complicate matters more, Pluto will be exactly square the Solar Eclipse Sun. This indicates very deep transformations are about to take place, including at the global level.

This year, Pluto will enter Aquarius after a 15-year residency in Capricorn, so we can expect a lot of changes. Pluto in Capricorn represents the transformation of power, tradition, and the status quo.

When it first entered Capricorn in 2008, a financial crisis occurred when the United States housing bubble burst and American real estate value collapsed. While financial institutions were bailed out, unemployment, suicide, and distrust increased among the public.

Pluto uncovers the truth, which leads to lasting transformation. Since Pluto entered Capricorn, much corruption has been exposed, leading to an awakening among the public.

Pluto in Capricorn has exposed the problems of having too much power at the top. Now that we have entered the final degrees of Capricorn, we will see more turning points take place. Take, for example, Prince Harry, who is challenging the institution of the monarchy and uncovering the truth of his experience as a royal.

Now that Pluto is entering Aquarius, we are likely to see a shift from top-down power, to bottom-up change.  We may see rebellion against oppression of all sorts, which will give way to a more equitable society.

We can expect a lot of progress in terms of science and technology, and how it can make the world a better place. I hope we can get to a place of less division and more understanding, so that we can make the world a better place for us all!

On a more personal level, this eclipse will bring about change and transformation in your life. You may uncover certain truths about yourself or your life, which may inspire you to change your situation.

As a result, you may decide (or be forced) to leave a part of your old life behind.  This eclipse may bring about major power struggles and sweeping changes in the houses the eclipse takes place.

In your life, where do you feel least powerful? Where have you given your power up to others?

You may be faced with uncomfortable truths during this eclipse period which will triggers major changes in your life. This will not be an easy eclipse, but sometimes things need to be broken down before something better can be introduced.

Eclipses are in effect for approximately 6 months.
