New Moon Solar Eclipse 20 April 2023

There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries that will happening next week on 20 April 2023. New Moon is about new beginnings. This is quite a huge shift that will be felt for the next 6 months.

Let's see what is the energy of this shift.

Card 1 - Strategy

I see a number of things here. It can be related to crafting new strategies, contracts/ soul contracts, new directions, keys to unlock the future, music related type of work, giving directions, focusing on life purpose, rewriting your reality, manifestation through journaling, closing cycles of karmic contract which relates to card 3 - The World. Number 21 reduces to 3 which represents communication and self-expression in the form of writing and/or speaking, interpersonal communication. So you may be starting new projects and endeavors involving these areas as mentioned.

Card 2 - Storm Warning

This storm warning is similar to the tarot - The Tower. It can feel chaotic as it destroys certain things such as old systems, structures, old energies that are no longer serving. It has a cleansing effect to remove things, people, situations to make way for things that are more aligned to you. So there is potential conflict that can happen during the process of clearing. It can feel overwhelming and emotional. Number 10 is the completion and also a beginning as it reduces to 1. As old energies clear up, new energies emerge.

Card 3 - The World

This represents completion of a cycle. As I mentioned above, there is a karmic cycle that is ending. I also see some lotus flowers on the surface of the waters which indicates enlightenment, purity, clarity, peace and harmony after the storm is over though the sky is still rather cloudy and the energy will take some time to settle down. A part of the world is illuminated while the other part is still in darkness. Those who have awakened will be able to see the dualistic nature of the world. You will look at the world in a different way. Number 29 reduce to 11 is a number of self-mastery. Usually at the end of the cycle, it means you have gained a certain mastery of yourself.

Card 4 - The Temple Path

During the Solar Eclipse, it is recommended to meditate during this period of time to go within and connect with your inner self. You may get fresh insights or downloads. The number 12 also indicates a portal.

Card 5 - Second Chakra / Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra is activating which relates to creativity, inspiration, emotions, emotional expressions, sexual energy, passion. This is a great time to give birth to new projects or anything that you have been contemplating to do. Do it with passion and drive! Number 36 reduces to 9 which represents unconditional love and love for humanity, humanitarian efforts. So if your projects involve helping humanity as a whole, it will be greatly supported by the Universe because the next card that comes is Blossoming Abundance.

Card 6 - Blossoming Abundance

Nature is always in abundance. Mother Earth is very giving and unconditional to her children. The card below it shows Appreciation. When we have gratitude in our heart, Mother Earth or the Universe will always provide us with everything that we need for our sustenance. Number 3 in tarot is represented by The Empress or the Divine Feminine. Mother Earth represent the Divine Feminine aspect of Source and is also within each one of us. It is about receptivity and openness to receive; being open to receive abundance, loving support and connection.

Card 7 - First Chakra / Root Chakra

The root chakra is also activating but it can feel ungrounded initially so it is best to meditate or walk in nature to ground ourselves. The root chakra relates to stability, security, balance, family, ancestral roots, finances and abundance. When the root chakra is balanced, you will be able to receive more abundance as depicted above in card 6.

Card 8 - Envy

As the old karmic cycle is ending, it will clear away some people who always feel a sense of envy or jealousy. This happens when people do not see their blessings in their own life and compares with other people. They focus too much on seeing other people's fortune instead of showing appreciation and gratitude for what they already have in their lives. So this ending of the karmic cycle will be removing these group of people from our lives. Or the energies of envy and jealousy. Once we start to feel more grateful to the abundance coming into our lives, we do not have to be jealous of others. Number 20 reduces to 2 which relates to partnership or relationship. So this can be 3rd party in a relationship that falls away in the ending of the karmic cycle.

Card 9 - Man holding a heart

I see this card as the King of Cups in the tarot which represents the Divine Masculine activating the heart chakra or more in tune with the heart instead of the ego. Everyone of us has that Divine Masculine energy within. In the Twin Flame collective, it also represents the twin soul who is predominantly holding the Divine Masculine energy. Number 45 reduces to 9 which is unconditional love or love for humanity.

Card 10 - Thinking Man

I see this card as the Knight of Swords in the tarot which represent the Masculine or one who is intellectual, analytical, investigator. It is connected to card 1 Strategy where we start to think about the strategies, plans, setting goals and targets before implementing the projects or new path. We have to weigh the pros and cons, the various options, the pit-falls, the possibilities before proceeding. Every step has to be planned and laid out. So there is a balance of the Heart (in card 9) and the Mind (in card 10).

Card 11 - Rest and Rejuvenation

As things will be moving fast in the months ahead, it is recommended to take adequate rest, meditation and self-care routines before you get burned out. You may feel easily depleted during this period of time because of this shift.

Card 12 - Caring Connections

Caring connections can be in the areas of romance or connecting with soul tribes / friends, family. Some people may be getting proposals, love offers, unions and datings. Number 14 reduces to 5 which indicates changes. So it can mean changes to connections or relationships with people.

Card 13 - Appreciation

There is love, appreciation, gratitude and harmony in this card. Number 15 reduces to 6 which relates to harmony and family. This card with the lady holding a red flower also feels like the Divine Feminine, the Queen of Cups or the Empress energy.

Card 14 - Maia, The Winged Messenger, Creation

Spiritual direction inspires my creative flow.

You may be an artist, musician, writer, speaker or something else. It does not matter what form of creativity. Surrender and delight in your imagination. Embrace your inventiveness. Forget perfection and instead immerse yourself in unique expression and authenticity. Allow your creative juices to flow through meditation, transcendent connection, focused intention and dreaming.

At the bottom of the 2 decks are:

Card 15 - Celaeno, The Inner Temple. Life lessons. I go within my shadow for deep spiritual growth. Embrace and integrate both the light and dark within. You are encouraged to dive deeper into your shadows to discover the limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviors and patterns that no lobger serve you. Face your shadow with an open heart. Be authentic, but don't beat yourself up. Heal your core with self-compassion and have gratitude for the lessons and blessings. Meditation brings awareness, answers and peace. Your inner oracle endorses devotional prayer. Prayerful, intuitive meditation practice will be a fast track for your spiritual growth.

Card 16 - Action. This card is on the reverse. So there may be some kind of delay in taking actions towards the goal. Maybe it is not a time to rush in yet. Listen to your intuition to go within first. When the time is right, you will know when to start acting towards your goal or plans.

This is what I feel the energy is for the next 6 months.
