The Final Aries Solar Eclipse: Take Your Next Bold Step

The partial solar eclipse in Aries (March 29, 2025) marks the final chapter in a potent two-year Aries eclipse cycle—and it’s asking one thing: Are you ready to lead yourself into a new life?

This isn’t your average New Moon. It’s a culmination of courage, identity, and bold beginnings that have been building since April 2023. If you’ve felt like your personal evolution has been nudging, pushing, or straight-up shoving you toward change—this eclipse may be the breakthrough you’ve been sensing.

Let’s explore how to work with this moment intuitively, reflect on the past two years, and use tarot to find your footing as you take your next bold step.

A Look Back: The Aries Eclipse Story So Far

This is the third Aries solar eclipse in two years:

• April 19, 2023 – A hybrid eclipse at 29° Aries, co-present with Jupiter. The seed of personal freedom and brave action was planted.
• April 8, 2024 – A total eclipse aligned with Chiron. Healing deep wounds of self-worth and vulnerability came to the surface.
• March 29, 2025 – A partial eclipse at 9° Aries. This is your chance to take everything you’ve learned and apply it. Not just internally—but visibly.

This is your third act. Your third strike against the gate. Your final push into full embodiment.

The Energetics of This Eclipse

Aries is the sign of the initiator, the warrior, the spark. With Mars as its ruler, this eclipse is infused with a fiery call to:

• Assert your willpower
• Own your path
• Act from instinct—not fear

But this isn’t reckless Aries energy. It’s refined by experience. And with Mars currently in Cancer squaring Chiron in Aries, the pressure is real. Family dynamics, emotional wounds, and old protection patterns may rise up—but only to be released or redirected.

You’re being asked: Can I lead from a healed place? Can I parent myself through fear and move anyway?

What Makes This Eclipse Different?

• It’s partial, not total—meaning the energy is intense, but less volatile.
• It closes the Aries/Libra eclipse cycle (2023–2025), which focused on independence vs. codependence.
• It’s the sixth consecutive New Moon at 9°, a degree linked to Sagittarius—offering a broader vision, belief shift, or long-distance leap of faith.
• It happens just before Neptune enters Aries, beginning a new era of collective ideals and spiritual activism.

This is the moment where vision meets action. Where healing meets leadership. Where soul meets will.

A Safe Way to Work with Eclipse Energy

Eclipses are not ideal for traditional manifestation rituals—they’re too unpredictable, too karmic. But this one offers a window for reflection + intention if approached mindfully.

Try This Eclipse Process:

1. Reflect on the last two Aries eclipses.
   • What bold step did I want to take but didn’t?
   • What wounds around identity, agency, or independence have I faced?
2. Identify what’s ready to emerge.
   • What truth am I no longer willing to ignore?
   • What part of me is ready to lead?
3. Name one thing you’re ready to claim—an action, decision, or direction.
4. Phrase it as an intention—not a wish.

“I honor my truth by taking courageous steps toward my purpose.” “I am safe to lead myself into the unknown.”

Tarot Support for the Aries Eclipse

Tarot is an incredible tool during eclipse portals—especially when clarity is murky and emotions run high.

Reflection Spread:

1. What is this eclipse asking me to release?
2. What personal truth wants to be reclaimed?
3. What bold step is ready to emerge?
4. What energy will support me in leading forward?

Cards That May Arise:

• The Emperor – Aries’ card. Leadership, personal power, structure
• The Tower – Necessary disruption, breakthrough
• The Chariot – Forward motion with emotional clarity
• The Star – Healing, renewed hope after chaos
• Ace of Wands – A new passion, fire, or direction
