Solar Eclipse for Aries: What Area Needs a Change?
Aries Ascendant: The 12th House Awakening
For Aries Ascendants, this eclipse is happening in your 12th house. What is the 12th house? It’s your subconscious mind, isolation, and to some extent, your thought process and belief system on a deeper level. It holds the challenges you face within, your hidden strengths, and your spiritual progress. It’s also the house of intoxication—hence why Venus is exalted here. And a house where your thoughts get tangled—hence why Mercury is debilitated here.
This is one of the most dualistic houses in astrology. It can make you oblivious to a situation or push you to an extreme. There’s no middle ground here. You’re either running away from this house or diving headfirst into it.
Chaos in the 12th House
The 12th house dominates your experience right now. We have an exalted but retrograde Venus, a retrograde Mercury, the Sun, the Moon, Rahu, and Saturn all crammed into this one area. Translation? Chaos.
This is heavy energy for you, Aries. Especially since this house also rules escapism. You’re going to feel a strong push to disconnect from the material world and retreat inward. And you have two choices: lose yourself in intoxicating distractions or finally sit with yourself and listen to that inner voice that’s been nagging you forever. Meditation could be your best friend right now. Take some time off, spend more time in nature, and disconnect from the noise of others. Prioritize yourself for once. Give yourself that space over the next few months.
What to Expect in the Coming months
Financially, expect unexpected expenses. Be mindful of your spending. Relationships might also feel strained, and you could crave solitude more than ever. If there’s ever been a perfect time for a solo getaway—this is it. A vacation or long-distance travel is highly favored right now.
However, be extremely cautious with investments. This is not the time for speculation, stock market gambles, or risky financial moves. If you’re considering investing in real estate, expect more costs than you initially planned.
On the flip side, if you’re a writer, photographer, designer, or researcher—this is your time to shine. Your creative abilities are being amplified, and recognition is highly likely.
Venus and Mercury retrograde mean their outcomes are tied to the previous house—the 11th. That’s your gains, goals, and aspirations. With Mars in your 3rd house, you have the energy and drive to push toward your ambitions. But keep them quiet. Not everyone around you has your best interests at heart. Sometimes, working in silence is the best way forward.
Final Thoughts
This is a period of deep introspection. Take time to be alone, focus on your goals, and move toward what truly matters to you. Keep your plans to yourself, trust your instincts, and use this time to lay a strong foundation for the future.
I hope this period isn’t too overwhelming for you, Aries. Try to embrace it with a positive mindset and let it propel you toward your goals.
Sending you love and light.
Big hug,
Oshin❤️
