I'm an astrologer - here's what the April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse means for YOUR zodiac sign

On April 8 (Monday) a once in a lifetime event will occur - a Total Solar Eclipse, an event which only happens once every 400 years.

This time, the solar eclipse will take place in the sign of Aries. But according to psychicworld.com, the first bit of eclipse action began on March 25.

It says: '[This] will bring a penumbral lunar eclipse, causing one portion of the moon to experience limb-darkening as seen from Earth over approximately a two-hour duration. But what does this cosmic time mean for the zodiacs?'

The astrologers at Psychic World teamed up with Inbaal Honigman, celebrity psychic and astrologer to provide insight into what this spring milestone will mean for you.

Total Solar Eclipse: What does this mean for you?

This Total Solar Eclipse is considered particularly lucky, and you're in for a real treat if you bore witness when the moon comes between the earth and sun, briefly turning the day into night. 

But when the light returns, so will clarity.

In this time of rare celeste, how can we use this great astrological event to manifest our wildest dreams? Or gain clarity on something once lost?

According to Inbaal: 'The Sun represents all that is clear, obvious and self-explanatory. Those things will be hidden by the Moon during the Total Solar Eclipse, which represents illusion, delusion and madness.'

She explains that this means that 'fringe ideas will take over from mainstream thinking'. 

'Spiritually, the time of the Solar Eclipse is of great significance,' said Inbaal.

'An Eclipse could change the weather, as temperatures drop, and can change the body's natural wake/sleep pattern, causing sleep problems.

'It can even confuse farm animals. It is seen as a time of worry - the ancients would believe that the Sun is about to abandon the Earth at the time of the eclipse.'

She concluded that 'as the light leaves us temporarily at the time of the Solar Eclipse', this can be seen as 'an opportunity for darkness to thrive'.

In other words 'lies and secrets are seen out in the open, and dishonesty can be noticed and called out'.

Can we use the Total Solar Eclipse to our advantage?

The Solar Eclipse is a great time to manifest new beginnings, as well as new leadership - summoning you to take charge and blaze trails where your talents are in demand.

According to Psychic World: 'Chiron, the 'wounded healer' comet will also sit right next to the Total Solar Eclipse, symbolising the unlocked wisdom that will come from this astrological event. Take this time as a second chance at the New Year, taking initiative and trying new things.'

Inbaal added: 'As fantasies take over the narrative, goals for the future become more apparent. It can be seen with great clarity, that changes are needed, and what those changes are. Outdoor manifesting in nature is suitable at the time of the Solar Eclipse, embracing the shadow time and visualising how different things will be when the Sun returns.

'An affirmation for the time of the Solar Eclipse is: I accept my shadow side and celebrate it.'

Which star signs will be most affected?

Inbaal added: 'The Sun itself is the ruler of the sign of Leo, so this sign would be affected during the eclipse.'

She added that Leos 'like to be admired and seen', and that they 'thrive on attention and positive reinforcement'. 

Inbaal continued: 'The shadowy nature of the eclipse could bring the Leo back down to Earth and they'll struggle to thrive away from full sunlight.'

'The Eclipse will take place in the sign of Aries, which means those born under the sign of the Ram would feel the wrath of the Sun.'

She noted that Aries is 'a direct and fearless fire sign', who is happy to face big decisions head-on. 

'The Solar Eclipse is a tough time for Aries, as their directness is brought into question, and secrecy is favoured over blunt honesty,' she concluded.
