Mercury has been in retrograde since the 15th and we are smack in the middle of the eclipse season.
What more can we ask for when it comes to topsy-turvy energies.
Let’s delve into the transits before getting into the tarot readings.

The Sun and Mercury in fiery Aries, together, have your mind sharp, smart, and adventurous. '

On March 29th is when the solar eclipse happens.

The Hierophant is urging you to adhere to tried and tested methods of doing things, whether in the form of spiritual practice, a guru, or adhering to your daily routine.

Be open to receiving advice and ideas from those who have your view.

Card Seven – Death
Embrace transformation. Death isn’t about endings as it’s about rebirth.
With the eclipse bringing new beginnings and Neptune shifting into Aries for the first time in over a century, you’re being called to shed old layers and welcome change.

This is your chance to reboot, but you must be prepared to release the past.
The universe is making space for something new, so don't resist the process (easier said than done, I know).
This week is a powerful turning point.
Judgement is asking you to look at yourself, and surprise growth (Seven of Pentacles) will test your patience.
Grounding yourself in wisdom (Hierophant) will work for you, and confidence (King of Wands) pushes you forward.
Connection (Two of Cups) sparks your inspiration, and your guides (The Chariot) urge you to keep moving.
The ultimate sponsor? Death because it is a message to you to embrace change.
With an eclipse, Mercury retrograde, and Neptune entering Aries, this is a week of changes.
Ride the wave, trust the process, and welcome the new chapter unfolding before you. Now, let’s delve into this eclipse energy.
The Aries Solar Eclipse
The Aries solar eclipse on March 29th is giving you the chance to reset your life, hurtling you into a new cycle of boldness.
Aries energy is all about action, independence, and courage, yet with Mercury retrograde in Pisces happening at the same time, clear direction will be tantalizingly out of reach.
The eclipse is a push towards change, even if it involves a leap of faith into the void.
It is a new start, just one that is calling for trust, patience, and the willingness to release old fears.
Over the next four weeks, you are being called into courage, self-awareness, and a little risk-taking.
Now, let’s take a look at the Aries Solar Eclipse reading:
1. Which of my fears must I begin to work past over the next four weeks - The Hanged Man
2. How can I show my shadows compassion - Six of Swords
3. What energy will support the best version of myself at this time? - Page of Swords
Card One – The Hanged Man
The biggest fear to overcome? Letting go. The Hanged Man suggests you might struggle to let go of the reins, out of fear of stasis or uncertainty.
But this eclipse isn't about charging forward blindly. It's about shifting your perspective.
With Mercury retrograde in Pisces, it's natural to feel stuck or in the dark regarding your next move.
Instead of forcing answers, surrender to patience.
Recognize that delays have their rationale and that sometimes stepping back is what it takes to move forward.
You don't need to have all of the answers yet.
Let the eclipse illuminate what's meant to come next. Release resistance and permit the pause.
Card Two – Six of Swords
Your shadows aren't something you need to fight. They're something you must carefully navigate.
The Six of Swords is a card of transition, showing that your healing is in the letting go of the past pain, not in drowning in it.
Aries energy loves action, but actual progress isn't about speed as it's about moving with intention.
This eclipse is pushing you to let go of the past wounds, but it's okay to carry lessons with you.
Instead of beating yourself up over where you've gone wrong before, acknowledge how far you've come.
Nobody heals overnight, and self-love means being kind to yourself to move at your own rhythm.
Card Three – Page of Swords
Curiosity and adaptability are your superpowers right now.
The Page of Swords is inquisitive, open to new ideas, and always asking "what's next?"
This eclipse initiates new beginnings, but Mercury retrograde in Pisces can have things feeling a bit fuzzy. Instead of demanding clarity, take on a learning attitude.
Do your research, ask questions, and weigh new perspectives. There is no need to have it all figured out just yet.
Aries energy is behind bold action, but the Page of Swords is all make sure you think first.
Be open-minded, be open-hearted, and trust that each new revelation is bringing you closer to your highest self.
This Aries solar eclipse is about becoming a new version of yourself, but the process requires trust.
The Hanged Man is asking you to release control and surrender to the mystery.
The Six of Swords is asking you to be gentle with your past self and move forward with grace.
The Page of Swords reminds you that growth occurs through curiosity and receptivity.
With Mercury retrograde adding a dash of confusion, this isn't about instant results.
It's about having faith that you'll navigate the mystery just fine.
Allow yourself to transform, trust the timing of your path, and allow this eclipse to lead your way forward
