The Solar Eclipse in Aries on 4/8 will have us diving deep into the fibers of our being. During an eclipse, our energetic bodies become more porous: lunar eclipses (when the sun sits directly between and the moon in the earth) amplify our emotional, sensual, and intuitive perceptions, while solar eclipses (when the moon sits between
the sun and the earth) clarify our fiercest truths. This solar eclipse we have the opportunity to dispel illusion, shed self-doubt, and set aside the patterns inhibiting our momentum.Â
This lunation in Aries is a whetstone for your most closely guarded dreams and desires, witch. What's standing in the way of your creative unfurling? Your magic-making? Are you willing to be honest about the ways you may
have sabotaged your own becoming along the way? Are you ready to dismantle the walls penning you in?
Â
As this eclipse season closes, you're invited to
joyfully, urgently not know where you're going. This happening is not about the where or the how; this lunation is deeply concerned with the why and the what. What's stopping you from emerging back into the world as your fullest, most embodied, most authentic self? Let spring embolden you. Move with abundant curiosity and playfulness. Romance those shy, shuttered in parts of yourself and gently coax them into the light.

The Scorpio Full Moon beams down on us on 4/23. Glow in the sharp wise waters of the scorpions sting! In the sign of Scorpio, this April full moon brings us into the rich depths of our divine being. Imagine the bioluminescent waters within beginning to shimmer and percolate. This lunation invites us to feel into our well of emotions and
to fill our cups as we need, free from apology or even much explanation. We do this by drawing upon our passions, our instincts, and our desires. As bright as the moon shines in the sky, we too can harness our determination and drive to have what is rightfully ours. This cycle can allow us to start fresh and to be reborn through the waves of intuitive, chosen change.Â
Â
This moon creates a new ability to perceive more detail in the dark. Though we cannot see everything as clearly as we would in the light of day, we can perhaps feel more at this time. Take advantage of this sensitivity and let yourself lean into it with profound trust. We can now see with our eyes of intuition, and visualize with the deep gaze of emotionality. This Scorpio moon looks into our core and asks "how will you bring your motivations to life?"
Answer with action.Â
Â
For a simple Full Moon ritual at home, take to the tub. Let your basin be your altar, and allow the waters to illuminate your inner truth. Offer a few drops of Spellwork essence to bring your intention up and out into the world, and sprinkle in some sweet Milk + Clay soaking blend to keep the waters of intuition clear and flowing.Â
