April 30 brings the first eclipse of 2022 at 1:28 PM PT and 4:28 PM ET. This astrological phenomenon is called a Black Moon because it’s the second New Moon in the past thirty days. Spiritually, this marks a time of rampant change in which matters come to fruition swiftly. Eclipses are known to be unpredictable and can bring matters to light that we didn’t see coming. And, yes, they shake up our lives by augmenting everything that needs to be adjusted to ensure we live better lives.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ECLIPSE?

Simply put: Solar eclipses are very potent New Moons. They occur when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, then casts a shadow over Earth. We are usually unable to see the Sun’s rays when this happens, however, this time around we will see a sliver of sunlight because it’s a partial solar eclipse.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS ECLIPSE?

With this solar eclipse occurring in Taurus, we can expect to see relationships and financial matters evolving and growing. We are beginning to see the fruits of our labors blossom under this lunation, which is giving us the momentum to transform our visions in a more concise and definitive way.

On the same day, Venus and Jupiter align in Pisces, expanding our romantic luck and desire for abundance. This transit is particularly important because Venus is the planetary ruler of Taurus, the sign of the solar eclipse. Therefore, we can assess that it’s important to open our hearts and minds to anything that comes our way. The celestial energy is pushing us to create the world and life we want now.
