Eclipse season continues. Tomorrow is the Solar Eclipse in Aries, and how it affects you depends on where in your chart it is. But there will be a surge of energy, marking new beginnings and fresh starts.

There will be a lot of feelings, and it will be an excellent time to delve into your fears. I know it is always a time for shadow work. Here is a three-card Solar Eclipse spread that I got from The Current Hermit. Here is what I pulled:

1. Which of my fears must I begin to work past over the next four weeks - Page of Swords

2. How can I show my shadows compassion - Six of Cups

3. What energy will support the best version of myself at this time? - Temperance

Card One - Page of Swords

The Page of Swords suggests that the fear you must work past is related to communication and expressing your thoughts and ideas.

It may indicate a fear of speaking up, being assertive, or standing up for yourself.

It is time to confront this fear and start acting to overcome it. You can get far if you can be brave and open in your communication. Therefore, speak up!

Card Two - Six of Cups

The Six of Cups represents nostalgia, innocence, and childhood memories.

When it comes to showing compassion to your shadows, this card suggests that you approach your inner shadows with a sense of gentleness and understanding.

It encourages you to revisit past experiences or traumas that may have shaped your shadows and be kind to yourself. By acknowledging and embracing your past, you can start to move forward.

Therefore, don't be surprised if something terrible from the past emerges from the shadows this week. Give yourself some hardcore ME TIME if it does.

Card Three - Temperance

Temperance is a card of balance, harmony, and moderation.

The energy supporting the best version of yourself at this time is finding a sense of equilibrium and integration in your life.

You will want to find a balance between different aspects of your life and practice self-control.

By seeking balance and harmony in all areas of your life, you can tap into your full potential and do well.

Again, it would be best if you had a lot of self-care this week.

That was the Solar Eclipse reading, so the energies are always heavy. Let's now see how it affects the general week-head reading for this week.

1. Your week as a whole - Two of Swords

2. Something unexpected will arise - Knight of Pentacles

3. How to stay grounded and balanced - Eight of Pentacles

4. Important emotion that you will feel this week - Nine of Cups

5. Something that will inspire you - The Magician

6. How your spirit guides speak to you this week - Ten of Swords

7. How to best support yourself this week - Nine of Swords

Card One - Two of Swords

The Two of Swords suggests that your week may involve a decision or a situation where you feel uncertain or stuck.

It represents a need to find balance and choose between two options.

Trust your intuition and seek clarity before making decisions.

You should take some time to reflect and gather information before moving forward.

Mercury is in retrograde, so you will want to be extra careful with this. You will regret the decision if you make it too quickly and hastily.

Card Two - Knight of Pentacles

The Knight of Pentacles represents diligence, reliability, and practicality. In the context of something unexpected, this card suggests that a situation may arise that requires you to be organized and focused.

It could be an opportunity for steady progress or a task that requires attention to detail.

This unexpected event may bring stability and a chance to showcase your practical skills.

You will also need to be methodical when finding a solution to a problem that may arise (and likely something of some sort), and it will require that you use your skills to do that.

Card Three - Eight of Pentacles

The Eight of Pentacles signifies dedication, hard work, and mastery.

To stay grounded and balanced, this card advises you to focus on your skills and invest time and effort into your work or personal projects.

It encourages you to stay disciplined and committed to your goals.

You can maintain stability and balance throughout the week by honing your craft and putting in consistent effort.

It is an excellent time to build it up if you are working on something you want to launch (after the retrograde is over).

Card Four - Nine of Cups

The Nine of Cups represents emotional fulfillment, contentment, and satisfaction.

You may experience a strong sense of happiness, joy, or fulfillment this week, which is good news considering the heavy eclipse energies.

Despite that, your emotional needs and desires will be met, and you may feel a sense of accomplishment.

Go and embrace and celebrate the positive emotions that come your way.

Card Five - The Magician

The Magician is a card of manifestation, creativity, and personal power.

Something or someone will inspire you to tap into your innate abilities and take action.

This card indicates you can manifest your desires and create positive life changes.

It encourages you to believe in your abilities and use your skills and resources to bring your ideas to life.

Therefore, despite the heavy energies this week, you have the opportunity to create something good.

Card Six - Ten of Swords

The Ten of Swords represents an ending or a release of something that no longer serves you.

In the context of your spirit guides speaking to you, this card suggests they may communicate through moments of surrender or letting go.

They may guide you to release any negative thoughts, beliefs, or situations weighing you down.

It is a reminder that even in challenging times, there is always the potential for new beginnings and growth. The solar eclipse reading also backs this up.

Card Seven - Nine of Swords

The Nine of Swords represents anxiety, worry, and overthinking.

To best support yourself this week, this card advises you to address any fears or concerns that may be causing you stress.

You will want to seek support from others, practice self-care, and engage in activities that help calm your mind.

Managing your worries and anxieties will support your overall well-being and help you easily navigate the week. Once again, the eclipse reading also backs this up.

The gist is that this is the week when the solar eclipse energies will trigger painful memories or other challenges, but you will need to work through them.

Self-care and keeping your boundaries firm by speaking up are the best ways to do this.

However, if you have any upcoming projects or other work that needs attention, focusing on that is also a good distraction.

Focus on your skills to work through whatever issues come your way so you can find a solution.
