🧨 The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough (Thanks, Aries Eclipse!)


🔥 I’m coming in hot with this one—just like this eclipse. No easing in. No warm-up. No lube. 😮‍💨 (Too much? Blame Aries.)

Reader! There’s a certain kind of chaos that clears the path. Not because it’s gentle. But because it’s real.

Like quitting your job mid-Zoom. Or cutting your hair at 2 am because something had to change (Tell me I'm not the only person who's done this!). Or standing in your living room mid-breakdown, thinking: I don’t know what’s next—but it’s not this. That’s the energy we’re walking into. And March isn’t easing us in—it’s throwing us into the fire.

And fair warning: this one’s a little longer than usual because the astro skies are WILD this week. We’ve got an Aries eclipse lighting a fire under everything, national identity crises, and a tarot pull that read us for filth.🫠 Let’s get into it.

🌑 Eclipses Don’t Whisper. They Black Out the Sky.

The March 29 partial solar eclipse in Aries is not soft astrology. It’s not a manifestation portal or a journaling moment. It’s a disruption. Eclipses bring crises, challenges, and things you can’t finesse your way out of. When the Sun and Moon meet in an eclipse, it feels like a major power outage, and is considered one of the most malefic events in astrology.

This is the kind of energy that says: Lay on the floor. Don’t power through. Listen. Let it come undone. Surrender.

🗺️ How This Eclipse Might Hit You

The solar eclipse happens at 9° Aries, and it’s got a six-month shelf life. Here’s how to track the impact in your chart:

  • Locate 9° Aries in your birth chart. That house shows where the disruption is unfolding. The opposite house mirrors the story.
  • If it conjuncts or opposes a natal planet—especially one between 4°–14° Aries or Libra—expect a crisis tied to what that planet rules.
  • If it lands near one of your angles (ASC, MC, etc.), the effects will hit harder and more visibly.
  • And if another transit touches this degree later on? It reactivates the eclipse and brings the intensity back.

This isn’t a cute moon cycle. It’s a blackout, babe. A system shutdown.
Where do you need to let it burn?
In the words of the incomparable Jazmine Sullivan:

“There’s no runnin’ when it’s your turn.”

🇺🇸 Eclipse on the U.S. Ascendant: A National Identity Crisis

This eclipse isn’t just personal—it’s hitting America’s chart directly.
Specifically, the eclipse is happening on the Ascendant of the U.S. eclipse chart. That means:

  • Our collective identity is getting a facelift.
  • The way we relate to others will shift dramatically.
  • Our environment may change in explosive, intense ways.

And the ruler of that Ascendant? Mars in Cancer, sitting in the 5th house.

Now, Mars in Cancer is traditionally considered in its fall—a position of weakness—which often signals that the nation is in trouble. The 5th house links to children, education, sports, and national joy (hello, March Madness—Go Duke!💙), so expect pressure points there.

But don’t write it off just yet. There’s more.

While Mars is debilitated, it’s also in the sign of its triplicity and in mutual reception with the Moon (the ruler of both the 4th and 5th houses). That means: Even in distress, there’s a lifeline. A willingness to fight for what matters. A desire to nurture and protect the generations coming up behind us.

Long story short: even though the nation is troubled, we're being buoyed by the ideals we hold dear—and our deep desire to support the future.

It’s messy. But it’s meaningful. And we’re not giving up.

💬 Mercury on the Aries Point right now highlights hot-button topics like education, children, vehicles, commerce, and communication—all powder keg areas.
⚔️ Mars and Chiron signal deep wounds and the fight to build a new world order.
🍳 Uranus/Ceres? Think shocking news around food, tech, and even celebrity chefs.
🌍 Saturn + Apollon bring themes of separatism, protectionism, segregation, and secession, and potential issues with education and travel.

🔥 The eclipse is also on the Vesta/Kronos midpoint, suggesting events tied to citizenship, deportation, and exile.

Finally, Admetos is on the Mars/Kronos midpoint—a major signature of governmental limitation, restriction, and backward motion. Admetos contracts, narrows, and slows. This is political power letting inertia take hold. Heavy. Crowded. Deeply conservative.


🧠 Think. What Were You Doing 18–19 Years Ago?

Eclipses move in cycles. This one echoes events from 18–19 years ago. For me, that was graduating from college and preparing to move to a new city—everything in flux.

What was breaking open in your life then?
What’s still unfinished from that era?


🥊 This Is Aries. Do It Scared.

Aries doesn’t wait for the timing to feel right. Aries doesn’t care if you’re ready.

This eclipse is about:

  • Identity
  • Visibility
  • Courage
  • Fighting for your damn self

I’ve been leaning into that by going live on YouTube lately—even when I felt a little exposed. That’s Aries energy: raw, immediate, unfiltered.

What are you ready to do, even if you’re not ready?

🃏 Big Deck Energy: Tarot Pull for the Week

Welcome to Big Deck Energy—where I pull a tarot card each week on behalf of our collective to offer insight, reflection, or a much-needed reality check. Think of it as a weekly reset, a moment to pause and take in what’s unfolding. This week, I asked: Where am I being called to break the cycle and begin again—on my own terms this time?

Here's what the Tarot had to say: The Knight of Cups (Reversed)... again. 👀

Yep—we pulled this exact card back in the February 21st newsletter.

So if there’s a lingering emotional situation or personal pattern that’s creeping back up? That’s not random. That’s a second chance to deal with it. This is your opportunity to nip it in the bud—before eclipse season turns a crack into a canyon.

Upright, this Knight is polished. Poised. Performing. He hides the truth of what he feels under the weight of duty—maybe even excellence—so he never has to face what’s actually in his heart. He compartmentalizes. He navigates life like he’s playing a role. But that role is cracking. Holding up the farce of who you are has become untenable.

Reversed, the facade dissolves. That composed, strategic persona? It gets washed out by the tidal wave underneath. Emotion overtakes the mask. The truth leaks. False identities are being destroyed to set you free.

This is your cue to stop performing and start living. Take off the mask. Let your real face breathe.

And if this isn’t about you—it may be about someone else. Because this card can also point to a ruthless, slippery figure being exposed. Someone who operates with hidden motives, intense passion, and no real conscience. On the surface? Calm. But beneath? Unpredictable. Dangerous. Distrusted.

The eclipse could shine a light on that person—or show you where that energy lives in you.

Either way, the illusion’s not going to hold.


🧨 Final Takeaway

Eclipses show us where crisis is coming. A crisis is a turning point.
This one? It’s calling your bluff. The mask. The performance. The avoidance. You can’t stop the shift—but you can choose what you bring with you. Let it burn. Let it break. And then? Begin again. On your own terms. Don’t overthink it. Just do it.

If you made it through this newsletter, you can make it through this eclipse. Thanks for rockin' with me, Reader!
