ECLIPSE CARD	OVERALL ENERGY	ROOT ENERGY
7 of Diamonds ♦	Jack of Hearts ♥	2 of Hearts ♥

This solar eclipse is giving us an opportunity to move forward in love and release fear. The only way to truly release fear is to face it. 7 of Diamonds as the eclipse card brings in the necessary strength for you to do so. The 7 of Diamonds signifies a situation or experience that can test your faith in your worth and ability to prosper. You're given an opportunity to experience abundance but your attitude towards what's presented would be the determining factor for how much of a benefit you truly see from it.

7 of Diamonds is associated with Saturn in Taurus, where Saturn aims to refine our attachment to money. This may be done through a blessing in disguise or some sort of test that seems worse than it truly is. That is because 7 of Diamonds teaches us about spiritual money, where divine intervention is the provider. For example, there could be some bad news or disappointment in finances. But as you begin to work through the steps required to solve it, you start to notice that you have all the practical means necessary to cover the cost.

It's in true eclipse nature to test the faith of some of our primary motivators. So prepare for people or relationships to act as conduits for those challenges. Lies, gossip, setbacks, and overspending have an increased probability in this climate. If these unfavorable conditions emerge in your field, practical means for cleansings and road openings should be put into order. Your attitude will dictate your outcome in a lot of this. Saturn wants to see your character here. Have the courage to release fear. Use your inner wisdom to know what isn't worth the risk and prioritize protecting your major investments. Remember, spiritual currency is the only form of payment allowed.

Then we have the Jack of Hearts showing up again like an old-school reboot nobody asked for. If you've read the article about this current Saturn Retrograde or this past Lion's Gate, you know we've been dealing with the Jack of Hearts for quite some time now. In the context of a new moon solar eclipse, think Knight of Cups in traditional tarot. With a Libra new moon, a King of Cups instead of the Knight of Cups would be more ideal to match with this Venusian influence. But the Jack of Hearts reminds us to value the journey to our heart's exaltation rather than only seeing value in its peak and pinnacle. This isn't a bad thing in terms of the lesson behind the Jack of Hearts. But where it becomes complicated is when we look at how this card aspects our eclipse card, 7 of Diamonds.

The Jack of Hearts is in the Venus period for the 7 of Diamonds. Certified Libra-coded solar eclipse. For this card to come out, we're examining the full gamut of your 7th House. From family to friends, your lover(s), and your home. It's all under review to see if those checkbooks are balanced. At its core, Jack of Hearts symbolizes the 'Christ card.' When in its Venus period this means there's some level of spiritual sacrifice you'll have to make to be aligned with your heart and birthright. You are encouraged to elevate your thinking, speaking, and behavior to a higher level especially in the areas where you know you've needed it for a while. This is especially relevant for addictions, vices, and bad habits that you know you need to put down. The energetic circumstances are requesting a personal sacrifice from you to encourage you to do things with a higher motive and agape love.

It sounds sweet and divine but Jack of Hearts is also known as the fickle lover. Usually emerging with some level of emotional manipulation or influence. The objective of the emotional queue from the Jack of Hearts is to trigger renewal in the emotional body and bring true intentions to fruition. This ability makes the Jack of Hearts riskier to deal with during a fertile new moon eclipse, especially for those involved in meaningless work for material reward. Your quality of life is being challenged to elevate to a higher spiritual level and it may come at the cost of the Earthly pleasures you're used to.

If you can discipline your desires and master your emotions, this can be a favorable transit for your relationships and finances. Karmic rewards are showing up through valuable connections. This includes colleagues, friends, and family who prove to be resourceful. You can gain favor when it comes to auspicious opportunities for business or finances based on those relationships. Especially within industries centered around healing, spirituality, or intellect. Ultimately, these karmic rewards come in to award you for three primary reasons:

1. Your higher realization of truth.

2. The self-work you've done to elevate your nobility.

3. To acknowledge a display of bravery/integrity/fairness.

Now let's look under the veil of what's happening. 2 of Hearts is the card at the root of the eclipse energy we're encountering. 2 of Hearts is Venus in Cancer energy. Sweet, loving 2 of Hearts wants to bring in love, a happy marriage of souls, and emotional satisfaction. The purpose is to remind you what makes life worth living and to see the value in the small things. This may show up in the form of a love connection or with more time to prioritize self-care. You'll find that you're more inclined to nurture the self, home, family, and your property. The atmosphere supports these actions because there's a lot of strength to gain from doing the simple things in life. It can drastically change your attitude which can be used as fuel for later on.

2 of Hearts symbolize the union of hearts. Where you may have more time to spend with people you love. The family could be gathering more often specifically to celebrate or solidify family expansions. Baby showers, house warmings, or quality time with extended family is more likely to take place. Additionally, the 2 of Hearts suggests the potential for the birth of a child. As we look deeper into the life script of the 7 of Diamonds, we also see this indicated again through the King of Hearts in the Uranus position. Then once more with the King of Hearts in the Jupiter period for the Jack of Hearts card. These signs indicate the possibility of receiving some unexpected pregnancy news.

So, when I say this can be a favorable transit for your relationships and finances this is true. But it would take serious commitment. Even on the mundane level, the 2 of Hearts warns us to be cautious about changing jobs. Further reinforcing the fact that it would be better to buckle down in a laser-focused area and capitalize fully on what you have around you. With that approach, prosperity and success are yours.

MIRROR ENERGY MATCHUPS

The cat's already out of the bag when it comes to the Jack of Hearts and 7 of Diamonds relationship. We're looking at the natal Venus (Jack of Hearts) to the card of the eclipse energy, 7 of Diamonds. This is a higher heart chakra activation, the Thymus Chakra. Venus remediation if you're familiar with that in astrological terms. Where your emotional center in life is getting an upgrade. Ironically, the 2 of Hearts (underlying energy) is also a mirroring card between the pair. How divinely written is that? All three cards in this spread are found in one another's life script.

We are all reminded of the theory of relativity. Our observation of the universe is relative to others and in a frame of reference to what's around us. Meaning that through comparison we have the ability to conceptualize context. This is how we conclude that no man exists in a vacuum and why numerous African proverbs come to the conclusion that we learn about ourselves through the actions of others. This comparative power helps us to truly see the significance of harmony and balance like the Libra folklore advises us toward.

2 of Hearts is the Saturn energy for the 7 of Diamonds and it's also the Mars placement for the Jack of Hearts. Where things get tricky are in the details of how experiences might show up for people. 2 of Hearts in the Saturn period suggests that karmic relationships may come into play. If it's not as drastic as a new relationship taking form then karmic aspects of your relationship have the potential to show up as an obstacle. Close friends or relatives can be the conduit for these challenges or burdens. If you are presented with karmic challenges it's important to understand the sequence of events are fated to unfold that in that way.

These challenges have a destined element to them that serve the purpose of helping us mature emotionally and in how we handle relationships. The lesson to learn here is to be responsible in our we relate to others. Looking at the 2 of Hearts from a Saturn lens, you're shown how to be ethical and fair in love, sex, and even your sexual expression. When we see this same card from a Mars perspective in the Jack of Hearts life script, we see why it's so important to have that integrity established first and foremost.

2 of Hearts during its Mars period creates a tumultuous environment for an otherwise affectionate and loving card. When it takes on the Mars position, 2 of Hearts is associated with aggressive, intense, and stimulating relationships. It's common for fights and conflicts to happen due to pent-up aggression or emotions that can no longer be swept under the run. This energy can be channeled in a positive fashion if you use it for creative energy or healthy sexual pleasure. However, if things get out of hand, you can be met with grave consequences. To help temper this energy out, expand your relationships with men or masculine people in your life to get support, guidance, and advice on how to navigate these turbulent waters harmoniously. They can prove to be helpful or at least an example of what outcomes you can expect after acting on certain emotions.

We can look deeper at the context surrounding these challenges when we examine another card the 7 of Diamonds and Jack of Hearts have in common, the 9 of Spades. 9 of Spades is the Jupiter placement for the eclipse card and its the Venus period for the Jack of Hearts. From a Jupiter perspective, 9 of Spades symbolizes a major ending and I'm picking up on the energy of the Judgement card with it. There's a spiritual interference nature that this card carries within this reading. You're being spiritually forced to put an end to a way of life and move on to something new. Don't resist endings in any area.

Exciting and prosperous opportunities are on the other side of any ending at this time. You have the protection of Jupiter's blessings when the 9 of Spades is in its Jupiter period. Look at the good within your circumstances because they lead you to those blessings. Even if you're fired, broken up with, or rejected, this card signifies a better position coming afterward. What comes to pass is what you desire so remember it's important to discipline your impulses and keep an attitude of gratitude. Being intentional about your desires and perception is key to being in alignment with what you truly want.

9 of Spades in the Venus period for the Jack of Hearts has a mirroring message to the one we just uncovered. There is a major cycle closing in your Venus department. This is likely to come with intensity that you can't ignore. It could be family-related problems that can't be fixed on the spot, relationship issues that require long-term changed behavior to fully resolve, or health issues coming to the forefront. The most important thing to remember is to not resist finality, grief or completion. 9 of Spades in the Venus position creates more difficulties when you hold on to things longer than you're supposed to. Long overdue endings are supported by this transit so fighting against the eye of the storm may prove to be a kamikaze mission that has the potential to blow up in your face. It would be better to go through the motions of grief or transformation naturally.

For a Venusian 9 of Spaces, it's all about displaying your emotional maturity and fortitude when handling inevitable endings. Everything must come to its natural close and how you handle it is a testament to your character. The possibility of experiencing poor health symptoms increase if you're dealing with emotional challenges. For example, not sleeping or eating because of heartbreak or after facing grief. Overindulgence in drugs to numb emotional pain. Headaches or body aches due to stress and anxiety. It's better to honor any emotional release that comes up. But do not cling on to pain or maladaptive coping mechanisms. Practicing non-attachment and being grateful for the experiences you have can serve you well. If you have a 4, 8, or 10 birth card or any of those cardholders around you, this can make a 9 of Spades Venus period more postive and favorable for you.

9 is a repeated number when we get to our next matchup within the life script of these cards. 7 of Diamonds and the Jacks of Hearts have the 9 of Clubs in common as well. For 7 of Diamonds it's in the Mars placements but it's in the Mercury position for the Jack of Hearts. Mars and Mercury synastry for the 9 of Clubs card adds fuel to the fire of an already turbulent atmosphere.

We can expect conflict, defensiveness, impatience, and aggression to flare up with the eclipse energy. The 9 of Clubs in the Mars position suggests those heightened emotions can even lead to termination from your job or switching jobs due to impatience. Please be discerning and calm when you're contemplating these decisions because this portal is unfavorable toward haphazard impulses. You want to make a clean break into your next position without the repercussions of a messy ending to clean up afterwards.

There's major Justice and Judgement energy surfacing especially as it pertains to men. So expect fairness to prevail eventually. Lawsuits are going to increase in frequency and be brought to public knowledge due to the Libra scales coming in to balance things. This was mentioned in the Lunar Eclipse reading but it shows up again here with the 9 of Clubs in the Mars position.

A Martian 9 of Clubs also emphasizes a need for equity amongst men. Relationships with masculine energy are likely to be less harmonious right now if there is a need for fairness or atonement. Disputes have a higher probability of leading to a breach or break of contract agreements. Do your best not to exacerbate the situation by adding impatience or hostility into the mix. This energy feeds on aggression and anger so choose peace. If you have a 4, 8, or 10 birth card or any of those cardholders around you, this can make a 9 of Clubs Mars period more postive and favorable for you.

The brighter side of this synastry comes from 9 of Clubs in the Mercury period. When Mercury takes over for this card, it does suggest that disappointment or bad news may come but the the discomfort from those experiences doesn't linger for long. It's more of a sudden let-down or unexpected blindside but as quickly as it comes is how quickly the pain of it goes. Perspective is how you navigate this dynamic because 9 of Clubs in the Mercury period can either feel like graduating after reaching completion or disappointment from a loss.

Next, let's examine the relationship between the 2 of Hearts and Jack of Hearts. Things get better when we decipher the meaning of our divination cards. The Hearts pair has 4 of Clubs in common. For the 2 of Hearts it's in the Jupiter position and for the Jack of Hearts it's placed in the Neptune period. 4s prove to be favorable as advised. When Jupiter uses the 4 of Clubs energy we get strong indications for satisfaction in business and finances. There's an emphasis on favor towards those that have a one-point, steady focus in business. Mapping out where financial benefits and satisfaction are coming from, we see they can be found in areas where you've been making compounding effort. The sweat equity you've put in is going to pay off, all you have to do is pass this final test of your faith. Use your intellect to your advantage. Prioritize being more organized. Efficiency and productivity can lead to success when we have a Jupiter-ruled 4 of Clubs at our disposal.

When we examine 4 of Clubs in its Neptune form, we have yet another affirmation for satisfaction but this time in the realm of healing, spirituality, and travel. There are some people who can benefit from a therapeutic trip at this time. In the lunar eclipse reading it was revealed that traveling for healthcare would be a more common occurrence. Consider this for yourself if it helps improve your efficiency and overall quality of life. A Neptunian 4 of Clubs brings happiness and satisfaction from traveling, a distant arrangement, or through someone who travels. If you can factor it in responsibly, it would be worthwhile as long as it's not an impulse trip booked primarily for pleasure.

This favor towards travel can also apply spiritually where contact with unseen realms or increased psychic activity can affirm your current course of action or help you find satisfaction in your physical life. Dreams, meditation, and prayer can allow you to travel mental or spiritually to a other realms. If you're a healer, healthcare worker or spiritual practitioner the 4 of Clubs in its Neptune period will show you favor in your emotional wellbeing and through spiritual support for your work.

Now that we've covered the good news let's look at some of the not-so-good news from this mirror matchup when we dive deeper into the 6 of Hearts they have in common. 2 of Hearts has 6 of Hearts its Mars placement, and the Jack of Hearts has this card in its Uranus period. 6 of Hearts comes with the caution that there's likely to be pressure on your emotional life where loved ones may be draining you emotionally or financially. While we do have to be a pillar of community to our family, friends, and lovers, if there's a lack of reciprocity or consideration this can cause a strain. With a Martian 6 of Hearts, impatience is a repeated theme that can occur as a result.

You're being called to slow down, approach things with ease, and stay calm. The 6 of Hearts is going to present you with an opportunity to settle relationship issues. This card supports a fair and equal settlement even in legal matters if your conflicts have reached that point. The advice is to:

• Take action responsibly.

• Give in a manner that you would want to receive.

• Do not panic during moments of conflict because the calmer you are, the better the outcome.

This is true for 6 of Hearts in the Uranus period too. From the lens of Uranus, the 6 of Hearts wants you to cooperate and compromise to maintain peace. This card in the Uranus period provides success for humanitarian efforts and affairs regarding labor or service workers. The key is to not become stubborn or inflexible. You want to look for ways to bring harmony and balance. 6 of Hearts in the Uranus period focuses on taking action within your purpose and how that purpose serves others. The subtle emotions you feel when inspired to act or those subtle philosophical thoughts that cross your mind can point you in the direction of your purpose. Use those guiding signs for a more favorable outcome.

Now let's tie this all together. We have a beautiful eclipse upon us where all three cards share a close relationship. King of Hearts is one of the primary cards they share. King of Hearts is astrologically associated with the Cancer zodiac constellation. This archetype is the ultimate emotionally intelligent protector and provider. We see that through the different forms it takes on in each planetary period. The Eclipse card, 7 of Diamonds, has the King of Hearts in its Uranus placement. This gives you strong psychic power and leadership quality strength when you're in service to others. With the atmosphere of the eclipse, there will be a lot of hard work asked of you. There's no time to slack when a portal opens in the middle of a work week, so embrace the maturity and level of responisibility that the energy of the King of Hearts bestows upon you.

The Jack of Hearts gifts us with a Jupiter-ruled King of Hearts in which you can be rewarded with blessings for the mastery of your emotions and how you express your values regarding business or the home. King of Hearts in the Jupiter period compounds on that gift by coupling it with the power of love. Where if you act from the heart, things become more favorable. A benefit from this is that the way you navigate relationships can bring you good fortune. For men, this can include the conception or birth of a child. Ironically the King of Hearts in the Uranus period for the 7 of Diamonds mirrors this message as well. In that context though, it brings up the possibility of unexpected pregnancy news so there could be a pregnancy scare or unplanned children that come to awareness for some men.

At the root of it all, 2 of Hearts has King of Hearts in its Mars period. So while we do have energy that wants to be harmonious and co-create together, the Mars aspects cause passions and emotions to run high. You can see this astrologically as well with the new moon Libra squaring Mars in Cancer. This cosmic energy gives you the ability to get what you want from others by aggressively using your charm and emotional power. A mature attitude and approach is what's asked of in these situations. King of Hearts can bring in a lot of success in love, sex, and romance if you tap into its energy properly. For Heart Suit birth card men, King of Hearts in the Mars position can bring either intense attraction or anger towards you. It's advised to use discernment and utilize this energy responsibly.

Here's a closer look at how this transit may impact you on a personal level based on the element of your sun sign and the suit of your birth card:

WATER SIGNS

(Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio + Hearts Birth Card Holders)

5 of Spades

Venus in Aquarius

Keywords: Breaking free. Traditionally called the 'Tears' Card

Water signs you may be liberating yourselves from a suffocating or traumatic experience. The 5 of Spades suggest that there is a significant separation taking place to bring you to an emotionally safer environment. This can be a change in your household or a change in the people you were once intimately connected to. This separation is a gift to remove you from harmful, restrictive emotional cycles so that you can be free in a healthy environment. You're supported by your community, peers, and friends in this transition which can also increase your popularity if you're willing to remove yourself from toxic associations. The only way this transition could backfire would be if you hold on to beliefs rooted in idealistic fantasies or potentialities. Seeing things as they are and removing yourself from what causes you pain is favorable for you during this transit.

AIR SIGNS

(Gemini, Libra Aquarius + Spades Birth Card Holders)

2 of Clubs

Mars in Aries

Keywords: Potential, support, and opportunity.

Air signs, you have a lot of career and creative opportunities coming in for you with this eclipse energy. It does come with the caveat that you might become spoiled for choice and take on more than you chew. With so many paths available it's more important to choose one and narrow things down. This is because the 2 of Clubs asks us to choose wisely specifically with the partnerships we choose and how business impacts your personal relationships. 2 of Clubs is a signal that social support will play a big factor for you at some point so it warns against taking on opportunities that would put too much of a strain on your relationships. With fruitful opportunities on the horizon, cultivating and considering your support system will give you a more favorable outcome during this eclipse period.

FIRE SIGNS

(Aries, Leo, Sagittarius + Club Birth Card Holders)

3 of Hearts

Mercury in Cancer

Keywords: Hasty promises. Confusion.

Okay Fire signs, you guys are dealing with this new Moon-Mars square synastry the most with this eclipse. 3 of Hearts is nothing like the 3 of Cups in traditional tarot where it comes with a message to prioritize socializing and enjoying life with the people you love. The 3 of Cards in cartomancy is about the intense emotions that can arise when engaging with others. This can likely show up in your romantic relationships where someone doesn't keep their word or switches up their emotions towards you over something small and fickle. You are advised to disengage and return to your sense of peace in the event that this happens. The 3 of Hearts suggests these conflicts or disputes can escalate to a point of no-return where violence or major consequences can be the result. It's much more favorable to take a moment of silence and relax than to participate in high-intensity exercises of relationship conflict.

EARTH SIGNS

(Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn + Diamonds Birth Card Holders)

King of Spades

Libra Zodiac Constellation period

Keywords: The Judge. The Scales of Libra.

Earth signs... it's getting strict. This can be you or someone that you're dealing with but someone is coming down hard with an iron fist of justice during this eclipse period. King of Spades speaks of having strong convictions and putting them into action. It's likely that you or someone else is seeing things from absolute perspectives with very little room for gray area. This is due to principles or values that provide a sense of direction for someone's moral compass. With this card comes a heavy emphasis on the logical answer and factual sequences of events. However, the King of Spades has to be mindful of blindspots that lack the nuance of intuition when making final rulings or judgments. There are complexities to the circumstances you're faced with where the use of extremes can be too polarizing to help you reach the right answer. Big judgment card energy is coming through with this King of Spades. So remember it's not about doing things their way or your way, it's God's way that delivers the final verdict. In that case, you're advised to move with divinity and universal spiritual wisdom for a favorable outcome during this eclipse period.

CLOSING MESSAGE

This is quite the weigh-in we have here for this new moon eclipse in Libra. Your spiritual baggage is getting checked and weighed on the scales of Ma'at. The good thing is we have a forgiving, loving energy supporting us right now. Additionally, the stars are aligning to support what's in our best interest. Whatever has to go, let it go! Nothing should come at the cost of your health, the relationships you have with your loved ones, and your spiritual ascension. Happy Solar Eclipse!

Godspeed.
