Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and one thing that really caught my eye was the solar eclipse conjunct my natal ascendant. I mean, it sounds intense, right? So, I decided to track it and see what, if anything, happened.
Getting Started
First, I pulled up my natal chart. I already knew my rising sign, but I needed the exact degree. I use this website. Turns out, my ascendant is at 15 degrees Leo.
Next, I looked up upcoming solar eclipses. I found one that was going to be pretty close to that 15-degree mark. It was happening in a few months, so I marked it on my calendar. I set a reminder on my phone, too – gotta stay on top of this!
The Waiting Game
Honestly, the hardest part was waiting. I kept wondering, “Is something big going to happen?” I read some stuff online about eclipses bringing about major changes and shifts, and I got a little nervous. But mostly, I was just curious.
Tracking the energy
About before the eclipse,I start to track my energy and the feelings or mood that I have.
- I feel some change in my body, maybe that is subtle.
- The weather is good so I decide to be outside more.
- I start to write my thoughts.
Eclipse Day!
The day of the eclipse finally arrived. I made sure I could see it (safely, of course – don’t want to burn my eyes out!). I sat outside and just…observed. I didn’t really feel anything specific during the eclipse itself. It was more like a quiet, introspective time.
After the Eclipse
Okay, so here’s where it gets interesting. In the weeks after the eclipse, I noticed some shifts. Nothing crazy dramatic, but definitely noticeable:
-
I started feeling more confident in putting myself out there. I’ve always been a bit shy, but I found myself speaking up more in meetings and even started a new project I’d been putting off.
-
I reconnected with some old friends. It wasn’t anything I consciously planned, but we just happened to run into each other, and it felt really good to catch up.
-
I got this weird urge to redecorate my apartment. I ended up painting my living room and bought some new plants. It sounds small, but it made a big difference in how I felt in my space.
My Takeaway
So, did the solar eclipse conjunct my ascendant change my life? I wouldn’t say it was some massive, earth-shattering event. But it definitely felt like a catalyst. It was like it nudged me in a new direction, helped me shed some old skin, and step into a slightly more “me” version of myself. I am so excited for what I am going to do in the future.
It’s been a cool experiment, and I’m definitely going to keep paying attention to these astrological transits. You never know what you might discover!
