Solar Eclipse Energy - Brittany Galland
Aries Solar Eclipse March 29th, 2025
I’m not gonna lie… EVERYONE around me is struggling with the solar eclipse tomorrow, but I’m not struggling with it at all. That’s how I feel right now, in this moment, we shall see if that’s the case after I finish writing out this post. (I reserve the right to change my mind always!)
I’m an Aries Sun Sign. I have an intense connection to fire. I do things angrily sometimes, I use fire to propel myself to do things. If I get passionate enough about something, I’ll do it NO MATTER WHAT. I love this about myself. I also LOATHE this built-in-to-my-soul feature because when I’m fired up and ready to go, a lot of times the people around me…are not.
This eclipse hits my sun (Aries), and it’s personal. It spotlights my identity, purpose, and vitality. It’s a complete reset for me, a push to step into my authentic self.
My rising sign is Libra (represents the self) and is Aries ruled, being my first house. This means there is double-down feature on my authentic self. It’s highlighting how I present myself, lead, and assert myself. It’s a cosmic call to redefine who BRITTANY really is.
My moon sign is Sagittarius and Google says I should expect a sudden optimistic surge. Yeah, I had to Google some stuff since I’m not an expert, but I’m learning and love all the info I’m gathering.
All of this being said: I have noticed that there are some people in my circle who are REALLY going through it.
I should mention the reason I’m writing this blog post…. I was reflecting after I got a BIG surge of frustration after some of my people expressed their desire to give up on things. It wasn’t an isolated event, persay, but it’s happened multiple times the past two or three days. I got mad (Fire energy much?) that they were struggling so bad and I couldn’t fix it. WHY does everyone feel this way right now? Why am I completely thriving right now? Why do I have to be the one to carry the energy? (Oh hey, ego).
The reason is in our personal astrology. Mine is intensely fired up right now! I’m ready to fucking GO. This pushes buttons sometimes. Other people are not ready to go.
I also know that there is a clash happening. I feel so self-sure right now with my Aries sun and Libra rising, that it’s absolutely frustrating me that others are not. I know when this gets out of hand when I start to feel out of control, or that I feel the need to control others. I feel the need to SHINE and BURN BRIGHT. So it makes me FIRED UP when I feel like I’m tending to my community. My Aries is like “This is MY season, forget everyone else!” My Libra combats this with “What about your people?” I should also mention my Mars is in Cancer and this hints at emotional burnout. Which is totally happening.
Tonight I didn’t like the tone of a member in my household, and I got really SICK of everything. All these emotions came up - Why can’t you just talk nicely? Why do I have to do damage control? Why is everyone around me in such a fucking mood? Why can’t everyone be LIKE ME!?!?!?!? (Yeah, I know, how very Aries of me).
I picked a fight with someone else in my household because I was fired up. NOT COOL. I interpreted their body language very incorrectly and asked in a not-so-nice-voice “What’s your problem?” I had all this fire within me. They were confused. As I washed my dinner plate, I said (in a still irritated voice) that it wasn’t them I was mad at. They asked for a proper apology, which I gave to them because they deserved that. (Okay, so we’re discovering that this eclipse IS affecting me…interesting)
I took the opportunity after my little volcano eruption, to reflect on this. Asking myself what I can do to let my fire burn, but not burn everyone around me. The answers I got?
Ground my fire - imagine my fire illuminating my path (Instead of self sabotaging and setting the whole damn thing on fire)
Tune into my sacral energy - trust my gut and really ask it what’s happening, instead of bursting with negative fire-energy.
Honor my Libra rising and call in harmony - check in with my community and keep connections strong. Remember it’s not all about me alllll the time. I also don’t have to ‘fix’ my community and make them see and feel things the way I do. Hold space.
Wait then act - After the eclipse I need to ‘let the dust settle’ a bit before I really take BIG actions. Everything is heightened for me right now, so I gotta cool off. (I’m imagining Hades from the Disney move ‘Hercules’ saying “IM COOL. IM FINE”)
This eclipse is my cosmic green light to say “lead the way!”. This means I do me. I don’t need to drag others with me. I just have to be that light that illuminates the path for those that are feeling the darkness. I don’t have to burn brighter for them to see it, as that just causes forest fires. I just put one foot in front of the other and others will follow the warmth and glow of my Aries fire path.
I’m not sure how to end a blog, I’ve literally never written one. So I guess, Thanks for reading? Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk? Like and Subscribe?
Seriously, this helped me reflect even deeper and integrate what I know I need to do during this eclipse.
XOXO
