The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius arrives on Tuesday morning — the first in a series of eclipses within the Leo/Aquarius axis that will continue for the next two years.
The cycle highlights the tension between “me” and “we,” and the heart and the mind, leading to grand shifts in the way we relate to ourselves and others.
The effects of any eclipse can be felt for up to six months after the event, making the weeks ahead a powerful time for personal growth and collective evolution.
To guide us through these dark skies is author and tarot reader Kerry Ward, who has prepared a tarot pull for this eclipse, featuring her The Light In The Dark Tarot & Oracle deck.
Fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
The Empress
Ward shared that for fire folk, this eclipse focuses your attention on your relationship realm.
“Much has changed, people coming, and some going, and you’re still making sense of it all,” the expert asserted. “What does remain is the knowledge that love IS all. The most important thing is giving and receiving love, prioritizing the right people, nurturing your family and inner circle, and letting others reciprocate the care you deliver.”
She assures that life will feel more loving to and through you in 2026, and the eclipse is that turning point.
“Let love lead,” said Ward.
Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Six of Swords
Ward shared that earth babies may feel the need to strike out on their own under the powerful influence of this eclipse, summoned to go solo by a changing belief or an emerging possibility.
“It started as an idea, a ‘what if…’ moment, and you’ve turned it over and over in your mind until it has become solid, tangible, and robust,” the expert asserted. “It’s time to breathe real life into this fantasy and take the steps to activate its presence in your realm. You won’t have a single regret. Go for it.”
Air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Five of Wands
Ward notes that, for air signs, this eclipse will feel both affirming and galvanizing.
“You’re feeling certain and sure about what you’re doing. And what you’re doing is using truth and direct communication to troubleshoot the issues in your realm,” she said.
Ward calls the season ahead one of repair, resolution, progress, and peace.
“No more fuel for the fires. Bring the compromises and harmonious common ground to any conflict.”
In the spirit of lasting peace, she recommends compassionately seeking the root cause to foster a forever fix.
“The eclipse will bring you accelerated energies, so whatever you start will pick up momentum rapidly, peace plans included.”
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
The High Priestess
“Eclipses stir things up, and the New Moon in Aquarius brings honesty to its peak,” said Ward.
She predicts water folk will be shaken from a revelation that comes from within.
“Your instincts and intuition are speaking to you through psychic messaging or visions, dreams, whispered voices, signs and omens, or major coincidences and de ja vu. Tune in,” she advised.
Ward notes that the insights you are receiving on and around the eclipse will be of benefit to you for the next six months and beyond.
“They are your north star towards the things in life that you truly desire and deserve. Follow the signs.”
