On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse in Aries will occur, affecting a large portion of the United States. Rachel (R.H.) Stavis, a renowned exorcist and energy specialist, describes the eclipse as a time for transformation and renewal in our energy. She encourages embracing change and growth, overcoming mental blocks, and clearing anything that holds us back during this time.
The word “eclipse” originates from the Greek term meaning “to forsake a usual place,” symbolizing a departure from stagnant energies that do not serve us. Stavis emphasizes the importance of acknowledging both light and dark energies within ourselves and integrating our shadows. By accepting and understanding our darkness, we can achieve balance and wholeness.
The solar eclipse coincides with Mercury retrograde, inviting us to revisit past patterns, revise limiting beliefs, and reconcile our past experiences with our present needs. Stavis advises reflecting on elements of our darkness that no longer serve us, releasing negative energies, and integrating positive aspects into our light energy. This period is about embracing happiness, joy, new beginnings, and blessings as we move forward.
Stavis provides spiritual recommendations and rituals for the eclipse, such as cleansing our homes with a spring blend of herbs and scents, including rose petals, lavender, amber resin, rosemary, and frankincense. Creating an outdoor bonfire to release negative energy symbolizes reclaiming our fire energy and clearing the path for a new energetic season.
The eclipse falls in the zodiac sign of Aries, emphasizing the themes of autonomy and connection. Stavis encourages exploring reciprocity in relationships and offering spring’s gifts as a token of gratitude and balance. She suggests taking a salt bath during or after the eclipse to rid oneself of stagnant energy and visualize a renewal process taking place within.
