I have question about 2024's April Solar eclipse.

It's personal so normally I'd keep it to myself but you did ask.

April 20th is a cusp day. So I thought. It's also my birthday. This year taking the hint from a friend to check out the astrology for April this year for myself I suddenly realised that I'd been wrong. All my life I'd believed my sun sign was Aries, like my grandfather. I was classic Aries/ Mars / Firey fire sign. Then suddenly I wasn't. At age 50. The day itself was like an acid trip. I posted the keys to my parents home to the estate agent ( we'd sold the property, after loosing both of them in a nightmareish six months in 2021 ) I watched a Merlin ( a rare and diminutive falcon) circle their grave at the cemetery then drove the 4 hour return journey to England. I spoke to no one, but was well aware of the astrology frantically tracking the suggestions being made by Eric as to what to expect. So now I'm Taurus and it feels just fine, thankyou, like that's what it should have been all along.

My question then is this: Does this seem plausible, has Karma been at work such that all that- had sat there waiting for me to reach that moment in time, my fiftieth during an eclipse season, loosing my mum and her lovely devoted man and having to say goodbye and suddenly noticing that i wasn't even me anymore ( or part of me or however it works? ). With all that's implied by Taurus having its twelfth house in Aries it all seems incredibly apt. Makes a good yarn to tell the grandkids if I'm ever lucky enough to rope some in, whatever.

First, my condolences on losing both parents.

Second, on the cusp issue, my dad was born on the cusp of Gemini. Looking back I realize that during his life, he exhibited the talents and defects of Taurus and Gemini, but a bit more of Gemini.

Third, I'm an Aries too, and I've done many Arietic things in my life. But I recently discovered that Scorpio is more like me. It was a fun discovery, not traumatic at all. I grew up in Sarcastistan, so change is fun. Many things now make more sense than before. It was also fun to verify that in the Sidereal zodiac my sign is Pisces, which also makes a ton of sense in my case.

Same. I prefer Taurus now seems to have levelled me out. Thinking back I had had dreams early in May, probably twenty years ago now, where I'd met a white bull in a stall, as i say around the first of May.Also countless dreams about herds of cattle in the cave paintings in Lascaux, which in itself sounds like a pun.

Thanks for responding Agent Roger. It was 2022 that my mum passed not 2021 as i originally wrote her partner had died in May just six months before.

Thank you for that 2005 link. I will peruse it.

There is a trend to try to use electromagnetism to explain everything. I don't know if people realize the Gravity of the situation.

ahem.

Astrology question: Lunar nodes. There is true and mean. What's the interpretation of that? What are the reasons to prefer one over the other?

wait, I read somewhere that gravity does not exist and Newton was an idiot.

Looking foward to that.
