What are the astrology effects of the total solar eclipse? The most affected zodiac signs
The heavens aligned Monday 8 April in an event that could “shake up people’s horoscopes.” But, the impact of the solar eclipse may not be felt right away.
North America welcomed a total solar eclipse on Monday 8 April. The second one visible over the United States in seven years, but there won’t be another one over the Lower 48 for twenty years. Millions flocked to be in the path of totality to experience the sensation of day turning to night as the Moon completely blotted out the face of the Sun.
People who witness these awe-inspiring celestial event say it can have a profound impact on a person. Astrologists say that this one “might shake up people’s horoscopes.”
The meaning of the total solar eclipse in astrology
On an astrological level, the total solar eclipse will occur in Aries, which is the first sign of the zodiac, suggesting a period of complete transformation and new beginnings. According to the author and astrologer Bri Luna, the phenomenon will encourage us to “step outside of our comfort zone,” since Aries stands out for being one of the most confident and courageous signs. However, the event will occur during Mercury in retrograde.
Mercury is distinguished for being the planet that rules communication. Because it will be in retrograde, astrologers warn about feeling some confusion and challenges in communication during the days leading up to the total solar eclipse and even afterward.

The signs most affected by the solar eclipse on April 8
According to Maressa Brown, a journalist and astrologer based in Los Angeles, the impact of the eclipse will be closely related to your astrological chart, which is the position in which the planets, the Sun and the Moon aligned at the time of your birth. That said, Brown points out that those who were born with a planet, moon or sun within five degrees of 19 degrees Aries they will be the most affected.
It is worth mentioning that people with positions in Aries will not be the only ones who will experience changes, the cardinal signs (Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) will also be prone to transformation, especially if they have planets around 19 degrees of these signs.
In the case of Cancer, the conversions will happen in their professional life, while Libras can expect changes in the romantic and professional life . Finally, Capricorns “might find they’re moving in a new direction when it comes to their home life and relationships with loved ones.”
