SOLAR ECLIPSE AQUARIUS: Seven of Swords
Sun and Moon 28° Aquarius- 7 of Swords / Aquarius III / Moon in Aquarius
This Solar Eclipse arrives at 28 degrees of Aquarius, marking a powerful moment of revelation, truth, and awakening. Eclipses accelerate change and expose what has been hidden, and this one activates the third decan of Aquarius, associated with the Moon in Aquarius and the tarot archetype of the Seven of Swords.
The Seven of Swords is often known as the card of deception or concealment. Traditionally, it depicts a figure quietly taking swords and looking back as they attempt to leave unnoticed. It can represent hidden motives, dishonesty, or situations where something is not being fully revealed. Sometimes this energy shows up externally, but it also invites us to examine where we may not be fully honest with ourselves.
With the decan ruled by the Moon in Aquarius, emotional truth and inner awareness come to the forefront. Aquarius seeks authenticity and alignment with higher values, while the Moon reflects our emotional reality. Together, this energy asks us to look at where we may be concealing our true feelings, avoiding difficult truths, or acting in ways that do not fully reflect who we are becoming.
Both the Sun and Moon square Uranus in Taurus, creating tension around security, values, and personal integrity. Uranus disrupts comfort zones and exposes misalignment between what we claim to value and how we actually live. This aspect can bring sudden realizations, unexpected changes, or the awareness that something once accepted is no longer sustainable. The eclipse reveals where authenticity must replace illusion.
The Seven of Swords reflects this process of awareness. Sometimes the “theft” in this card is not external it is the ways we betray ourselves by ignoring our intuition, staying in situations that compromise our truth, or hiding our real intentions out of fear. This eclipse invites us to reclaim integrity and move forward with greater honesty.
At the same time, there is strong spiritual support. Mercury in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer enhances intuition, compassion, and emotional understanding. Venus in Pisces conjunct the North Node points toward a future guided by love, sensitivity, and spiritual growth. These influences encourage healing and the courage to act from the heart rather than fear.
A major collective shift is also reflected in Saturn and Neptune meeting at zero degrees Aries, signaling the beginning of a new cycle where spiritual vision seeks tangible expression. Old illusions dissolve and new realities begin to form.
This Solar Eclipse in Aquarius represents a turning point. The Seven of Swords reminds us that truth cannot remain hidden forever. What has been avoided or concealed comes into the light so that we can move forward with clarity.
This is an invitation to align your actions with your values, honor your emotional truth, and live with greater authenticity. When we choose honesty with ourselves and with others, we step into greater freedom.
