Astrology IRL, a new line of cosmic clothing designed by Morgan Rehbock and Romina Cenisio, has hit OC! Check out our photoshoot of the collection on OC friends and fam, as well as Zodiac expert Morgan's guide to eclipse season.
Have you been feeling some type of way and don't know why? You've fallen into the eclipse portal, and you're going to need a power far greater than Style.com to navigate the tumultuous planetary trends of Spring/Summer 2014. Essentially, eclipses are positive because they move us forward, but the stress of adjusting to instantaneous and unexpected change can sometimes be difficult to handle. It's like signing up for a restorative Vinyasa class and accidentally attending an acrobatic yogalates workshop. This year, we have four eclipses that will bring into question our relationships to reality. We've already lived through the first (in Libra) on April 15, which brought about changes to our partnerships with people and universal energy, as Libra is the sign of relationships. Mars, planet of action, added an aggressive edge to the energy of our first eclipse. You still might be in the process of updating your mindset (and maybe your contact list), but it is time to start thinking about the eclipse in Taurus that can be anticipated on April 28 (or 29 depending on your time zone). Consider your talents and your values. How can you express your unique and positive spirit more fully?
Besides the two eclipses, April also hosts a notoriously negative aspect called the Cardinal Cross, which will make our mid-month eclipse portal a seriously powerful wormhole that will suck you into spring with a whole new outlook. Eclipse awareness is important for the whole Zodiac, but everyone should take a slightly different approach. The cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) will be feeling the vibes hardcore this month, seeing the most real and direct changes with the biggest gains and losses. Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) will have their stubborn mindset challenged by the eclipse in Taurus on April 28 as well as the retrograde of Saturn in Scorpio that requires a change of plans between now and July 20. The mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) will, of course, be going with the flow as usual, but they will definitely experience contact highs (and lows).

Your ruling planet, Mars has been retrograde in Libra, the sign of relationships, since March 1, making your romantic entanglements and best-friendships the focus. If you've been suffering from low energy or lack of motivation, blame it on the draining planetary influence of Mars in retrograde. Unlike quick moving Mercury, Mars has a slower burn that might keep you out until May 20. I recommend strength-building exercises and increased physical awareness to combat fatigue during this period of strategic challenge. You may be feeling passive aggressive while Mars is in Libra, and one way to avoid raging in your personal life would be to take up a Martian hobby like kickboxing or Muay Thai. April's eclipses and the cardinal cross will have a motivating effect, as they ask you to make serious changes to your love life, career, and home. Don't get too frustrated if things feel temporarily stuck until Mars (May 20) and Saturn (July 20) come out of retrograde. The planets do have your back, even if some of them are temporarily MIA.
