Arggh, 8th April!!! Thanks @Lunasel 
@Oliver - could the title be edited please!
I know we still haven't even had the Lunar Eclipse yet, but couldn't resist starting this one early. Especially given that the Eclipse effects usually start a month or so before it happens, so we should be feeling the energies already
And what a chart it is! Never seen anything like it!
Sun, Moon and Chiron literally all at the same degree of 19°24' Aries, what are the odds?
It's an interesting one, as with the Lunar Eclipse Libra, there is the Moon and South Node ruler Venus, in Pisces, conjunct Saturn.
With this Solar Eclipse, there is the Eclipse and North Node ruler Mars ....in Pisces, conjunct Saturn.
So, Saturn Pisces is the common denominator here in both Eclipses.
Mars conjunct Saturn Pisces, with the Eclipse conjunct Chiron. Not exactly Netflix and a bag of Maltesers territory! This could be a heavy one. The phrase "collective wounding" comes to mind, Pisces being a collective sign, and Chiron being about unresolved wounds.
However, Chiron despite the unhealed wound, is no pushover. Chiron is not the type that gives up, or gives in, easily. Not the type that sits around moping and feeling sorry for himself. Always striving to find workarounds, coping mechanisms, and strategies to manage the wound, and then teaching it to others.
With Aries, that proactive approach may be more apparent. Without sounding like a cheesy life coach seminar, this could be about giving others the tools to lead themselves, so that they can help lead others around them. Helping others TO help themselves, rather than just helping by simply doing things for another person (without their own input).
Give a man a fish to eat for the day? Or give him the fishing rod to get his own tasty fish suppers for a lifetime?
Not forgetting, this is tightly opposite the South Node Libra. So a real courageous push out of codependence, and unhealthy relating patterns where there is too much giving/too much taking. The remedy (Chiron) is to give another (Libra) total autonomy (Aries) to lead themselves (Chiron) and gain their own sense of independence, which may prove to be beneficial for recovery.
Mars conjunct Saturn, although on paper it can be a tricky one, could say it's about blocks to movement, obstacles in going forward, and especially in Pisces, which tends towards the directionless.
However, Mars combined with Saturn can be a force to be reckoned with. Drive meets determination, and with Pisces, it can be limitless. It may feel like goals can be achieved effortlessly, and with a sense of unwavering belief
even if it is truly a hard task, with it closely sextile Jupiter, there will be buoyancy and a mission-oriented feel to it, being done for a purpose.
Mercury Retrograde is conjunct this eclipse, so we're already in reviewing mode, tracing back our steps, revisiting issues. So the Chiron themes may be nothing new, and with Chiron, it's often old issues that haven't been resolved or managed. So, old issues may come to the forefront of your mind, to be revisited, seen under a different angle, and in hindsight.
This may manifest in returns of themes, situations, even people .... still not forgetting the Libra South Node. Especially people, or old relationship themes, that have hit a sore spot (Chiron) sometime in the past!
Tellingly, Mercury is almost at the same degree in both the Lunar and Solar Eclipse...
I think as we get closer, we may get ideas as to what this eclipse will be about. Let's get through the Lunar Eclipse first, things may change!
Chart below - where will this be in your chart?
