#solar eclipse in Libra

[calmwaterstarot]

What can we expect from 2024 dear!?? 😌

2024 has a lot going on; there are so many astrological transits happening that have a huge impact on all of us.

January 1, 2024: Mercury went direct after being in retrograde for several weeks. This means communication gets better, legal documents can be signed without issues, and anything related to speech is cleared up.

January 20 - September 1, 2024: Pluto enters Aquarius. This is going to be a wild ride. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was around the late 1700's, and during that time, the world underwent MASSIVE change. Both the American and French Revolutions occurred, coups happened with governments, royalty was dethroned, battles and wars were fought, the first wave of feminism began, etc. There's so much more than this. You should see the list. I'll include it here--start around 1777 and go through 1798. Pluto represents death, rebirth, and transformation, while Aquarius represents humanity and technology. When you pair these two, you're looking at major transformation socially, politically, economically, and technologically. There's a brief retrograde into Capricorn for one last time during our lifetime, and then Pluto will return to Aquarius for another 20 years. It's interesting to note that the rise and fall of empires throughout history is around 250 years. The cycle for Pluto is 245 years. Coincidence? I think not.

February 16, 2024: A stellium in Aquarius. A stellium occurs when three or more planets are in the same house/sign in an astrological chart. This Aquarius stellium will feature Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto. The last time this occurred was in February, 1962, and was commonly referred to as the "Age of Aquarius." This time period brought about major changes in the fields of technology, science, and aerospace. I'm afraid that during this time, though, there will be a strong focus on AI and its advancement. Pay attention to headlines regarding an upgrade in technology.

March 25, 2024: Lunar eclipse in Libra. Major historical events typically coincide with lunar eclipses, and since this one will be in Libra, I foresee society wishing for balance, harmony, peace, and justice. I believe this will be a time that humanity will call for us to take a deeper look at how we can end strife and get along with each other. Be ready for major calls for wars and upheaval to end (even though it's happening now, this will be on a much larger scale with this eclipse).

April 8, 2024: Solar eclipse in Aries. On the flip side of the lunar eclipse, we have the solar eclipse in Aries. This will be a time where we start anew and are ready to charge down a new path. Mars' energy represents war, destruction, violence, revenge, but also strength. This particular eclipse is warning us about war and destruction on a collective level because it'll be conjunct the North Node (the direction we're all going). I believe we're headed into a total collapse and rebirth when we add in the Pluto in Aquarius energy, but it's something that needs to happen for us to evolve as a civilization.

May 25, 2024: Jupiter in Gemini, which is actually in detriment. This means the energy is weaker in this sign for the planet. Expect changes in telecommunications (voice, data, and video) and social media, since Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication.

June 2, 2024: Neptune is anaretic. Anaretic means that a planet has entered the 29th degree, which holds a sense of finality because this planet has transited all 30 degrees (starting at 0). It's ready to move on and cut ties. What does this mean for Neptune? Well, the planet of illusions will lift its veil and a lot of what we've held onto in our beliefs will die out. Some people will still try to hold on (sunk-cost fallacy) because they're stubborn, but the majority of people will release, mourn, and deal with the fallout that's going to be super messy. Imagine the feeling of being betrayed by someone you love. That's what Neptune lifting it's veil is going to feel like for most. Again, collectively, we NEED this energy for healing and spiritual growth.

July 21, 2024: Full Moon in Capricorn. Most of the time, nothing major happens on full moons, but this one is interesting because it falls on an anaretic degree, just like Neptune. Capricorn represents structure, discipline, rigidity, and order (its ruler is Saturn), so we're going to see some upheaval in regards to these issues. The old way of doing things will no longer serve the same purpose. This is the equivalent of saying, "Out with the old, in with the new."

August 5, 2024 – August 28, 2024: Mercury Retrograde in Virgo and Leo. With Mercury rx in Virgo, this might be a time where you lose or misplace documents, feel irritated, have constant miscommunication, or face scrutiny from the general public. Remember to write down important deadlines and keep everything organized so you don't lose anything. With Mercury rx in Leo, I'm fully expecting some celebrity scandals during this time. Otherwise, it'll be a time of thinking about trying something new or wanting to get out and do something fun.

September 17, 2024: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. This will happen in the 25th degree (an Aries degree), so anyone with heavy Pisces placements will have creative breakthroughs during this time. We'll see a rise in great music, art, poetry and literature, as well as film and visual arts. This time period might feel very dreamy and whimsical on the art scene.

October 2, 2024: Solar Eclipse in Libra. We had the lunar eclipse in Libra in March, so now, the solar eclipse will bring justice and balance. Anyone with Libra placements in early degrees will feel the need to purge what's not working. Even though most Librans are peaceful, this will be a time of upheaval. Expect people to help the oppressed even more (seeking justice) in a world that needs to be more fair and balanced (Libra energy).

November 19, 2024: Pluto goes direct in Aquarius for twenty years, until March 8, 2043. Buckle up! It's going to be a bumpy-but-necessary ride.

November 25, 2024 – December 15, 2024: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius. We all know what happens during Mercury rx, but what happens when it's in Sagittarius? Sagittarius represents higher education and learning, all things foreign and travel-related, religion, and spirituality. Expect religious or spiritual leaders, as well as educational leaders at universities, to have private documents leaked, misinformation stemming from foreign countries and media, as well as travel issues (delays, being rerouted, lots of crowds, etc.). This will not be a good time to travel.

December 6, 2024 – February 24, 2025: Mars Retrograde in Cancer and Leo. This is going to be...interesting. Mars hates being in Cancer; it's in detriment. Why? Cancer represents empathy and compassion, while Mars represents a more masculine energy that strives towards war, violence, and destruction. Cancer wants to provide a resolution to all of the conflict occurring, while Mars isn't having it. Expect masculine energies, especially men, to be more irritated and aggressive during this time. This duo can bring about discussion regarding balancing masculine and feminine energy, which we all have. Because Cancer is represented by the Moon, or the "mother" in astrology, expect some discussions about fertility and reproduction, birth rates (especially the low birth rates of some countries), marriage (or lack thereof), and any social dynamics with males and females. These discussions will carry over into 2025.

2024 is going to be a year that'll go down in history, that's for sure. One silver lining in all of this is that Venus does NOT retrograde this year, so we might see or hear about fewer breakups, and we might see or hear about more people entering into relationships and staying together.

October 2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's October Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock.

Here's a graphic from honeycomb.co showing the exactness of planetary transits throughout the month as well:

September Recap: We're starting the month in the middle of eclipse season (there was a lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17th). Chris talks about how the biggest intensity of events usually occurs within 10 days on either side of an eclipse. For example, on the 10th there was the US Presidential debate, which fell in Harris's 10th house/North Node and indeed represented an improvement in her public image. The Vice Presidential debate also takes place today, October 1st, right before the next eclipse. Another Pisces eclipse story is the second assassination attempt on Trump--Chris & Austin connect these to the close square of Uranus on his natal Mars and on top of his natal Midheaven. Using nativities, Chris points out that for the past 20 years the winning presidential candidate has had an eclipse in an angular house, which would point towards Harris winning. However, using zodiacal releasing, Trump is set to enter a new era of prominence in April of next year--whether from presidency or another set is unclear. There are a lot of factors indicating this year's election (and the time between then and the inauguration period!) will be confusing and full of surprises.

Another eclipse story is Israel's attack on Lebanon--the pagers were detonated on the day of the Pisces eclipse. The current war in Palestine began under last year's Libra eclipse, and escalation with Iran occurred along an eclipse as well. They predict October 2nd may very well be the date Israel starts a ground offensive into Lebanon, with implications of a regional war (A/N: this episode was recorded September 29th). There will be another eclipse in Aries before the nodes move off this axis, but the Pisces eclipse's coincidence with the electronics attacks and assassination of Nasrallah may be foreshadowing another 2 years of conflict.

The Pisces eclipse also highlighted Saturn's transit through Pisces: the OceanGate submarine wreck was finally found (crushed during Saturn rx), as well as the sunken wreck of the Erebus, a 19th-century polar exploration vessel. In other water disasters, Hurricane Helene ravaged much of the Appalachian US, the worst storm in a century for many cities and small towns. There were also devastating floods in Europe, Nigeria, and India and typhoons hitting much of East Asia.

October 2nd - Solar eclipse in Libra

Immediately afterwards, the Sun and Moon move towards a square with Mars, boding ill for world events with its significations of war, anger, and aggression. Eclipses on a particular axis often indicate a series of events over about a year and a half (this one began early October), so we know already know which stories are going to wrap up to make way for something new. In our personal lives changes may be for the better--for example, for one viewer this indicates the end of a relationship making room for a new one. Mercury has just separated from a cazimi with the Sun (11♎), and Mars is waiting at 15 Cancer to square all of these planets after they conjoin each other. The changes will take place abruptly, jarringly, and painfully for some. Eclipses shock us, even when they're positive. Mars-Mercury indicates arguments, fighting words, and foul language (goes direct at 17 Libra/Cancer on the 6th). Be careful with your words, as this may represent a longer conflict than you realize, as Mars enters its pre-retrograde shadow period soon after:

Like all retrogrades, Mars brings revisions, repeats, and unexpected delays. With Mars hanging out in the same few degrees of Cancer & Leo for awhile, we'll be spending a lot of time and energy in those areas of our chart. Mars retrograde can work well for those born under one, though--for Mars rx natives sometimes it's when big projects finally come to fruition with them.

During the Mars-Mercury conflict, we will have some support: Venus (14♏) will trine Saturn (14♓) on the 4th-5th, and on the 8th she'll (18♏) trine Mars (18♋) with reception. She comes in to offer a bit of a salve after the chafing of Mars contacts. Also on that day, soon-to-retrograde Jupiter (21♊) will trine Mercury (21♎) with reception, soothing some of the previous hard aspect to Mars. These are the kinds of situations where a terrible accident occurs, but you miraculously escape major injury. This can also represent extremes of good and bad happening at the same time.

October 6th - Mercury square Mars (discussed above)

October 9th - Jupiter stations retrograde He's going to hang out in the same few degrees of Gemini for a long time. See eclipse above for some details on transits leading up to this.

October 11th - Pluto stations direct From the 11th-13th Pluto, while slowing down and stationing, squares Mercury as the inner planet moves from Libra to Scorpio. We've been having Pluto stations in Capricorn since 2008-9, and this is the last he'll be in Capricorn for the rest of any of our lifetimes. Mercury brings the underworld planet's hidden matters to light: think investigative journalism, mystery stories, and exposés on dark scandals. Conversely, we can also see manipulation, control, and suppression of information by forces who prefer to remain in the shadows. Pluto is like a doorway to the underworld: it both plunges things into obscurity and brings up secrets from the depths. This is one last burst of intensity in late Capricorn/cardinal signs for those of us who've been feeling its effects--think of molting, with its vulnerabilities and benefits alike. This also marks the end of the United States' Pluto return--an uncertain evaluation of the next 250 years.

October 13th - Mercury enters Scorpio

October 14th - Sun square Mars While the Sun (21♎) squares Mars (21♋) with Jupiter (21♊) attempting to mediate by trining the Sun, Venus (26♏) opposes Uranus (26♉). With Uranus-Venus we may see some surprises in our relationships. (Chris notes Mercury is at 01Scorpio this day, same as Kamala Harris's natal chart, so the news will probably be about her.)

October 17th - Aries Full Moon, Venus enters Sagittarius

Normally we'd breathe a sigh of relief that eclipse season is over, but the luminaries (🌙:24♈,🌞:24♎) are coming right off a square to Mars (22♋), and are headed right into a square with Pluto (29♑). Thus, by the end of the month, Mars and Pluto begin to oppose each other, an intense configuration that will stay with us for the rest of the year thanks to Mars's retrograde. Don't ignore the little issues that Mars is highlighting in your life; nip things in the bud or keep an eye on them because the problems will only intensify over the next few months. The Mars-Pluto opposition will go exact right around election day in the US, or early November. Thus this full moon sets an ominous tone for the months ahead.

Mars signifies cutting, separation, and conflict, while Pluto takes themes to their utmost extremes, making the small massive and the massive small (think of a mushroom cloud explosion borne from mere atoms colliding). Combined, this indicates annihilation, survival responses, severe overreactions, power struggles, aggression & confrontations, manipulation and control. Other keywords are ruthlessness, forcefulness, and lashing out at perceived enemies, real or imagined. Pluto really enjoys hidden power as well--we may fall for decoys of where the real power lies. Unfortunately this strongly overshadows the US election. Overall, with Pluto involved we can't see clearly, so paranoia and conspiracies abound. It can also indicate horrific acts coming to light, like CBS News publishing the first photographs of torture at Abu Ghraib during the Mars-Pluto opposition of late April 2004, and financial developments like the 2008 bank crashes.

In our personal lives, this may be a period of extreme mental or physical exertion where you accomplish more than you thought possible. Austin cautions us not to react to negative things in a way that makes the situation worse, which is our impulse with Mars in Cancer. Sometimes we have to accept that events beyond our power--control what you can and accept what you can't. Uranus in Taurus will also get folded into this background tension via sextile with Pluto.

October 22nd - Sun enters Scorpio

October 25th - Auspicious electional date

This is a difficult month, but if you have to do something important, the 25th is a good time. A few different times will work; Chris likes around 3PM local time, adjusting until the Ascendant is at about 20 Aquarius. This makes the ruler Saturn in the 2nd house in a day chart, good for financial matters. The Leo Moon applies to a sextile with Jupiter, boding well for earthly events--as long as you can catch it when the moon is applying (at a lower degree; moving towards the aspect) rather than separating (at a higher degree, moving away). (Viewers on the West Coast of the US, for example, may have to move it back a day.) With 20Aquarius rising you get a nice, supportive trine from Jupiter in the 5th house, good for games and leisurely activities. Venus in the 11th house is also helpful, and in Denver they were able to get her near the Midheaven as well, though it's not a dealbreaker if you can't get that to line up. Venus in the 11th, ruled by Jupiter, does well with friends and alliances. Furthermore, though she is applying to a square with Saturn, in this chart it has her in contact with the Ascendant ruler, affirming and supporting you and the actions you take at this time. Not recommended for health or routine matters with a cranky day chart detriment Mars in the 6th house, and beware of Pluto in the 12th house of hidden enemies and self-undoing. Thus, it's not ideal, but we can get some things done.

October 28th - Venus square retrograde Saturn Venus would normally be happy to get out of her detriment Scorpio and into a neutral sign like Sagittarius, but she has to get past this square to Saturn before she can really party. However, this does put her in a whole-sign opposition to Jupiter while being received by him (in his domicile), giving a silver (copper) lining to everything else going on. When one benefic is setting, the other is rising for us.

October 30th - Mercury opposes Uranus (not pictured) At 25 of Scorpio and Taurus respectively, this may be an "October surprise" news scandal (or events in our personal lives).

Ritual Love 9.9.24

Whispering my love into your ears as you sleep, wondering where within your mind it seeps

Does it crush those negative self-talk beliefs?

Does it soothe your resting heartbeats?

Kissing your forehead, your pineal gland, wondering if you feel where it lands

Does it awaken your tender soul?

Does it gently comfort the places left cold?

Does it soften, does it sink in, does it...show you, does it fill you, does it linger and hold?

Solar Eclipse in Libra and how it can affect you (Oct 14, 2023)

Who might be more affected by the Eclipse

Libra Sun; Aries Sun Those with planets, asteroids, or points in Aries or Libra Especially North Node / South Node in Aries or Libra.

Pay attention if you have one of these placements close to 21 degrees,

+ and add the following questions to your interpretation:

In which house does the Eclipse sign fall?

The Solar Eclipse will occur in Libra. This means that we should look at the house where Libra is on the cusp to understand where Libra's energy may be more active during this period.

Is there any planet in the sign where the Eclipse will occur?

This point is extremely relevant. If there is a planet in the sign of Libra, it will signify even more activation of the Eclipse's energy in your life. What I mean is that regardless of the existence of a planet in Libra, you will be affected because you most likely have Libra in one of the house cusps. Moreover, if you have Libra in planets in your natal chart, it will indicate even more activation, do you understand?

Below are the meanings of the possible effects:

North Node in Libra / South Node in Aries

A Solar Eclipse in Libra aligned with the South Node in Aries signals a time of karmic resolution in matters related to individualism, assertiveness, and personal desires, urging you to let go of past behaviors that may have hindered your growth, and encouraging a shift towards more balanced, cooperative, and harmonious approaches in your life and relationships.

Some possibilities:

Alignment with Life Path: The Solar Eclipse in Libra emphasizes the qualities and themes associated with the North Node in Libra. This alignment signifies a pivotal moment in your life where you're being encouraged to move toward the traits of Libra, such as balance, harmony, cooperation, and relationships.

Releasing Past Patterns: The Solar Eclipse in Libra can prompt you to release past behaviors associated with Aries qualities, such as impulsiveness, impatience, and self-centeredness.

Karmic Clearing: Eclipses often trigger karmic clearing, where you confront unresolved issues from the past. This may involve letting go of past actions or ego-driven behaviors.

Closure in Relationships: Relationships or situations that have been marked by conflict, assertiveness, or individualism could reach a point of closure. This can be a time to resolve conflicts and move on.

Emphasis on Cooperation: You may feel an internal push to embrace cooperation and compromise as opposed to individual competition and confrontation.

Letting Go of Aggression: The eclipse may signify a opportunity to release of pent-up aggression or anger, leading to a more harmonious and peaceful way of relating to others.

Stepping Back: This period encourages you to step back from the need to be in control or to be the center of attention, allowing you to adopt a more balanced approach to life.

Exploring New Roles: You may be guided to explore new roles and situations where you're not always in the lead but can play a supportive or diplomatic role.

Reconnecting with Past: The eclipse could bring people or situations from your past back into your life, giving you a chance to revisit and resolve conflicts or unfinished business.

Resolving Ego Challenges: You may face challenges related to your ego, identity, and sense of self. This can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Healing Wounds: As you release Aries-driven behaviors, you may find healing and closure related to past emotional or relational wounds.

Balancing Self-Interest: The eclipse encourages you to balance your own interests and desires with the needs and interests of others, promoting a more equitable approach to life.

Realigning Priorities: You may reassess your priorities and goals to focus more on cooperation, fairness, and harmonious relationships.

Diplomatic Transformation: This period can facilitate a transformation in your diplomatic and conflict resolution skills, making you more adept at finding peaceful solutions.

Learning to Let Go: The South Node in Aries represents a past comfort zone. The eclipse may challenge you to step out of that zone and learn to let go of behaviors that no longer serve your growth.

Enhancing Patience: Patience, a quality often associated with Libra, may become more prominent in your approach to life and relationships.

Release of Aries Energies: The South Node in Aries represents qualities and behaviors from your past that you should release. The Solar Eclipse may prompt you to let go of impulsive actions, aggression, and excessive self-focus that might have held you back.

Karmic Lessons: Eclipses often bring karmic lessons or events into play. In this case, you're likely to encounter situations and experiences that are linked to your past actions, particularly those related to Aries qualities.

North Node in Aries / South Node in Libra

A Solar Eclipse in Libra aligned with the South Node in Libra heralds a period of karmic closure in relationships, prompting you to let go of past patterns of codependency and seek a more harmonious balance between self-interest and the needs of others, ultimately fostering personal growth, healing, and a move towards greater independence and self-awareness in your interactions.

Some possibilities:

Revisiting Past Relationships: The eclipse may bring individuals or situations from your past back into your life, offering a chance to revisit and resolve past relationship issues or patterns.

Karmic Clearing: Eclipses often trigger karmic clearing and closure. This period can provide an opportunity to release past relationship baggage and free yourself from karmic entanglements.

Letting Go of Codependency: If you have struggled with codependent relationships or a strong desire for validation from others, this eclipse can encourage you to let go of these patterns.

Seeking Balance: The South Node in Libra may suggest a past focus on seeking balance and harmony in relationships to the detriment of your own needs. The eclipse can prompt you to find a healthier balance between self and others.

Relinquishing People-Pleasing: If you tend to be a people-pleaser or excessively accommodating in relationships, this period may challenge you to assert your own needs and boundaries.

Releasing Unhealthy Partnerships: You may be guided to let go of relationships that are no longer serving your growth or that have become unhealthy or imbalanced.

Embracing Independence: The eclipse can encourage you to embrace your independence and develop self-reliance, rather than relying on others for validation or fulfillment.

Discovering Personal Identity: You may use this period to explore and rediscover your personal identity and desires separate from the influence of others.

Self-Reflection and Self-Care: Self-reflection and self-care practices may become more prominent as you seek to heal and rejuvenate your own sense of self-worth and identity.

Balancing Relationships: This eclipse can help you find a new approach to relationships that emphasizes balance and fairness without compromising your own well-being.

Harmonizing the Past: The South Node in Libra suggests past relationship issues. This period offers a chance to harmonize those past experiences and heal unresolved emotional wounds.

Closure and Reconciliation: It's a favorable time for seeking closure and reconciliation in relationships where there have been conflicts or imbalances.

Exploring Past-Life Connections: With the South Node's karmic association, this eclipse may prompt you to explore past-life connections and their influence on your present relationships.

Balanced Decision-Making: You can work on making decisions that consider both your own needs and the needs of others, leading to more balanced choices.

Releasing Relational Baggage: Use this eclipse to let go of any relational baggage and embrace a more peaceful and harmonious approach to your current relationships.

October 2, 2024

This New Moon solar eclipse in Libra is also a South Node eclipse. And along with the Moon and Sun conjoining in their exactness 🌚 just 4° from the South Node, Black Moon Lilith is in exact conjunction with them, and Mercury🗣️ is joining the close-knit party too!

This may bring the beginnings of a new chapter, through confronting the past. Communication, and perhaps communication that involves you standing up for yourself (Lilith), could be relevant topics.

There is also a grand trine🔺in the sky now between Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces. This suggests to me a couple different possibilities for harmonization of Venus and Mars, within a long term scope of greater security🪐. It could involve harmonizing your own “feminine” and “masculine” (or yin and yang) energies. Or it could suggest this occurring within a relationship.

The eclipse is square to Mars, and as it’s also exactly conjunct Black Moon Lilith, this does honestly make me think of scenarios where women may experience getting the upper hand, or taking their power back in some way.

There’s some intense activation of energies in the atmosphere now! I subscribe to the view that eclipses are gonna eclipse, no matter how you try to resist or control things, and that they can actually force change in some cases. Having awareness of the astrological climate in the case of an eclipse, including where it falls in your own chart, can help you keep your eyes open in the appropriate areas for developments or insight/intuition that may come. And simply prioritizing awareness, without much active effort to control right at this time, is going to likely be for the best until this passes.

Wishing signs of hopeful newness for all of us. 💖

Energy Update: Solar Eclipse 21° Libra, 10/14/2023

Note: I've talked about eclipses many times before. I am going to make reference to past posts but try not to cross over too much of the same ground again. Please reference this post for more information.

On Saturday 10/14, we will experience a partial solar eclipse at 21° Libra. This is our first solar eclipse since the lunar nodes switched to the Aries-Libra axis during the month of July. In this way, this is a highly significant lunar event that will set the tone for the eclipse seasons to come over the next two and a half years.

The Set Up

October is an "8" month in a "7" year. During the eclipse, the Sun, Moon, and Mercury will be conjunct in Libra, Venus will be in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, retrograde Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Capricorn. The asteroid Chiron is sitting in conjunction with our North Node in the sign of Aries. All of our outer planets will be in retrograde motion except for Pluto who stationed direct the Tuesday beforehand.

There are a number of transits in play during this lunar event:

Stellium: Sun, Moon, Mercury, and the South Node in Libra (5° orb)

Solar eclipse square Pluto in Capricorn (6° orb)

Mercury in Libra opposed to Chiron in Aries (01° orb)

Venus in Virgo opposed retrograde Saturn in Pisces (04° orb, exact Tuesday)

Mars enters Scorpio (Thursday)

Mars in Scorpio trine retrograde Saturn in Pisces (01°, exact Friday)

Pluto stations direct 27° Capricorn (Tuesday)

Retrograde Neptune in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn

Chiron conjunct the North Node in Aries (7° orb)

When determining the significance of transits, one should consider the most exact transits and all transits involving the lunar event to be highly significant. Second to that, we take into account aspects to our personal planets. Outer planet aspects will color the general feel of the day but will, for the most part, not impact our individual lives.

In this way, we should note a strong opposition between the stellium of our Sun, Moon, Mercury, and the South Node in Libra and Chiron and the North Node in Aries. Additionally, both Venus and Mars are in aspect with Saturn, our planet of restriction and boundaries.

The Nitty Gritty

This solar eclipse will have mixed energy as it combines the energy of new beginnings from the new moon with endings due to its conjunction with the South Node. There is a lot of pain close to the surface which may be stopping us from stepping forward into the new beginning that we are looking for (Chiron conjunct the North Node). This is your cosmic reminder that pain isn't always the STOP sign that we think it is, but instead is more of a check engine light.

Pain tells us that there is something that needs attention.

You may be holding on to something too tightly. Both Venus in Virgo and Mars in Scorpio will be in tight aspect with retrograde Saturn all week. Saturn is often known as the planet of restriction, but this is because he is Father Time. Saturn, like the lunar nodes, is closely associated with the concept of fate - but fate very rarely means what you think that it does. Time is relentless, always marching onwards. If the old adage is the only inevitabilities are death and taxes, Saturn controls both. Saturn is the reminder that as time goes on, some of the options that we kept on the back burner slip away.

Every opportunity in your life has a limited half-life. We just can't do everything. Eventually, we need to choose.

That's where the lunar eclipses come in. Everything is a choice; but eventually, if you don't make a choice, the world moves on. There is an element of analysis paralysis at play here (Libra's greatest weakness) - somebody needs to shit or get off of the pot, metaphorically speaking.

Eclipses are the Big Hitter transits of the year - they tend to feel so far beyond us that it can be overwhelming. Sometimes it can feel easiest to run from this energy or to disassociate and hide your head in the sand. That's not an option when Saturn is in play - Saturn demands that you put in the work in your own life.

It won't feel comfortable for anyone, but those who are showing up, who are trying to make changes, who are keeping their eyes wide open and witnessing their own life - those are the people who will shine through this lunation.

This isn't to say that they will be able to control how the eclipses show up in their lives. Eclipses are wild card energy; the best we can do is enjoy the ride. But if you've made right in your life, if you know what you need to let go of and what you need to draw in - you may recognize it when eclipses give you what you need.

The same old eclipse advice is in play here: Stay VERY AWARE of what doors open and close for you during the upcoming eclipses and the two weeks between these lunar events. Eclipses have a way of aligning you toward your life path (astrology is, in essence, a study of who you are and what you were born to experience in this lifetime). This isn't as restrictive an idea as people would like to believe: there is no one way to walk your "life path" - you always have free will and choice. Still, the natal birth chart especially does highlight the parts of life where you will find the most rich and meaningful experiences.

As the eclipse falls on the Aries-Libra axis, we all - collectively and personally - are struggling in some fashion with the conflict between being true to ourselves (Aries) versus being part of the collective (Libra). With Chiron so tightly in play, we can see that pain is close to the surface. You may find yourself questioning some things you were taught as a child by your family, religious group, or culture - especially if you are undergoing a Saturn return, square, or opposition.

Aries teaches us that it is right - even holy - to be our own true selves. The pain of this individualization process is being highlighted by Chiron and the North Node's conjunction in the sign of the Ram. Chiron shows us that it hurts while the North Node reminds us that we should do it anyway. The one person that you always need to be accountable to is yourself. (Libras especially may find that idea triggering)

In a very triggery week, it is worth remembering that triggers can be sacred things too - they show us the parts of ourselves that need attention. If you are in a space where it is safe to do so, try leaning into the pain rather than away from it. There is a lot to uncover in the weeds during this time.

There is no easy this week. Life is just like that sometimes. Practice your very best self-care if you need it. This energy will lift at the end of the month after we go through our eclipsed Scorpio full moon the weekend before Halloween.

Do you like my work? You can support me by tipping me here on Tumblr or on Kofi. Every little bit helps.

[l3xistentialism]

Under the Libra Solar Eclipse:

⚖️ I am beholden to my truth

⚖️ I am entering new territory focusing on justice

⚖️ When we are all free, then I am free

⚖️ I trust in the spirits that uphold my understanding of self & others

⚖️ I say what’s right and what’s needed, rather than what’s convenient.

⚖️ I seek to understand rather than judge.

[thescorpionmonarch]

A solar eclipse, friday the 13th, and a lunar eclipse close to Halloween are in October.

Spirits want to be heard. Spirits want to help. Spirits are heartbroken by seeing us in pain.

If you have not been checked for a bad behavior yet, you will very hard.

This month has extreme cut off vibes from people, situations, jobs, or vices.

It also has extreme nagging or getting pushed into new relationships, situations, habits, or jobs.

Extreme pushes from commitment or into more commitment

"GO BIG OR GO HOME"

The spirit world is very chatty/social this month. The veil isn't only thin, things are being manifested at a faster rate.

Watch for empathing off of spirits if you aren't into spirits "hopping on" to you like your a horse.

----Some groups do practice that, example voudouisants are into dancing until their vibration rises that a lwa can use them to communicate or pass messages.

Some of you may feel you have the nature for that, but enthusiastic consent for self is self love.

More physical incidences can be seen or heard by spirits to get your attention to pass a message. Many spirits crave big change.

"You aren't alone. Ask Us for help."

Bonfires on both eclipses are a very good idea. Play music, dance, and eat around it. Manifestating with this is very potent.

What isn’t said may be even more important than what is said.

Ask Questions. Being psychic isn’t for everyone. Explore both sides of issues to get to the truth. Write down ideas that come from your dreams and daydreams.

♓︎ Pisces: How you feel and what you say and do manifests in your relationships. A stubborn view or set of rules can cause rebellion in a loved one. A dream or psychic flash in a daydream could alter your way forward. What you think is set to change which pushes you in a new direction. Expect what was unknown to become visible now.

Thank you for being a friend.

Lunations 2024: Solar Eclipse in Libra

This month brings a solar eclipse in Libra on October 2nd. It will last for eight minutes - will it be the eight minutes that change the world? Read on.

This month begins with a solar eclipse in Libra on October 2nd at 18:46 (UT). It’s an annular solar eclipse and it will last for nearly eight minutes. As I wrote this, I started to get a sense of ‘deja vu’, so I looked at the post I wrote about last year’s solar eclipse in Libra. At that time, the news cycles were dominated by the awful events that were playing out in Israel and Gaza, with…

Has anyone else seen angel numbers the past 2 days? 🥰✨️

Solar total eclipse in libra October 2th:

The sun in Libra, mercury in Libra too and Mars in cancer, this eclipse point on the south node of destiny, creating intense interpersonal dynamics and communication frustrations.

We may be feeling extra reactive and emotional today that's why we should take a beat before we say anything. Are we speaking to maintain peace, or to rile up unnecessary drama? We need to avoid saying something we might later regret.

This energy also offers a chance to consider relationships. We may have to step back from some relationships that are no longer serving us and connect with people more deeply.

Love and blessings

Solar Eclipse in Libra (10°)

October 2, 2024

During the solar eclipse on October 2nd, we will be dealing with some serious astrological weather. If you did not know, the solar eclipse is a new moon with a south node conjunction. A new moon is when the sun and the moon are conjunct with a 0° orb. The north node is opposite this lunation which makes the south node also form a conjunction with the new moon. This solar eclipse in Libra is going to force us to finally reach some balance. We are itching to shed the loose skin and the dead weight that is holding us back from progressing. The idealistic nature of Libra keeps us wanting to explore and experience more. By this time you know what your innermost desires are, and we all know the next step is action. Mars in cancer is in a square with all this energy, so my advice is to not let your timidness and insecurity hold you back. Time has come for the things in your life that does not serve you to be left behind. Let go of your limiting beliefs and the relationships that are not fit for where you are going. This is not the time to be fickle and get in your head about decisions that you know need to be made. When you fight the flow you will cause some major inner strife and resentment. As the wind rises, you try to live. Do you live for yourself or do you live for others? Major transformation is on the horizon, make the correct decision to not fight it. We all wish for abundance and prosperity, and to accept this we must make space for it.

Solar Eclipse in Libra 🌞🌚

On October 14, there will be a Solar Eclipse in Libra. Eclipses can shake us up, but bring endings and beginnings that are much needed. We could be considering our connections with others and the balance in our lives during this time.

Eclipses can open a door that was shut, bring news of huge life events, or could lead to a major turning point in your life. Eclipses will try to get us to pay attention to the areas of life that need change.

News can be delivered in a dramatic or strange way. Learn, investigate, and don’t ignore it. Take any messages, whether they are big or small, that you get from an Eclipse as non-negotiable and firm. The Eclipse wants you to have a new experience, so be open to change.

A Solar Eclipse occurs around two weeks before a Lunar Eclipse. News or events related to the Eclipse may not happen on the day of the eclipse itself, but within the week leading up to it. Think back to what happened within the month. We could find out that our Eclipse news came early.

If we suffer under an Eclipse, we should be patient and open-minded. If we don’t like where we end up, we can make changes, but they cannot be backtracking. Eclipses are there to illuminate something in our life. It is there to protect and help us. Always be grateful for the truth, even when it’s hard.

Read more about Eclipses in general here.

The New Moon brings fresh energy into our lives, and this time, since it is in Libra, it brings fresh energy to our relationships. It’s a great time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of Libra, such as establishing more harmony in our environments, establishing a sense of order and balance in our lives, and recognizing the value of partnership. 

But as a Solar Eclipse, this New Moon packs a lot more punch. Eclipses arrive in pairs, and when they shift, we get fresh lessons, experiences and surprises. This Eclipse is the second set that is occurring along the Aries-Libra axis, from April 20, 2023 - March 29, 2025. The first was a Solar Eclipse in Aries, focusing on building our independence and working on assertiveness since April.

On October 14, the Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Libra will bring a six-month cycle of growth surrounding our relationship dynamics and finding balance in our life. This will be a chance to make changes that bring peace and beauty as the end result.

This Eclipse will allow us to let go of connections that are no longer serving us. We will also be letting go of anything that is limiting our relationship dynamics. We can let go of outdated expectations about art, fashion, justice and love. We can discard any interpersonal habits that are no longer serving us, particularly things like being overly accommodating of others and having an excessive reliance on others. 

From always going with our friend’s idea of where to eat to smiling through conversations that crush our spirit, we will be asked to identify where we’re too tied up with other people’s agendas and cut those ropes. Letting go of our preconceived notions about relating to others will allow our systems to evolve more smoothly. This Eclipse reminds us that our interactions with others function better when we own our wants, needs and preferences. When we conceal our truths, we lose the chance for real intimacy. This will allow us more room for us to build bonds that align with our true desires, passion and strengths. 

We may feel compelled to change our routine, which could lead to new solutions and new or innovative ideas, or on personal experience and observation. 

Both our Solar Eclipse in Libra and Lunar Eclipse in Taurus are Venus Ruled. We have just had a Venus Retrograde where we learned some of our lessons about relationships and life’s pleasure. Venus is all about value, money, and how we love. We will notice where playing nice has contributed to power imbalances and notice issues surrounding women’s rights, gender and LGBTQ community, which could inspire us to summon bravery and firepower on behalf of meaningful causes.

With this chaotic energy mixing in with our more gentle and compassionate areas, it could feel confusing. Look out for unneeded arguments, self-sabotage, and financial problems. Balancing these areas, staying grounded and firm in boundaries, and keeping communication open will help us to make it through.

Throughout the weeks following, we will have some other things to look out for that might integrate into our Eclipse lessons. The following weekend Mercury will move into Scorpio, where reassurance will be important, so we should keep lines of communication open when it comes to our closest relationships.

Right before the Lunar Eclipse, the Sun is moving into Scorpio. This mysterious energy can bring up secrets. Don’t go looking for more than necessary. What is important will come to the surface. Focus this powerful energy on yourself.

A Lunar Eclipse paired with the Full Moon in Taurus hits on October 28, beginning an emotionally intense cycle. Our unmet or ignored needs might come forward, leaving us in a crisis of sudden awareness about these things. We might want to act fast, but need to look at the signs around us before we do to find a steady path, rather than lashing out in anger. We will dive more into this Lunar Eclipse in the coming weeks.

It might be worth looking back at what happened the last time there was an Eclipse in Libra. Find themes that surrounded our life back then to get a better understanding of what this Eclipse might mean for us. A Solar Eclipse at the same degree of Libra occurred on October 14, 2004. An Eclipse set along the Aries-Libra axis more recently occurred from 2013-2016.

Whatever rises to the surface, whether it is emotional distress or difficult conversations with someone close to you, don't make snap judgments or decisions. The best way to refresh will be to slow down and tune into what we need moment by moment. We should leave room in our schedules for breathing room against unforeseen events. Refrain from big decisions until after Eclipse season, if possible. Clean, purge and release.

While we’re met with reflection and transformation, it will leave us feeling drained. We will need to reevaluate our life’s balance. Rest and relax as much as possible during this Eclipse weekend. The best thing to do is lay low and allow the universe to work its magic.
