LIBRA NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE
CONNECTION * COMMITMENT * COOPERATION
On October 2nd, the final eclipse of 2024 will take place at 2:49 pm EDT (adjust for your Time Zone) in the Cardinal-Air sign of LIBRA at 10*
ECLIPSES, throughout history, have always been regarded as harbingers of MAJOR CHANGE. They occur at the time of a New (Solar) or Full (Lunar) Moon, with their energy lasting 6 months to a year. They are like Lunations on steroids.
A Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth and this upcoming eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse, meaning that the moon doesn’t, completely cover the sun but leaves an outer rim of light, known as . . . a “ring of fire.” This symbolically represents the balance between the visible and the invisible . . . what is seen and unseen.
ThIs Solar Eclipse in Libra occurs along the Me (Aries)/We (Libra) Axis which will close with the Full Moon in Aries on October 17, 2024. Eclipses won’t occur along this axis for another 19 years, as we’ll shift into the Pisces/Virgo axis in 2025. We had a sneak preview of this new emerging energy with the recent Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17th. (Read previous Report).
LIBRA is the sign of BALANCE * HARMONY * PEACE * JUSTICE and this Solar Eclipse highlights RELATIONSHIPS, both, with SELF & OTHERS.The first step in loving others is to love and honour self.
“This relationship with self is the blueprint for every relationship in life.”
Since Libra is one of the 4 Cardinal Signs, along with . . . Aries, Cancer & Capricorn; (Sun, Moon or Rising Sign), these signs will feel the energy of this eclipse more strongly.
While New Moons call us to set intentions, plant seeds, make plans . . .all triggers for New Beginnings . . . Solar Eclipses signal endings. So we will experience both energies during this Libra New Moon/Solar Eclipse.
Relationships are a major theme during this Libra Lunation.
Ask Yourself:
Am I happy with my relationship with myself?
What (or who) do I need to release from my life to allow new “healthy” beginnings to occur? (The shadow side of Libra Energy is co-dependency & people pleasing).
Are my relationships based on mutual respect, honesty and equality?
This Libra Solar Eclipse is a time to question everything within and around you, not for the sake of disproving it but to understand it and decide if it is right, for you.
Since the moon rules our emotions and Libra highlights balance . . . “Emotional Equilibrium” is one of Libra’s gifts and/or lessons, depending where you sit on the Scales of Justice . . .Libra’s Symbol.
With Sun/Moon/Mercury aligned in Libra SQUARE Mars in Cancer, during this Solar Eclipse . . . If feeling agitated, out of sorts or uncomfortable within or emotionally “out of balance” . . .sit in stillness and allow your intuition to speak to you . . . LISTEN. The mind (Mercury) can play “tricks” with the emotions and Mars, can accelerate feelings, creating inner tension. Cancers urges self-nurturing. BREATHE to restore calmness. “This too shall pass!”
The South Node . . . representing the PAST. As it relates to the COLLECTIVE, this is a time of Karmic Cleansing & Release, as it aligns with the Sun/Moon/Mercury . . . all in LIBRA, during this Solar Eclipse.
In Mundane (World) Astrology:
MOON represents the People
SUN represents the Leader
MERCURY represents Thinking
The ONLY way to make CHANGES In the world is to change the way we think about others . . .“Globally”
On a Personal level . . . the South Node in Libra (see where it is in your Natal Chart, if you have one), is urging you to release any toxic energy that you may still be carrying, from the past, with regard to Relationships (Self &/or Others).
To soften all this heavy energy, a lovely GRAND “WATER” TRINE accompanies this Libra Solar Eclipse, bringing helpful emotional energy to this celestial event.
Venus, the Ruler of Libra, in Scorpio 🔺trines Mars, in Cancer 🔺trines Neptune/Retrograde, creating this lovely balance of energies.
Venus and Mars are the Lovers of the Zodiac, the archetypes for the Sacred Feminine and Divine Masculine, respectively, and they are, both, connecting harmoniously, with Mystical and Spiritual Neptune. They are aiding the “flushing out” of stagnant energy that is no longer useful for positive relationships and personal growth.
Venus in Scorpio is helps you face any fears and go more deeply into your passions, with stronger convictions. It urges you to go to the heart of the matter and eliminate anything: real or imagined, that holds you back.
“To thine ownself be true!”
Mars in Cancer is helping you take action with self-care & self love, which, in turn, leads to more authentic relationships . . . based on mutual respect, honesty and balance.
“Your Vibe attracts your Tribe”
Neptune/Retrograde in Pisces brings an emotional upgrade of release and spiritual energy . . . including an acceptance of any past emotional upsets, along with an awareness of the lessons and gifts they brought.
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
This is the Cosmic Event of Changing Patterns re: RELATIONSHIPS!
CONSIDERATION * COOPERATION * COMPRISE are KEY WORDS for this Lunation.
Do your relationships ENERGIZE or DRAIN you?
Are they EQUAL in Honesty, Respect and Trust?
Are there “Give & Take” - “Speak & Listen” exchanges?
Take Time to Reflect on these auestions.
PLUTO, the planet of intensity and drama will turn Direct on October 11th, remaining at 29* (anaretic) Capricorn . . . the critical degree of “cleaning things up” before moving forward, continues to be emphasized. Capricorn is all about Top-Down Authority, Government, Big Business, Corporations, Banking . . . The Patriarchy. Pluto entered this sign in 2008.
This deep and profound sign will enter Progressive * Humanitarian and Freedom-Loving Aquarius on November 19, 2024, where it’s about “People Speak” and it will remain here until 2043-44 . . . ~ 20 years.
The Social * Political * Scientific & Technical areas of life should see powerful CHANGES..
Since Pluto has a 248 Orbit, it won’t return to Capricorn until 2272; so, no one, alive today, will experience Pluto in this sign, again,
Jupiter, the planet of Expansion, Optimism and Beliefs, turns retrograde in Gemini, the sign of Thoughts, Communication & Travel, on October 9th, calling us inward, to reflect on our beliefs and how we think about things; especially, as they relate to the meaning of life. Secrets may be unveiled that change our belief system(s) in some way. Awareness is Everything.
Are you willing to take that “Leap of Faith” and give yourself a Reboot in what energizes you and ignites your passion(s)?
Libra energy is powerful, now, and wants to establish Balance in your life.
One of Libra’s greatest gifts is recognizing how to navigate through life with grace and ease.
Wishing you Balance * Peace * Harmony, within Yourself and in your relationships with Others, at this New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Libra ♎️ and moving forward.
