New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra

Ah, the energy this week feels potent and transformative, and I know you all are feeling it too, with the new moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2nd as the primary focus. This transit with its themes of balance, harmony, and justice, is inviting you to take a closer look at where things may feel out of sync in your relationships and interactions with others. So, if something feels “off” in your connections; whether with a partner, friend, or business colleague, this new moon solar eclipse will help you to initiate positive changes that recalibrate the scales.

This transit is all about release as it is occurring on the south node axis, encouraging you to let go of what no longer serves your current path. As you move through this week, you may find yourself shedding old habits or ways of relating to others that contribute to unbalanced power dynamics. This energy may manifest for you in subtle ways or something bigger, depending on your experience. Some of you may decide to have that honest heart-to-heart conversation or set a firm boundary that has been long overdue. You may decide to end a relationship, or find fresh, creative ways to work together to strengthen one.

The formation of alliances and adversaries are possible this week! Yes, Libra strives for harmony and balance, but it is also the sign of hidden enemies. Solar eclipses have a way of uncovering things, and we have Mercury in the sign of Libra and Venus in the sign of Scorpio during this time, so don’t be surprised if a sudden shift or revelation comes to light. This may feel destabilizing at first or may come as a confirmation or relief. Whatever the case may be, a beneficial aspect of this transit is that you are well supported to calmly and directly make a solid choice, negotiate more favorable terms, or face an uncomfortable situation head-on.

This is beautiful time of inner transformation for you, as you reclaim your personal sovereignty and align with a more authentic and heart-centered version of yourself.

Some ways you can support yourself this week are:

Setting healthy boundaries by communicating your needs clearly and calmly. You may be tested if others are used to your compromising, so be kind, but firm.

Movement such as gentle yoga, a walk outside, etc. will help you stay grounded and encourage your body to gently release excess energy and emotions. Reiki and energy work can also be extremely supportive during this time.

Prioritize rest. Eclipses are intense which can make you feel more tired than usual. Make space for some extra downtime and avoid overwhelming yourself with social commitments if you are not up to it. It’s okay to say no.

Reach out for support if needed. Talking it out with a friend, relative or your local professional tarot reader (shameless plug), can be a tremendous help to relieve temporary anxiety and pent-up emotions, as well as can offer you valuable insights that bring clarity to a situation.

Engage in something creative that you love to do. Creative outlets are necessary for our well-being. They are therapeutic in their own right, as they nourish our soul.

Crystals you may find helpful to work with are rose quartz, amethyst, citrine, lapis lazuli, hematite, black obsidian, lepidolite, blue lace agate and moonstone.

I love you all, have a wonderful week! ❤
