On October 2nd, at 18:46 GMT, we will experience an annular solar eclipse at 10° of Libra. The Moon and the Sun will be conjunct in the sign of Libra, inviting us to set new intentions and look for a fresh start.

A New Moon is always an opportunity to start something new, to think about what we want to achieve and to write down our intentions so they become our reality. When a partial solar eclipse is added to the mix, the energies are even stronger and our manifestation powers are almost on steroids!

In the sign of Libra, the emphasis is definitely on partnerships, harmony, contracts, agreements and diplomacy. A change will occur and will most likely ask us to find or restore balance in our life.

In which areas of our life do we lack harmony and balance? What about the give and take ratio? How is our work supporting us? Are we fair or do we need to look for more justice and fairness? Are our partnerships based on equality? These questions could help us redefine our life towards a better and more harmonious self.

An eclipse along with a new moon look really much like a reset. We can see it as a sort of pause and reflection time before a starting new adventure. The Sun, the Moon and Mercury, all in Libra are in a square to Mars in Cancer, highlighting even brighter the idea that we need to stop for a moment. There’s a feeling to do better, not harder, to gather up our strength and energy before taking a leap, to reflect on our desires, emotions and the information we have before taking action!

A grand water trine between Mars in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio and Saturn in Pisces is appearing with this lunation. Intuition and empathy are under the spotlight and it feels like the Universe is inviting us to get in touch with our gut instinct. Emotional intelligence is as significant as logic at work or in our daily interactions and it helps us seeing the truth and authenticity of a person or situation. To find balance or harmony, intuition is key! In other words, if it feels off, then it needs to change!

The themes of this lunation are diplomacy, harmony and relationships. An eclipse always comes with the idea of fate and destiny. What is not aligned with our personal growth and personal path will be removed. Toxic behaviours (in Libra it’s all about people pleasing, too much diplomacy and even fakeness) won’t survive this time and if we don’t work on ourselves, the Universe will bring more lessons for us to grow!

So under this New Moon, let’s take time to review what could be improved, find the right words to express ourselves in truth and respect and embrace balance between our heart and our mind. There are many healthier and more harmonious possibilities on the horizon, a big and for the better change is in reach!

Let us not forget that eclipse season is quite draining energetically so stay hydrated, rest when you need it and as always, trust the Universe!

Wishing you a wonderful New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra 🤍🤍🤍

No person, no place, and no thing has any power over us, for ‘we’ are the only thinkers in our mind. When we create peace and harmony and balance in our minds, we will find it in our lives. – Louise Hay
