Expensive buddies,
Eclipse season is upon us and the hits preserve coming. This week’s New Moon in Libra can be an Annular Photo voltaic Eclipse, indicating emotional awakenings and coming-to-consciousness particularly round partnerships, collaborations, marriages, and different face-to-face relationships. The Solar and Moon will meet up at 10 levels, 3 minutes Libra on Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at 2:49 PM Japanese US time, setting off new 30-day and two-and-a-half-year cycles within the Libra home of your natal chart.
One of the vital attention-grabbing (and pleasant) options of the New Moon Eclipse chart is a giant outdated Mystic Rectangle in Earth and Water, stretched throughout the heavens, with Saturn in Pisces, Mars in Most cancers, Vesta in Virgo, and out-of-bounds Ceres in Capricorn at its corners. Mystic Rectangles level us in the direction of the skills we’re meant to make use of on this lifetime. Once they happen in Hearth and Air, they counsel a time of envisioning, setting targets. When they’re in Earth and Water, like this one, they direct us to rapid, sensible motion.
Two of the 4 corners of the Rectangle — Mars and Saturn— are historically thought-about “malefic” planets, as they rule the with the effortful or chilly or “darkish” points of our expertise: work, battle, boundaries, motion, self-discipline, management. However don’t get it twisted. Carl Jung was proper — we truly NEED our shadow aspect, which might provide us safety and true wholeness.
By accepting ourselves unconditionally, by integrating the shadow increasingly consciously into our sense of self (as this week’s Eclipse vitality invitations us to do!), we turn into stronger, more practical, and extra self-respecting — and fewer inclined responsible or condemn different folks. Jung wrote: “The very best political, social, and non secular work we will do is to withdraw the projection of our personal shadow onto others.” It is a fraught time on planet earth, however we every can do our half to make it higher.
Ceres, the Mom Earth Goddess asteroid, holds the fourth nook of the Mystic Rectangle. She’s been out-of-bounds in Capricorn for a while now, and her interplay with the malefics truly turbo-charges her inventive energy. Put down these roots now, so when harvest-time comes there will likely be loads of produce in your backyard to feed your self, your family members, and your group.
Saturn and Mars are additionally speaking to the Goddess of Love within the New Moon Eclipse chart, forming a Grand Trine in Water. Because the ruler of the Solar and Moon in Libra (in addition to Mercury, Juno, and the South Node in Libra, and Uranus in Taurus) Venus is a very highly effective ally proper now. And, being in Scorpio, she too is fierce and engaged with the shadow. Venus in Scorpio seeks peace and emotional readability via uncovering the secrets and techniques — turning over stones or peering into microscopes, noticing the life that’s flowing throughout her and thru her.
Was there some form of huge reveal in YOUR life about two weeks in the past, on the Pisces Full Moon? Now’s the time to look at and combine that have. If unsure, name on Venus! She needs you to really feel the sense of confidence and security that’s actually on the core of your particular wishes.
Typically, astrologers inform folks to not make huge life selections on Eclipses, as a result of there’s a built-in ingredient of unpredictability. No matter scenario you’re coping with proper now, you realize that there are various, MANY components of it exterior of your management — and to that we should give up.
Moreover, this closes up the story from the Eclipses of March and April. The story that opened then needs to wrap up now!
What we will all the time do, nonetheless, is apply consciousness — and the Eclipses assist with that, too, as a result of they bring about issues to mild! Discover what you discover, see what you see, and embrace the fullness of your human nature.
