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.

Tumblr media
This Week's Astrology Horoscopes for All Signs
♈︎ Aries: Conversations change your view and opinion about others and yourself this week. Investigating the details and data can help you figure it out for a new start. Deciphering a secret puts your relationships on a new path. Psychic phenomenon, synchronicities, strange coincidences and dreams are prompting you to think more deeply. Note doubles.
♉︎ Taurus: What other people believe can seem serious but you’re likely to reject vague ideas and ideologies that aren’t backed by real proof. Peer pressure to conform won’t work. Breathing is healing. A new health and wellness routine is worth growing. Body language attracts. A situation between friends can reveal true feelings.
♊︎ Gemini: This is a nice time to enjoy some fun. Learning a new hobby or game, or tapping into talents again or for the first time can get you into a new groove. What other people say could affect your energy this week so be kind to help manifest more of the same. Your wit and charm can help others feel better. Changes in relationships are meant to take you forward with better balance.
♋︎ Cancer: A new chapter in your personal life and at home are beginning this week. The eclipse gives you an extra dose of inner change that helps you balance the past with what’s next. What others may say in jest or with sarcasm will act as a mirror, giving you ideas you can work with.
♌︎ Leo: Words and opinions that come out of nowhere can really get your mind going, stirring up all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Your ability to sense the emotions of your home and family are also heightened. Being a source of balance and security to others, helps you have the same. Listen and read between the lines. What isn’t said may be even more important than what is said.
♍︎ Virgo: Self love and self care are at the front of the line for you now. Taking care of your body naturally can fly in the face of conventional belief to outsource your body to an external authority. Rebellious fashion choices may suit you. People sticking to beliefs that don’t hold any weight can get under your skin. A fresh idea you hadn’t considered can inspire smarter choices in building and balancing your money and resources.
♎︎ Libra: Trust issues could be in the spotlight for you now. What people project is highly revealing. Your senses will tell you a lot more than usual this week. What you believe and wish to believe could flip when faced with practical reality. Gathering information will help you make sense of what seems unbelievable. What window are you closing and what door are you opening?
♏︎ Scorpio: Your strength, will and determination are enhanced. You feel in your element when you are taking charge. Passion and virility increase. Information you decipher can change your goals. You have a rebellious streak that asserts your power. What you say can have a strong impact on on who is listening. The eclipse brings you new beliefs.
♐︎ Sagittarius: The urge to set out on a new path is with you this week. As you set a new intention you will see what types of people are suited for your plans and realize who is not. The way others cooperate in relationships will give you many clues. Peer pressure could get to you, but your own path is the one to be measured for growth.
♑︎ Capricorn: You could feel a strong inner fire of change happening with you this week. Energy in your social life could feel intense. Increased enthusiasm for discovering what is unknown makes you quite a sleuth. Virility is increased. The cooperative approach in your business and career relationships is in focus this week. What truth was revealed? Learn more about natural health and beauty. What are marketing illusions?
♒︎ Aquarius: This week has positive new potential for you. It could be nice to see from a birds eye view. What you believe can manifest. Visualize to see the path. Investigate. Inquire. 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.

Happy Eclipse Season!
🌒October 14 (Solar) & 28 (Lunar)🌖
Eclipses happen all of the time, several times a year, and bring with them beginnings & endings that align with our destined paths…or don’t. They are often shown connected with the North & South nodes, and the months where the Sun/Moon is aligned or conjunct with the current nodes - have the most potent impact - over a 6 month period.
This year’s being Libra and Aries, lessons around we/others/people pleasing and relationships vs. I/myself/independence and forging new paths - are highlighted.
Tomorrow is the Solar Eclipse in Libra, aligned with the current South Node, this can bring shocking awareness to old patterns of behavior, toxic relationships, financial problems, what’s needing to be released in order to head towards the new. Being Solar & bringing in fresh energy, with Libra SN ruling over partnerships, endings often coincide with new beginnings and especially so right now.
What may come as a shock to you is meant to jolt you back onto your Node’s alignment in any areas you may have strayed from it, and over the next couple of weeks, realizing what needs to end in order to forge ahead on a new path for yourself - with the Taurus full moon & lunar eclipse on October 28.
These topics (personal to you & your own chart, where Aries/Libra is for you and what planets they aspect), will continue to build & change over the next 6 months. By next eclipse in Aries season when these signs are aligned with the Nodes properly (Aries North, Libra South), many of you will have made significant progress in releasing any old stagnant energy and moving towards a new & empowering one (especially being Aries).
Cardinal signs, air & fire signs are likely to feel this particular eclipse season the most, wherever the nodes are in your chart. Not all areas of the world will see the eclipses in the same way, some regions are better than others & the times all differ as well, we miss many lunar eclipses because…sleep, and solar ones due to it happening on the other side of the world, so make sure you know where the best viewing point is for your area. It’s also a perfect time to set your intentions for any goals/dreams you wish to see or start working towards, now is the time 💜
And never look at a Solar Eclipse without special eclipse glasses, you will burn your eyeballs.

Solar Eclipse in Libra: October 14th 2023
The solar eclipse in Libra on October 14th is an annular solar eclipse and lasts for just over five minutes. Its impact will last for much longer...
The solar eclipse in Libra takes place on Saturday October 14th at 18:00(UT) is an annular solar eclipse and lasts for just over five minutes. The awful events currently taking place in Israel and Gaza serve to remind us that solar eclipses were traditionally regarded as ‘portents of doom’ and manifestations of evil. The darkening sky was seen as a sign that death and destruction would follow in…
