Solar Eclipse/New Moon at 10 degrees Libra
September 21, 2024, was the day of the Autumn/Libra Equinox.
The day when the Sun was exactly above the Equator. It was the time when the day and the night were equal in length.
In the Northern Hemisphere time to say goodbye to Summer. In the Southern Hemisphere time to say goodbye to Winter.
The Fall Equinox marks the Sun’s transition into Libra which lasts until October 22, 2024. This is a time of balance and harmony.
The Libra Equinox is an auspicious time to bring forward new energy and insights that can serve to support our goals.
This is the beginning of the harvest and the gathering of fruits related to work. It’s a time to consider and evaluate our work. To see what’s what, so we have a sense of what is needed to continue on. It is beneficial to acknowledge gratitude for our labor and productivity. This sets the stage to move forward feeling encouraged and energized to accomplish and complete more projects.
To acknowledge what we have planted, rooted and raised throughout the year along with what we are leaving behind as we let go in order to keep moving forward.
Then on October 2, 2024 @ 2:49 PM EST
The Sun conjuncts the Moon and the South Node in Libra. It is a time of new beginnings as the Sun and Moon align in Libra and start the new cycle.
As the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.
The Solar Eclipse occurs.
On October 2, 2024 @ 2:49 PM ESDT
This took place when the Sun conjunct the Moon in Libra @ 10 degrees 46” conjunct Mercury @ 11 degrees Libra.
With the South Node being part of this equation at 6 degrees Libra this is the time to contemplate “what has come of what has been.”
The South Node holds within it lessons from the past either learned or needing to be remembered as we move forward at this New Moon in Libra.
With Venus, the ruler of Libra, we have the symbol of the scales seeking to balance what is fair and just. In light of unfolding world events, this is a good thing.
Giving rise towards the kind of thinking that enables the public to reflect on the meaning of justice within the law. Justice and the law being one of Libra’s topics.
To be mindful that laws and the implementation of them must be carried out by lawyers, legislators and government officers. These elected officials must be guided by principles of integrity with a high regard for a clear sense of ethics and ethical behavior. This will insure equality as we all have a Constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Mercury at 11 degrees Libra, activates the mind towards bringing logic to what is not logical. Mercury in Libra becomes energized via communication, To feed and stimulate ideas that support comprehensive ways to establish balance, peace and harmony.
Venus as the ruling planet of this New Moon in Libra, in the sign of Scorpio at 11 degrees forms a Grand Water Trine with Mars at 15 degrees Cancer which trines Saturn Rx at 14 degrees Pisces.
This Grand Trine holds within it the potential to influence feelings and ideas towards the trajectory of diplomacy. The harmonics of Venus to Mars and to Saturn has the capacity to evoke compassion and understanding at a time when change via the desire to rethink perspectives and goals is clearly needed.
Jupiter in Gemini trine to Mercury in Libra has the potential to evoke dialogue and discussion. The intention and motivation is to bring about balance, peace and harmony. As we seem to be in the midst of chaos brought on by the seduction of the numinous as well as the wholly delusional. (A byproduct of Neptune and Saturn in Pisces is one reason.)
There is also a phenomena in our basic psychological makeup called “splitting” which results in devaluing life. To split which is about making one person good and another evil is a part of our psychology that does not keep us safe, sane or secure. We might think it does, but if we look around, not really.
Our tendency towards “splitting” must be replaced with intelligent understanding and respect as we learn the concept of inclusion. Inclusion, being one of the antidotes to splitting off.
We can bring a sense of wonder to how we relate to others and the world as we acknowledge our differences. We might even find ourselves celebrating those differences.
To understand and allow for the reality that, truth be told, we all have different ways in which we differentiate as well as sharing the need to come together. It is true that “no person is an island”.
This gets played out through the experience of the simplicity of our shared basic human needs.
When viewed from this perspective the movements of the planets and the angles they form supports life and how we align with our own attitudes, thoughts and actions.
In the realm of phenomenology and the realm of possibility these interpretations are based on my own subjective perception. Yes, that is true and I own it.
Years of studying the basic meanings of the planets, the signs and the meaning of their symbols informs my understanding. To witness and experience the energies created as they interact within the angles they form serves to give meaning to the lives we are leading. Particularly at this critical juncture in time.
It’s the relationship of these astrological components combined with an awareness of events occurring in the world at this time that makes me wonder.
I wonder how we can work with the understanding of these solid planetary bodies as they traverse the Zodiac to change the trajectory we are on towards the trajectory of balance harmony, dignity and justice for all.
I marvel at how the movements of the planets through the Zodiac might enable us with our understanding to support this chaotic moment of maddening metamorphosis we are in.
I see this becoming particularly accentuated by Mars making its long transit through Cancer. Mars with its symbolism as the God of War. Planet Mars as a warring planet can also be viewed as a surge towards life itself with its inherent need to survive, to live, to thrive.
With Mars forming a square to the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra this is particularly significant. With Mars energy there is the probability that a Yin/Yang balance can be achieved. This is a possibility as Mars the ruler of Aries is part of the relationship dynamic in its opposition to Libra.
Mars transits through the sign of Cancer, the sign of home, of mother, of nourishment and support held in high esteem. This could be experienced as a stress which can be understood to be a sort of growing pain.
The sign of Cancer held within the fiery energy of planet Mars requires some sort of compromise in order to endure such a dichotomy. It’s the awareness needed to find a way to make this combo work where some interesting transformation and growth can happen.
As Cancer seeks stability, Mars the Warrior seeks to provide and protect. During this long transit of Mars in Cancer we have the opportunity to develop skills and ways to establish stability as a process of birth and new beginnings.
As in the process of childbirth itself there is the pain of individuation and separation that holds anger and frustration within the experience of it. The screams of agony release some of the pain and allow for endurance as mother serves as the vehicle to bring this being into the world.
Mars in Cancer teaches us about anger as an emotion that is part of our lived human experience. When managed in a healthy productive way utilized by our will anger is a life affirming organizing force.
Quite often anger indicates the need to individuate, to give birth to some component of our being. When accurately identified via self diagnosis anger is an organizing constructive emotion. Its goal is to support life. To restore balance, diplomacy, peace and harmony. Never, ever to destroy.
The square of Jupiter to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces begs the questions that emerge out of the awareness of a conscious frustration around differentiating between complicity and diplomacy.
The anxiety that gets evoked when Neptune and Saturn in Pisces are involved must be managed. Saturn Rx in Pisces along with Neptune contains a resource that supports the possibility of creative connection to a transcendent consciousness.
Neptune being the higher octave of Venus holds within its energy the awareness of love in the spiritual sense of the word. However, transcendent awareness of deeper realms of possibility must be grounded and centered in adherence to basic laws and truths. The golden rules based on truths that stipulate laws that inherently have the capacity to guide and support our experience of being human, here in the material world on planet Earth.
Jupiter, planet of expansion and enthusiasm is also connected to the law. Laws that are an inherent part of legal systems with intentions to guarantee justice under the law.
The square energy formed with Jupiter in Gemini to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces must be managed with conscious awareness. When practiced and adhered to in a healthy way then life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness becomes the law of the land.
Jupiter in Gemini must be utilized to help put into place the fact that no one is above the law.
Particularly as Mercury in Libra forms a quincunx to Saturn Rx in Pisces.
The energy of this quincunx suggests a critical need to come to terms with the experience of duality. To use our minds with the energy of Libra seeking balance as Saturn Rx slowly requires compassion, understanding and surrender to let go of old structures in order to establish more flexible ones.
Let’s shine a light of awareness to find solutions that support life.
It is useful to remember that this New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra has offered a moment of exhalation.
We might find ourselves reflecting on the past. Ultimately it’s time to let go and move forward into a new cycle of life with knowledge, wisdom and gratitude.
I affirm that we do.
