Good Day dear Readers, Friends, People in my network and social media Strangers 🙋🏼♀️
How are you fairing on yet another day of another eclipse? This one is an annular solar eclipse, giving us a “ring of fire” that will be visible from parts of the Southern Hemisphere. The best time and place to see the infamous ring begin is from Easter Island, for a total of 6 minutes and 11 seconds. Is anyone there right now? Or you can catch the live streams online throughout the day.
How are you feeling? How are you being?
Libra Sun in its fall, Moon in Virgo also in fall, Venus in Scorpio in detriment. Mars in Cancer in its fall, Jupiter in Gemini in detriment, Uranus in Taurus in fall, and Mercury moves into detriment later this month. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron —all in retrograde.
We begin October with almost all the planets in some kind of debility. For many, life has us down at the moment. I'm pretty down these days myself, but doing my best not to be a Downer Debbie. I’ve just arrived in Florence, meeting with a client who trusts me with giving advice while in transition during a career change. We look at her natal chart, finding where she can focus on cultivating more purpose and meaning in her next role.
As I type this, I just engulfed an entire pizza smothered in buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil leaves and mushrooms. An friendly older man just walked by and randomly told me I had beautiful hands. I mean, life isn’t all that bad now is it ?!
I also added a pod audio to this article where I briefly review burnout prevention tips. Doing my best to cover healing and human connection points during the ongoing global reset we continue to endure.
Finding balance on the scales ⚖️
It’s natural to feel a bit off-balance during this period, like you're navigating between realities or caught in an emotional pause. There's a sense of anticipation in the air, as though the universe is preparing to shift something unexpected our way.
October begins with this annular solar eclipse in Libra, helping us to reset the balance within our relationships. In the background, Venus, Libra’s ruler, forms a Grand Trine with Mars and Saturn. We’re applying integrity and boundaries while having difficult conversations. We’re breaking free from codependence and stepping into more evolved frequencies of love and connection.
An Aries Full Moon arrives mid-month on October 17th, forming a tense grand cardinal cross with Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn. Anger and tension can bubble over, but they’re helping us empty our cups to make room for something lighter to flow. Resistance is futile and it’s time to become more honest with ourselves —facing repressed feelings. If we’ve been afraid of confrontation, we can now meet our fears working through difficulties.
Body Awareness Tips:
Where do emotions feel stuck in your body? What physical aliments are you experiencing if any?
Where has your anger, triggers, or fear caused your body to tense up?
What happens when you relax? How long does that period last for you?
The South Node has been in Libra since July of 2023, inviting deep healing, release, and shifts in both collective and individual relationship dynamics, interpersonal patterns and individuality.
After 14 months of profound shifting within this space, we arrive at our last eclipse in this cycle, not meeting another one in the Venus-ruled sign of Libra until 2033. It’s the end of a chapter. A doorway that we have been walking towards for over a year.
And now, we can simply breathe out, let go, offer our worries to a scared source that is big enough to resolve even the most challenging of woes. It's both an end and a beginning—a chance for transformation, healing, and being open for new perspectives.
Libra’s energy, on it’s high road, brings love, connection, harmony, and balance. It's a time to align ourselves with those values, to come together —enjoy life, relationships, and creativity.
For over a year, we've been shifting, healing, and releasing old patterns, and this eclipse marks the end of that chapter. It’s a time to let go, breathe deeply, and step forward into something new.
And on that high note, let’s embrace this fair and just Libra infused moment together! Make it a good week for yourself and possibly another.
Namaste xx
Audra
