Solar Eclipse & New Moon Horoscopes – October 14, 2023

5.005

On October 14th, 2023, we’ll experience a New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Libra! We’re finishing up the Taurus and Scorpio set of eclipses and moving into Aries and Libra. We already had an Aries Solar Eclipse earlier this year, so now it’s Libra’s turn.

A New Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon align in the zodiac. Solar Eclipses occur when New Moons are within 18 1/2 degrees of the Lunar Nodes (the points in the Moon’s orbit where the Moon crosses the ecliptic).

New Moons are times for new beginnings and have high energy and enthusiasm. Solar Eclipses amplify this energy, and their impact can last up to 6 months before and after.

This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra can focus on Libra matters, which can include:

– Anything dealing with relationships, partnerships, and alliances as this is primarily what Libra rules (so giving more attention to existing relationships, taking the next step, meeting new people, entering into new partnerships and alliances, etc.)

– Anything where you’re making a compromise, negotiating, or mediating (this may be over contracts, legal matters, or just in general in life)

– Anything that involves fairness or justice (this can mean legal matters or working in communities for greater equity)

– Anything involving balance, peace, and harmony (there can be more peace talks in the world at large, and we can focus on bringing more balance to our lives)

This Solar Eclipse in Libra is conjunct (aligned with) Mercury in Libra as well, and this can bring lots of new ideas and important news, open up our minds, and make us more expressive. We can also be extra busy, wanting to have plenty to do, and can be more engaging.
