Intro

North America will witness a spectacular event: an Annular Solar Eclipse on October 14th, 2023, finishing at 10:54am PT // 1:54pm ET. The eclipse will cast a hauntingly beautiful “Ring of Fire” in the sky as the moon veils the sun, allowing only a radiant halo of sunlight to pierce the darkness.

The eclipse’s path weaves through Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Eclipses will always be most potent for people that can visually see the eclipse, and will be especially pronounced in the geographic region directly under the 100% path of visibility.

A solar eclipse brings potent, accelerated changes. The Moon perfectly aligns with the Sun, obscuring the Sun’s light and casting a shadow on Earth. Eclipses reflect major plot twists. Sudden course corrections where we may have veered off of our path. A realignment. However, this realignment isn’t always apparent to us right away, it can take months to reveal itself. The shadow cast by the eclipse can bring darkness and uncertainty, but what emerges from the shadow often brings new understanding.

While the events of a New Moon typically unfold over the course of the ~28 day lunation; eclipses take months to unfold, and are actually part of a much larger 18 year cycle.

This solar eclipse is occurring at the South Node (aka Ketu), indicating a major new beginning that will come at the expense of the release of something, especially stagnant energy associated with past unaddressed Karma. This is a purging of Libra motifs: balance, harmony, ethics, justice, diplomacy, compromise, and peace. With the Sun’s light obscured by the Moon’s shadow, hidden matters around balance, fairness, and integrity in relationships or society may be revealed.

The “Halo” Symbolism and Angelic Connections

This eclipse is an Annular eclipse. The Moon will be relatively close to Apogee where she appears smaller and slower. As a result, the Moon will not entirely block the Sun, leaving a “Ring of Fire” or Halo appearance. This differs from a Total solar eclipse (coming to the US April 2024), where the Moon completely blocks the Sun.

With the Moon near Apogee, the Solar spirit still shines through, indicating the lunar/feminine principle can limit or transform solar/masculine energies, but not completely overpower them.

The word “halo” traces back to Ancient Greek. It comes from the Greek word “halōs” meaning “disk of the sun”. Of course, when we think of a halo, angels come to mind.

The notion of angels as divine helpers has roots in pretty much every religion. Ancient texts dating back thousands of years describe angels as messenger beings who carry out God’s will and can intervene in human affairs. They are created from light and have no free will, existing only to worship God and carry out divine orders.

In my opinion, angels are undoubtedly reflected through solar eclipses, especially given the matching “Halo” symbolism. The nodal axis, where the Moon + Sun’s path diverge and form eclipses, similar to angels, is able to permeate free will and intervene. It’s as if the nodal axis reflects our Divine compass, and every time eclipses come around, they veer us back to our Divine path.

Of course, Human free will is preserved to accept or reject opportunities that arise. And outcomes and form depends on individual and collective consciousness. Basically, as cliche as it sounds, trust your intuition and go with the flow.

Navigating Through the Stormy Eclipse Waters

Eclipses can be incredibly catalyzing and profound, very loud and unavoidable. An eclipse is like a storm out at sea. When you’re out sailing and you notice the sky start to darken, you heed that omen. You secure your cargo and passengers, reduce speed, and prepare for the oncoming storm. Once the storm has arrived, its best to head straight into oncoming waves and wind as it helps minimizes rolling from side-to-side and risks of capsizing.

We can apply this advice to navigating eclipses as well: face the eclipses’ force head on, don’t try to evade the circumstances.

However, sometimes when you’re out at sea, if a storm gets too bad, sometimes its best to anchor down and wait for the storm to pass, and that same advice can certainly be applied to navigating eclipses as well. Their effects can be catalytic and intense, so often it’s best to wait to pull the trigger on some things and wait for the storm to pass.

Remember – just like the storm will eventually clear – this too shall pass. The eclipse’s charged energies may feel endless, but they are transient. Change is life’s constant guarantee. I think that the eclipse’s exact aversion (150°) to Uranus could reflect many of us feel stuck with the fear that the turbulence and upheaval will never end. It could be hard for us fully remember the transient nature of life (♅) right now.

On top of that, Saturn, which represents our trials, tribulations, and ultimately where our most concentrated karmic tests show up, is in the early realm of Pisces. Here, our faith, particularly in the unseen and unknown, is deeply tested.

Amidst global strife and personal challenges, it’s seldom easy to discern the larger narrative unfolding. If you’re going through a difficult time right now, as many people in the world are, just know that it may not be easy to see the bigger picture right now – Saturn’s heavy presence is there. But this doesn’t mean that we just accept Saturnian pessimism and ignore our faith. It means that we work with Saturnian energy and develop discipline with our spiritual connection.

Meditate, reflect, pray – delve into your inner world, and maintain the self-discipline required to keep your connection with the Unknown strong. Nourish your inner world daily – no matter how hard the tests get. If you truly want to help humanity, this is one of the best things you can do. Through resilience lies great reward. Although it’s not easy, but have to maintain hope that these shadows enable humanity the darkness it needs to look within.

On a positive note, Mars just recently entered it’s home sign of Scorpio, forming a harmonious trine to Pisces Saturn – reflecting focused energy dedicated to the long term. This lends the willpower, strategy, and patience needed for undertakings inaugurated now to achieve stable manifestation.

Relationships Realigned + Standing Firm in Self-Love

Relationships are a major focal point of this Eclipse, especially with us being fresh out of a Venus retrograde, and this Libra eclipse is ruled by Venus.

With Venus herself residing in Virgo, the eclipse invites, or perhaps demands, an exploration of our relationships and values. It invites us to purge relationships maintained only for the sake of peace and to confront any truths we have been avoiding.

Venus is still opposite Saturn retrograde in Pisces, calling for maturity in relationships and standing firm in self-love, even when its not easy. Relationships and social harmony may be challenged and tensions, disagreements, or separations could occur.

Additionally, Mercury has decided to dip out during this eclipse (of course lol), and is combust (aka, close to the Sun). Communications may be heated and intense. Mercury will also be directly opposite Aries Chiron during this eclipse, which could reflect that we want to convey our feelings diplomatically (♎︎☿) but we’re upset that we were even hurt in the first place (♈︎⚷).

Ultimately, relationships will be challenged to grow in maturity and integrity. Communications may suffer amidst the intensity, but staying open and standing firm in self-love will see us through. In the end, this eclipse clears away stagnancy, creating space for relationships aligned with our highest good.

Malefic’s Exaltations Highlighted

With no major aspects, this eclipse forms a solitary focal point at 21° Libra. This is an important degree, as it’s traditionally recognized as the exaltation degree of the Greater Malefic – Saturn. AKA — where Saturn has extremely heightened power. Saturn’s exaltation in Libra reveals Saturn’s core focused energy as a planet – to bring balance, equilibrium, and synthesis between opposites. Known as the “Lord of Karma”, Saturn addresses imbalance, it restores equilibrium. Saturn calls us to re-evaluate where imbalance has crept in, restore the scales, and build new structures founded on high principles. Saturn’s tests and adversities encourage realignment to the whole, to the greater context we are part of. 

So perhaps this eclipse highlighting Saturn’s exaltation degree is an indicator of a potent new beginning the realm of societal balance. Bringing a reset in the realm of justice and equality, with an emphases on diplomacy, compromise, and conflict resolution to create a society that works for all.

Interestingly, this eclipse forms a loose square to Pluto, stationed at 28° Capricorn — Mars’ exaltation degree, the other malefic. So the exaltation degrees of the two malefic are highlighted in an extremely potent way. Pluto here could suggest that drives and motivations, potentially lurking beneath our conscious awareness, may surface, demanding expression and, possibly, purgation. Plutonic energy is incredibly powerful, highlighting the necessity of focusing on higher principles and channeling any emerging energies toward constructive, rather than destructive, ends.

Divine Numbers: 72 and 144

During the eclipse, Taurus Jupiter RX will be precisely 72° away from Pisces Saturn RX.

72, a fibbionacci number, reduces to 9 (7+2=9). In numerology, 9 represents completion of a cycle before renewal begins anew. It is the final single digit, containing all other numbers within it. However, 72 is a semi-perfect number, meaning it is equal to some but not all of its divisors. This reflects the sense of potential completeness combined with imperfection. There is room for growth and evolution.

Jupiter and Saturn met during their Great Conjunction in December of 2020, so we are still in the early phases of their ~12 year cycle. Progress has been made, but imperfection and room for evolution remains. Jupiter seeks exploration and growth while Saturn demands caution and constraint. Both attitudes must fuse for tangible manifestation. Jupiter in Taurus provides the resources and groundedness to make Pisces Saturn’s spiritual visions come to reality. Together they can build structures of great nourishment.

1°44′ Scorpio Mars – 144° applying to Neptune

Now what’s really incredible is that Mars will be at exactly 1°44′ Scorpio during this eclipse, and precisely 144° from Neptune. This reflects a destined channel for willpower. It is spiritual warriorship. It indicates that throughout this upheaval, we are locked in to our spiritual intuition, and may even experience a lot of visionary guidance, despite obstacles.

The number 144 holds great importance in numerology, sacred geometry, and ancient traditions across cultures. It emerges from the natural harmonic of 12. It is a “square” number, meaning it results from multiplying a number by itself (12 x 12). Squares represent stability and order. 144 is the 12th number in the Fibonacci sequence – the mystical pattern interlinking the realms of mathematics and nature.

144 symbolizes the full manifestation or amplification of the archetypes inherent in the root number 12… which shows up in the 12 months of the year, 12 hours on a clock’s face, 12 ribs in our ribcage, 12 cranial nerves in our system, 12 jury members, 12 Apostles (Christianity), 12 Adityas (Hinduism), 12 Tribes of Israel (Judaism), the 12 Imams (Islam), 12 Olympian Gods (Greek Mythology), 12 Nidānas (Buddhism), The Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine, Jung’s 12 archetypes, and much more.

Horoscope Readings for All Signs

Read first for your Natal Rising Sign, then try reading for your Moon Sign and applicable Solar/Lunar Return Ascendant.

Aries

Martians, you are in the midst of an intense astrological chapter, with eclipses igniting your 1H and 7H over the next ~1.5 years. This current solar eclipse in your 7th house of partnerships portends major developments regarding your one-on-one bonds.

The presence of Ketu indicates unfolding of relational karma and a deep evaluation of your partnerships, be they romantic, business, or otherwise. The energy of Libra, striving perpetually for harmony, is paradoxically thrown into a conscious imbalance to reveal the shadows that perhaps have been lurking in your dealings with others. Karmic relationships may dissolve, creating space for more authentic connections. Disagreements could come to a head, forcing you to walk away from relationships stifling your growth. Stand firm in your worth – this breakdown enables rebirth.

With Venus gracing through your Virgo 6th house, themes of servitude, health, and daily routines might become significant arenas where the influence of relationships becomes particularly apparent. There might be partnerships that need re-evaluating in the context of your daily life and physical well-being

As the eclipse squares your 10th house Pluto, major shifts regarding your public life and career may also arise. Ambitions and vocational calling are undergoing transformation from the core.

Meanwhile, assertive Mars transiting your 8th house could thrust you into turbulent emotional waters concerning shared resources, debt, other people’s money, etc. Confrontations may arise regarding finances, investments or inheritances. But on a more positive note, Jupiter and Uranus transiting your Taurus 2nd house points towards potential fluctuations and expansions in your financial and material world. There’s an implication of a possible innovation, unexpected gains, or sudden changes in your financial status, which may be deeply intertwined with the ongoing shifts in your relational dynamics.

Saturn’s journey through your 12th house in Pisces nudges you to reckon with unseen, perhaps subconscious, structures that underpin your life. There’s a calling here to explore the realms of spirituality, solitude, and unconscious patterns, and how these elements might be intersecting with or influencing your relationships and career path. There’s a summoning to discern the ethereal and the practical, ensuring that your dreams and spiritual insights are integrated constructively into your tangible reality.

Taurus

Venusians, this solar eclipse, occurring in your Libra 6th house, brings a potent energetic shift, particularly impacting the aspects of work, health, and day-to-day living. Your daily operations may initially experience a cloud of uncertainty due to the eclipse. You may find your services or skills being called upon, perhaps even catapulting you into scenarios where you are providing aid or assistance to others. Situations may arise that compel you to navigate through the delicate balance between offering help and maintaining your own wellness. However, this “halo” effect, symbolic of angels and divine intervention, suggests that even amidst the seemingly chaotic or uncertain rearrangements, there’s a higher order or guidance at work. The opportunities or challenges that arise in the areas of work, service, and health might have a silver lining that directs your path in a way that aligns more authentically with your soul’s journey.

The Universe is guiding you to purify and streamline your lifestyle. Anything draining your energy or inhibiting your self-care must be addressed. Now is the time to release stuck energies, implement nourishing routines, and come into right relationship with your body, mind and spirit. This is a powerful time to overcome addictions, compulsive behaviors or escapist tendencies that disconnect you from your higher self. Through courageously facing any shadows, you can reclaim scattered parts of yourself and integrate them into your psyche in a healthy way. This fortifies you for the sacred work you are here to do.

The eclipse’s square to Pluto transiting your 9th house reflects a profound rebirth process in your belief systems and perception of reality. Pluto demands complete authenticity – it will utterly destroy structures built on falsehoods so that new truth may emerge from the ashes. Its square to the eclipse reveals hidden matters of integrity. Remain dedicated to your personal truth but also open to continual refinement of your views. Humility and perpetual learning is key.

Although Mars is presently transiting your 7th house of partnerships, inciting some friction, his harmonious aspect to Saturn lends the patience and tenacity to endure challenges. Venus transiting your 5th House underscores a period where love, creativity, and perhaps even romance, are analyzed in a practical and discerning manner. There may be a meticulous examination of what brings you joy and pleasure, evaluating and refining how you express your love and creativity. Jupiter and Uranus transiting through your Taurus 1st House suggest a time of self-expansion and unexpected shifts in your personal identity and how you present yourself to the world.

Saturn’s transit through your 11th House in Pisces indicates a period where friendships, social circles, and aspirations are under a maturation process. It’s a period where you might reassess your long-term goals, friendships, and affiliations, ensuring they align with your spiritual and emotional values. This transit can also highlight where you might need to take responsibility within group contexts or where you’re being called to step into a leadership or authoritative role within a community or organization.

Gemini

Mercurials, this eclipse is occurring in your Libra 5th house – highlighting themes of pleasure, co-creation with the universe, and children – indicating a major new beginning in these areas of life.

The square to Pluto, transiting your Capricorn 8th House, signifies profound psychological transformations. The discourse between the realms of pleasure and enjoying yourself versus losses and shared resources may propel you to confront deeply buried emotions, perhaps related to past financial entanglements or creative struggles. As these energies cascade through your life, your romantic involvements may undergo scrutiny. Romantic relationships will either deepen or dissolve, nudging you towards engagements that mirror your authentic self.

With the eclipse ruler Venus in your 4th house of home and family, themes around your inner world and domestic life may come to the forefront. You may find yourself nesting, finding solace and beauty within your home and family domain amidst external turmoil. There could be changes or developments in your living situation, perhaps moving or renovations. Deep introspection around your roots, childhood, and emotional foundations could lead to powerful realizations that inspire positive changes.

Mars’ energy will propel you to take action to improve your health, vitality and daily habits. With Mars in your 6th house, you may feel compelled to implement positive changes to your routine, diet or self-care practices. Listen to any messages from your body about what it needs to thrive.

At the same time, Jupiter and Uranus retrograde in your 12th house caution against extremes or quick fixes. Moderation and sustainability is key. Uranus indicates sudden, unforeseen changes, whereas Jupiter may bless these transformations with a shield of protection or, at least, a silver lining embedded within them. This transit may also indicate heightened intuitive abilities, where dreams and subconscious meanderings reveal potent messages.

With Saturn in your 10th house of career and public image, there may be tests or delays around professional matters. Hard work and diligence will be required to meet responsibilities and obligations, but the concentrated effort will lead to meaningful reward. Remain devoted to your long term vision rather than quick successes. Develop structures and habits that support your big picture goals. Authenticity is key now as you build your legacy.

Cancer

Moonchildren, you are likely to feel this eclipse’s effects most prominently in your home, family, and foundation, with significant developments in these areas likely coming over the coming months. With the eclipse ruler Venus in Virgo, your 3rd house of communication, there may be important conversations or realizations around your living situation, family dynamics, childhood wounds, and inner emotional world. You could change residence, renovate your home, or experience internal renovations regarding your deepest sense of security. Allow outworn conditioning and emotional patterns to be purged. Make space for new roots nourishing your soul.

However, many of these new developments may come at the expense of something. In order for us to make room for new things in our life, we often must let go of old, stagnant energy. With this eclipse square Pluto transiting your 7H, this could indicate a purging in your relationships and your approach to them. For Cancer risings, relationships are undergoing complete metamorphosis. Power struggles in partnerships could come to a head, forcing issues that can no longer be ignored. Yet this breakdown makes way for rebirth. Avoid giving your power away or compromising your needs in your relationships just for the sake of keeping peace. Walk away from relationships disempowering your growth. Commit to relating based on authenticity – you deserve to be truly seen and valued.

With Mars energizing your 5th house of creativity, passions, and self-expression, embrace creative outlets to healthily channel any turbulent emotions. Let your inner child guide you toward joy. Focus on what sets your spirit alight. Nurture your heart space with play, pleasure, and lightheartedness. Your unique gifts long to be expressed.

Jupiter and Uranus in your 11th house encourage new social circles and communities. Be willing to release outgrown friend groups to make space for connections aligned with your growth. Say yes to invitations that spark curiosity. An open and receptive attitude magnetizes beneficial opportunities.

With Saturn in your expansive 9th house, matters around your beliefs, life philosophy, and quest for meaning may feel restricted or limited. Be disciplined and committed on your journey of inner and outer exploration. Trust in the unfolding, even when the destination is unclear. Each step forward builds resilience.

Leo

Sunchildren, this eclipse could bring about catalyzing events in your local environment. With this eclipse square Pluto transiting your 6th house, these events could serve as a reminder of your mind-body-spirit connection and the importance of establishing healthy routines and releasing bad habits. There is a major focus on your communication style, local community interactions, siblings, cousins, and learning.

Communications, or perhaps miscommunications, could be illuminated, and areas where balance is needed within your immediate networks and connections might be brought to the fore. The South Node highlights the importance of acknowledging where relationships, especially at a more casual, neighborly level, might have been falling out of harmony. It’s about respecting boundaries while maintaining peace, even if it means recalibrating connections. Allow rigid perspectives to be shed, embracing new ways of thinking and processing information. Local travel could be disrupted but ultimately realigns you with destined paths.

Hidden matters may emerge, inviting a reevaluation of principles. There could be important new beginnings related to contracts, negotiations, or resolving conflicts through compromise. Or, alternatively, relationships in these domains may need to be purged to make space for greater alignment with your truth. With Mercury extinguished during this eclipse, words may be misunderstood. Avoid heated conflicts – remain open and compassionate.

This eclipse squares your 6th house Pluto, suggesting seismic change around health, work and daily routine. Toxic habits or selfish attitudes in service and vocation could be purged, making space for greater integrity. Destroy ego around achievement – progress unfolds from selfless effort. Tend to the mundane with mindfulness and dedication.

With Mars transiting your 4th house of home/family, willpower is charged to address foundations and caretaking matters. Driven action may be taken to improve home/family conditions or purge dysfunctional emotional patterns. Conflicts could erupt with family members, forcing issues out into the open. Ultimately, this propels evolution of your innermost roots.

Meanwhile, Venus continues transiting your 2nd house of income. Her opposition to Saturn calls you to mature your relationship with your money versus other people’s money. Tensions around finances, boundaries, or worthiness may arise, but offer opportunity for growth.

Jupiter and Uranus transiting your 10th house of career/public status signals major growth and breakthroughs in this area of life, albeit with some instability. Your life path, aspirations, and public image are undergoing radical shifts and expansion.

Virgo

Mercurials, you are most likely to feel this eclipse in the realm of your finances, values, and possessions. This territory deals with tangible assets and your approach towards material security. The South Node’s involvement points towards a need to release outdated beliefs in this realm and potential financial habits that are no longer serving you. With Saturn transiting your 7th right now, you may be called to release relationships that you’ve kept at the cost of your own resources or values. Or you may be letting go of a stream of income in order to make room for a new income stream.

The eclipse squares Pluto transiting your 5th house, reflecting intense transformations around creative self-expression, romance and recreational pursuits. Power struggles in these areas could come to the surface, forcing you to walk away from dynamics stifling your authentic joy. Protect your inner child – dedicate time to healthy creative expression.

Mars transiting your Scorpio 3rd House infuses your communication and immediate environment with a fierce, investigative energy. This may manifest as a surge in probing conversations, an inclination towards deep research, or perhaps conflicts in your local environment or with siblings. Your words may carry a substantial punch, enabling you to penetrate beneath surfaces, but be mindful of potential sting and destruction that might accompany aggressive communications. Absorb information wisely, filtering out mental junk food.

Venus transiting your Virgo 1st House may have you presenting yourself in a manner that is somewhat analytical and service-oriented in your relationships. You may find yourself nitpicking at your appearance or the way you relate, but Venus also blesses you with a magnetic charm and an attentive demeanor. Nurture self-love and beauty from within. Disruptions in relationships are clearing space for true resonance.

Overall, allow this eclipse to shake up stagnancy around income. Relinquish rigid expectations – what emerges may surprise you. By staying anchored in self-care and spiritual practice, you will navigate the stormy waters fruitfully.

Libra

Venusians, this eclipse is all about you! It’s incredibly potent for you as it is occurring in your first house, marking a major new beginning and turning point in your life. The focus is on your self, your persona, and how you project yourself onto others, reshaping and refining how you want to be perceived, and encouraging your inner self to authentically mirror your external self. The eclipse conjures energy that sheds light on disparities between your external representation and internal reality, urging a purging of outdated self-perceptions, and a rejuvenation of self-image.

With this eclipse occurring at the South Node, it indicates a release of stagnant energy and outworn patterns, especially around themes of balance, harmony, and relationships. The eclipse’s square to Pluto transiting your Capricorn 4th house suggests intense forces surfacing from the past, your roots, family, and home environment, demanding transformation. This could materialize as physical changes in your living situation or domestic life, or deep-seated shifts within your emotional foundations and sense of security. Dynamics within the family or home may be disrupted to pave way for inevitable growth and evolution.

Venus transiting your 12th house in Virgo may illuminate hidden aspects of love, secret affairs, or unexpressed feelings, and unfulfilled desires. With Venus in analytical Virgo, this could be a period where you methodically reflect on lost loves and how past relationships have shaped your current state, perhaps encouraging you to release lingering emotional or psychic debris to clear the path for new love to flourish.

With Mercury combust the Sun and opposite Chiron during this eclipse, heated discussions around pain or sensitivities are likely. Remain calm and avoid reactive communication – stand firm in your truth while also hearing others. This eclipse requires maturity. Nurture self-love while releasing relationships misaligned with your growth. Any destabilization is to forge foundations strong enough for your unfolding future.

As Mars transits your 2nd house of money and values, you may assert yourself financially, pursuing greater stability or earnings. With Jupiter and Uranus transiting your 8th house, unexpected events could impact your shared resources or investments. This transit can create unforeseen opportunities, yet also demand you navigate through unexpected twists and turns with wisdom and foresight in financial and intimate matters. Your faith in the unknown will be tested, yet you must maintain hope in unseen forces guiding your path.

Saturn moving through your 6th house in Pisces emphasizes a structured approach towards daily routines, work, and health. It may necessitate a disciplined, yet compassionate adjustment to your day-to-day activities, and a conscious reflection upon how you can blend pragmatism and empathy within your work and wellness practices.

Scorpio

Martians, this eclipse is highlighting a rather unpredictable area of your chart – the great Unknown of the 12th house. It marks a culmination within a 1.5-year long chapter (2023-early 2025) of catalyzing events concerning routines (i.e. meditating, exercising, work) that could feel rather karmic. This eclipse could uncover concealed aspects of yourself, hidden enemies, or secrets, propelling you toward an introspective journey where reconciling with the past becomes imperative. Whatever these events may be, they are ultimately going to channel a shift in your spiritual mindset, and your relationship to that realm.

Your inner world is the a focal point of this eclipse, unveiling shadows, hidden fears, and karmic debts, especially around relationships and balance. You may encounter potent dreams, psychic experiences, or subtle intuitions that provide insights into unexplored aspects of yourself and your path. Eclipses in the 12th house often bring hidden things to light: secrets, undisclosed information, or aspects of yourself that you weren’t aware of. There may be a confrontation with aspects of your own nature that you’ve been avoiding, offering a chance for healing and release. The 12th house also symbolizes retreats, seclusion, and spiritual endeavors. This eclipse may herald a phase where withdrawal from worldly chaos to delve into spiritual practices and inner exploration becomes essential.

With this eclipse square Pluto transiting your 3rd house – this shift may require purging outdated communication habits that don’t serve your highest good. Light may be shed on matters you’ve kept hidden, even from yourself. Your thoughts and ideas could undergo a complete overhaul. Communications may be intense but ultimately purging and renewing. There is the potential for severing ties with a sibling, cousin, or other close family member. Or the relationship will experience a potent rebirth. You might be forced to speak your truth in situations where you’ve been silent or confront situations where power dynamics are at play. Or, this could be highlighting a long-forgotten early childhood experience, especially one concerning your education/development, and you may realize that you’ve been subconsciously carrying this experience and enabling it to affect your behavior.

As Mars strides through your 1st house, it fuels your persona with drive, assertion, and perhaps, impatience. Your personal desires and immediate needs may be amplified, seeking assertive expression and action. But caution in interpersonal interactions and health management is advised to navigate through the turbulence without self-sabotage. On a positive note, Mars here lends the necessary courage to face potent changes head on.

Venus brings harmony to group settings, while your partnerships and one-on-one relationships may encounter expansions and unexpected shifts with the presence of Jupiter and Uranus in your 7th. New relationships may burst forth unexpectedly or current ones could experience sudden transformations, unexpected turns, or expansive growth.

Saturn in your house of creativity, romance, and children might bring lessons, limitations, or responsibilities in these areas. It might be a period where your creative projects, romantic relationships, or children demand serious attention, structured approach, or encounter obstacles that need mature handling.

Sagittarius

Jovials, this eclipse awakens some of your biggest wishes and dreams, as it occurs in your Libra 11th house. Revelations surrounding some of your biggest plans for humanity and ultimately how you want your creations (your children, your art, your inventions) to impact this world can become apparent to you now. This Eclipse marks a culmination of a ~1.5 year long chapter highlighting these themes (2023-early 2025), especially of finding balance in this realm. Substantial shift in your collective engagements, friendships, hopes, and career versus your everyday routines, health, and service to others. This interplay probes at the polarity of ‘self’ and ‘collective’, urging a potent transformation within these domains. For some Sagittarius risings, this could mark a development in your role as a parent, or with children in general.
With this eclipse square Pluto transiting your 2nd house, your personal sustenance is highlighted. Are you happy with your income? Do you feel well-fed and taken care of? Do you feel stable in this realm? Any subconscious blocks of your earning ability could be highlighted at this time, ready to be purged. In order to make room for new, high-minded goals, you must be prepared to pave the way for a new mindset in terms of what personal foundation you need to achieve these goals. This may manifest as unexpected shifts in your financial situation or challenges that prompt you to reassess your material stability. It’s a time where your economic strategies and investments might undergo transformation, demanding that you navigate through potential crises with strategic wisdom and empowerment. Destroy rigidity around resources – open to receive from unexpected avenues. Your relationship with money and possessions is transforming radically. Release attachments to status quo.

You are likely to feel this eclipse’s effects in the realm of friends, groups, hopes and wishes. With the eclipse occurring in your 11th house of community, your social circles and affiliations could significantly shift. Relationships based solely on keeping the peace rather than depth may dissolve. It’s a time where new alliances might form, old friendships might dissolve, and your role within groups and communities may transform, all steering you towards a future more in harmony with your authentic self. Though initially destabilizing, this purges what no longer aligns, making space for soul friends and groups supporting your growth. Be discerning about who and what you give your energy to.

Mars transiting your 12th house reflects a need to nurture your inner world. Make time for solitude, prayer and journaling. This could be a period where unresolved conflicts, hidden adversaries, or repressed emotions rise from the shadows, necessitating a courageous confrontation with your inner demons and hidden aspects of your psyche. Anger or resentment could build if not properly expressed. Your dreams hold guidance – pay close attention. Let go of ego and control issues hindering your spiritual connection. Have faith in the unseen hand guiding you.

Venus in your career realm indicates this eclipse could bring surprising developments in your public life. Stand confident in your talents – others are ready to support your professional ascent. Say yes to elevated opportunities. Saturn in your home/family zone may shine light on issues demanding maturity and responsibility. Tend to your inner world and foundation – renewal emerges from the rubble. Are your career pursuits and public responsibilities in harmony with your internal values and desired societal image? It’s a period to apply discernment and practicality in your career moves, possibly re-evaluating your professional relationships, goals, and ethical standpoints within your public and vocational life.

Jupiter and Uranus transiting through your Taurus 6H, meanwhile, may bring expansion and unexpected shifts within your daily routines, work environments, and health matters. Expect sudden changes or new opportunities related to employment or health, perhaps correlated with alterations in your social or financial spheres. This dynamic prompts an exploration of how your daily work and health routines are interlinked with your collective and financial involvements.

Capricorn

Saturnians, the eclipse projects a shadow upon the peak of your astrological chart—your Libra 10th house, marking potent shifts in your public life. The eclipse could unveil previously obscured paths or opportunities in your career, perhaps in areas aligning more authentically with your true self, revealed through the influence of Pluto.

Over the next 18 months, with eclipses impacting your 10H/4H axis mark a recalibration of your professional and private life. Be receptive to fundamental changes in both spheres, seeking integration and harmony between them.

Expect alterations in how you are perceived in your professional and public life, which might demand a reevaluation and adjustment of your public persona. You may encounter sudden opportunities or revelations regarding your ambitions and goals. Though unsettling initially, these prompt an overdue realignment between work and purpose. The eclipse’s square with Pluto in your 1st house may stir the deep, often unseen, forces within your identity and self-perception. This could mark a pivotal moment in how you perceive and present yourself to the world. Outgrown aspects of your persona and presentation are ready to be shed. Have courage to relinquish limiting labels and step fully into your power.
