Are you ready for some lunar drama?
The new moon in Libra occurs on October 14, 2023 at 1:55 p.m. ET (7:55 p.m. CET). It also serves as an annular solar eclipse, in which the sun’s edges appear to form a ring of fire around the moon. Libra, the Cardinal air sign, is associated with justice and harmony, but since eclipses are known to cause tension, expect this lunation to throw things off kilter.
The general vibe of the October 14 new moon solar eclipse is about healing relationships and finding personal growth through what people reflect back to us. This is because Libra is associated with our relationships — romantic, platonic, familial, professional, and beyond.
When three or more stellar forces (planets or celestial bodies) are in the same sign at the same time, this is known as a stelium, and it indicates that we will feel an extra-concentrated dose of that sign’s energy. The sun, moon, Mercury, asteroid Pallas, and the lunar South Node of Destiny are all in Libra, so the impact will be amplified.
With these October new moon dos and don’ts, you can keep up with the cosmic curveballs.
The biggest DOS during October’s New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Libra:
DO: Reflect On Your Summer
This eclipse is the culmination of an 18-month journey that began in July. The solar eclipse also promotes spiritual maturity because Pluto, also known as the planet of karma, stations direct on October 10. In other words, go back over the lessons you’ve learned this summer and, if necessary, make changes to better serve your emotional needs (such as taking a break from dating apps or putting yourself out there to meet new people).
DO: Speak From Your Heart
Libras are masters of the romantic arts. This Venus-ruled air sign gives us the courage to be honest about our wants and needs, both in our hearts and in the bedroom, as this eclipse brings them to the surface.
We need to be clear about our desires so that the other side can fulfill them for us — and vice versa. It all comes down to the power of manifestation.
DO: Create Boundaries
Libra is frequently the group’s mediator, doing their best to ensure justice and fairness. This can sometimes lead to over-compromise or draining their social battery.
We must be clear and honest about what we truly want from our relationships because we are on a path of seeking more freedom and authenticity in them.
If you’re not interested, don’t be afraid to decline an invitation. It is acceptable to request space to recharge.
DO: Evaluate Your Relationships
Because Libra governs partnerships, this new moon is ideal for pursuing healthy relationships. This is especially true as the lunar South Node of Destiny enters Libra, representing your past, particularly any patterns that need to be processed. Get rid of old romantic habits and look forward to a brighter future.
Relationships that do not allow us to grow will have to end between now and January 2025. You can be confident that these karmic shifts are part of a larger lesson.
The biggest DON’TS during October’s New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Libra:
DON’T: Try To Make Everyone Happy
Being fair is a strength, but too much of it can backfire. After Pluto goes direct on October 10, you should work on any people-pleasing tendencies you may have. We must strive for diplomatic and understanding behavior while also letting go of the need to please the other person at all costs.
Reduce your efforts if you have a tendency to over-extend yourself in the name of maintaining peace.
DON’T: Avoid Difficult Conversations
Let’s face it, no one wants to confront a loved one. However, tense discussions are sometimes unavoidable. Solar eclipses elicit uncomfortable emotions, so you might as well have those awkward conversations now.
Given Pluto’s presence during this lunation, we have a better understanding of the changes we must now make, which includes having difficult conversations with our closest friends and family. Fortunately, Libra is all about taking the initiative, especially when it comes to improving their relationships.
DON’T: Break Your Commitments
Libras are notorious for canceling plans at the last minute, which is fine in a pinch but should not be done on a regular basis. Be committed to your obligations, including your dinner plans with a friend and the laundry that has been piling up in the corner for days.
