On October 14, 2023 at 1:55pm EDT the first total solar eclipse of the season arrives at 21° Libra. While this is a New Moon, which plants a fresh seed of intention, this is also a South Node (Ketu) eclipse which encourages releasing, letting go, and removal of stagnant energy and old processes in our lives. Whenever we are having the first New Moon/South Node eclipse in a sign, it speaks to new origins, but those that unfold in a way that may ultimately end, or be a phase where you release and share all the understandings you have been accumulating in this area of your life.

September’s New Moon in Libra provides a fresh start with our relationships and helps us create meaningful and lasting connections with others. Venus still in Virgo encourages us to clean out and organize what hasn’t been working and what needs a little redecoration. We will be reviewing a lot of structures and challenges this lunation, as the Saturn-Uranus square comes to a close.
