Solar Eclipse New Moon

Today's Solar Eclipse at 21°Libra finds the New Moon sitting very close to it's own South Node, opposite the North Node in Aries, giving this new phase a particularly intense and somewhat fated feeling. It's crucial to remember that what we seek is balance, trying not to overreact to circumstances outside our control.

There is a lot of martial energy here due to the Mars/Pluto square. I don't need to tell you that those forces trying to exert control over others beliefs, needs or safety are acting out big-time! I cannot watch the news because it brings up so much angst and anger, which I am striving to rid myself of. How to deal with it all?

Look at yourself and your life and use the tools you have to increase harmony around you. Stay calm and breathe, not acting out in haste or rage. And, above all, work to keep your personal and business relationships on an even keel. It's good to express yourself, but try to do so without animosity and vengeance. Everyone is going through something!

We are in the Eclipse Cycle known as Saros 7. It brings up fast-moving obstacles and changes to whomever is directly affected by it's placement in their birth chart. Know that what may suddenly appear to be insurmountable will probably be fairly quickly resolved either during this eclipse season, in 2 weeks, at the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus, or in the next eclipse season between March and April of 2024.
