SOLAR ECLIPSE - OCTOBER 2, 2024

The Solar Eclipse is on Wednesday, October 2, at 1:49 pm CDT in 10° Libra. Eclipses are a powerful New Moon indicating a new beginning not just for a month but with an effect for a year. It is a great time to write down what you would like to come into your life in the year ahead. It helps if you know your natal chart and you can see what astrological house 10 ° Libra falls in. Then you can tailor your 'wish' for that area of life. With the eclipse in Libra the focus is often on partnerships of all sorts  - marriage and romance, business and work projects, really any life area where you make a commitment with another person to accomplish something.

On a deeper level, Libra, the sign represented by the symbol of the scales, is about balance. Think about the area of your life you would like to bring greater balance and harmony. Take even the smallest step to affirm that in your life.

Mercury at 11° Libra is conjunct the Solar Eclipse. Key words for the Libra Mercury is tact and diplomacy. However, it is important to ensure that your communications (Mercury) are not caught up in ego (Sun) or emotions (Moon).

Coming up:
​
October 9: Jupiter goes retrograde at 21° Gemini.
October 10: Pluto goes direct at 29 ° Capricorn

Online:

October 8, Tuesday, 7:30 pm CDT, $10, via Zoom, the Northern Illinois Chapter of NCGR will be presenting "Financial Outlook for 2025 and Beyond" with financial astrologer Susan Gidel.
