OCTOBER SOLAR ECLIPSE

October Solar Eclipse

On October 2, 2024, we will be experiencing a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Libra at 10°. 

If you have natal planets either conjunct, opposition or square to this position, primarily the Conjunction and Opposition, you will be affected by these energies, and possibly in a powerful manner depending on other transits in place at the time when this eclipse is in effect.  You can allow a 3° orb of influence, so planets between 7° and 13° of this placement in the appropriate signs will be influenced.  All major aspects will have some effect on this placement. 

A few months leading up to this timing will begin to show what has potential to manifest.  This influence can be strong for about one year, but last as long in years as the eclipse lasts in hours.  According to www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2024-october-2 the first location to see the partial eclipse begins at approximately 11:43 a.m EDT and the last place to see the partial eclipse ends at approximately 5:47 EDT.

Since this eclipse is in the sign of Libra (you always must take into consideration the sign and the house placement of any eclipse), the main influence will have to do with relationships.  This may include your spouse or significant other, close friends or business associates.  It involves fairness, justice, balancing, harmonious yearnings and perhaps making things right. 

It often encompasses new beginnings or endings and opportunities for significant change.  There is often an important shift where we must let go of what was or the past and move ahead possibly in a new direction.  Important life events are often tied to when Eclipses’ energies take hold, and again the house position will define what area of life may be involved.  Transformation and change are key characteristics of eclipses.  Sometimes it can bring unexpected change when we least anticipate it, but this change is often just what is needed in the long haul.

Transiting Mercury is closely tied to the conjunction of the Sun and Moon during this eclipse, and this suggests that the mind is closely tied to what takes place.  You may have been thinking about things for some time and now is the time for action or when action takes place.  Sometimes destiny seems to prevail and much of what takes place is beyond our control.  Things change because they need to.  Intensions play a big part in what unfolds, and goals also come into play.

Along with Transiting Mercury, we also have a Grand Water Trine with Venus (love and affection), Mars (sexual energy and drive) and Saturn (a steadying effect which can solidify things and bring stability).  The Grand Water Trine suggests emotional connections have the potential of working well and moving along nicely.  You are self-sufficient at handling any events that may unfold, and you do not depend on others to do the work necessary or to move you in the intended direction.  The emotions may be kept under wraps at this time as you know you can handle anything that may surface, and things flow without obstruction.

Embrace the energies of the October Solar Eclipse which will be influenced by the energies of Libra. Let go of the past and move forward into your new direction.

URANUS SEXTILE NATAL MERCURY

Currently (June 2024), transiting Uranus is at 24° in the sign of Taurus.  It will remain in its direct cycle until September 2, 2024, when it moves into its retrograde cycle.  You can use a 5–7° orb of influence to your Natal Mercury.  You should also look at Uranus in your natal chart along with the transiting position of Uranus.  Any aspects that Natal Uranus will also have an impact along with its house position and Mercury’s Natal house position.

While in its direct cycle which makes Uranus full in its expression, you can expect a disruption to what might be considered the norm.  You likely need to change on some level because things have either become dormant or you need a new direction.  Uranus will awaken you to new possibilities and push you in the direction these new avenues of expression have the potential to flourish.  It may take some time to realize the consequences of the energies, but know that after this connection, you will be exactly where you are required to be.

Uranus sectile Natal Mercury

A big part of what this sextile between Uranus and your Natal Mercury is about is mental reasoning.  The mind or focus is what this aspect is about.  An awakening is in the process of unfolding or is already in place depending on where your natal Mercury is situated in your chart by degree. 

A new train of thought, new daily activities, the formation of ideas that may enhance your perception or your life’s route and new concepts may now be activated.  You may have to grapple with these ideas especially if you are not comfortable with change but change you must if you are to awaken to new possibilities.  Those reluctant to change may have difficulties with this placement and especially those that are fixed in their opinions and belief structures. 

Even the way you express yourself may be invited to move in a new direction and others may see what is taking place and may not understand what is going on.  This may also affect siblings, daily activities, short distance travel, and schooling.  If this is a young individual experiencing this, some disorientation may be part of the process and their early educational activities may be subject to change. 

Some individuals will make plans to travel and often this may be nearby trips.  What we are referring to is this does not speak of long-distance travel.  Sometimes we decide to have a visit with our siblings or visit our aunts and uncles.

We may find that we have interesting and thought-provoking conversations that we would not normally have. 

Uranus sextile natal Mercury is an opportunity aspect and although often things just seem to fall into place, for more advantageous energies and opportunities to fall into place, we would do well if we initiated action that is required to make things happen.

LET GO OF WHAT NO LONGER SERVES YOU

Holding on to what used to be and knowing that it no longer suits your way forward, serves little purpose.

Perhaps you need to make changes. Perhaps the way you interact with your surroundings no longer suits your life. Perhaps you need to break free from old habits. Perhaps the true you need to be brought to the surface or you need to re-evaluated your goals.

Some may feel they need to change their surroundings and make a physical relocation.

Are you running away from something?

Most times issues follow us in life to ensure that we make a personal change, an inner change. Facing issues is always a prerequisite to resolution.

If real change is a requirement, it is time to face this requirement. Perhaps unworthiness has kept you from moving forward or perhaps the fear of the unknown is what is holding you back.

Do not let self-value and/or fear stand in the way of peace or growth. We all deserve peace and growth. Move ahead knowing that at some point in the future it will all make sense. It may be the most difficult thing you have done in your life but when something requires change and you are certain of it and you have honestly done all you can in the current situation, it might be time to cut ties with whatever it is that is holding you back.

Do it for you!
