Now in Aries season, the Astrological New Year begins. With the entry of the Sun in Aries and the Equinox of equal light and dark, the Cosmos underlines the need for balance with the first Eclipse of 2024, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra, This penumbral lunar phase is more subtle, yet brings profound awareness of our individual desires and the needs of those we are in relationship with, urging a deep contemplation of our personal connections and the dynamics within them.
The sign of the scales, Libra seeks peace and embodies the essence of cooperation, equilibrium, justice, and partnership. Governed by Venus, the Goddess of Love, this air sign elevates the concept of beauty; through the arts, compromise, diplomacy and the ability of seeing through another's eyes. With Venus currently in Pisces in a close embrace with Saturn in Pisces, we deeply sense that enduring love requires commitment and responsibility.
The opposition with the Sun in Aries, as well as the North Node, Chiron and Mercury in Aries reveals the potential for powerful healing and the evolutionary path forward. In recognizing and releasing limiting fears we are more able to speak truthfully, set appropriate boundaries and claim ourselves that results in more honest, equitable and healthy interactions and relationships.
Pluto in Aquarius offers a powerful reminder to examine our shadows and be honest with ourselves as well as with others in claiming freedom and authenticity within our partnerships including communities we align with. Neptune in Pisces opens us to greater compassion and intuition however, be careful of seeing only what you want to see. Deception and confusion is possible, it’s best to take the blinders off and face what needs attention.
This eclipse challenges us to confront and release patterns of co-dependency, indecision, and sidestepping confrontation and to question where we may be giving too much or perhaps not enough in any area of life that feels out of balance. As the Moon casts its shadow, emotions pause; we are called to contemplate the foundations of our relationships. Are they built on mutual respect and understanding? Do they allow for individual growth as well as shared success? It's a time for recalibration, for finding the courage to address and heal any rifts, to advocate for fairness and equality in our interactions.
During this Libra Full Moon Eclipse keep an open heart and mind. Trust in the changes this eclipse brings, now and in the future and embrace the lessons of love, partnership and self-awareness. With sometimes unexpected revelations and shifts in perspective, let this be a time of emotional transformation and reset, where the bonds we build or nurture moving forward are reflections of our highest selves, imbued with the light of understanding, respect, and genuine affection. As we navigate this lunar dance of light and shadow, may intuition illuminate our path to more beauty, balance and harmony within ourselves and our lives.
