Eclipse season starts, and it can change everything.
pixelfit from Getty Images Signature, blewulis from Getty Images | Canva Pro Take what you've learned and use it as an opportunity to become better. Embrace where you are within this moment, focus on your joys and those aspects of life you would rearrange as you make the pieces fit more snugly in your puzzle of authenticity. Exhale all that has happened as you look forward and realize everything had to happen precisely as it did to deliver you into this divine opportunity to become better.
October 2023 brings in lighter energy as Venus in Leo finally exits its post-shadow retrograde phase and promptly shifts into Virgo, helping you feel more grounded and make plans for your life. Although Venus was direct in September 2023, many times, the post-shadow phase still feels quite murky as you work through the ultimate purpose of events and decide on how that plays into what you choose to do now.
This lightness is reinforced as Pluto is direct in Capricorn, helping you leave your internal space of simply reflecting and instead taking action toward the changes you desire. October 2023 is all about transformation, intensified by Eclipse Season, and will help you embrace the knowledge acquired during the retrograde season to take up arms for what you want to create in this life.
A new eclipse cycle began in April 2023 in Aries and Libra, where you were given a sneak peek of upcoming events. While the previous cycle of Taurus and Scorpio is still winding down, October 2023 represents a time when you can take what you've learned since April and implement it into a new phase of life.
In April 2023, a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries helped to fuel the fires of independence as you were directed to focus on yourself and your desires. As the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra rises in October 2023, you are now asked to implement what you've learned about your relationships with others. Aries and Libra help you balance the me versus we mentality as you can practice advocating for yourself while tending to those important interpersonal relationships.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra in October 2023 is your chance to look toward the future, proclaim what is most important to you, and find a greater balance within your life. As you realize just how necessary the past few months have been and begin to embody those divine lessons, you are on the threshold of greatness.
Eclipses are a potent energy to manifest as they provide an energetic boost, especially as this solar eclipse represents the action you take to create what you most want. Manifesting with the Solar Eclipse in Libra asks you to embrace the element of air while also focusing on the direct steps you can take to raise your vibration and attract more of what you desire.
Focus on incorporating herbs into your daily and monthly rituals this month, representing the zodiac sign of Libra, such as catnip, lavender, elderberry or thyme. You can also use crystals like clear quartz, rose quartz or tiger's eye. Whether as part of a ritual or simply honoring the element of air in your life, use the essential oils of gardenia, rose and jasmine, which represent Libra. They can help you align yourself with the universe's energy as it adds momentum and strength to your vibration, allowing you to manifest with tremendous success.
