The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra peaked Wedenesday, October 2 at 2:49 pm EST, and none of us are exempt from its intensity.
Before we get into the energy of Libra, I want to remind you that Eclipse Season is nothing to fear. It’s just intense.
Eclipses amplify the energy of the Full and New Moons. They intensify our relationship with releasing what doesn’t serve and calling in what does. They exist to bring us into alignment with what is truly meant for us…Eclipses are like Full or New Moons on crack.
They don’t always necessarily FEEL good, but we are always being guided towards our highest good. And if we can trust that, Eclipse Season starts to feel a little better. It might even make sense…
You may have heard not to manifest during Eclipses, and I deeply disagree with that sentiment. Our thoughts and our actions are all part of the constant conversation we are having with the universe, and that conversation IS the manifesting. We are always manifesting, and that does not and should not stop during Eclipse Season.
Why would you NOT take advantage of the most potent cosmic energy available? It may feel a little unhinged, but if you take your meditation practice seriously, you absolutely can harness it into the direction you want it to go in.
Instead of trying to avoid manifesting, meditate. Infuse discipline into your thoughts and your actions, and be direct and clear about what it is you are wanting to create.
What that looks like for this particular New Moon in Libra is paying attention to the larger issues around you. Noticing how you show up in the spaces you occupy, and seeing how you can create harmony and balance within them. This doesn’t mean trying to make things 50/50 - it means allowing space for experiences and perspectives besides your own.
Now is a good time to focus on the belief systems that have been sabotaging you. What lessons do you keep coming up against? And what needs to be released in order to stop reliving them?
We have to get clear on what we need to let go of (and start letting go) in order to create and fill that space with new things that are aligned with our destiny.
Remember: true change takes time.
Eclipse season isn’t a sudden cut; it's more of a "slowly, then all at once" process. What’s being removed from your life has likely shown itself as unaligned for a while now. The Eclipse just adds a sense of pressure or urgency to get you to finally let go.
This doesn’t necessarily mean you want to let it go—you might even be trying to save it. But if you choose to hold onto it, be prepared to make concessions in other areas of your life. Because there’s only so much room…

So now for Libra energy.
Libra is a beautiful sign that highlights the justice, balance and harmony in our lives, especially in our relationships. Most of us jump to thinking about interpersonal relationships when we even hear the word “relationship”, but this New Moon is about so much more than that.
This Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse asks us to look closely at the way we relate to everything around us. It is about our entire experience on the planet, and how we relate to it all. It means getting honest with ourselves about the places we are the problem, and the places we are the solution. And then doing something about it.
This means we are looking closely at our thoughts and our actions regarding our relationships with the world, the people around us, who we currently are, and who we want to become.
Ask yourself:
How can you see the world (or a specific situation) through a different lens than just the one you are currently looking through?
How can you allow opposing experiences to co-exist together in unity?
How can you treat everyone (including yourself) with respect, kindness, grace and love, regardless of what you think things should be vs. how they currently are?
Right now, we are being pushed (kind of aggressively) to look at all of our relationships, and our relationship with our relationships. It’s an intense, uncomfortable - but if you’re connected and grounded - exciting time to break free from old patterns and step into a new way of relating - one that fosters balance, harmony and beauty.
