New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra
Relationships, Balance, Transformation

Solar eclipses bring transformative energies and mark a season of fated change and typically coincide with new beginnings.
This is the last eclipse that’ll take place in Libra until 2033, so while new moons bring fresh starts of some kind, this lunation will at the same time wrap up some old storylines, too — especially when it comes to relationships. This event invites radical changes in your relationships and relating patterns and sets in motion a drastic renewal of how you connect with others, your expectations, how you show up in your connections, the choices you make, the people you surround yourself with. And, this Solar Eclipse is connected to the eclipses back in March and April 2024 where whatever intentions were set at that time may now start to sprout and take off in growth.
This Eclipse represents new beginnings and holds the promise of change. It can activate new pathways and set you up on new journeys. It is about restoring a sense of equality within your closest connections while finding ways to stay true to yourself. And since the sign of Libra rules order, balance, harmony, relationships and partnerships, this Eclipse highlights how you interact with others and how to create more balance in your life, especially in your relationships.
Expect major shifts in some of your significant partnerships especially since eclipses have a way of shaking things up - be alert and adaptable, even if the changes feel unsettling. There may be decisions you have to make where you must weigh the pros and the cons leaving you feeling as if whichever direction you decide to take will alter the trajectory of your life in a significant way. Do your best to confront your problems head-on and stand up for what you believe in without giving away too much of your power. Once you face things and engage in a reality check, solutions, possibilities, and alternative approaches will present themselves.
You may need to face issues or conflict in your important relationships which could have you navigating rough waters whether it’s l etting go of outdated ways of thinking or doing or re-evaluating or removing relationships. If you choose to walk away from a relationship that has run its course or you have outgrown, it can feel as if it is “meant to be”— even if it uncomfortable. Once the dust settles, you will have a much better idea of why things happened and will see that releasing such a relationship will open the door for someone or something new to enter.
This Solar Eclipse encourages you to have new perspectives particularly in areas related to partnerships while emphasizing the importance of diplomacy and collaboration, urging you to find solutions that benefit everyone involved. It is an opportunity to practice putting yourself in other people’s shoes, refining your listening skills, and exploring diversity and differences with an open mind and open heart to learn from each other.
There may be patterns in your interactions with others that need to shift, especially where you’ve been out of sync with your core values or where relationships have felt one-sided. Ditch the people-pleasing and utilize tact. Do not be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you.

Because Libra’s energy promotes balance, focus on bringing greater fairness and equality into your life and especially your partnerships. This is also a powerful time to reconnect with your voice and reflect on your values.

Are you living according to your personal value system and taking aligned action daily?
What do you feel is right and is it just in your thoughts or also in your actions?
Do you need to set new boundaries?
Are there feelings or resentments you’ve avoided addressing with someone that has become impossible to ignore?

The Death card symbolizes transformation, change, and transition, and the end of a major phase or aspect of your life that you realize is no longer serving you, thereby opening up new opportunities and the possibility of something far more valuable and essential. Changes should be viewed as the clearing away of limiting factors so you can welcome the positives in your life and can open the door to a broader, more satisfying experience of life.
The Justice card is associated with Libra because of the scales of balance and the sword of truth. This card represents the ability to see a situation for what it truly is and to cut through the noise to make fair, balanced decisions. Your desire for balance and truth is what will help you achieve and experience fulfilment in your life. It also shows that you have a clear, long-term vision of what you want to achieve.
This Eclipse asks you to clear out anything doesn’t support new growth. To make space and a path for yourself or else the Universe will do it for you. There will be some life transition intensity during the Eclipse and several months thereafter; it’s essential to flow with this energy rather than resist it.
Take time to reflect on what areas of your life need more balance or closure, and then set your intentions for the next chapters. Eclipses are always times of profound change and new beginnings, and this one in particular invites you to bring balance to your relationships and personal goals allowing space for new opportunities and growth to come in.
Joyful and Peaceful Blessings,

Beginning this month, I will be taking a several month hiatus to focus on my healing journey that will involve a major medical surgery plus several months recovery time. At this time, my plans are to be back in January or February 2025 at which time I will resume the monthly Wise Owl Musings, posting on social media, and offering Readings. I hope you’ll join me then where we can once again discover what the Universe has to share with us.
