"We are drowning in information, but we lack knowledge."

On October 2nd at 18:45:04 UTC We will have a annular solar eclipse in Libra . It will be visible from southern South America, Antarctica, Hawaii and Polynesia.

This eclipse will occur in the degree 10°03' of the sign. Since it is a solar eclipse, the Sun and Moon will be in exact conjunction at this degree. The last time there was an eclipse at 10° of Libra was on October 2, 2005 , so the themes we were experiencing at that time could "rhyme" with what we are experiencing for this eclipse.

Libra: Taking the Initiative to Balance, Harmonize, Exchange, Weigh

Libra energy is centered on balance, harmony, and the pursuit of justice. As a sign ruled by Venus , Libra is deeply connected to relationships, aesthetics, and the desire to create a pleasant environment both internally and externally. This cardinal (initiative) air (logic) sign is motivated by a desire to find balance between the different areas of life, constantly seeking fair agreements and equitable solutions . At its highest, Libra teaches us to see both sides of a situation, to carefully weigh our options, and to make decisions based on logic and reason, rather than being swept away by emotional impulses. However, this approach can also lead to indecisiveness or a tendency to avoid conflict in an effort to keep the peace. Planets in Libra seek harmony not only in their relationships with others, but also in their environment and in their own decisions, always trying to balance personal needs and desires with those of those around them.

South Node Eclipse: Goodbyes

A South Node eclipse signals a time of closure, diminishment, and release . Unlike North Node eclipses, which tend to bring new beginnings, South Node eclipses push us to let go of that which is no longer viable or has run its course. These eclipses invite us to reflect on what we need to reduce or let go of, whether it be habits, relationships, expectations, or projects that no longer add value to our current path. It is a process of purification and closure that is necessary to move forward with greater clarity and lightness.

Since this is a South Node eclipse, it is likely that Libra's not-so-positive expression will be the one that comes to light so that we can let go. As we saw above, Libra is a sign that is associated with weighing and comparing options . The fact that the eclipse manifests in this sign further reinforces the theme of the option that is no longer viable . Libra, as an air sign, asks us to reason and logically evaluate what it is that we should leave behind. This eclipse confronts us with decisions that must be made with a cool head and a balanced approach. It is about letting go in a calm and rational way, clearly understanding why some options no longer have a place in our future. This eclipse in Libra invites us to close these cycles peacefully, but firmly, always seeking balance and harmony in the process of saying goodbye.

This Eclipse and Political Leaders

In mundane astrology, solar eclipses are often associated with revelations regarding power figures, particularly rulers and leaders. The Sun in mundane astrology represents power and authority figures, so when an eclipse occurs, especially a South Node eclipse , it can mean closure or a major revelation about the state of said power. In this context, many global power figures are likely to face the end of their rule or loss of influence , being left behind as options that are no longer viable.

Benjamin Netanyahu:

This eclipse falls on his natal Mercury, which is the ruler of his Midheaven (the point associated with his career and public position). This suggests that Netanyahu will experience a major closure in his political life and it is practically a given that we will see the end of his leadership in Israel within the not-too-distant future.

Alberto Fernandez (former president of Argentina):

On the other hand, the eclipse is in opposition to Alberto Fernández's Sun , indicating a conflictual aspect, as oppositions in astrology often represent tensions with adversaries. Fernández, who is currently facing legal proceedings, will likely see his clashes intensify under this eclipse.

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (former president of Argentina):

This eclipse forms an opposition with Mars in Cristina Fernández's birth chart, ruler of her 7th House. This is the house of enemies and associations. This suggests that Alberto Fernández's - her former running mate - legal problems may spill over into Cristina Fernández , creating difficulties and challenges in her political environment.

Mexico:

This eclipse also has a profound impact on Mexico, as it falls on its Imum Coeli , which is directly related to the change of government that is taking place. However, as it is such a crucial point in the country's chart, it is possible that this eclipse reveals something deeper, a transformation in the structure or foundations of the nation that has not yet come to light.

Donald Trump:

This eclipse also forms a square to Donald Trump's natal Mercury in Cancer, which is the ruler of his 2nd House. This eclipse is likely to bring to light something strange or unclear about his resources or financial connections , which could bring further scrutiny to his persona.

Maria Corina Machado:

Finally, this eclipse has an important conjunction with Maria Corina Machado's Sun, suggesting a key event in her political life. This eclipse is likely to mark a turning point in her leadership or a significant change in her role in Venezuelan politics.

Conjunction with Mercury:

Returning to the personal dimension that this eclipse brings us, it is in conjunction with Mercury, which further highlights the importance of rational thought and communication in the closing processes that this eclipse brings with it. Mercury, as the planet of the mind, analysis and expression, encourages us to reflect deeply on our decisions and to verbalize what we need to let go of. This conjunction suggests that we will not only be mentally evaluating the options that are no longer viable, but it will also be crucial to communicate our decisions clearly and effectively. It is a time when dialogues, negotiations and pending conversations can arise, giving us the opportunity to close cycles from a logical and well-founded perspective. This influence of Mercury also invites us to pay attention to details and avoid falling into misunderstandings, always seeking to express our ideas clearly and precisely while making important decisions.

Corresponding Sabian Symbol: Libra 11, "A Professor Looking at His Pupils Over His Spectacles."

(Don't you know what Sabian symbols are? Find out with this guide )

The eclipse occurs at 10°03' Libra. Its corresponding Sabian symbol is Libra 11 , which invites us to observe carefully and pay special attention to the information we are receiving and transmitting. This symbol speaks of the responsibility to go deeper, to make sure that we are not staying on the surface , but that we are really becoming aware of the information we perceive. It is about reflecting on whether what we let into our mind nourishes us, if it is aligned with our values and if it helps us grow as people.

This is relevant in the current context, where misinformation and fake news are common in the media. It asks us to evaluate not only the veracity of what we transmit, but also whether that information is aligned with our values and helps us grow as individuals.

On a personal level, this symbol also relates to the way we communicate with others . It reminds us of the importance of making sure our message comes across clearly, respectfully and honestly , avoiding superficiality. Just like in journalism, where it is vital to verify the accuracy of information, on an individual level we must ensure that our words build bridges of understanding with others. Information that does not resonate with this integrity and purpose will have to be discarded, allowing only what really has value to remain and guide us towards better communication and relationships with others.

Questions to Ponder During This Eclipse:

1. What things in my life have been giving me a false sense of balance?

2. Am I making decisions based on a logical and objective evaluation of the options, or am I holding on to what no longer works for fear of letting go?

3. How can I ensure that I treat information with respect and greater awareness?

4. What recent revelations have shown me that certain relationships or agreements are no longer in balance, and how can I act from clarity and justice?

5. How can I review my communication to ensure that my messages are clear, respectful and build bridges of understanding?

Grand Trine in Water: Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer and Saturn RX in Pisces

This configuration - which occurs simultaneously with the eclipse - presents us with great potential, but to take advantage of it we will have to face the most challenging part of these energies . Venus is in detriment in Scorpio, Mars is in fall in Cancer, and Saturn, in retrograde in Pisces, is in a sign ruled by Jupiter, with whom it does not have a harmonious relationship. This grand trine invites us to become aware of the deep emotions that need to be healed. Venus, as ruler of this eclipse due to its regency over Libra, confronts us with the issue of the loss of emotional power or the fear of opening up for fear of being hurt, a central issue in Scorpio. This aspect calls us to work with our vulnerabilities, facing fear and allowing hidden and uncomfortable emotions to come to light to be transformed. To take advantage of this trine, it will be key to heal those emotional wounds and not escape the lessons that these planetary positions offer us. We will probably feel some confusion and/or resentment , but on the other side of this discomfort there is a much more serene mind waiting for us.

This Eclipse is the Opportunity to:

1. Accept temporary discomfort

This eclipse invites you to accept that you might not feel all that well, and that there's nothing wrong with that. This is not a time to fight the energies or force yourself to be active. Instead of avoiding it, allow this time of downtime and reflection to help you process what you need internally.

2. Deepen communication

It's a good time to review how you communicate, not only with others, but also with yourself. Make sure that your words and thoughts truly reflect what you feel and think, and that you are building bridges of understanding, rather than misunderstandings.

3. Evaluate your emotional decisions

This eclipse in Libra invites you to look deeply at your emotional decisions. Ask yourself if you are acting from fear or trust, and how you can heal the emotions that are holding you back in unhealthy patterns.

4. Open yourself to emotional transformation

It's time to accept the emotional transformations that scare you. If you're afraid of being vulnerable or losing control, now is the time to work through those emotions and allow the emotional transformation to strengthen you.

5. Close cycles consciously

This South Node eclipse invites us to close important cycles. Don't do it impulsively; instead, take the time to reflect and make sure that the closures you make are aligned with your emotional well-being and personal growth.

6. Take emotional distance

This eclipse helps you to distance yourself from situations that are not indifferent to you, allowing you to analyze them from a more detached perspective. Look at the facts without clinging emotionally, which will allow you to make more objective decisions.

7. Evaluate your relationships more clearly

It's a good time to review your closest relationships and question whether they're in balance or whether you need to make adjustments. Evaluate how you can relate from a place of mutual respect and personal growth.

8. Recognize and heal deep emotions

This eclipse activates a potential to heal emotions you have been repressing. To move forward, you need to accept that these wounds exist and take control of your emotional process. This is a powerful time to heal and release.

9. Trust in the power of your decisions

This eclipse asks you to review your past decisions and how they have affected your present. It is a good time to trust that by becoming aware of your emotions and responsibilities, you can create a stronger foundation for your future.

What Might You Need to Let Go of? Look at the House in Your Natal Chart Where This Eclipse Falls:

You have to look at which house of your birth chart the degree 10°03' of Libra , that is where this solar eclipse will fall.

Tip: Think back to what was happening in your life in October 2005 , the date of the last eclipse in this degree of Libra. That moment and now are connected.

House 1: Identity and Personal Appearance

If this eclipse falls in your 1st House, it may be an invitation to reflect on how you see yourself and how you project yourself to others. Perhaps you have been holding onto a version of yourself that no longer feels authentic or no longer reflects who you really are. This eclipse suggests that it is time to let go of certain masks or expectations that you have adopted in order to fit in or to meet what others expect of you. It is not about radically changing, but about letting go of what no longer resonates with your current identity and allowing yourself to be more true to yourself.

It may also involve closing a personal project or initiative that, although it was once meaningful to you, no longer has the same weight in your life. Perhaps you have been clinging to a goal that once gave you momentum, but that has now lost its relevance. This eclipse invites you to allow yourself to close that cycle with serenity, knowing that it no longer drives you as it once did. By doing so, you open space for new opportunities that are more aligned with your present.

House 2: Finance and Values

If this eclipse falls in your 2nd House, you may be invited to reflect on your relationship with money, material resources, and your sense of personal worth. Perhaps it's time to let go of ideas or attitudes that are no longer sustainable in terms of how you manage your finances or how you value what you have. It may be that in the past you have been too attached to material security, or that you have defined your worth through what you own or earn. This eclipse invites you to close cycles in which you have felt limited by an overly rigid vision of value, both financial and personal.

You may also notice that some source of income, a financial project, or a way of managing your resources is no longer viable and needs to be transformed. This eclipse does not necessarily bring losses, but it does bring the opportunity to let go of a way of relating to your material possessions that no longer brings you balance. It is a good time to reevaluate what really gives you security, allowing what no longer works to be left behind and making room for a new way of relating to your resources and your own worth.

House 3: Communication and Learning

If this eclipse falls in your 3rd House, you may feel the need to let go of old ways of communicating or thought patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you've been holding on to certain ways of expressing yourself that worked for you in the past, but now don't allow you to grow or make clear connections with others. This eclipse invites you to let go of any tendency to procrastinate or avoid important conversations, especially those that could lead to deeper understanding with others.

It's also a good time to reflect on your ideas and beliefs, and see if any of them no longer resonate with the person you've become. Sometimes, we keep repeating thoughts or ways of seeing the world without stopping to question them. This eclipse gives you the opportunity to close cycles in how you process information and how you share it, allowing you to adopt a more fluid, sincere communication aligned with your personal growth. If there are conversations or communication projects that no longer make sense or have lost relevance, it's a good time to release them and make space for a new way of thinking and communicating.

House 4: Home and Family

If this eclipse falls in your 4th House, you might find yourself reflecting on your sense of home, your family roots, and your emotional connection to the past. You may realize that certain family dynamics, bonds, or attitudes toward your home no longer provide you with the same sense of security or stability as they once did. This eclipse invites you to let go of any attachment to a rigid idea of what your home should be or the family expectations you've been carrying around.

It could also be a time to let go of any emotional attachments to a physical place or situation in your personal life that no longer feels aligned with you. Perhaps it's time to close chapters related to your home life, where you live, or how you perceive emotional stability in your environment. This eclipse suggests that by letting go of what is no longer viable, you can make room for a new stage in your domestic and emotional life, one that brings you greater balance and well-being.

House 5: Creativity and Pleasure

If this eclipse falls in your 5th House, it may be time to reflect on how you express yourself creatively and how you enjoy life. You may realize that some form of self-expression or activity that used to bring you joy no longer brings you the same satisfaction. This eclipse invites you to let go of the need for your creativity or moments of pleasure to follow a pattern that no longer resonates with you. Perhaps you have been holding on to a form of enjoyment or a creative project that has already run its course and needs to be transformed or brought to a close.

It's also an opportunity to release any pressure you feel about how you should express yourself or have fun. Perhaps you've been seeking external recognition or validation in your creative pursuits or love life, and this eclipse invites you to let go of that expectation. By letting go of what's no longer viable in your creative or emotional life, you can open yourself up to more authentic and balanced ways of enjoying, loving, and creating.

House 6: Health, Productivity and Daily Routines

If this eclipse falls in your 6th House, it invites you to reflect on your daily routines, your approach to work, and your physical well-being. You may realize that certain work habits or dynamics are no longer viable, especially in terms of how you communicate. This eclipse suggests that it's time to let go of old ways of communicating or interacting in the work environment that are no longer working or that are holding you back.

Perhaps you've been using a communication style that makes you feel overwhelmed or doesn't facilitate understanding with others. This eclipse is an opportunity to leave behind ineffective communication patterns at work, which could include everything from avoiding difficult conversations to not clearly expressing your boundaries and needs. By closing this cycle, you'll be able to adopt a way of communicating that is more efficient and aligned with your well-being, both at work and in your health.

House 7: Relationships and Partnerships

If this eclipse falls in your 7th House, you may be invited to reflect on your closest relationships, both personal and professional. You may realize that certain dynamics in your relationships are no longer viable or that an important partnership has reached a point where it needs to be reconsidered. This eclipse invites you to let go of patterns of relationship behavior that are no longer balanced, such as the need to please others at the expense of your own needs, or the fear of confronting uncomfortable situations for fear of conflict.

It's a good time to let go of any tendency to procrastinate when it comes to dealing with problems in your relationships, or to avoid important conversations. By closing cycles in this area, you can make room for more honest and balanced relationships, where communication and mutual understanding play a bigger role. This eclipse suggests that by letting go of what no longer works in your relationships, you can move toward more authentic and fulfilling connections.

House 8: Transformation, Grief and Shared Resources

If this eclipse falls in your 8th House, it invites you to reflect on issues related to deep transformation, intimacy, and shared resources. Perhaps you realize that you have been sustaining dynamics in your most intimate relationships that are no longer viable, or you have clung to a way of handling shared resources (financial or emotional) that no longer allows you to grow. This eclipse suggests you let go of the fear of losing control or being vulnerable in situations where intimacy or mutual trust are key.

It can also be a time to release any attachments to old wounds or unresolved emotions that have been blocking your ability to transform. It is a good time to close cycles related to mistrust or fear of betrayal, allowing what no longer serves you emotionally to fall behind. By letting go of these patterns, you can open yourself to a deeper, more authentic way of sharing, both emotionally and materially, with others.

House 9: Expansion and Philosophy of Life

If this eclipse falls in your 9th House, it's a good time to reflect on your beliefs, the way you see the world, and how you seek to expand your horizons. You may realize that some beliefs or perspectives you've held no longer resonate with you and may in fact be limiting your growth. This eclipse invites you to let go of those beliefs or philosophies that no longer support you in your personal evolution, allowing you to make room for a broader and deeper understanding of life.

It is also a good time to reconsider the approaches you have taken toward education, travel, or any pursuit of personal expansion. Perhaps some educational goal or life experience you had in mind is no longer viable or relevant to your current situation. By closing these cycles, you will be able to free yourself from the limitations placed on you by certain worldviews, allowing you to move toward new forms of knowledge and personal expansion that are more aligned with your current self.

House 10: Career and Ambitions

If this eclipse falls in your 10th House, it invites you to reflect on your career, your professional aspirations, and the way you are perceived publicly. You may realize that certain professional goals or ambitions are no longer aligned with your personal growth, or perhaps an image you have built around your reputation no longer represents you in the same way. This eclipse suggests letting go of the need to cling to a career or path that, while once meaningful, no longer propels you forward.

It's also a good time to reconsider how you handle your reputation and the expectations others have placed on you. Perhaps you've been striving to meet an external vision of success that no longer resonates with your true purpose. By closing cycles in this area, you'll be able to open yourself up to new opportunities and directions that are more aligned with your current sense of success and fulfillment, allowing your career and aspirations to evolve into something more authentic.

House 11: Community and Long-Term Goals

If this eclipse falls in your 11th House, it's a time to reflect on your relationships with groups of people, friendships, and your collective projects. You may realize that you've been procrastinating on making decisions about which friendships or alliances no longer bring you balance. This eclipse invites you to let go of those relationships that you've been maintaining out of inertia or a sense of obligation. It could be that certain friendships or group projects are no longer aligned with your current values or don't have the impact they once had.

This eclipse also asks you to evaluate your long-term goals. Perhaps there are dreams or projects that no longer resonate with the person you are today. It is time to let go of those goals that, although they motivated you in the past, are no longer viable or do not allow you to move forward in a balanced way. Releasing these connections and objectives will make room for new friendships and projects that are more aligned with your current vision.

House 12: Spirituality and Unconscious

If this eclipse falls in your 12th House, the emphasis is on letting go of unconscious patterns and emotional cycles that have been limiting you without you even realizing it. Perhaps you have been carrying around fears or repressed emotions that are preventing you from moving forward, and this eclipse invites you to recognize that some of these patterns are no longer viable for your personal growth. It's a good time to close cycles related to self-destructive habits or the tendency to avoid facing your deepest emotions.

This eclipse could also suggest that it's time to let go of the need to isolate yourself or repress your feelings for fear of being vulnerable. Perhaps you've been putting off confronting certain aspects of your emotional life, and this eclipse gives you the opportunity to do so, releasing what no longer serves you in the process. By closing these emotional cycles, you can open yourself up to a deep, spiritual transformation that will take you to a place of greater peace and inner balance.
