New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Libra 2024

On October 2nd at 11:49 AM PDT we will witness a powerful luminary event! Not only do we have a New Moon at 10 degrees Libra alongside the Sun to compel us to scatter the seeds of our hopes and dreams in fertile soil, but also a Solar Eclipse to usher in our personal rebirth; redefining our identity. This is the 5th and final Eclipse of the Libra/Aries axis for this year, after 4 major Eclipse events.

The full effect of this Solar Eclipse can be seen across the Pacific Ocean, parts of Southern Chili and Southern Argentina. As it casts its shadow across the Earth, see it metaphorically as a time to let go of old patterns, beliefs, and experiences that no longer serve us. The shadow taking our unwanted shadows with it.

We had a Solar Eclipse in Aries on 4/19/23, a Solar Eclipse in Libra 10/14/23, a Lunar Eclipse in Libra on 3/24/24, and a Solar Eclipse in Aries on 4/8/24. This Solar Eclipse in Libra is down the road from when all of this started. These events are to clarify what needs releasing and what needs creating whether in our bodies, our minds, our lives, relationships, you name it.

Libra is about balance, justice, fairness, in all of our interactions with others. It rules partnerships, marriage, and all one to one relationships. After spending this much time living through this Eclipse season, we must now be aware of where in our life there isn’t balance, where we made agreements and promises to others that now seem unfair. Now is the time to reexamine what isn’t working and to resolve these issues, bringing about harmony and stability, not to mention peace of mind!.

Mercury joins the luminaries at 11 degrees Libra, accentuating the ability to see both sides of an issue, and to negotiate and bring about compromise and reconciliation. Tactful, reasonable, and with considerable social finesse, you can articulate well with people in business as well as in personal relationships. You feel objective and somewhat detached from emotional bias, making this the perfect time to reach out and settle what needs settling.

There is a square from Mars at 15 degrees Cancer, a powerful energy that can manifest in two ways. One, it brings Mars, the war planet into the mix, which adds power and protection in the sign of Cancer. The only instance in which you will really fight is when you feel your loved ones, or something dear to you, is being harmed; for then you are a fierce defender.

You’ll have a very strong protective side, compelling you to act on impulse and instinct. Or two, you may lash out at anyone you perceive as threatening. After all, Cancer is the sign of the Mother, one who loves and fiercely defends those they love. Strike a balance between these by remembering we all are experiencing this event in one way or another, and be compassionate.

You may choose to celebrate this moment with writings in your journal of who and what you want to be within your relationships. All the planets, including a Grand Water trine between Venus, Mars and Saturn work alongside you, opening your heart and committing to positive changes you can make. Rather than rock the boat, LET GO!

Say and do what you need to with the notion you can walk in another’s shoes to understand where they are coming from. Then you can speak their language in order to really be felt and heard. We are nearing the end of this Aries/Libra axis Eclipse season, lessons about “me and we”; the final Eclipse in this axis next year on March 29th at 3:58 AM PST. Wouldn’t it be great if on that occasion you see how far you’ve come in relation to others in the world, and how well you know yourself and your motivations? Time to clean house, mentally speaking, clear the cobwebs in your mind that keep unconscious cues and responses in place, and open your body mind to a rebirth, a redefinition of who you are now. Why drag the past into the future?

The Autumnal Equinox 2024

The season begins on September 22nd at 5:43 AM PDT, when the Sun is stationed at 0 degrees Libra 0 minutes. We have been feeling the weather change already, the leaves falling, and the days becoming shorter... Let this be a time of celebration, a time where we harvest the produce in all its glory after the Summer growth. We are blessed with this season of transformation, and our thoughts go to preparing for Winter. With the Sun entering the sign of Libra, we are looking at the balance between productivity and contemplation.

The Autumnal (or Fall) Equinox is the halfway point between the Summer and Winter Solstices and marks the precise moment when the Sun appears directly over the Earth's equator. The ancient ones marked this time as Mabon, a time-honored celebration of balance, abundance, and gratitude. Mabon is essentially a harvest festival. Ancient Celts and pagans used this day to give thanks to nature for a good harvest and to pray to their gods and goddesses that the crop would last throughout the winter.

There are time honored ways to celebrate this day. Here are some suggestions:

• First harvest your garden, and preserve the food to last over the winter Create a Feast!

• Set a beautiful table full of Fall colors, maybe a cornucopia with delicious fruits and beauty spilling out of it

• Dress up in your finest, play the part with jewelry that is a symbol of your desires and wishes; become a living altar

• Create a "corn dollie", craft it with care and hang it in your home to invoke blessings for abundance and sustenance in the leaner months. It is a talisman of continuity

• Light a bonfire or candles; let go of any and all negativity and use this act of purification and renewal to cleanse you

The Equinox directs our bodies to reset its internal clock, so don't worry if your sleep cycle changes. For those with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), this time of year can lead to changes in serotonin and melatonin levels, which does affect sleep and mood patterns. You may even experience hypersomnia, where you have daytime sleepiness. Remember, we are moving into the "Dreamtime" part of the year, when the animal kingdom hibernates after filling their bodies with food throughout the Summer. Allow yourself to glide into this season, aware of the changes ahead, but taking a moment to observe the balance of the day and night for this moment in time. Enjoy!

Thank you Judy for sharing your wisdom!

Full Moon in Pisces 2024

On September 17th at 7:35 PM PDT not only do we have a full Moon, but a Supermoon partial Lunar Eclipse! This is a powerful lunation cycle for all of us. The Moon appears larger than normal, as its orbit is closer to the Earth. And we have the first Pisces partial Lunar Eclipse to begin the Eclipse season in this sign.

The Harvest Moon happens each year at this time as we gather our crops we have tended since their Spring planting. As the Full Moon is the culmination of what we hoped and planned for when the Moon was new in this sign, we look back to March 10th of this year. When the Moon was new at that time, what were you wishing for? If it was aligned with the energy of this sign, it may have been something to do with charity, spirituality, creativity, and/or because it is a sign of endings, of graduation. Ruling the last house, Pisces is all about what needs attention before rebirth. It is potentially the highest version of humanity, or, the least conscious, escaping responsibility.

You may have discovered it was time to let go of people, addictions, and your tendencies to resist breaking free from limitation. Being such a sensitive and passive energy it takes true courage to resist looking the other way when things are just wrong in your life. Well now the culmination is here in the most powerful way, with the potential for rebirth. The Virgo/Pisces axis represents the axis of Service. Virgo symbolizes daily service within one ́s immediate surroundings, everyday work, help and contributions. Pisces represents transcendent, spiritual service that goes beyond personal benefit. You will feel the effects of this powerful energy the week prior to and the week after this Super Full Moon.

On this occasion the Sun in Virgo is part of a Grand Earth Trine between it and Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn. If you have planets or luminaries from 24-29 degrees in any of these signs, you will experience the potential to foster a strong connection to the physical world and a deep understanding of the practicalities required for success and fulfillment. At the same time there is a Mutable T-Square between the Sun in Virgo, Moon in Pisces, and Jupiter in Gemini. A T-Square is formed when (at least) two planets or luminaries in opposition (180°) both aspect a third planet by square (90°). This third planet, known as the focal planet or apex, is situated around the midpoint of the opposition. In this case, we look to Jupiter in Gemini for answers. Both ends of the opposition are in square to the focal planet. Squares appear as dynamic, recurring obstacles across our path — ones that require serious effort in order to create something of value.

The Sun square Jupiter brings big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. You’ll tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to misjudge through over-optimism if you’re not careful. However, you never lose your hopes for the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life can be troublesome for you at this time. The square to the Moon exaggerates your emotional generosity and lack of pettiness, often encouraging others to seek you out for help, sympathy, or advice. You’ll feel willing to overlook others' faults, and sometimes overdo your charitableness. So Jupiter in Gemini asks us to think things through in order to strike a balance between charity and self caring.

This partial Lunar Eclipse will be visible in most of North America, all of South America, and Europe. Also all but easternmost parts of Africa, the western portion of Asia and Russia, and parts of Antarctica. Our opportunity is here to help each other in our world, in very practical ways as well as spiritually, through giving of ourselves unconditionally. We all need help sometimes, and now more than ever! So get out under the stars and dream the big dream, celebrate the beauty of the Supermoon Eclipse, and be one with humanity.

Thank you for you brilliance Judy!! I 💓 You!
