New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra

October 2, 2024:  New Moon Solar Eclipse at Libra 10°03’, 2:49 pm EDT.

 

This Solar Eclipse, visible in southern and central South America, is the exit point of a portal formed with the September 17 Lunar Eclipse. When we emerge from the Eclipse Portal – as we are now doing – we step into a new 5-month phase of experience.

 

This Eclipse falls on the 10th degree of Libra. The Sun/Moon conjunction is on the same degree as transiting Black Moon Lilith. Lilith is the instinctual, wild aspect of the feminine.

 

Lilith is reviled by many. This is the woman who will not submit to the cultural expectations of society. Libra is the sign of balance and harmony. Libra longs for relationship, and the rebellion of Lilith in Libra is expressed through relationship. In its shadow, Libra can people please - a deeply felt desire to maintain harmony at all costs. This is a misunderstanding of relationship. Relationships require honesty and being honest in relationships sometimes causes strife. Lilith did not people please, but she was honest!

 

In the Egyptian pantheon, Libra is allied with Ma’at, the goddess of balance, justice and truth. Like astrological Libra, Ma’at’s symbol is the scale. Ma’at represents the resolution of duality. This resolution is attained by accepting and valuing both ends of the spectrum. Good and evil, light and dark, birth and death – all have a place.

 

The place lies within us. If we do not have the ability to recognize both the light and the dark within us – if we recognize only one end of the spectrum - we are polarizing. We will have a hidden agenda – a desire to control so we feel safe in our projections of who the other is. This is not real relationship. Relationships are messy, particularly when Lilith is present. In all things, consider the opposite.
