The total annular Solar Eclipse in Libra of October 14, 2023

The effect of an Eclipse can often be felt weeks in advance and it takes weeks to months before the effect wears off.

The majestic, annular or angular Total Solar Eclipse of October 14, 2023 falls on 21º08 in the Cardinal Sign of Libra.
This ‘Ring of Fire’ is visible in West Africa, North and South America, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.

This powerful total annular Solar Eclipse in Libra is ruled by Venus and has a major impact on interactions and relationship dynamics in general.

This total Solar Eclipse in Libra is all about termination and letting go.

Solar eclipses show our dark side through our behavior, which is triggered by an external event.
A Solar Eclipse reflects and makes us aware of how we behave.
The dark side can manifest itself in selfish or irresponsible or intentional conduct, possessiveness, manipulation and jealousy.
Due to the opposition with Eris in Aries (Pluto’s evil sister), this Solar Eclipse will become even stronger and more intense than it already is.

This Total Solar Eclipse is only 3 degrees away from the South Node (24º Libra).
The South Node symbolizes the past (karma) and what must be released to allow growth, paving the way for friendship, affinity, spiritual connection, redemption of karma, loyalty and trust.

This Solar Eclipse in Libra is conjunct Mercury, opposite retrograde Chiron in Aries and squares Pluto in Capricorn.
This field of tension releases unexpressed emotional pain and resentment from the past and underlying power dynamics in relationships, politics, business and friendships.

With the Lunar Nodes on the Aries/Libra axis we will be faced with drastic changes in relationships, partnerships, marriages, alliances and coalitions, so consider, for example, a wave of divorces and the breaking of coalitions.

Publicly influential figures may fall from grace, die, or some irreversible event occurs from this moment on and in the next six months.

This Solar Eclipse is a cosmic reminder that events or people around reflect your own behavior, you always see your own reflection and a piece of your inner world.
That piece of your inner world offers insight into yourself and how you position yourself in a relationship.

Do you give and take in equal proportion or do you take too much or give too much away?
What can you do to improve your role within the relationship?
Co-dependency, wanting to please the other person, becoming too attached to the partner, because you do not want to take responsibility for what you feel.
By focusing too much on the other person, you forget yourself.
