Eclipse in Libra Horoscope

Today at 2:48PM EST, a Solar Eclipse will take place at 10°03’ Libra.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun & Moon conjoin (New Moon) close to one of the Nodes of the Moon (which are always exactly 180° apart). When the Nodes move through a pair of signs (over approx. 18 months), eclipses happen in the houses of our chart which contain these signs. Eclipses are dramatic, unpredictable events - however, the stories they represent unfold through longer periods of time & are not always spectacular! A good way to understand the themes they will activate in your life is to look at the & houses the Nodes transit in your chart.
Shaking us to our core, this eclipse — conjunct Mercury and squaring Mars in Cancer is an intense one. Taking place in the second decan of Libra, which is associated with the influence of Saturn, the eclipse suggests a period where themes of commitment, responsibility, and the practical side of relationships come to the forefront. While Saturn is in the second of Pisces, there may be a need to confront serious matters in partnerships, establish clearer boundaries, or make decisions that require maturity and patience.
It’s a good time to evaluate long-term commitments, ensuring they are built on fairness, mutual respect, and shared goals. The square to Mars in Cancer can also indicate a clash of values when it comes to intimacy and the way others make you feel (un)safe. The pendant of the last eclipse on April 8 at 19° Aries, this moment invites us to think about our relationship to the self vs others: what is worth shedding, and what is keeping? Who affirms our sense of self, versus who instills discomfort & makes us feel inadequate?
As the eclipse cycle finishes to unfold on the Aries/Libra axis, consider these questions seriously as they will be key to what happens next. Look to the wheel of significations below & what houses Libra occupies in your chart to determine what themes this eclipse will activate.
