In just a couple of weeks, we'll have our second Solar Eclipse for 2024, and this time it comes in Libra. This is the second Solar Eclipse we've had in Libra as we also had one about one year ago, and we won't have another one again for years.
Eclipses are times of big developments, and Solar Eclipses love big new beginnings, new ventures, new projects, new journeys in life. We tend to see big things getting off of the ground with Solar Eclipses, and this is usually centered around the sign they occur in. Make the most of this Libra Solar Eclipse by following this 6-point checklist: 01: Commit and be healthy.
Libra is the sign of commitment, so focus on existing commitments you already have. This can be with romantic partners, friends or family, work relationships, allies, and more, as well as with projects, plans, ideas, and promises you've committed to.
How well are you holding up your end of the bargain? If you can do better, think about ways you can improve. And if it feels like you're doing all of the work, consider how that came to be, and what you can do to change that, if it really bothers you. Also think about new commitments you can make now. Solar Eclipses love a new beginning, so focus on making a new commitment to a person, project, opportunity, etc. 02: Improve balance as much as you can.
Libra is the sign of balance - it is symbolized by the Scales, after all - so focus on ways you can improve balance in your life as best as you can. We can't achieve perfect balance in all ways, but we can definitely strive to be and do better where and when possible.
Think about your relationships. Which ones seem to be the most out of balance? How can you improve that? Think about projects you're working on. Which would benefit from more balance? Think about personal focuses. Which could use more or less attention? If you've been giving a lot of time and attention to something in your life lately, this might be the right time to take a step back, get some space, and breathe again. If you've been totally ignoring something in your life lately, this might be the right time to make it a priority again. 03: Invest in peace over strife.
Libra is the sign of peace, harmony, and serenity, and wants to keep things nice and calm for all. Libra does NOT rock the boat, and doesn't see the point of that. So, consider what in your life you've been giving over to drama, chaos, and arguments. Why have you done that, and what can you do differently to bring in even just a tiny shred of calm?
Since Libra wants to keep the peace, this sign also rules compromise, and often that is the best way to achieve some calm. It's used as a dirty word sometimes though; good compromise doesn't mean you have to compromise yourself - your values, integrity, self-respect, and self-esteem should always remain intact under healthy compromises. Compromise should also be a two-way [or however many are involved] street. It's not a compromise if you're doing all the work. Everyone gives a little and gets a little when it's done right. 04: Understand a different perspective.
With Libra being the sign of the Scales, justice, and equality, this is the sign that weighs the pros and cons, and wants to understand various perspectives to achieve just the right equilibrium. That wouldn't be possible without understanding other viewpoints.
You don't have to agree with them, but understanding why or how they came to it can help you figure out your own motivations, and better navigate tricky people and situations. Another benefit of this is it can provide you with objectivity, and this helps with all-around decision-making. So, challenge yourself to understand a different view. 05: Surround yourself with beauty.
Libra connects with beauty, and is a sign that wants to be surrounded by beauty. This can be in people, places, objects, or intrinsically. And what is beautiful to you can be different from anyone else, and that's okay.
You may want to splurge on something for your home or office that would bring in some beauty, like a new piece of furniture, or something small like a candle, crystal, or artwork, or perhaps do some painting or wallpapering. For some of you, just cleaning up the area and making it look clear or smell good is what you need to have beauty around you. 06: Connect with yourself.
Libra rules our relationships, but this isn't only with other people - it's with ourselves too. This is a relationship that often gets ignored, yet it's the most important relationship any of us will have, and it's the only one that lasts for our entire lives.
How well do you connect with yourself? Do you show yourself respect and dignity, do you give yourself patience and grace, do you know what you like and don't, do you see both your assets and flaws? When we have a good connection with ourselves, we usually know all of these things. How much time do you spend with just yourself? Humans are social animals, so we can only be alone so much, but we should be able to handle some time with just me, myself, and I. Carve out that time with this eclipse and spend it enjoying your own company. Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations in the houses & aspects Comments are closed.
