The Solar eclipse on October 14 is an auspicious time to consider how you can bring more balance to your life. In particular, this is the perfect time to set intentions about relationships. Whether you’re exploring a new partnership, working on an existing one, or focusing on your own precious relationship with life — the energy of Libra will support your intentions. Read on to see where the Sun and the New Moon are impacting your sign. Happy Thanksgiving!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As the Sun moves opposite your sign, you might have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the axis of relationships is becoming more active. Key connections are a major theme. Ask yourself: Who do you feel responsible for? Who do you feel accountable to? Who fills your cup and lightens your heart? Are your relationships in alignment with your goals and aspirations? Some connections may fade away, while others get stronger as the bond grows deeper. During the time of the Solar eclipse on October 14, you are offered an auspicious window to deepen the bonds where it matters most. Take a moment to consider how others have shown up for you, as well as how you have been there for them. It’s the perfect time to do something special for people you care about.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This month you’re eager to work hard and get down to business, Taurus because the Sun is activating your Sixth House, which is traditionally associated with health, daily routines, efficiency and service to others. That’s why this month is an excellent time to pay attention to your physical well-being, as well as your daily habits, and consider how you can make small changes to improve your health. This same rule applies to your craft or trade and how you can make some tweaks to enhance your performance. The first few weeks of October are an excellent time to ‘clean house’. At the time of the New Moon (a Solar eclipse) on October 14, take time to consider how you want to handle matters related to your work, as well as how you practice your day-to-day lifestyle. How can you improve your health? Get rid of things that have piled in the corners of your mind, which no longer serve you. This month, it’s time to be productive and clear the decks of whatever you don’t need.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
It’s a ripe time for creative new beginnings, Gemini! The Sun is activating your Fifth House of authentic expression, play, artistic pursuits, and recreation. As the Sun moves through your fellow Air sign, Libra, this bodes well for all kinds of socializing, meeting new people, and celebrating with those you love. Go out on the town if you can. Explore art galleries and places of interest. Music and festivities beckon now. As we get closer to the Solar eclipse on October 14, give some thought to your creative nature and what forms of expression you feel called to. It’s a very auspicious time to initiate new projects and breathe life into old ones. Let your imagination out to play and see where it takes you. Romantic experiences can easily occur as others are drawn to your upbeat energy. Ooo la la!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The urge to nest and nurture is strong at this time, Cancer. As the Sun makes its way across the bottom of your chart, your focus shifts to home, family life and your personal well-being. Get busy cleaning up around the house, making repairs or redecorating to make your home feel comfortable and cozy for the cooler months because this will lift your spirits. Gatherings with family members and close friends that warm your heart will create happy memories — and you will easily express yourself through these caring activities. As we move through the phase of the Solar eclipse on October 14, keep in mind this is an excellent time for healing. You can direct this energy into personal growth, past and present family issues, and also your genuine care for other family members. Creating healthy emotional boundaries for yourself and others will be your key theme.
