The solar eclipse @ 10 degrees Libra taking place midday on October 2nd promises to be lit! The sun and moon will conjoin Mercury. This will adds a cerebral element, but it’s Mars in Cancer, squaring the sun, moon and Mercury, that has my attention.
Is it possible Mars stay out of this? Of course not! Please note the chart.
The Libra stellium looks like a couple on a date, having a conversation. Here comes, Mars, the interloper, hell bent on disturbing the peace.
One solution, for the individual, is to pull the Mars energy in. Use the energy, rather than deny it. It’s not that hard to do!
Consider invigorating (Mars) your relationship yourself, rather than leaving that to some third party.
If you’re not in a relationship and want to be, by all means, hunt (Mars) love and relationships (Libra).
Mercury is prominent. You can expect spirited conversation and/or debate. These conversations (Mercury) may harm (Mars) your social relationships (Libra). Make an effort (Mars) to keep things balanced (Libra).
Note that Libra tries to stay nice and in control. But if you pound on them long enough and hard enough, they actually lose their temper, they will gut you like fish… and then stand there with the knife in their hand, horrified. “Look what you made me do.”
I’m making this sound disquieting because that’s exactly what it is. Libra represents peace and harmony. Mars attacks! You know those stories, where some pretty girl is living her life and some enraged person ambushes her with intent to cause harm? That’s the type of scenario described here.
If you have planets in Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) between 8 and 17 degrees, you’re sure to be caught in this. That’s me! I’m in trouble with this and in fact, it’s already being felt in my world.
With all this said, it seems important to set a positive intention (Mars) so you’re ready to channel this energy, mindfully (Mercury).
Here are some ideas based on the house in your natal chart where the new moon falls:
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 1st house – Actively socialize. Make an effort to get along.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 2nd house – Acquire objects of beauty. Be fair in your financial dealings. Balanced investments.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 3rd house – Negotiate conflicts, possibly acting as a mediator. Seeing both sides of an argument.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 4th house – Peace in the family. Consider compromising to end or prevent a war in the family.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 5th house – Beautiful art. Fun date with an active Mars component. Throw a frisbee in the park? Go for a bike ride?
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 6th house – Mediator at work. Negotiate conflict. Serve the partner. Love in the workplace. Balance in your every day life.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 7th house – The right amount of togetherness. Talk to your partner. Balance in life, in general.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 8th house – Shadow side of love. Loving someone in crisis. Talk therapy. Deep conversation, one on one.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 9th house – Weighing the truth(s). Balanced perspective.
- New Moon Solar eclipse the 10th house – Fair authority. Your manners set an example for others.
- New Moon Solar eclipse in the 11th house – Host a party or some other meeting, for your quirky friends. Check in on others. Let them know you’re thinking of them. Be nice to all.

Where will the eclipse fall in your chart? What’s your intention?
Someone just asked if I could do a joint session with a couple. Seems textbook here.
First house, my Venus (libra) and Neptune (Capricorn) involved. Hoping this fares better than the March Libra eclipse 🤞
6H here…opposing venus/merc and sq nept in Cap… luckily tr mars is way ahead to be in direct opp of natal neptune but still… lets hope it fares better than the one in March, for real… 🙏
The new moon will conjunct my Libra mars and Libra Saturn in the 1st house. Like you, I am feeling this already. Additionally Jupiter is in my 10th house squaring Saturn in the 6th. I’m currently caregiving my 75 year old partner who is extremely ill with three progressive diseases that are being exasperated simultaneously. Well meaning, but poorly informed, family and friends are coming out of the woodwork with advice and criticism in how we are navigating health care and home care. Not one is available to chip in with time or energy though. I have a four planet Libra stellium spanning the 1st and 2nd house and am feeling his pain and my own. I am making an effort to get along – for him, if not for myself. But I only have so many last nerves.
