Solar Eclipse in Libra: Reframe and Rewire
Happy Eclipse Season!
Today at 2:00 PM ET we have a Solar Eclipse in Libra at 21°. The sign of Libra, ruled by the planet Venus, represents the energy of relationships, harmony, and fairness. With the Nodes of the Moon on the Aries/Libra axis, we are working with assertion and peacemaking, what’s fair for me and what’s fair for us.
Below, I’m sharing the energy of this New Moon as well as the Moon Journal Prompts to help you harness this powerful energy. Solar Eclipses bring about necessary new beginnings that will unfold over the next six months.

This Solar Eclipse is asking us to examine what’s held us back in the past as we enter a new chapter. This gets to be our pivotal resolution versus another pitfall. The Sun and Moon created what is known as a “Ring of Fire” where the passed over the Sun but without blocking it completely and a halo formed around the Moon. With this imagery, it You may have read that Eclipse energy is like Wild Card energy carrying surprises and miracles. Of course, the biggest part of the way it manifests lies in our intention followed by our beliefs and actions.
Sun, Moon & South Node conjunction in Libra:
There are some obstacles in our way as we usher in this powerful new beginning. There are collective fears surfacing that have been around for generations. We can take this to a world perspective and take a look at what we see that frightens us. What fears are associated with those events or occurrences?
Name them so you can begin to understand the root of it and begin processing it.
Sun/Moon oppose Aries North Node:
You must first be the change you seek to see. Use what you see as a guide and the fuel for the changes you need to move toward your desired path. Take back your power in how your life unfolds. Practice healthy assertion and less people-pleasing to your downfall.
Moon in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn / Nodes (Aries/Libra) square Pluto:
The energy of square aspects can be described as irritation is the grit to sharpen the edges. Think of the process of a pearl being created. The final product is beautiful and valuable but was created over a long, tedious period of time. When the Moon and Pluto come together in this tense aspect, you can think of mental/emotional alchemy. We can expect drastic changes in our course and perception.
Analyzing the harmony in what is versus what makes sustainable structures— it may work in the short-term but is it sustainable or just a quick fix like a band-aid?
Mercury in Libra oppose Chiron in Aries
This energy amplifies what’s already playing out. Mercury oppose Chiron is bound to hold difficult conversations and even hurtful words exchanged. If you are aware and willing to work out a solution, the situation can be healing and growth can come from it.
Mars in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces
When Mars and Saturn meet in a harmonious trine, we have the energy and drive to persevere. It’s the endurance needed to meet your goals and ambitions.
With Scorpio, we’re exploring our depths, the psyche, and our passions (or obsessions).
With Pisces, we’re exploring transcendence, the collective unconscious, and the art of surrender.
I feel we have a huge advantage right now in connecting with our ancestors and asking for protection and guidance especially as we navigate the tumultuous climate we’ve been facing in different aspects.
Human Design Transit Gate:
In Human Design, the Sun and Moon are transiting Gate 32: The Gate of Continuity. This Gate is part of the Ego Circuit (Tribal Circuitry) and is found in the Spleen Center, the Center that is responsible for survival instincts, health & wellness, collective/ancestral fears, and spontaneity.
Focuses of Gate 32:
Holds the fear of failure
Sensing what needs to change and honoring both success and failure
Leading the Tribe into a state of well-being without creating/endorsing codependency, hierarchy structures, or pressuring others to conform.
Breaking down superiority complexes
Let’s Dive Deeper With Gene Keys
Gene Key 32: Ancestral Reverence
What is Ancestral Reverence?
A gesture of respect and honoring of those who came before us.
Shadow (Lowest Expression): Failure— agitated unease
Gift (Aligned Expression): Preservation— initiative with intention
Siddhi (Highest Expression): Veneration— awakened clarity
“When we trust in life enough, we begin to trust in the events of our lives too. We allow them to shatter us, and that re-frames our view. We realize that this impulse to preserve what we love has a whole new field to live in.” -Richard Rudd
This is taking a look at what it looks like to continue certain rituals and beliefs in our modern times. We wish to reconnect or continue a relationship with the energy and spirit of our ancestors but their spirit is not the same as when they were in their human form.
Our memory of who they were may distort the presence of what we connect and commune with now. We get to connect with our ancestors in new ways now that there are no limitations of the physical realm like physical distance and societal conditioning.
Reflection Questions:
How can we keep the Tribe (family/community) healthy? What needs to be upgraded to restore health and wellness?
What were our ancestors working on building?
What did they leave behind in terms of behavioral patterns, beliefs, ideals, and even physical belongings like antiques and other inheritances? We don’t just inherit physical items, we can inherit their traumas and wounding, too.
Here are a few posts I came across that really embody the energy of this lunar phase:
IG post by @lexyflorentina on healing and working with our instinctual survival strategies
IG post by @wetheurban encouragement before bed & upon rising
IG post by @elainealec_ a quote for on healing by Gabor Maté
IG post by @blackliturgies on returning Home to ourselves
IG post by @aspenagln an ugly truth that lies in the systematic structures that stand and center “whiteness”. Analyzing “whiteness” as a construct of further isolation and separation.

Checking In With The Collective Energy
When I come up with the questions for the Moon Journal Prompts, I take into account the energy of the planets as well as the Collective energy via Oracle cards or Tarot cards.
For this lunation, I decided to use:
the Raider-Waite Tarot Deck and
The Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck
Raider-Waite Tarot Deck
Six of Pentacles:
Keywords: Giving and receiving, sharing wealth, generosity, charity, even exchange of resources (even if the recipient cannot repay the giver, the giver is aware and not depleted by the exchange), clean transactions & investments (no shady or hidden fees or undisclosed expectations)
Nine of Swords:
Keywords: Anxiety, worry, fear, depression, nightmares, mental despair, frightening, reminders of the past, mental conditioning
Six of Pentacles + Nine of Swords:
Hidden conditions that led to past hurt resurfacing
Taken advantage of and neglecting one’s personal resources (time, energy, money)
Reviewing ideals around self-sufficiency and conditioned dependency
Struggling with the conditioned guilt & shame accompanied by asking for help
Break the cycle of fear-driven decisions and thoughts around items/money
Overcompensating = improper give and take that’s fear-based
Processing the cause & effect of being in survival mode
“The Wild Unknown Archetypes” Deck
The Mirror:
WHEN LIGHT: witnessing the deeper self, pure awareness
WHEN DARK: narcissism, comparison, harsh edges
“Speak to yourself gently and kindly in The Mirror. It will feel awkward at first, but it is a sure way to become friends with yourself (your Self).”
Reflection: Not liking what is being reflected back to you. Inner critic is loud and taking over your actions. What you dish out speaks volumes to how you see yourself— can you handle the same kind of critique of others or situations that rise revealing what’s still present and inhibiting your growth?
Self-perception: How do you feel about what you see in the mirror? What would you change? Dig deeper than your physical features.
If that is all you see as flawed, how can you pour more love into these imperfections? What are they reminders of? What memories are they attached to?
Reflection prompt guidance
Use the prompts to journal with or meditate on. If you’re like me, retreating to a quiet space in your home, putting on some background music like solfeggio frequencies or my new favorite, “Faith’s Hymn” by Beautiful Chorus, and lighting a candle or incense helps calm the mind and allows you to tune in to what’s trying to get your attention. (I link my favorite playlists from Apple Music so you can tune in).
Take care,
