Eclipse season has begun! Today, we discuss the first eclipse of the season: the solar eclipse in Libra (October 2023). The new moon and sun in Libra are currently opposing Chiron in Aries, setting up a tension between our desire to be in relationship versus our needs as individuals. How can we resolve this tension masterfully rather than messily? This solar eclipse is calling us to begin a new chapter in relationships with others, but first with ourselves. By stepping into our Aries primal sense of worthiness, we can gain the confidence we need to enter relationships as whole, individuated partners.
