4 Zodiacs Whose Lives Will Change Under The Solar Eclipse In Libra (10/2)

October is an exciting month for a lot of reasons, whether you’re a horror fan who goes all out for Halloweekend or simply an appreciator of fall foliage. For approximately the first half of the month, Libra season encourages harmony and peace, and gives everyone in the Northern Hemisphere a chance to admire the swiftly changing leaves: a natural, divine presentation of the aesthetic beauty that Libra traditionally represents.

However, in 2024, October is sweeping in with an intensity we haven’t seen in some time. The cosmos is unsettled. As above, so below: what occurs in the heavens will resonate down here in the material world. And this month, we are wrapping up a series of eclipses on the Aries-Libra axis before the lunar nodes shift permanently into Virgo and Pisces. That means external, far-reaching consequences that force humanity to acknowledge our own failures and move forward boldly.

The first Libra eclipse near the south node occurred on October 14, 2023, setting the stage for a tumultuous geopolitical nightmare that has shaken us out of our complacency and exposed us to the true horrors of wartime. In the twelve months since, we have swung violently back and forth between the extremes of war and peace, aggression and adoration, fear and love. The ambitious and sometimes ruthless warrior, Aries, has fought for individuality and independence, while the just and reasonable devil’s advocate, Libra, has sought to find balance in the chaos.

The upcoming solar eclipse takes place at 10° of Libra on October 2, 2024, at 2:49 AM EST, though the whole story will take at least two weeks to unfold.

While eclipses are notorious for worldwide, collective shakeups, and there’s no reason to believe that this one will be any different, there are certain signs that can anticipate a particularly intense fortnight ahead.

Spoiler alert: if you have any major placements anywhere near 10° of any of the cardinal signs, you’re going to feel it. However, for simplicity’s sake, the following is written with the assumption that your rising sign is one of the following cardinal signs.

Aries.

With the eclipse rocking your seventh house of interpersonal relationships and long-term commitments, plenty of you will be getting engaged, married, and divorced. While it’s not exactly advisable to tie the knot during eclipse season, if you’ve already got the venue booked, you can be sure you’ll be in for an exciting ride. Expect the unexpected, and don’t be afraid to change your plans on a whim if necessary.

Cancer.

Your home and family is about to grow, shrink, or expand, with the eclipse occurring in your fourth house of domestic matters. Many of you will conceive, give birth, and move in with partners, while others will say goodbye to elderly relatives and put childhood homes on the market. It’s the end of an era—and the beginning of something totally new and exciting. It’s okay to have mixed feelings about this.

Libra.

You’re the star of this particular show, with the eclipse hitting your first house of identity and physicality. Change up your appearance or venture out on a solo adventure to “find yourself,” if you so desire. If there is a fragment of your identity that you no longer feel attached to, the eclipse will almost certainly remove it. You’re being radically transformed from the inside out.

Capricorn.

The eclipse is shaking up your tenth house of career and reputation, ensuring that your social status will shift—for better or for worse. If you’ve been hoping to launch a new business or rebrand yourself completely, there’s no time like the present. Just be aware that eclipses have a mind of their own. You won’t be able to control everything, and that’s okay.
