These 4 Zodiac Signs Will Start A New Chapter Under The Libra Solar Eclipse

The New Moon in Libra (which also happens to be a Solar Eclipse) is taking place on October 14th around 1:55 pm EST, and it’s time to prepare ourselves for new starts—especially regarding our relationships.

New Moons happen each month and are often associated with themes of fresh chapters and new beginnings. It’s a time of taking steps in new directions and manifesting the things you hope for. When a Solar Eclipse enters the mix, though, the energy becomes all the more intense, and it’s difficult not to notice. In the diplomatic sign of Libra, our focus turns to the collective and how we relate to those around us. If Aries, Libra’s sister sign, focuses on the self, Libra focuses on the group. 

While parts of this may sound intimidating, it’s nothing to stress yourself out over! The important thing is to prepare yourself for some changes that lead to fresh starts—and while change can be uncomfortable at times, it can also ultimately be for the best.

While all the zodiac signs will experience the Libra Solar Eclipse in one way or another, the cardinal signs—Libra, Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn—will be impacted the most by this Solar Eclipse in Libra. Check out the signs below to see how each will start a new chapter in their lives.

Libra

As the eclipse transits your 1st House of Self and Identity, prepare yourself for a new shift in your perspective of who you are and how you want to show up in the world. Earlier this year in April, you experienced an eclipse in your sister sign Aries that appeared in your house of partnerships—how have those relationships developed since then? You may find that your insistence on denying your needs in favor of everyone else doesn’t feel as noble as it once did. You may decide that the type of person you’re known to be doesn’t fit with how you see yourself, and this New Moon is opening the door for you to begin that journey to a more authentic version—one that can balance the self and others. 

Aries

As the Solar Eclipse moves through your 7th House of Relationships, all your partnerships are being examined in a new light. You know what you need and what you bring to the table, and this New Moon is the chance to reset and move differently within your connections. With this transit sitting close to Mercury, you may find some illuminating conversations will open your eyes to what needs to change or what honestly never will. New beginnings can mean new people or new dynamics taking shape, but prepare for some growing pains as you start the process—especially with your ruling planet Mars now in Scorpio. There is a way for you to feel seen and supported without overlooking others, and that will become more clear to you now than ever.

Cancer

Home is where the heart is—and where some life changes are happening for you, Cancer. This event takes place in your 4th House of Home and Roots, and while diving into your emotions and past may feel messy, it’s time to get some things cleared away so you can freely move forward. You may feel some strong emotions surrounding events in your family, childhood wounds making themselves heard, or even settling some disputes you may have with people you live with. Who you are at home says a lot about how you show up elsewhere, and if you can’t be your fullest, safest, and most vulnerable there, then it affects everything else. This Eclipse is ready to break some things wide open so you can get there, but it may not be the easiest. Just know that who you’ve been and how things have been don’t have to define you.

Capricorn

Your professional life and public image are front and center, Capricorn—do you remember what you wanted out of this to begin with? As the Eclipse shows up in your 10th House of Career and Public Image, it’s easy to joke that your work ethic is essential to who you are. Yet, at some point, you may have focused too hard on trying to be the best simply for its sake, not because this is what you wanted to do. If your heart has been elsewhere in terms of career, you may find that doors could open in those directions if you’re prepared to pursue them. However, it’s important to keep in mind that your career is only one aspect of who you are, not the whole picture—and even if you stay in your current role, it’s time to create some work/life balance to keep you grounded and consistent. Either way, burning the candle at both ends isn’t the flex you think it is, and it’s time to make some changes there.
