Happy Solar Eclipse! On October 23rd the Moon and Sun will be joining together for a new beginning at 0 deg Scorpio . Yes! Solar eclipses signals new start and changes, either subtle or drastic but if this eclipse falls on one of your planets or angles you are sure to feel the heat of transformation. So if you do have a planet or angle conjunct or opposite 0 degree Scorpio, then you are bound to experience some changes in the area of your chart that is being eclipsed. Since this eclipse involves the sign of Scorpio, the changes experienced could be deeply transforming.
The eclipse is also conjunct Venus, the goddess of relationships and finance and this will generally be on top of the list for most of us. This is a good time to sort out money matters and maybe start that savings or retirement account that you have been considering for a long time. Scorpio is also cathartic wherein things that are not needed any longer are disposed. It is part of the transformation process. So you may find yourself working on changing a relationships for the good or you may be pushed to let go of a relationship that is at the end of its shelf life. This will open up new energy and people to enter in your life. Hence, take this opportunity to meditate on the kind of relationships you want to attract into your life and about things that no longer server your higher purpose. Cleaning and de-cluttering are surely in order now.
Neptune is conjunct the fixed star fomalhaut which has a tendency toward spiritual pursuit and together they form an inconjunct with Juno, the asteroid for intimacy. This is a call to forming a relationship with the unseen, the Universe and the God. If you have a planet close to 4 degree Pisces, synchronous events may lead you towards a spiritual path. Neptune is also making a trine to Pallas, the asteroid for planning and strategy. With this smart goddess, you can figure out what is the best way to bring spirituality in your life.
Mars in Sagittarius trine Black Moon Lilith (BML) in Leo is generating a lot of fire to fight for something that you see as unfair. With trines things can work out easy and so this may be an apt time to right a wrong, or to argue on your behalf or someone else who you think has been given the short end of the stick. So go for it but be warned that Saturn in Scorpio is also squaring the BML so you may find resistance from an authority figure. Use that fire in your belly to come with a strategy instead of just barging straight ahead because Scorpio is good at planning and you need to have the right tools to win this deep thinking Saturn. There is more chance of experiencing this energy if you have planets in fire signs, especially in mid Leo or Sagittarius.
Right after the eclipse hits Venus, it will apply a square to Juno, the intimacy asteroid. This means there could be a struggle between the more romantic love and getting down to the Big C of commitment like marriage, joint partnership, joint investments, etc. Juno says relationship is more than a walk in the park – it requires the promise of being there together for better or for worse, while Venus says those serious things can break real love. So what do you think – are you with Juno or with Venus? This struggle could see its peak during the end of October and more so if you have the Sun or other planets in early Scorpio or Leo. If you have been cruising through in a relationship don’t be surprised if you are pushed to make the commitment. This may also be true with finances – if you have been long term financial planning, then this is the time to really get down to it. These are difficult choices but better in the long term.

With this Venus conjunct eclipse conjunct my 0 Scorpio North Node, 2 Scorpio Neptune and ascendant, I don’t know quite what to expect. I know I am not happy with where my life is right now, so whatever changes are coming, I hope they are for the better!
Hello Bettye – Its powerful whenever an eclipse falls on a angle or north node. I’ve seen an eclipse on the north node bring new relationships, romantic or otherwise. Since your north node is also attached to Neptune and Ascendant – not sure if you are spiritual, but it seems that this is the personality that you project to the outside world, and an eclipse shows that you may find more opportunities in the next few months to bring this part of you out and also connect with many people. With Neptune and Node on the ascendant how do people perceive you? Do you easily connect with people?
Oh yea… and this point also happens to fall on the leg of one of my Yods, with 29 Leo Pluto on the other leg, and 0 Aries Mars on the point, and also on the point of my other Yod with Aries Mars, and 3 Gemini Mercury on the legs. I hear destiny knocking, but I can’t seem to find the door to let it in!
