Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to
the latest episode of AstrologyUnbound.
Today, I'm going to reveal thehidden meaning of this upcoming
solar eclipse in Libra onOctober 2nd.
Before I begin, though, be sureto check out my Substack
newsletter for an in-depthbreakdown of my predictions for
the globe, my step-by-stepmanifestation guides for each
(00:27):
full moon, intention-settingrecommendations for new moons,
educational content and more.
Now, I do have a freesubscription service through
that, where you can access thehigh-level themes, but I also
have a paid service where youcan also access the horoscopes.
You can also access a call withme every week where I do live
birth chart readings, andthere's also a whole lot more
(00:49):
through that package.
So let's jump in to the bigevent of the week.
This is the solar eclipse inLibra, at 10 degrees of Libra,
by the way, and this is a majorevent because we are talking
about an eclipse, and eclipsesdefinitely redefine our life
path.
In many cases, they close onechapter, they begin another,
(01:14):
they are new, or full moons onsteroids, as many astrologers
say, and that's because thenorth and south node are
involved in an eclipse.
The south node has a lot to dowith our karma, past life
actions.
The north node is tied to oursoul's potential, evolutionary
potential, our destiny, ourdharma, and in this case we're
(01:38):
dealing with a south nodal solareclipse, which definitely makes
this again sort of an endingand a beginning.
So when we're talking about asolar eclipse, we are talking
about a new moon Again.
It just happens to be within acertain proximity to either the
north or south node to count asa solar eclipse.
(01:59):
And during a solar eclipse, themoon is in between the sun and
the earth and partially or fullyblocking the sun's light.
Now, in this case it's anannular eclipse, so you're still
going to see a ring of fire,the sun, around the moon, but it
will be blocking much of thesun's light.
And a new moon, of course,typically denotes a beginning
(02:21):
and you're setting intentionsand you're setting a new course.
But because the south node isalso aligned with this new moon,
this solar eclipse, we are alsobeing called to reflect on the
things that we want to overcome,the patterns that we want to
let go of, the assumptions thatwe want to stop making, just in
general, the cycles that we aremeant to break out of.
(02:43):
So when we think about, again,a typical new moon, we are
planting a seed, but in thiscase, because it's an eclipse,
it is slightly out of ourcontrol.
It's not that we can't try toaim towards some kind of
directional intention, but it'svery unlikely that we're going
(03:04):
to be able to anticipate theexact sort of outcome.
We don't necessarily know whatit is that we're creating, but
we know that we are resettingsome energy here.
We are cleansing, purging andtransitioning again into a new
chapter.
So let's also talk about thenature of the sign of Libra,
(03:25):
though.
So let's remember, this ishappening in Libra at 10 degrees
.
So if you have, first of all,before I get into that if you
have major placements between 5and 15 degrees of the cardinal
signs, which would be Libra,aries, capricorn, cancer, then
this eclipse will have an evenmore profound impact on you
personally than it would forsomeone without those placements
(03:46):
.
So, either way, let's go intothe meanings of Libra here.
So some of the key concepts ofLibra include the concept of
trust, balance, harmony, mutualexchange, relationships,
cooperation, tactfulness,agreements and contracts, and
(04:07):
you'll notice that there's avery interpersonal association
with Libra, and Libras aretrying to create balance,
sometimes through art as welland aesthetics.
I notice a lot of Libra risings, or Libra placements tend to be
photographers or sounddesigners or interior designers,
and you know that's becauseLibra has that sort of
(04:30):
understanding right of how tocreate very tasteful contrast in
something.
So Libra is an energy that Ithink a lot of people
misunderstand.
By the way, because you knowthere are stereotypes of every
sign online and the stereotypeof Libra is that you know they
are always just trying to pleaseother people and they're never
(04:53):
thinking about really just theirown needs.
They're just like creating somekind of persona in order to
balance that relationship.
But I don't really think thatthat's.
I mean, that's obviously notthe ideal form that Libra wants
to take.
Think about Libra as you knowwell, first of all, it's a Venus
ruled sign and it's carryingforward the story of Venus when
(05:17):
it was in Taurus.
So Venus rules Taurus and Libra, and when it's in Taurus, we
are talking a lot about our ownself-worth and the value that we
place on not only materialthings and goods, but like again
ourselves, because it is thesecond zodiac sign following
Aries, which is a fire sign thatis just launching forward, like
(05:40):
Aries is very much just actingon instinct, drive and will, and
then we get into the zone ofTaurus and suddenly we have a
sense of our material needs, oursurvival needs, but we also
place again sort of a value onourselves.
(06:03):
I mean, I think we do developour sense of self-worth and our
natural abilities and talentsand our values through the sign
of Taurus.
So ideally, by the time you getto the second Venus sign,
you've already, you know,established what you're gifted
at and what you're worth, andyou know that means that you're
(06:25):
coming into a relationship, acontract negotiation, you know,
some kind of compromise, not bycompromising yourself, but by
actually standing in this, likestanding on this sort of footing
and having this footing of avery clear sense of self, a
(06:46):
clear sense of identity, a clearself-awareness.
So Libras, ideally, areconstantly aware of themselves,
of what they seek to gain out ofthis negotiation, and they do
look for win-win situations,sometimes, yes, to a fault, and
that's where they need to borrowfrom the Aries side of that
(07:10):
axis of Libra and Aries to leaninto their independent drive and
their needs.
But if you actually think aboutthe evolutionary path of Venus,
venus has already gone throughTaurus by the time we get to
Libra.
So ideally, there is still likea sense of like individual will
(07:34):
and dignity and self-worth and,especially with Taurus,
actually clear values.
So, as long as you're so, aslong as we're coming into an
interpersonal situation with aclear sense of what we need and
what we want and what we value,then I don't think that we have
to sacrifice who we are orcompromise ourselves.
(07:54):
We achieve a compromise bylistening.
Libras, ideally, are listening.
They're listening to the otherperson, they're listening to
their needs and they're meeting.
Maybe they are meeting halfway,but I think that we realize
sometimes in those situationsthat it is a win-win though when
both people can walk away withsomething.
So, anyways, that's like thegeneral nature of Libra, and I
(08:18):
want to sort of focus back in onthis eclipse though.
So, in terms of the aspects onthis eclipse, I already talked
about how it's at 10 degrees ofLibra, but we also, you know, we
want to track the position ofVenus on this eclipse and Venus
is at 11 degrees of Scorpio andyou know Venus is in its
(08:42):
detriment in Scorpio, by the way, but I think it's totally fine
here because it is seeking depth.
So, while we're sort offocusing on relationships during
this eclipse, we're focusing on, potentially, negotiations,
contracts, agreements,compromises.
Venus and Scorpio can maybefind a financial angle out of
(09:06):
something.
So maybe some of you aresigning contracts that have,
maybe, a financial valueattached to them, but in other
cases, you are plunging intothese new depths with someone
who you maybe have been datingor whatnot.
And Venus is trining Saturn andMars during this eclipse.
(09:27):
So some of the changes that youmake in relationships or the
things you reflect on inrelationships can help you
achieve, maybe, long-termsuccess with a partner, but
fundamentally, this eclipse willencompass and implicate some
significant relationship in yourlife, whether that is like
(09:49):
again a romantic partner,professional partner, business
associate or a significantfriend.
You are going to be looking at,I think, your relationships a
lot differently after thiseclipse, but it is not
necessarily a complete shock,because we had a solar eclipse
in Libra last fall as well,october 14th of 2023.
(10:11):
So I think we've familiarizedourselves with the North and
South Nodes positions in Ariesand Libra by now.
So, whereas last October mayhave been more of a surprise for
you, maybe you lost arelationship, maybe you let go
of one this time around, I thinkyou can ideally harness the
(10:32):
better qualities of Libra andreach an agreement, whether that
is financial or it's more in apersonal relationship sort of
setting, but with Mercury alsoinvolved.
You know this follows veryclosely just a couple of days
after a Mercury Kazemi, like weshould ideally have a clearer
perspective actually on ourrelationships.
(10:53):
You know, we should be able tofind the through line across all
of our relationships, all ofour significant ones in the past
, and realize okay, this is thepattern I've always been stuck
in, these are the cycles I keepgoing through and I have lost my
tolerance for it.
And, speaking of that, this isan eclipse for honesty.
(11:13):
One of the rules of thumb hereis to not lie to yourself.
Like, don't lie to yourself.
This is that is something Ithink that Libras can do
sometimes.
The Libra energy sometimes willlie to itself in order to
strike that compromise.
But remember, the North Node isan Aries, so our evolutionary
potential is all containedwithin the sign opposite, libra,
(11:35):
right now.
So you know, don't lie toyourself.
Be honest with yourself aboutwhat you need and then advocate
for those needs in one of theserelationships I'm talking about,
which is very much an Ariestype of activity.
So being decisive is importantright now, being transparent and
honest, like I said, andapproaching any negotiation
(12:00):
right now or relationship with acertain unwavering nature right
now, or relationship with acertain unwavering nature and
vocalizing, articulating to,let's say, your partner that you
, yeah, will no longer toleratesomething, that you've noticed
their lack of decisivedecisiveness on something, or
you've noticed how they continueto regress and move and work
(12:23):
and move backwards withsomething.
So call these things out.
You want to call these thingsout in order to really just show
them the partner and theuniverse that you have a sense
of self-respect and that you canset boundaries and that you
(12:43):
won't tolerate anything andeverything.
And then you're going tobreathe truth into that
connection, whether it isprofessional or romantic or a
friend, and as you breathe truthinto that, you end it is
professional or romantic or afriend, and as you breathe truth
into that, you end up helpingboth parties out.
And another thing that you wantto do is don't assume that the
(13:04):
other person will be the one toinitiate a difficult
conversation right now.
So if the energy of arelationship in your life is
precarious, tenuous, you don'treally know where it's going
don't expect the other person tocarry forward or raise that
(13:24):
discussion with you.
Raise that conversation.
There is no fire in the skyright now, either as I'm talking
or during this eclipse.
So no planets and fire signs,except for Chiron in the North
Node.
The North Node is not a planet,it's just a calculation.
Chiron in the North Node theNorth Node is not a planet, it's
just a calculation.
Chiron is a minor planet, somost people around you will not
(13:45):
actually be harnessing that sortof you know, that fiery,
risk-loving, decisive energy,action-oriented.
A lot of people are only goingto be feeling that charge when,
when they're when the mars andcancer transit is activated,
which means, if anything, peoplemay be acting in kind of a
petty way because mars andcancer sometimes will have this
(14:08):
notion that it's like defendingsome and like protecting
something.
That's like monumental whenit's really minuscule.
Actually so and I'm not tryingto pick on mars and cancer out
of malice or anything it's justthat technically mars has fallen
in cancer, so mars is a week ina weaker position in cancer.
So don't expect the people inyour life this week to step up
(14:36):
and own up to their mistakes oreven to again vocalize something
.
Nobody can read anyone's mindin general in those types of
situations.
Don't expect that your partneris going to be able to read your
mind.
Don't expect that your partneris going to be able to read your
mind.
(15:02):
So, yeah, I think those are someof the key takeaways of how to
approach this eclipsestrategically, but I also want
to talk about the cycle of Venusin order to contextualize this
eclipse and again reveal thathidden meaning.
Contextualize this eclipse andagain reveal that hidden meaning
.
So in order to do that, we haveto go back to that eclipse in
(15:22):
October 2023.
So go back to October 14th 2023.
We're going to go on a littlescavenger hunt and I do think
this will help you really againunderstand the position of this
eclipse in the storyline, in thenarrative arc that has been
your life for the past well overa year, since the South Node
(15:45):
has been in Libra, no-transcriptand ask anyone from 86 or 87,
(16:13):
meaning 1986 or 1987, anyone whowas born during those two years
, what their relationships havebeen like.
And that is sort of a windowinto the South Node experience.
Like a lot of people who wereborn in 86 and 87 have been in
relationships that felt reallyfamiliar but they didn't always
pan out or work.
And, by the way, if you're bornduring those two years,
obviously you can find a reallywelcoming partner and a great
relationship.
(16:33):
But I'm saying at the outset ofyour life, meaning you know, in
your twenties, maybe part ofyour teens, you probably were
mostly kind of experiencing alot of karma from past lives in
relationships Like you wereprobably meeting people in
college and after college whofelt very again familiar to you,
(16:59):
but that's because you probablyhad a connection with them in a
past life.
And while that can be nice tokind of, you know, sit with a
relationship that feelscomfortable, eventually growth
is sort of missing.
There's just no growth left, nogrowth potential, and so you
(17:20):
know you walk away from that andthen maybe you find another
comfortable relationship andthen you're dissatisfied with
that and eventually you realize,oh I have to lean into my North
Node in Aries, I have tooperate independently, avoid
codependence and trust Remember,libra is about trust, but with
Aries we're trusting that we canwalk alone, we can walk our own
(17:44):
path if we have to Not that wewill, but that we can.
And then when you sort ofrealize that and you fully
internalize that, the rightpartner, the ideal partner,
shows up.
So all of us are going throughsome version of that and we have
been for the past year andchange, realizing that yes, we
(18:08):
want a relationship, we want tocultivate a trusting union with
someone which is Libra.
But in order to find a healthyrelationship, we have to
recognize our own self-worth and, with Chiron being in Aries
still and throughout thiseclipse cycle, we have to
practice self-love and then withthat love, that love radiates
(18:33):
out and attracts the rightperson.
So this story to me, eventhough it initiated in july, by
the way of 2023, when the nodesshifted into aries and libra,
like that, that was really whenyou probably started to feel
this energy.
Um, you know the and, by the way, there was an eclipse before
(18:54):
this, but I think in in aries,but I don't think that that
necessarily had to be, um, alaunch point for you.
So I'm just gonna quicklyconsult my software here and go
back to that day.
So that was april 19th of 2023.
Like, technically, there was asolar hybrid eclipse at 29 aries
, while the north node was stillin Taurus and the south node
was in Scorpio.
(19:14):
So, interestingly, actually,mars was in a pretty much the
same position it will be induring this eclipse coming up,
but at that 29th degree.
You know, you could go back toApril 19th 2023, and just like
gauge what was going on in yourlife at that time and certainly
it may be relevant to you and so, if it is, I would obviously
(19:36):
work with that timeline as well.
But for now, I want to focus onmostly this October 14th solar
annular eclipse that happened in2023, because this is when the
South Node was actually in Libra.
This is when the south node wasactually in Libra, and there
(19:58):
are many aspects of this eclipsecoming up on October 2nd that
mirrored this other one inOctober of last year.
Like Mercury was in Libra backthen, south node was in Libra,
mars was in a water sign, plutowas in cap, etc.
But that eclipse, I think, wasmore pointing out a blind spot
for you in a relationship orforcing you, maybe for the first
(20:22):
time, to really reckon withsome sort of pattern or behavior
that you've had in arelationship that has to start
to change.
That has to start to change.
And Venus, which is reallyholding the key here or it is
the key Venus, was opposingSaturn at that time after its
(20:46):
retrograde in Leo.
So we had come out of a prettyrough Venus retrograde.
In my opinion although it willdepend based on your birth chart
but that Venus retrograde inLeo, I think, drained a lot of
the fun and joy out of certainrelationships and forced you to
obviously, like any Venusretrograde, reflect on your
values, but also to reflect onwhether or not your relationship
(21:10):
had any romantic spark left.
And so by the time we reachedthat eclipse in October, venus
was fallen in Virgo, opposingSaturn, the planet of really
karma and tough lessons andwisdom.
And a lot of people lastmid-October broke up, ended a
(21:32):
relationship or just learned areally tough lesson and, yes, in
some cases committed tosomebody.
But think about your life inOctober of 2023.
And that will give you, I think, a lot of clues as to how to
prepare for this upcoming one.
And then we have to jump toactually April 8th, or, sorry,
(21:55):
may 25th of 2024, to reach theconclusion of that particular
eclipse.
So that eclipse set anenergetic tone in your
relationships all the waythrough March of 2024.
That lunar penumbral eclipsewas another transition period
(22:17):
for you.
So maybe at that point you hadstarted to demonstrate to the
universe that you had learnedyour lesson in a relationship.
Perhaps you even started arelationship at that time, or
maybe you ended one from theprevious October.
But also think about March 25thAgain.
What were you learning at thattime?
(22:38):
What wisdom were you gainingthrough other people?
How like were you learningabout the art of compromise at
that time?
Now, venus, again, let's keeptracking the planet that rules
Libra.
Venus at that time was exaltedopposite Virgo, where it's
(22:58):
fallen, and again conjunctSaturn, or sorry, not again, but
conjunct Saturn where, asbefore, it was opposing Saturn.
So again in a hard aspect toSaturn, the planet of commitment
, tough lessons, karma.
So, yet again, we're seeing how, at each turn in these lunation
(23:22):
cycles involving Libra, venusand Saturn are sort of in this
interesting dance.
And that will be sort ofnaturally occurring to some
extent, right?
Because when we have the Sun inLibra, you know, or the Sun in
Aries, on that Libra-Aries axis,just by virtue of the fact that
(23:47):
Saturn is in Pisces and Venusdoesn't move farther than 47
degrees away from the Sun andVenus doesn't move farther than
47 degrees away from the Sun,venus will be in a position to
potentially, you know, reachthat sort of hard aspect with
Saturn.
It just depends on where it isin its synodic cycle, right?
So, but I think that that isvery important to keep in mind,
(24:12):
the fact that Saturn is inPisces throughout these, you
know eclipses in Libra and Ariesis Saturn and Pisces.
Pisces is all about, well, Iguess, in a Venusian context.
Pisces has a lot to do withdevotional, sacrificial love,
(24:32):
this sort of unifying love, thisdivine love, this healing love.
And last October Venus andVirgo had a harshness to it and
there was an unexpected, suddennature to that eclipse because
(24:53):
we were all sort of getting intouch with the South Node and
Libra by March 25th of this year.
I think that a lot of us had achance to really create magic
with someone else or in arelationship.
And so now we're seeing, okay,well, there's a dance going on
(25:13):
between Venus and Saturn in thiseclipse cycle, and Venus again,
is that planet of love andharmony, relationships, and
Saturn is commitment.
So naturally, I'm sure at eachof these stages of these eclipse
cycles, you've been forced toreckon with some really daunting
challenges or hurdles in somekind of interpersonal situation.
(25:35):
But the Venus Saturn aspectsare telling you that the best
relationships are perfected overtime, or even if they never
reach a state of perfection,they are at least refined and
improved and they evolve just byvirtue of two people committing
(25:56):
to something and sticking itout.
Now, of course, I'm not sayingthat people should hold on to a
relationship that's not rightfor them.
Again, speak your needs, don'tlie to yourself.
Advocate for yourself, assertyourself, breathe truth into the
relationship.
But also don't run away justbecause there's a minor
(26:19):
challenge.
Like fantastic relationshipsare hard to find, especially in
our day and age.
Like fantastic relationshipsare hard to find, especially in
our day and age.
So here's Venus and Saturncontinually telling me the
astrologer to tell you that ittakes time.
It's not like not every day hasto be magic, Not every day has
to be even fun.
There will be days when youjust, I don't know.
(26:48):
You're just trying to keep therelationship alive.
But there is value on the otherside of that.
There is a heartfelt richness,a cherishing of the union.
There is a yeah, just anenjoyment of it.
There's a stability to it, butnot necessarily a predictability
(27:10):
, but just a reliability.
And you know, I think that insome ways our relationships
reflect our own internaldialogue.
Self-perception like the bestrelationship for you is
absolutely out there, but itstarts with rewiring your
(27:32):
thought process patterns, yoursense of self.
And, yeah, again, it reallystarts with the thoughts.
Are you telling yourself thetruth about what you need?
Are you telling yourself thetruth about what you need?
Are you telling yourself thetruth about who you're with
right now and whether or notthey can meet your expectations?
Yeah, there's probably going tobe a lot of breakups during
(27:53):
this eclipse, just like lastOctober, but it doesn't have to
be that way.
You can also look at theseeclipses in Libra as, again, a
reminder that theserelationships are chiseled over
time and experience makes therelationship richer and more
valuable.
(28:13):
Just to say that I rememberthat time with you and we
experienced that together and weovercame that challenge
together.
Like there's a great song by oneof my favorite bands, prefab
Sprout, which is like a sort ofa I don't know pop, jazz,
(28:33):
alternative indie band from theUK from the eighties and they
have a song called I Rememberthat and one of the lyric is
nothing sounds as good as Iremember that.
And you know it's like you maybe in a position someday where
it's like you're on a date withsomeone new and there's some
(28:56):
excitement there.
It's like you know the noveltyfactor is you're seeing, you're
sort of basking in the noveltyfactor of it, but then you want
to kind of like you, you tellthem a story about your.
Like you know, from 10 yearsago or about your 20s or your
(29:16):
30s, and you can tell thatthey're just not really getting
it, they're not reallyinternalizing what you're saying
.
And then you suddenly you wishthat someone you had dated back
then, you know, was there to beable to resonate with that story
, because maybe they were therewith you or they were in your
life at that time.
And then there's sort of awistful regret that sweeps over
(29:39):
you.
Now I'm not telling that storyto say that that will be your
fate or anything, but you know,there's moments like that when I
think people realize that theremay have been a really
rewarding sort of experience onthe other side of all those
challenges if they had stuckwith that person.
(30:03):
So like, if you have, if youhave Mars conjunct Venus in your
chart, which is pretty much theopposite energy of Saturn
conjunct Venus you may besomeone who impatiently pushes
away a partner if they're notmeeting your needs Right away.
There's this sort of this againimpatience with Mars, but with
Saturn, it's all about patiencesort of this again impatience
(30:25):
with Mars, but with Saturn, it'sall about patience.
So in this Venus cycle, in thiseclipse cycle, I think the
position of Venus is telling uslike, don't assume that when you
let go of that partner who isactually terrible and is
actually maybe even a bad personor something, don't assume that
(30:46):
when you let go of them, thatyou're just going to manifest
your dream partner out of thinair and that even when you do
manifest them, that is justgoing to be easy and effortless.
It's not Saturn's going to showyou hey, there's going to be a
lot of effort, so when yourdream person comes through, it's
going to be a boot camp in someway.
(31:06):
So, march 25th, venus can joinSaturn and then the lunar
eclipse or sorry, the solareclipse coming up.
What's going on here?
Well, venus is actually triningSaturn.
So I think this eclipse againcan be about positive,
(31:27):
beneficial commitments For someof you, financial contracts with
Venus in Scorpio specifically.
But I don't think that thiseclipse will be quite as
fractious as the last eclipse inOctober 2023.
I think this one has a beenthere, done that attitude.
(31:49):
We've seen this before.
We can manage it.
But if you have been bitingyour tongue, you haven't raised
your concerns, voiced yourconcerns with a partner.
Well then, you probably shoulddo it now, october 2nd.
Now, what is this building up to?
Well, it's building up to asolar or, sorry, it's building
(32:11):
up to a full moon in Libra onApril 12th of 2025.
I had to pause there for asecond because I was just
checking on my software when theeclipses were happening after
that, checking on my softwarewhen the eclipses were happening
after that.
But, yeah, april 12th 2025 isthe Fulman in Libra, which is
the cresting of this energy I'mtalking about, and you know
(32:34):
there was, there is an eclipseright before that in Aries, I
believe.
So March 29th.
Yeah, nine degrees of Aries,and that really is the last
eclipse in you know, sort ofthat Aries-Libra cycle or axis.
I should say.
Everything after that is goingto switch over to Virgo, you
(32:57):
know, and Pisces.
So when we go to that eclipse onApril or, sorry, that full moon
on April 12th of 2025, you know, we are looking at really the
conclusion of these lessons, Ithink.
And you know, look at what'shappening here Venus again
(33:20):
conjunct Saturn and Pisces andthis time, instead of, you know,
finishing out its retrogradecycle and getting out of its
retrograde cycle during thatsolar eclipse in Libra October
2023, like it was opposingSaturn in, like you know, venus
(33:41):
was in Virgo opposing Saturn.
That is obviously a very toughaspect.
That felt more like a rudeawakening.
In this case, april 12, 2025,the Libra full moon, venus,
again, in this case likebasically about to station
direct in Pisces, but conjunctSaturn, the North Node and
(34:06):
Mercury.
That, to me, can be the ultimatelesson that, again,
relationships take time, eventhe right relationship, even the
dream relationship and I talkedabout this in a video last week
but relationships here, throughthis eclipse cycle, should
(34:27):
become anti-fragile, and I thinkthat's just a fantastic term
that is used in a number ofdifferent contexts.
But essentially, you want tocreate a relationship that
actually gets better in responseto challenges.
It not only just adapts tosurvive, but it is a
(34:49):
relationship that you knowwhenever it's met with
resistance, it sees that asresistance training and it just
gets stronger, because norelationship will be, you know,
literally perfect or without.
Again, it's challenges.
So hopefully, by April 12th2025, you've either fully
(35:12):
processed that lesson, whichagain will take time to process,
like, even if you're listeningto me now and you're nodding and
you're like, yeah, that makessense, you will still run into
bottlenecks, I'm sure, where apartner does something you don't
like or you do something theydon't like and you have to come
to some kind of agreement aboutsomething, some kind of
compromise.
(35:32):
I think that you can create aflow of energy in your
relationships by this point inApril 2025 that is harmonious,
transparent, honest, open,respectful, dignified and
(35:53):
trusting and hopefully, by thattime again, you either have
manifested that relationshipyou've wanted or you've adopted
the right mindset for it.
And, with the North Node beingin Aries through January of 2025
, before that time, maybe you'rejust hitting a new stride
(36:15):
independently and you don't havean agenda with a relationship
and you're just welcomingwhatever comes next, but you're
not desperately looking for one,a relationship.
But I would say that if you'relooking to use these energies
which are here for the taking,you should focus on
(36:39):
relationships in some respect,because you can learn a lot
about yourself through otherpeople during these cycles of
eclipses and Aries and Libra.
We ultimately have to strike abalance with the lunar nodes.
We have to lean into the northnode to find our independence,
(36:59):
but then we have to bring thatback into that south node in
Libra to cultivate relationshipsthat don't feel stagnant, that
don't repeat the same patterns,relationships that operate with
a sense of mutual respect.
So I think to be a lone wolfand I'm not saying that everyone
(37:22):
needs to be in a romanticrelationship right now, by the
way but to be totally isolatedfrom other people is just not
really making use of thesetransits.
Because the North Node in Ariesdoesn't mean stand on your own
island, because you're not goingto learn necessarily anything
by standing on your own island,necessarily anything by standing
(37:47):
on your own island.
I think you're going to growand evolve the most by working
through relationships,transparently and steadfastly,
separating the wheat from thechaff, realizing which
relationships are productive foryou, which ones are not, and
moving forward accordingly, suchthat, by April 12th 2025, you
(38:17):
are in a relationship that onecould say is attaining some kind
of divine love, or maybetapping into a universal love or
a devotional love, arelationship that is truly
uplifting and selfless, andjoyful and blissful, and
spiritual, maybe, andspiritually enlightening, all at
the same time.
So, again, well, let me alsogive you the timing of this
(38:42):
eclipse before I head out,because I don't think I even
specified that for you.
Ironically, sometimes thathappens right, but it is October
2nd, 1149 am, pacific Time, at10 degrees of Libra.
So, thank you so much.

This is Astrology Unbound, andI will see you at the next
episode, take care.
Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to
the latest episode of AstrologyUnbound.
Today, I'm going to reveal thehidden meaning of this upcoming
solar eclipse in Libra onOctober 2nd.
Before I begin, though, be sureto check out my Substack
newsletter for an in-depthbreakdown of my predictions for
the globe, my step-by-stepmanifestation guides for each
(00:27):
full moon, intention-settingrecommendations for new moons,
educational content and more.
Now, I do have a freesubscription service through
that, where you can access thehigh-level themes, but I also
have a paid service where youcan also access the horoscopes.
You can also access a call withme every week where I do live
birth chart readings, andthere's also a whole lot more
(00:49):
through that package.
So let's jump in to the bigevent of the week.
This is the solar eclipse inLibra, at 10 degrees of Libra,
by the way, and this is a majorevent because we are talking
about an eclipse, and eclipsesdefinitely redefine our life
path.
In many cases, they close onechapter, they begin another,
(01:14):
they are new, or full moons onsteroids, as many astrologers
say, and that's because thenorth and south node are
involved in an eclipse.
The south node has a lot to dowith our karma, past life
actions.
The north node is tied to oursoul's potential, evolutionary
potential, our destiny, ourdharma, and in this case we're
(01:38):
dealing with a south nodal solareclipse, which definitely makes
this again sort of an endingand a beginning.
So when we're talking about asolar eclipse, we are talking
about a new moon Again.
It just happens to be within acertain proximity to either the
north or south node to count asa solar eclipse.
(01:59):
And during a solar eclipse, themoon is in between the sun and
the earth and partially or fullyblocking the sun's light.
Now, in this case it's anannular eclipse, so you're still
going to see a ring of fire,the sun, around the moon, but it
will be blocking much of thesun's light.
And a new moon, of course,typically denotes a beginning
(02:21):
and you're setting intentionsand you're setting a new course.
But because the south node isalso aligned with this new moon,
this solar eclipse, we are alsobeing called to reflect on the
things that we want to overcome,the patterns that we want to
let go of, the assumptions thatwe want to stop making, just in
general, the cycles that we aremeant to break out of.
(02:43):
So when we think about, again,a typical new moon, we are
planting a seed, but in thiscase, because it's an eclipse,
it is slightly out of ourcontrol.
It's not that we can't try toaim towards some kind of
directional intention, but it'svery unlikely that we're going
(03:04):
to be able to anticipate theexact sort of outcome.
We don't necessarily know whatit is that we're creating, but
we know that we are resettingsome energy here.
We are cleansing, purging andtransitioning again into a new
chapter.
So let's also talk about thenature of the sign of Libra,
(03:25):
though.
So let's remember, this ishappening in Libra at 10 degrees
.
So if you have, first of all,before I get into that if you
have major placements between 5and 15 degrees of the cardinal
signs, which would be Libra,aries, capricorn, cancer, then
this eclipse will have an evenmore profound impact on you
personally than it would forsomeone without those placements
(03:46):
.
So, either way, let's go intothe meanings of Libra here.
So some of the key concepts ofLibra include the concept of
trust, balance, harmony, mutualexchange, relationships,
cooperation, tactfulness,agreements and contracts, and
(04:07):
you'll notice that there's avery interpersonal association
with Libra, and Libras aretrying to create balance,
sometimes through art as welland aesthetics.
I notice a lot of Libra risings, or Libra placements tend to be
photographers or sounddesigners or interior designers,
and you know that's becauseLibra has that sort of
(04:30):
understanding right of how tocreate very tasteful contrast in
something.
So Libra is an energy that Ithink a lot of people
misunderstand.
By the way, because you knowthere are stereotypes of every
sign online and the stereotypeof Libra is that you know they
are always just trying to pleaseother people and they're never
(04:53):
thinking about really just theirown needs.
They're just like creating somekind of persona in order to
balance that relationship.
But I don't really think thatthat's.
I mean, that's obviously notthe ideal form that Libra wants
to take.
Think about Libra as you knowwell, first of all, it's a Venus
ruled sign and it's carryingforward the story of Venus when
(05:17):
it was in Taurus.
So Venus rules Taurus and Libra, and when it's in Taurus, we
are talking a lot about our ownself-worth and the value that we
place on not only materialthings and goods, but like again
ourselves, because it is thesecond zodiac sign following
Aries, which is a fire sign thatis just launching forward, like
(05:40):
Aries is very much just actingon instinct, drive and will, and
then we get into the zone ofTaurus and suddenly we have a
sense of our material needs, oursurvival needs, but we also
place again sort of a value onourselves.
(06:03):
I mean, I think we do developour sense of self-worth and our
natural abilities and talentsand our values through the sign
of Taurus.
So ideally, by the time you getto the second Venus sign,
you've already, you know,established what you're gifted
at and what you're worth, andyou know that means that you're
(06:25):
coming into a relationship, acontract negotiation, you know,
some kind of compromise, not bycompromising yourself, but by
actually standing in this, likestanding on this sort of footing
and having this footing of avery clear sense of self, a
(06:46):
clear sense of identity, a clearself-awareness.
So Libras, ideally, areconstantly aware of themselves,
of what they seek to gain out ofthis negotiation, and they do
look for win-win situations,sometimes, yes, to a fault, and
that's where they need to borrowfrom the Aries side of that
(07:10):
axis of Libra and Aries to leaninto their independent drive and
their needs.
But if you actually think aboutthe evolutionary path of Venus,
venus has already gone throughTaurus by the time we get to
Libra.
So ideally, there is still likea sense of like individual will
(07:34):
and dignity and self-worth and,especially with Taurus,
actually clear values.
So, as long as you're so, aslong as we're coming into an
interpersonal situation with aclear sense of what we need and
what we want and what we value,then I don't think that we have
to sacrifice who we are orcompromise ourselves.
(07:54):
We achieve a compromise bylistening.
Libras, ideally, are listening.
They're listening to the otherperson, they're listening to
their needs and they're meeting.
Maybe they are meeting halfway,but I think that we realize
sometimes in those situationsthat it is a win-win though when
both people can walk away withsomething.
So, anyways, that's like thegeneral nature of Libra, and I
(08:18):
want to sort of focus back in onthis eclipse though.
So, in terms of the aspects onthis eclipse, I already talked
about how it's at 10 degrees ofLibra, but we also, you know, we
want to track the position ofVenus on this eclipse and Venus
is at 11 degrees of Scorpio andyou know Venus is in its
(08:42):
detriment in Scorpio, by the way, but I think it's totally fine
here because it is seeking depth.
So, while we're sort offocusing on relationships during
this eclipse, we're focusing on, potentially, negotiations,
contracts, agreements,compromises.
Venus and Scorpio can maybefind a financial angle out of
(09:06):
something.
So maybe some of you aresigning contracts that have,
maybe, a financial valueattached to them, but in other
cases, you are plunging intothese new depths with someone
who you maybe have been datingor whatnot.
And Venus is trining Saturn andMars during this eclipse.
(09:27):
So some of the changes that youmake in relationships or the
things you reflect on inrelationships can help you
achieve, maybe, long-termsuccess with a partner, but
fundamentally, this eclipse willencompass and implicate some
significant relationship in yourlife, whether that is like
(09:49):
again a romantic partner,professional partner, business
associate or a significantfriend.
You are going to be looking at,I think, your relationships a
lot differently after thiseclipse, but it is not
necessarily a complete shock,because we had a solar eclipse
in Libra last fall as well,october 14th of 2023.
(10:11):
So I think we've familiarizedourselves with the North and
South Nodes positions in Ariesand Libra by now.
So, whereas last October mayhave been more of a surprise for
you, maybe you lost arelationship, maybe you let go
of one this time around, I thinkyou can ideally harness the
(10:32):
better qualities of Libra andreach an agreement, whether that
is financial or it's more in apersonal relationship sort of
setting, but with Mercury alsoinvolved.
You know this follows veryclosely just a couple of days
after a Mercury Kazemi, like weshould ideally have a clearer
perspective actually on ourrelationships.
(10:53):
You know, we should be able tofind the through line across all
of our relationships, all ofour significant ones in the past
, and realize okay, this is thepattern I've always been stuck
in, these are the cycles I keepgoing through and I have lost my
tolerance for it.
And, speaking of that, this isan eclipse for honesty.
(11:13):
One of the rules of thumb hereis to not lie to yourself.
Like, don't lie to yourself.
This is that is something Ithink that Libras can do
sometimes.
The Libra energy sometimes willlie to itself in order to
strike that compromise.
But remember, the North Node isan Aries, so our evolutionary
potential is all containedwithin the sign opposite, libra,
(11:35):
right now.
So you know, don't lie toyourself.
Be honest with yourself aboutwhat you need and then advocate
for those needs in one of theserelationships I'm talking about,
which is very much an Ariestype of activity.
So being decisive is importantright now, being transparent and
honest, like I said, andapproaching any negotiation
(12:00):
right now or relationship with acertain unwavering nature right
now, or relationship with acertain unwavering nature and
vocalizing, articulating to,let's say, your partner that you
, yeah, will no longer toleratesomething, that you've noticed
their lack of decisivedecisiveness on something, or
you've noticed how they continueto regress and move and work
(12:23):
and move backwards withsomething.
So call these things out.
You want to call these thingsout in order to really just show
them the partner and theuniverse that you have a sense
of self-respect and that you canset boundaries and that you
(12:43):
won't tolerate anything andeverything.
And then you're going tobreathe truth into that
connection, whether it isprofessional or romantic or a
friend, and as you breathe truthinto that, you end it is
professional or romantic or afriend, and as you breathe truth
into that, you end up helpingboth parties out.
And another thing that you wantto do is don't assume that the
(13:04):
other person will be the one toinitiate a difficult
conversation right now.
So if the energy of arelationship in your life is
precarious, tenuous, you don'treally know where it's going
don't expect the other person tocarry forward or raise that
(13:24):
discussion with you.
Raise that conversation.
There is no fire in the skyright now, either as I'm talking
or during this eclipse.
So no planets and fire signs,except for Chiron in the North
Node.
The North Node is not a planet,it's just a calculation.
Chiron in the North Node theNorth Node is not a planet, it's
just a calculation.
Chiron is a minor planet, somost people around you will not
(13:45):
actually be harnessing that sortof you know, that fiery,
risk-loving, decisive energy,action-oriented.
A lot of people are only goingto be feeling that charge when,
when they're when the mars andcancer transit is activated,
which means, if anything, peoplemay be acting in kind of a
petty way because mars andcancer sometimes will have this
(14:08):
notion that it's like defendingsome and like protecting
something.
That's like monumental whenit's really minuscule.
Actually so and I'm not tryingto pick on mars and cancer out
of malice or anything it's justthat technically mars has fallen
in cancer, so mars is a week ina weaker position in cancer.
So don't expect the people inyour life this week to step up
(14:36):
and own up to their mistakes oreven to again vocalize something
.
Nobody can read anyone's mindin general in those types of
situations.
Don't expect that your partneris going to be able to read your
mind.
Don't expect that your partneris going to be able to read your
mind.
(15:02):
So, yeah, I think those are someof the key takeaways of how to
approach this eclipsestrategically, but I also want
to talk about the cycle of Venusin order to contextualize this
eclipse and again reveal thathidden meaning.
Contextualize this eclipse andagain reveal that hidden meaning
.
So in order to do that, we haveto go back to that eclipse in
(15:22):
October 2023.
So go back to October 14th 2023.
We're going to go on a littlescavenger hunt and I do think
this will help you really againunderstand the position of this
eclipse in the storyline, in thenarrative arc that has been
your life for the past well overa year, since the South Node
(15:45):
has been in Libra, no-transcriptand ask anyone from 86 or 87,
(16:13):
meaning 1986 or 1987, anyone whowas born during those two years
, what their relationships havebeen like.
And that is sort of a windowinto the South Node experience.
Like a lot of people who wereborn in 86 and 87 have been in
relationships that felt reallyfamiliar but they didn't always
pan out or work.
And, by the way, if you're bornduring those two years,
obviously you can find a reallywelcoming partner and a great
relationship.
(16:33):
But I'm saying at the outset ofyour life, meaning you know, in
your twenties, maybe part ofyour teens, you probably were
mostly kind of experiencing alot of karma from past lives in
relationships Like you wereprobably meeting people in
college and after college whofelt very again familiar to you,
(16:59):
but that's because you probablyhad a connection with them in a
past life.
And while that can be nice tokind of, you know, sit with a
relationship that feelscomfortable, eventually growth
is sort of missing.
There's just no growth left, nogrowth potential, and so you
(17:20):
know you walk away from that andthen maybe you find another
comfortable relationship andthen you're dissatisfied with
that and eventually you realize,oh I have to lean into my North
Node in Aries, I have tooperate independently, avoid
codependence and trust Remember,libra is about trust, but with
Aries we're trusting that we canwalk alone, we can walk our own
(17:44):
path if we have to Not that wewill, but that we can.
And then when you sort ofrealize that and you fully
internalize that, the rightpartner, the ideal partner,
shows up.
So all of us are going throughsome version of that and we have
been for the past year andchange, realizing that yes, we
(18:08):
want a relationship, we want tocultivate a trusting union with
someone which is Libra.
But in order to find a healthyrelationship, we have to
recognize our own self-worth and, with Chiron being in Aries
still and throughout thiseclipse cycle, we have to
practice self-love and then withthat love, that love radiates
(18:33):
out and attracts the rightperson.
So this story to me, eventhough it initiated in july, by
the way of 2023, when the nodesshifted into aries and libra,
like that, that was really whenyou probably started to feel
this energy.
Um, you know the and, by the way, there was an eclipse before
(18:54):
this, but I think in in aries,but I don't think that that
necessarily had to be, um, alaunch point for you.
So I'm just gonna quicklyconsult my software here and go
back to that day.
So that was april 19th of 2023.
Like, technically, there was asolar hybrid eclipse at 29 aries
, while the north node was stillin Taurus and the south node
was in Scorpio.
(19:14):
So, interestingly, actually,mars was in a pretty much the
same position it will be induring this eclipse coming up,
but at that 29th degree.
You know, you could go back toApril 19th 2023, and just like
gauge what was going on in yourlife at that time and certainly
it may be relevant to you and so, if it is, I would obviously
(19:36):
work with that timeline as well.
But for now, I want to focus onmostly this October 14th solar
annular eclipse that happened in2023, because this is when the
South Node was actually in Libra.
This is when the south node wasactually in Libra, and there
(19:58):
are many aspects of this eclipsecoming up on October 2nd that
mirrored this other one inOctober of last year.
Like Mercury was in Libra backthen, south node was in Libra,
mars was in a water sign, plutowas in cap, etc.
But that eclipse, I think, wasmore pointing out a blind spot
for you in a relationship orforcing you, maybe for the first
(20:22):
time, to really reckon withsome sort of pattern or behavior
that you've had in arelationship that has to start
to change.
That has to start to change.
And Venus, which is reallyholding the key here or it is
the key Venus, was opposingSaturn at that time after its
(20:46):
retrograde in Leo.
So we had come out of a prettyrough Venus retrograde.
In my opinion although it willdepend based on your birth chart
but that Venus retrograde inLeo, I think, drained a lot of
the fun and joy out of certainrelationships and forced you to
obviously, like any Venusretrograde, reflect on your
values, but also to reflect onwhether or not your relationship
(21:10):
had any romantic spark left.
And so by the time we reachedthat eclipse in October, venus
was fallen in Virgo, opposingSaturn, the planet of really
karma and tough lessons andwisdom.
And a lot of people lastmid-October broke up, ended a
(21:32):
relationship or just learned areally tough lesson and, yes, in
some cases committed tosomebody.
But think about your life inOctober of 2023.
And that will give you, I think, a lot of clues as to how to
prepare for this upcoming one.
And then we have to jump toactually April 8th, or, sorry,
(21:55):
may 25th of 2024, to reach theconclusion of that particular
eclipse.
So that eclipse set anenergetic tone in your
relationships all the waythrough March of 2024.
That lunar penumbral eclipsewas another transition period
(22:17):
for you.
So maybe at that point you hadstarted to demonstrate to the
universe that you had learnedyour lesson in a relationship.
Perhaps you even started arelationship at that time, or
maybe you ended one from theprevious October.
But also think about March 25thAgain.
What were you learning at thattime?
(22:38):
What wisdom were you gainingthrough other people?
How like were you learningabout the art of compromise at
that time?
Now, venus, again, let's keeptracking the planet that rules
Libra.
Venus at that time was exaltedopposite Virgo, where it's
(22:58):
fallen, and again conjunctSaturn, or sorry, not again, but
conjunct Saturn where, asbefore, it was opposing Saturn.
So again in a hard aspect toSaturn, the planet of commitment
, tough lessons, karma.
So, yet again, we're seeing how, at each turn in these lunation
(23:22):
cycles involving Libra, venusand Saturn are sort of in this
interesting dance.
And that will be sort ofnaturally occurring to some
extent, right?
Because when we have the Sun inLibra, you know, or the Sun in
Aries, on that Libra-Aries axis,just by virtue of the fact that
(23:47):
Saturn is in Pisces and Venusdoesn't move farther than 47
degrees away from the Sun andVenus doesn't move farther than
47 degrees away from the Sun,venus will be in a position to
potentially, you know, reachthat sort of hard aspect with
Saturn.
It just depends on where it isin its synodic cycle, right?
So, but I think that that isvery important to keep in mind,
(24:12):
the fact that Saturn is inPisces throughout these, you
know eclipses in Libra and Ariesis Saturn and Pisces.
Pisces is all about, well, Iguess, in a Venusian context.
Pisces has a lot to do withdevotional, sacrificial love,
(24:32):
this sort of unifying love, thisdivine love, this healing love.
And last October Venus andVirgo had a harshness to it and
there was an unexpected, suddennature to that eclipse because
(24:53):
we were all sort of getting intouch with the South Node and
Libra by March 25th of this year.
I think that a lot of us had achance to really create magic
with someone else or in arelationship.
And so now we're seeing, okay,well, there's a dance going on
(25:13):
between Venus and Saturn in thiseclipse cycle, and Venus again,
is that planet of love andharmony, relationships, and
Saturn is commitment.
So naturally, I'm sure at eachof these stages of these eclipse
cycles, you've been forced toreckon with some really daunting
challenges or hurdles in somekind of interpersonal situation.
(25:35):
But the Venus Saturn aspectsare telling you that the best
relationships are perfected overtime, or even if they never
reach a state of perfection,they are at least refined and
improved and they evolve just byvirtue of two people committing
(25:56):
to something and sticking itout.
Now, of course, I'm not sayingthat people should hold on to a
relationship that's not rightfor them.
Again, speak your needs, don'tlie to yourself.
Advocate for yourself, assertyourself, breathe truth into the
relationship.
But also don't run away justbecause there's a minor
(26:19):
challenge.
Like fantastic relationshipsare hard to find, especially in
our day and age.
Like fantastic relationshipsare hard to find, especially in
our day and age.
So here's Venus and Saturncontinually telling me the
astrologer to tell you that ittakes time.
It's not like not every day hasto be magic, Not every day has
to be even fun.
There will be days when youjust, I don't know.
(26:48):
You're just trying to keep therelationship alive.
But there is value on the otherside of that.
There is a heartfelt richness,a cherishing of the union.
There is a yeah, just anenjoyment of it.
There's a stability to it, butnot necessarily a predictability
(27:10):
, but just a reliability.
And you know, I think that insome ways our relationships
reflect our own internaldialogue.
Self-perception like the bestrelationship for you is
absolutely out there, but itstarts with rewiring your
(27:32):
thought process patterns, yoursense of self.
And, yeah, again, it reallystarts with the thoughts.
Are you telling yourself thetruth about what you need?
Are you telling yourself thetruth about what you need?
Are you telling yourself thetruth about who you're with
right now and whether or notthey can meet your expectations?
Yeah, there's probably going tobe a lot of breakups during
(27:53):
this eclipse, just like lastOctober, but it doesn't have to
be that way.
You can also look at theseeclipses in Libra as, again, a
reminder that theserelationships are chiseled over
time and experience makes therelationship richer and more
valuable.
(28:13):
Just to say that I rememberthat time with you and we
experienced that together and weovercame that challenge
together.
Like there's a great song by oneof my favorite bands, prefab
Sprout, which is like a sort ofa I don't know pop, jazz,
(28:33):
alternative indie band from theUK from the eighties and they
have a song called I Rememberthat and one of the lyric is
nothing sounds as good as Iremember that.
And you know it's like you maybe in a position someday where
it's like you're on a date withsomeone new and there's some
(28:56):
excitement there.
It's like you know the noveltyfactor is you're seeing, you're
sort of basking in the noveltyfactor of it, but then you want
to kind of like you, you tellthem a story about your.
Like you know, from 10 yearsago or about your 20s or your
(29:16):
30s, and you can tell thatthey're just not really getting
it, they're not reallyinternalizing what you're saying
.
And then you suddenly you wishthat someone you had dated back
then, you know, was there to beable to resonate with that story
, because maybe they were therewith you or they were in your
life at that time.
And then there's sort of awistful regret that sweeps over
(29:39):
you.
Now I'm not telling that storyto say that that will be your
fate or anything, but you know,there's moments like that when I
think people realize that theremay have been a really
rewarding sort of experience onthe other side of all those
challenges if they had stuckwith that person.
(30:03):
So like, if you have, if youhave Mars conjunct Venus in your
chart, which is pretty much theopposite energy of Saturn
conjunct Venus you may besomeone who impatiently pushes
away a partner if they're notmeeting your needs Right away.
There's this sort of this againimpatience with Mars, but with
Saturn, it's all about patiencesort of this again impatience
(30:25):
with Mars, but with Saturn, it'sall about patience.
So in this Venus cycle, in thiseclipse cycle, I think the
position of Venus is telling uslike, don't assume that when you
let go of that partner who isactually terrible and is
actually maybe even a bad personor something, don't assume that
(30:46):
when you let go of them, thatyou're just going to manifest
your dream partner out of thinair and that even when you do
manifest them, that is justgoing to be easy and effortless.
It's not Saturn's going to showyou hey, there's going to be a
lot of effort, so when yourdream person comes through, it's
going to be a boot camp in someway.
(31:06):
So, march 25th, venus can joinSaturn and then the lunar
eclipse or sorry, the solareclipse coming up.
What's going on here?
Well, venus is actually triningSaturn.
So I think this eclipse againcan be about positive,
(31:27):
beneficial commitments For someof you, financial contracts with
Venus in Scorpio specifically.
But I don't think that thiseclipse will be quite as
fractious as the last eclipse inOctober 2023.
I think this one has a beenthere, done that attitude.
(31:49):
We've seen this before.
We can manage it.
But if you have been bitingyour tongue, you haven't raised
your concerns, voiced yourconcerns with a partner.
Well then, you probably shoulddo it now, october 2nd.
Now, what is this building up to?
Well, it's building up to asolar or, sorry, it's building
(32:11):
up to a full moon in Libra onApril 12th of 2025.
I had to pause there for asecond because I was just
checking on my software when theeclipses were happening after
that, checking on my softwarewhen the eclipses were happening
after that.
But, yeah, april 12th 2025 isthe Fulman in Libra, which is
the cresting of this energy I'mtalking about, and you know
(32:34):
there was, there is an eclipseright before that in Aries, I
believe.
So March 29th.
Yeah, nine degrees of Aries,and that really is the last
eclipse in you know, sort ofthat Aries-Libra cycle or axis.
I should say.
Everything after that is goingto switch over to Virgo, you
(32:57):
know, and Pisces.
So when we go to that eclipse onApril or, sorry, that full moon
on April 12th of 2025, you know, we are looking at really the
conclusion of these lessons, Ithink.
And you know, look at what'shappening here Venus again
(33:20):
conjunct Saturn and Pisces andthis time, instead of, you know,
finishing out its retrogradecycle and getting out of its
retrograde cycle during thatsolar eclipse in Libra October
2023, like it was opposingSaturn in, like you know, venus
(33:41):
was in Virgo opposing Saturn.
That is obviously a very toughaspect.
That felt more like a rudeawakening.
In this case, april 12, 2025,the Libra full moon, venus,
again, in this case likebasically about to station
direct in Pisces, but conjunctSaturn, the North Node and
(34:06):
Mercury.
That, to me, can be the ultimatelesson that, again,
relationships take time, eventhe right relationship, even the
dream relationship and I talkedabout this in a video last week
but relationships here, throughthis eclipse cycle, should
(34:27):
become anti-fragile, and I thinkthat's just a fantastic term
that is used in a number ofdifferent contexts.
But essentially, you want tocreate a relationship that
actually gets better in responseto challenges.
It not only just adapts tosurvive, but it is a
(34:49):
relationship that you knowwhenever it's met with
resistance, it sees that asresistance training and it just
gets stronger, because norelationship will be, you know,
literally perfect or without.
Again, it's challenges.
So hopefully, by April 12th2025, you've either fully
(35:12):
processed that lesson, whichagain will take time to process,
like, even if you're listeningto me now and you're nodding and
you're like, yeah, that makessense, you will still run into
bottlenecks, I'm sure, where apartner does something you don't
like or you do something theydon't like and you have to come
to some kind of agreement aboutsomething, some kind of
compromise.
(35:32):
I think that you can create aflow of energy in your
relationships by this point inApril 2025 that is harmonious,
transparent, honest, open,respectful, dignified and
(35:53):
trusting and hopefully, by thattime again, you either have
manifested that relationshipyou've wanted or you've adopted
the right mindset for it.
And, with the North Node beingin Aries through January of 2025
, before that time, maybe you'rejust hitting a new stride
(36:15):
independently and you don't havean agenda with a relationship
and you're just welcomingwhatever comes next, but you're
not desperately looking for one,a relationship.
But I would say that if you'relooking to use these energies
which are here for the taking,you should focus on
(36:39):
relationships in some respect,because you can learn a lot
about yourself through otherpeople during these cycles of
eclipses and Aries and Libra.
We ultimately have to strike abalance with the lunar nodes.
We have to lean into the northnode to find our independence,
(36:59):
but then we have to bring thatback into that south node in
Libra to cultivate relationshipsthat don't feel stagnant, that
don't repeat the same patterns,relationships that operate with
a sense of mutual respect.
So I think to be a lone wolfand I'm not saying that everyone
(37:22):
needs to be in a romanticrelationship right now, by the
way but to be totally isolatedfrom other people is just not
really making use of thesetransits.
Because the North Node in Ariesdoesn't mean stand on your own
island, because you're not goingto learn necessarily anything
by standing on your own island,necessarily anything by standing
(37:47):
on your own island.
I think you're going to growand evolve the most by working
through relationships,transparently and steadfastly,
separating the wheat from thechaff, realizing which
relationships are productive foryou, which ones are not, and
moving forward accordingly, suchthat, by April 12th 2025, you
(38:17):
are in a relationship that onecould say is attaining some kind
of divine love, or maybetapping into a universal love or
a devotional love, arelationship that is truly
uplifting and selfless, andjoyful and blissful, and
spiritual, maybe, andspiritually enlightening, all at
the same time.
So, again, well, let me alsogive you the timing of this
(38:42):
eclipse before I head out,because I don't think I even
specified that for you.
Ironically, sometimes thathappens right, but it is October
2nd, 1149 am, pacific Time, at10 degrees of Libra.
So, thank you so much.
