October marks the unofficial start of spooky season, and the current cosmic circumstances fully affirm this vibe — as the month also begins under the rays of a powerful solar eclipse.
In the social and relationship-oriented sign of Libra, the upcoming new moon solar eclipse arrives on October 2, showing everyone the paths they can take toward more balanced partnerships and a stronger sense of independence.

Of course, some people will feel more transformed by this cosmic spectacle than others, and it’s a big deal for the few zodiac signs most affected by the solar eclipse.
This is the last eclipse that will occur in Libra for nearly a decade, so while its new moon energy will certainly open doors to new beginnings, it will also feel like endings are in progress. And that’s because they are! A lunar point focused on release, called the South Node, has been in Libra since last July, forcing you to confront any crutches you’ve been leaning on in the Libra-ruled parts of your chart to avoid facing your issues head-on.
Eclipses occur when a new or full moon aligns with one of the Nodes of Destiny, so this final Libra-ruled eclipse is giving you one last push to embrace more independence, assert your needs in relationships with more confidence, and abandon toxic dynamics with others that are preventing you from being truly happy.
Everyone has an eclipse story that will reach its penultimate episode during this powerful lunation. But if you’re one of the zodiac signs most affected by the October 2 new moon solar eclipse, the plot points are set to be especially potent.
Aries (March 21 to April 19):
As Libra’s zodiacal opposite, your sign is heavily involved in the current series of eclipses. This solar eclipse is emerging in your relationship sector, so you may find that some important life lessons about love, partnership, and cooperation are finally falling into place. If you can resist the urge to stay within your comfort zone, you’ll make strides in the right direction for the first time in a while. You might also find that it’s time to embrace a new beginning by saying goodbye to something — whether it’s a toxic relationship you’ve been holding onto or some resentment that needs to be worked through.
It’s not easy, but trust that any changes happening in your life are in your best interest. Your cosmic ruler Mars is in a beautiful alignment with lover Venus and stability-centered Saturn, so if you need to set a boundary, now’s the time.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22):
You’re the zodiac’s singular moon-ruled sign, Cancer, so eclipses will always strongly influence you. But this one in particular is crystallizing some life-changing growth spurts, as it’s hitting the sensitive, home-focused fourth house of your chart. The dichotomy between your private life and your public life has been undergoing major shifts over the past year and a half, and now, you might have to let go of some old beliefs or realize you need to stop clinging to certain memories. No matter how hard you hold onto the past, nothing will ever be exactly as it was before — but this lunation could help you realize that’s a good thing.
Celebrate the past and savor the sweet nostalgia these reflections bring, but be open to the idea that the future may bring completely new, yet equally meaningful, experiences.
Libra (September 23 to October 22):
This eclipse is happening in your sign, transforming your identity, sense of self, and how you show up in your relationships. As it’s the last eclipse that will hit your sign for nearly a decade, it also marks the twilight of an important personal journey in your life. You’ve been shedding past versions of yourself, identifying and separating from the qualities that are holding you back from true authenticity. You’re changing your mindset and letting go of self-consciousness. You’re on the brink of a total rebirth.
While this requires a lot of release on your part, which may come with a lot of sadness, important new paths are materializing in front of you. Embarking on the great unknown can be scary, but perhaps you’re starting to see that growth lies on the other side of mystery. If you make it through this eclipse, you’ll have a clear vision.
