Solar Eclipse in Libra (October 2, 2024)
These eclipses come and go, with frightening regularity, and, after a while, I tend to stop worrying about them. But this one is different, for the whole world and for me, personally.
The clue is the fact that the Sun and the Moon are transiting the South Node, within 2° and this could be a very important change time for humanity. But, for me, personally, that eclipse is within 2 minutes of my natal South Node.
The South Node, also known as Ketu in Vedic astrology, represents our past karma, habits, patterns, attachments, and the lessons we have learned in previous lifetimes. It symbolizes our comfort zone, familiar territory, and the areas of life where we may be holding onto outdated beliefs, behaviors, and attachments that no longer serve our highest good and spiritual growth.
Oh-oh.
Because my natal South Node is within 1° of my natal Mars, this eclipse has a sinister, accidental flavour.
So, What are the Things I Should Release?
The first thing that comes to mind is my belief that Astrology can ‘prove’ past lives and reincarnation, because Libra is the sign of Relationships. In the combined charts, above, there is an interactive Yod pointing at the transiting Saturn, formed by inconjuncts to my natal positions of Neptune and Pluto.
So the second thing is the knowledge that I haven’t made a very good husband to any of my three wives.
Just sayin’.
Hmm.
In truth, I don’t know what my destiny is. I guess I have to let that go, too: no more expectations!

File this comment under TMI: About an hour before the eclipse became exact (in South America), I had an emotional reaction to something my wife said. I guess the Moon was coming very close to my South Node position of 10° Libra 2′.

Hopefully, you haven’t misread my intention. I’m not doing anything but letting go of my expectations. All the rest remains as it always was.
