October 2023: New moon + solar eclipse in Libra
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol for this full moon.
The October 2023 new moon falls in the sign of Libra and ushers us into eclipse season. Solar eclipses typically lend extra oomph to the new moon, helping us to break habitual patterns, bringing in an awakening of sorts, and offering us a cosmic reboot.
The October 2023 solar eclipse in Libra focuses on our relationships and how we choose to show up for the people in our lives.
This Libra solar eclipse can also bring the thoughts we engage with into sharp focus, helping us shed those patterns and blocks that keep us stuck and small. It’s a good time to work on enhancing our inner strength and confidence, as it reminds us that we already have what we need to lead our best lives.
To throw some more light on the astrology of the new moon in Libra, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The new moon falls in decan 3, which is represented by the 4 of Swords. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with Justice, which is associated with Libra.
You’ll find the full astro-tarot forecast, tarot spread and journaling questions, as well as an exploration of the Sabian Symbol on the website.
