“Accept, then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.” Wise words by author Eckhart Tolle to contemplate as you make your way into eclipse season, Taurus. Just a reminder: It’s all coming up for a reason. It’s all coming up so you can heal and release that which no longer serves you highest and greatest good. Trust that what you’re making space for is grander than what you are leaving behind. We get it, Aries! It feels like your heart is being broken into a million pieces. It feels as if the old wounds have resurfaced as a way to make their presence felt. The important thing to remember at this time is that things are happening for you, and not to you. There’s a blessing in disguise here that only time will reveal. For now, allow yourself to be and to breathe. Libra, this is the week to stop and smell the roses, the jasmines, the tulips, and the lilies! This is the week to say yes to all the juiciness and deliciousness life has to offer as you make space for both pleasure and play. Overheard at the cosmic conference: your life is meant to be a celebration!
So, what does the new moon and eclipse in Libra mean for the rest of the signs? Let’s explore!
Aries
We get it, Aries! It feels like your heart is being broken into a million pieces. It feels as if the old wounds have resurfaced as a way to make their presence felt. The important thing to remember at this time is that things are happening for you, and not to you. There’s a blessing in disguise here that only time will reveal. For now, allow yourself to be and to breathe. It’s a good idea to focus on the sacred self-care practices that enable you to bring tenderness back into the narrative. On the creative and professional front, this may be the time of a close friend or a sibling. Lay some ground rules from the beginning so as to maintain the sanctity of your relationship.
Taurus
“Accept, then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.” Wise words by author Eckhart Tolle to contemplate as you make your way into eclipse season. Just a reminder: it’s all coming up for a reason. It’s all coming up so you can heal and release that which no longer serves you highest and greatest good, beautiful. Trust that what you’re making space for is grander than what you are leaving behind. Overheard at the cosmic conference: The best is yet to come!
Gemini
But, life is not just happening to you! You chose this! Your higher self has chosen these experiences as a way to level up and unleash your highest potential! So, level up, Gemini, as you trust that you are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead! As such, the theme of celebration is showing up strongly in your cards this week. PS: Something that you’ve been hoping and praying for is likely to manifest in the most unexpected manner!
Cancer
“Just because someone desires you, doesn’t mean they value you. Read it over again. Let those words resonate in your mind.” A golden verse by poet Nayyirah Waheed to begin the week with, Cancer. This is your reminder to choose yourself; to devote your energy towards self-growth. This is your reminder to trust the voice of wisdom within which is telling you that people do not change despite the tall claims they make privately. On the upside, life is reminding you that you are loved and you are protected. Make space for those who accept you unconditionally and elevate your soul.
Leo
“The truth is, you were born for you. You came here for you. You are here for you. Your existence is yours. Yes.” A golden verse by poet Nayyirah Waheed to savor as you sip on your morning coffee, beautiful. This is your reminder to tune into your heart space, to follow your bliss, and to dedicate yourself to that which brings you joy. Something tells us you are on a journey towards wholeness this month! As such, the new moon in Libra later this week is likely to activate your intuitive abilities. Make a note of the divine downloads that come to you in moments of silence. Your higher self is holding space for you to blossom into the most magnificent version of yourself!
Virgo
You’ve got the moves, Virgo, and you’re making big things happen for you! This is the week to walk through the portal of prosperity in style and to allow yourself to receive the sweet fruits of your labor. Trust that you are deserving of the success and abundance you have attracted into your universe. As such, the week ahead sees you breaking up with the idea of perfection for good and giving yourself the permission to take more chances. Life doesn’t come with a guarantee card, and that’s what makes every experience so goddamned beautiful.
Libra
This is the week to stop and smell the roses, the jasmines, the tulips, and the lilies! This is the week to say yes to all the juiciness and deliciousness life has to offer as you make space for both pleasure and play. Overheard at the cosmic conference: Your life is meant to be a celebration, Libra! As such, the new moon and eclipse in your sign could bring a positive change on the romantic front, especially if you’ve been manifesting a divine counterpart. Coupled Venusians, work on your communication style as you bring the gifts of honesty and authenticity to the table. There’s nothing you cannot conquer as long as you’re playing for the same team.
Scorpio
If there’s anything you’ve perfected over the years, it’s the art of rising from your own ashes. Something tells us that’s just what you’re in the mood for as you prepare for spooky season! Nothing and nobody can break you, Scorpio. You have what it takes to turn your pain into power, your pain into gold. Halloween costume idea: Demon-slayer! As such, the week ahead also sees you perfecting the art of sacred self-care this week. You’re making time for the rituals and practices that enable you to balance your mind, body, and soul. PS: If you’re feeling inspired to make holistic changes to your diet, work with a nutritionist pronto!
Sagittarius
Your past doesn’t define you, wild one. Your ability to stay in the present and show up for all of life’s deliciousness with a brave and open heart is what will define the course of your life. So, show up for all of life’s juiciness and deliciousness with a brave and open heart as you trust that you are held and protected, Sagittarius. By letting go of your resistance, you will be able to attract circ*mstances that propel you in the direction of growth. As such, the theme of creative renaissance is also showing up strongly in your cards. Take this as your cue to adopt a no-holds-barred policy with your art as you drop the weight of other people’s expectations.
Capricorn
But, how do you deal with conflict, Capricorn? What do you do when the other is unable to see things from your perspective? Just a reminder: the ‘my way or highway’ approach isn’t going to work anymore. Focus on bringing kindness and compassion into the equation. At the same time, revisit your communication style. If there’s something you’ve been yearning to share with them, share it with them in a calm and composed manner. Remember, this isn’t about winning or losing. This is about finding an amicable solution together.
Aquarius
Draw open the curtains, Aquarius. It’s time to let the light in! It’s time to let love in! Just a reminder: you are where you are supposed to be, and everything is transpiring as per the divine plan. The onset of eclipse season along with the new moon in Libra could bring into your life something or somebody from your past. But, can you really start over sans the baggage of the past? Only time will tell. For now, make communication a priority and rewrite the rules of engagement.
Pisces
When one door closes, another one reveals itself. This is something life has taught you over the years, Pisces! So, as you start afresh, you’re bringing softness and tenderness into the equation. You’re learning to love yourself, flaws and all, as you hold space for yourself to blossom and become the best version of yourself. You understand that every mistake is an opportunity to learn and that if it weren’t for our scars, we wouldn’t find a way to awaken the stars within.
