Eclipse season for 2024 begins with this full moon lunar eclipse on March 25, 2024, at 12:00 am PDT. Lunar eclipses are often emotional release moments as we surrender one perspective of life for another. This lunar eclipse will reveal ending chapters for relationships. Libra is also a sign for social justice and legal matters, so we all will witness the Libra archetype in relationships, in legal matters more visible for high profile individuals, as well as ambassadors to be visibly changing their positions. The desire to change the aesthetics of spaces at home will also be quite noticeable.
In this lunar eclipse there will be accounting for losses that impact relationships. This is the first hit astrologically. In a few weeks we have the total solar eclipse at 19 Aries on April 8th and there will be more opposing energy between the individualism of Aries and the energy for relationships in Libra. It is a dynamic moment of separating from how others have seen us and how we really desire to be as an individual. This may be really strong energy for certain iconic figures that may speak to this archetypal theme and carry many projections from the masses. Is there an iconic figure in your view that you wish them to stay a certain way for your projections? Or is there enough space for the individual to be authentic to exactly where they are in their life’s journey? Consider projections right now and how public opinions may be really wild about how someone looks right now (Libra) for a certain beauty aesthetic standard, yet there is something absolutely changing for them and there will be a need to separate from that measure of aesthetic or expectation. Some examples may emerge for us collectively with certain iconic figures as they make long desired changes in their lives. It is our collective responsibility to pull back our projections. Our collective shadows of the feminine archetypes are on the stage with Black Moon Lilith at the highest point in the chart of this lunar eclipse conjunct the midheaven (MC) within 2 ½ degrees in Virgo. The collective critical words and how cutting they can be for a person, even the most stoic of figures.
The rebellious planet of Uranus at 20 degrees Taurus is exactly trine Black Moon Lilith. From the 6th house Uranus is in the house of accidents (relative to the Pacific northwest) Venus in Pisces at the nadir of the lunar eclipse chart is opposing Black Moon Lilith in Virgo. The peace of this energy is found in the safe space of home with soothing art and music available to clear the field of harsh energy of the outside world. This lunar eclipse is within 3 ½ degrees of President Biden’s natal Neptune in Libra at 1 ½ degrees, sextile to his Ascendant in Sagittarius and trine his natal Uranus and Saturn on his 7th house cusp in Gemini. There can be issues with how others perceive him, Neptune is something beyond our control, activated by an eclipse can be a certain image that has been held for a long time may reveal challenges to hold a specific image. The “opponent” has a lot of trickster energy he faces simply from his own natal chart and what he must face.
Trump’s Neptune in Libra is exactly on the 5 degrees of this lunar eclipse. Losses in the 2nd house of assets and income are the probability. Neptune with Jupiter in his 2nd house also trines the Sun, Uranus and north node in his 10th house of public persona. His actions will activate many (moon in Sagittarius opposite his Sun that he holds captured by his personality), how that will be depends on how much loss his finances may activate him to behave more boldly to move his position. Neptune co-rules Pisces in his 7th house, though from the perspective of evolutionary astrology Saturn is the co-ruler of Aquarius on his 7th house cusp at the critical 29th degree. It is a good time to review the illusions (Neptune) that are beginning to amplify or deteriorate public image. And both Biden and Trump will struggle with this, but one has it slightly more exact to their natal chart.
Moving beyond these US political figures, there are other figures who have been dominating online chatter and news, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton and her husband the Prince of Wales William, along with the King of England Charles and Queen Camilla. These figures are high profile and there is a huge volume of online conversations happening as to the mystery surrounding the Princess of Wales. If I recall King Charles’ coronation took place on an eclipse last year, and interesting how at this eclipse season there is quite an unraveling surfacing. For students of astrology, I recommend learning about the asteroids of the moment of his coronation and the ever important presence of Camilla in his moment becoming king. Astrologer Demetra George did an excellent lecture on this at NORWAC in 2023. England’s royal family have a deep history of life events and eclipses, with King Charles, Prince William and Princess of Wales Kate Middleton were all born during eclipses. The Princess of Wales in review of her chart for some perspective, but for this blog I simply want to note that the lunar eclipse will bring so much forward (which already holds the symbolism of losses related to imbalanced and the break down of communications) and we will also see the surrendering of relationship expectations with others and her surrendering to taking some action. In times past I have noted that many events happen before the actual eclipse happens, we are seeing these actions (not speaking or providing much information publicly yet). However, as we near the actual eclipse, this may prompt a communication. But damage will already have been done. This eclipse is in Kate’s 3rd house of communication, there may be an increasing pressure to be resolved with some communication. Kate’s chart is heavily impacted within a cardinal grand cross at the total solar eclipse in Aries April 8th (her 9th of foreign relations/publishing/travel/legal) as it opposes her Saturn-Pluto in Libra conjunction. She also has the impact of the lunar eclipse too, in Libra 3rd house. This will severely impact her and Prince of Wales William. Interestingly how one poorly edited photo (Neptune in Pisces square her natal Neptune in Sagittarius in her 5th house of creativity and children) was the tsunami that would draw everyone into the mystery of her absence from the public. It really will strike losses on the monarchy (Saturn-Pluto) and her public presence. Kate’s husband the Prince of Wales, William, is symbolized by Saturn in her chart (conjunct Pluto) there is so much power and transformation of power and its relationship, which we see and view through our perspective of Kate. There will be significant changes in her life and the life of her children in the coming weeks, and with Aries in her 9th house it will reverberate around the globe. However, with the lunar eclipse so close to her natal Mars which squares her Sun in Capricorn, there can be a huge impact that befalls her the way she presents herself to the public (her Capricorn Sun at 19 degrees is the ruler of her Ascendant, the mask she presents to the world). The situation unfolding right now is powerfully revealed in her natal chart and the aspects happening through the planetary transits of this moment, it offers a lesson for anyone studying astrology.
Note in Kate’s chart Saturn at 21 Libra is only 5 degrees from Pluto at 26 Libra and both square her Capricorn Sun (status/perfection/authority) with an intensity unparalleled. When you go back in time to review the events just a few days after Christmas reviewing the transits to Kate’s chart it will tell the story with archetypes that are easier to see the truth. Jupiter at the midheaven by transits stationing direct after its retrograde cycle would have been an unyielding pressure from her natal Jupiter in Scorpio for it would begin the path toward revealing the Scorpio themes of her family all that has been hidden will begin to surface through one event that would spark the unfolding and unraveling of so much. The total solar eclipse on April 8th at 19 degrees Aries sits in Kate’s 9th house, and squares her lunar nodes (karmic wave breaking), her moon (soul needs and family, female figures of security opposing the image of monarchy she portrays through her Leo Ascendant as a royal) and her Sun and opposite the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Libra. Kate is in the dark night of the soul, which many who may be reading this have experienced and reach for deeper meaning into the esoteric arts can understand the process with compassion and empathy. The question truly is, how will she navigate to her authentic self. Hopefully her love for herself will find the path that points her toward the sanctuary of her feelings, her soul, and home with her children that allows her the turning point towards her north node in Cancer. Her children are also represented by the planet Jupiter in her chart, so this will be a transitional moment for them. There is a potential shocking revelation related to her children that is also revealed at the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20th. There are numerous revelations unfolding in Kate’s world. As an evolutionary astrologer it is important to consider the evolutionary intentions for any soul, for Kate it is a north node in Cancer with the Moon, as ruler, conjunct all pushing her towards the transition of her soul’s evolutionary intentions solitude, or working with the public and as it relates to women and families. When she finds her ground after this shaking moment, her soulful calling has a path that may be behind the scenes, and yet she may still be focus on the public goodwill, but releasing the standards and expectations of an authoritarian perfect image persona.
You may have zero interest in what is unfolding in England at the moment, it may be more useful to know how or where in your life the Libra eclipse surrender will unfold depending on where the sign of Libra is in your own chart.
Here’s a short list to consider where roughly this occurs for you.
Aries rising? Libra is in your 7th house, you will be witness to others navigating something of surrendering and change. If this is a beloved individual you will participate in that experience. If the individual represented in your 7th house is a legal opponent, the experience can be presented in your favor. This is general consideration for something that your own chart will have specific planets natally distributed through your chart which speak to your unique truth.
For Taurus rising Libra is in the 6th house of daily routines, illness, and mentor-mentee relationships where one may serve the world. This can be the decision to release a teacher-student relationship that has been held for a period of time. It is surrendering to allow something new to emerge for the individual.
For Gemini rising Libra is in the 5th house of children and creative energy expressions. Sports, pleasure activities, films and cinema, and even gambling are all 5th house themes. There are themes with this eclipse of losses for gambling are a higher probability in the weeks before and after it occurs. Gemini rising folks may have expectations in their sports activities that do not go as planned. Odd and unique upsets.
Leo rising individuals will experience this lunar eclipse in their 3rd house of communications, perceptions, siblings, local community, and neighborhood. Leo rising natives will have to consider the sign their Sun is and its position to support the Ascendant energy to express outwards. The interests for 3rd house, also a place for local transportation can have obstacles and even unexpected losses due to delayed transport or something not working, or an accident.
Virgo rising individuals have Libra in their 2nd house of income and personal assets, possession. There can be a significant desire to purge some possessions, actively using the energy to do so. It can also be experienced as adjusting to lost income.
Libra rising individuals can heavily review their relationships and feel a sense of lost identity and go through a process of redefining what they need for themselves in relationships. It may be that when this happens it prompt the Aries partner to make a new choice too, and that is acted upon as the April 8th total solar eclipse in Aries occurs.
Scorpio rising individuals experience Libra themes in their 12th house of self-undoing or where they retreat for solace. There may be a surrender of their place of solitude for something that else to emerge. It can also be experienced with public agencies connected to the individual revealing a loss of the removal of funds or benefit that impacts them. It is adjustment from losses that are experienced.
Sagittarius rising individuals have Libra in their 11th house of groups and allies. The lunar eclipse is opposite their 5th house of children, so there may be something impacting their children that they will need to address. Their own friends and allies or groups they work with closely will have to adjust to something not working, can be a loss of personnel for work projects but can be loss of balance related to their own capacity being spread through many projects. It may be a good time to consider how to re-adjust expectations and plans. Art groups may have to address losses and what is feasible.
Capricorn rising individuals will have Libra in the 10th house, depending on their place of birth of course for quadrant houses. Changes in one’s career, especially as peacemakers or ambassadors. There is a new chapter to unfold that requires releasing the old public persona to bring forward something new. Status matters for Capricorn rising, so it can be hard to shake the expectations of the self for a new identity that wasn’t long worked for or planned.
Aquarius rising folks have Libra in their 9th house of foreign places or long distance travels and people of foreign nations, universities or higher education themes where social activism may spark changes. Also policies may be altered to address losses in some way. Plans or schedules may alter to address things that are no longer available. With Libra as a cardinal sign these things can happen quickly without announcements. Art departments in universities will need to consider new ways of funding or how they bring in new events.
Pisces rising individuals have Libra in their 8th house of death, taxes, insurance, sex, the occult, and the house of shared resources. It can be a bit of a blind spot, however it may show up in obstacles the partner has with finances, or how the Pisces individual holds or carries debt and is figuring a way to change the situation. It can also be the expense of a legal process that requires paying down over time, or having an ally to help. Venus in Pisces at this lunar eclipse does support the Pisces individual, so they may be the supporting factor for someone else.
During this eclipse season consider the flow of your relationships and the subjects of social themes that are arising that you feel passionate about for justice for those who are enduring injustice at this time. Life beckons us to evolve, sometimes we feel ready for the change but most often we are not and it is an uncomfortable process day by day to surrender our identities and consider what life brings forward for us to navigate in our ongoing transformation. Namaste. Bless this moment.
