Start of the Eclipse season!
This one is a South Node eclipse, so issues of the past, what has been done already, what has been familiar terrain, especially events that began since the Solar Eclipse in October 2023, will culminate and reach a peak
It doesn't make any notable aspects, except for a wide, out of sign, separating opposition to Neptune.
Looking at the ruler of both the Eclipse and the South Node, we have Venus in it's exaltation in Pisces, however it is restrained by a conjunction to Saturn, so this could have a touch of karmic consequences to it, a sobering feel, maybe even a redemptive quality to it.
Venus also makes a sextile to Jupiter, who it's in mutual reception with. And Jupiter being the planet about moral justice, truth seeking, searching for a bigger meaning.
Combine that with a Libra Moon, and Venus conjunct Saturn Pisces, there really is a strong theme of justice, accountability, redeeming oneself. Jupiter can offer assistance there, given the sextile.
Or given its Libra = the other person. This could be about what ingrained unhealthy dynamics come to a head, and need to be balanced out with another person one-to-one, what conflicts need to be resolved, who needs to take accountability (clue: both!) and if there is an opportunity for making amends, but only if both parties are mature enough to own up to their contribution to the situation.
Looking at the North Node, we have Mercury and Chiron conjunct, and the ruler Mars entering Pisces too. Mars is also unaspected, so it's got free reign there.
Mars is rather unhappy in Pisces. As Mars rules action, but Pisces can be about taking the line of least resistance. It could result in sluggish, lethargic energy, sleep issues.
Also it tends to veer towards the "angry victim" mindset, angry self pity over being hard done by others (Libra), but not taking any action to help oneself, blaming everyone else for their woes. Add that to Chiron conjunct North Node, that could really spill over.
Equally, excessively blaming oneself and playing the villain, "Fine, I'm the bad guy" mindset, is possible too. Saturn Pisces does have a tendency to fall on their swords, a little too much! It's still a way of avoidance, as it shifts the energies into reassuring them that they are "not an awful person", and detracts from resolving the core problem.
There needs to be extreme caution (Saturn) about pointing and firing the blame-gun (Mars Pisces) at someone. With the wide opposition to Neptune, misplaced projection could be a real thing.
Some people, when they are called out on an issue, tend to shut down the other person by saying, "oh, you are just projecting on me" - without questioning their own role and behaviours in a conflict. It's their way of avoiding accountability, and forcing the other person to be the adult who takes responsibility. Watch out for those types!
Rounding up, the Libra Lunar Eclipse has a bit of a reckoning energy to it.
With both Node rulers in Pisces, being a South Node Eclipse, and with Saturn in Pisces - avoiding a conflict, not taking responsibility for the wrongs played out, playing the hard-done-by victim/playing the villain, accusatory projection, and putting the blame entirely on yourself/someone else, will have consequences.
Libra is about mirroring, but with all that Pisces energy, it could be like a Hall of Mirrors! Warped, distorted, unable to see what is who is where!
Collectively, this could be the "divorce rates have skyrocketed" transit! This Lunar Eclipse doesn't bode well for relationships, unless a healthy resolution against the odds can be met.
The plus side:
Libra is all about seeing both views, weighting them up, being objective, and reaching a healthy compromise which benefits both parties.
There is ample opportunities to make amends, but it could be difficult, and only achieved if both parties do the hard work and own the equal share of what went wrong in a connection/relationship/dynamic.
And if that reaches a stalemate, enlisting a mediator could work wonders. With Venus sextile Jupiter (guidance), this could be the best time to sign up for a counsellor, mediation, say in the form of couples therapy. Any objective non-biased third-party.
