A powerful day is in the wings for the collective on October 2, 2024, thanks to the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, also called a "ring of fire" eclipse thanks to the ring-shaped shadow the moon casts across the earth.
Because this eclipse occurs in the zodiac sign of Libra, which is associated with relationships and balance, astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim explained that the purpose of this eclipse is to prompt evaluation of the people in your life.
"The solar eclipse in Libra on October 2 will reveal if you can actually trust the people you're closest to," Grim said in a TikTok video. "Some of these developments could be wildly unpredictable."
While every zodiac sign will feel some effects from the eclipse, the energy is especially potent for four zodiac signs. For some, the eclipse will draw suppressed feelings and hidden desires to the surface. For others, it may reveal that they have allowed peer pressure to have too much hold over them. A few may experience heightened psychic powers too.
Ultimately, Grim explained that the astrology of this eclipse "is telling us that the best relationships are refined and chiseled over time."

Aries, you have been on your North Node journey for a while now with this point firmly in your house, so the Solar Eclipse on October 2 will be just another challenge to face in this North Node period of extreme significance for you.
If you've been experiencing burnout or emotional exhaustion, the eclipse will trigger a deep need to cocoon and take care of yourself. Doing too much ends up making a person do too little. So why not focus on the few things that have value and are a priority for your life?
If you feel called to, carry a clear quartz palmstone or wear a clear quartz point around your neck to help you with clarity even during the eclipse.

You are in for an extra layer of intrigue because Pluto, currently retrograde in Capricorn, influences you. This influence will express itself by making your intuitive gifts more pronounced and focused. Don't be surprised if you get premonitions in your dreams.
If you dabble in magic and manifestation, this eclipse period is powerful for intention-setting rituals. But try to steer clear of manifestation magic at this time. Eclipses are said to carry the energy of endings and beginnings so they may bring you what you desire but make it expire or vanish just as quickly.

Cancer, you will have a powerful experience during the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2! You are, after all, a moon child, so everything in the realm of the moon reaches your doorstep sooner or later.
This eclipse will remind you of lost love or friendships you walked away from because of misguided or immature perspectives but never got to mourn. It's a powerful moment to reflect on the various influences on your decision-making.
If you feel called to, carry a Labradorite palmstone to help you channel this eclipse energy better since it will strongly impact your emotions. Past life regression attempts may also be successful under the light of this eclipse.

Because Virgo is said to be in the shadow of Libra, you will feel any influence from the eclipse on a more visceral level. This will manifest as sudden clarity about why you were intuitively picking up something about certain individuals or situations in your daily life. It's almost as if the eclipse will make all the puzzle pieces that were throwing up red flags suddenly snap together into a technicolor image.
If you feel called to, journal your thoughts when this happens so you can bring up even more insights from deep within you. Your relationship with food, especially those grown in the earth (plants, mushrooms, etc.), will also be pinged by this energy. Be mindful and you will reap an indirect blessing from the eclipse in the form of true vitality.
