New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra

In the Hindu myth of Rahu and Ketu, as a punishment for drinking the nectar of immortality, a dragon was cut in half by the gods. The body was called Ketu, who floated without any given direction, and the head was Rahu, who remained hungry and unsatisfied. Eclipses are believed to be the bridge between Ketu and Rahu, and so are the moon’s nodes in your birth charts.
 The word "fate" comes from the Latin word "fatum," meaning "that which has been spoken," while "destiny" originates from "destinare," meaning “to ordain, to devote, to consecrate,” and is connected to the word destination. Eclipses also serve as the link between fate and destiny, connecting the past and the future.
The Libra new moon solar eclipse conjunct the south node (Ketu) is on its way, arriving at 12:13 PM EDT on Saturday the 14th.
Eclipses near the south node often signal the need to release something. With Libra in play, this is conceivably about the relationship dynamics we must remove to create better cycles. People we have recently encountered or will encounter in the next 6 months might "seem familiar," as they might be carrying something from our past, in this one or another. They may lead us to remember something we believe was taboo in our past (Pluto squares the nodes), and we may choose to accept whatever this means for us. 
Have you been holding too much? There is a serious and colder side to this eclipse, as the ruler of it, Venus, opposes Saturn. Saturn asks for a tough commitment, and this time, you don’t need to do it all by yourself this time.

All Signs:


Aries rising: Are you willing to embrace your current relationships while addressing and finding solutions to the emotional scars left by your past ones?
Taurus rising: Are you willing to acknowledge what has disrupted your self-care routine in the past and recognize that caring for yourself often begins with altering even the smallest of habits?
Gemini rising: Are you willing to let go of self-limiting beliefs about your creativity and acknowledge that you can flourish and fully embrace your authentic self?
Cancer rising: Can you recognize the karmic baggage you might be carrying from your family connections? Are there any habits or traits that could be acting as obstacles in your journey toward self-nurture and healing?
Leo rising: What stopped your ability to engage with here and now, and how can you uncover the wonder in your day-to-day experiences? Getting in touch with what is available at the moment will lead you to pure optimism. 
Virgo rising: What have you relied on in the past that didn't yield the outcomes you deserved? Are you willing to release outdated spending habits and focus on your unique skills that will help you achieve your financial goals?
Libra rising: Are you ready to go of preconceived notions of who you "have to" be and embrace your authenticity outside of your relationships? 
Scorpio rising: You love a mystery. How are you going to bring into open what you previously kept hidden in the shadows? Can you make peace with your secrets?
Sagittarius rising: Are you ready to reveal your authentic self to your community? You grieved enough for a previously lost group of people. Now it's time to celebrate with the new ones. Remember, a celebration is more enjoyable when shared!
Capricorn rising: Your ability to transform even mistakes into success is impressive. Are you prepared to release an old public image and reshape your career using the lessons you've learned?
Aquarius rising: Are you ready to let go of old belief systems and welcome a greater sense of freedom? 
Pisces rising: Are you open to evaluating what hasn't been successful in terms of both investments and intimacy and exploring new approaches to achieve better outcomes?
