October Solar Eclipse - The Power to Create!

October 2nd is a solar eclipse and a new moon. This solar eclipse has a cluster of planets concentrated in the sign of Virgo including Mercury, the sun, the moon, and Ketu, they are very close to the center of Virgo. Virgo is associated with our health and the useful tools we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces on the other side deals with our spiritual aspects. The key to balance is to identify and express our spiritual needs while maintaining a healthy daily routine and efficiency in our daily lives. This is a great time to initiate a new project and a new beginning. Your mind may be restless but lots of creative ideas are generated in your head. It is time to detach and start some mindful practice if you feel restless.

Both Jupiter and Mars have positive aspects on this solar eclipse. Jupiter’s 5th aspect provides knowledge and Mars’ 4th aspect provides protection. Mercury is exalted in its own sign Virgo and Ketu is also involved. This solar eclipse brings new beginnings, rejuvenation, and new career opportunities. If you want to improve your productivity and change unhealthy daily habits, this is a great time. This eclipse is in Hasta Nakshatra, Hasta is linked to hands, craftsmanship, skilfulness, and power to manifest because of its creative energy. It is associated with the moon but also called the sun's first ray, so both sun and moon energy are infused in this Nakshatra, which has lots of positive energy and manifestation power. It also indicates incomplete projects from the past that need completion. Virgo and Gemini will have the most impact from this eclipse.
