Dear reader,
On October 2nd we will experience the last eclipse of 2024.
It is a Solar Eclipse at 10º04’ in Libra. This last eclipse is extra special. It not only coincides with the South Node. But it is also conjunct the Black Moon. Super important! But why? Before delving deeper into this, first some general information.

This is an annular solar eclipse which means that the Moon passes directly between the Earth and Sun, but does not completely cover the Sun's disk. The 'ring of fire' will pass through the Pacific and South America. At the point of greatest eclipse in the Pacific, the Moon will obscure 93% of the Sun's center, creating a "ring of fire" visible for 7 minutes and 25 seconds.

In general it can be said that a solar eclipse symbolizes moments of darkness followed by illumination, accompanied by powerful transitions, endings, and new beginnings. As opposed to a Lunar Eclipse, which is a Super Super FULL Moon and often marks an end to a situation, a Solar Eclipse is like a Super Super NEW Moon that usually marks a new beginning, depending where the eclipse falls in your chart.
The Solar Eclipse is therefore extra special and very interesting to interpret from Diamond Astrology. Why? Because Diamond Astrology works with the NODAL AXIS; the North and South Node - with the LUNAR AXIS; the Black Moon and the Supermoon Priapus and with the SOLAR AXIS, the Black Sun and the Diamond. All three axes are involved with these eclipse. Food for Diamond Astrologers!The Super Super New Moon falls on 10º06’ in Libra AND conjunct the South Node at 06º40’ Libra AND conjunct the Corrected Black Moon at 09º56’ Libra AND conjunct the Mean Black Moon at 10º34’ Libra. As you probably know by now, the distance between the Mean and Corrected Black Moon forms the Cosmic Birth Channel, which is in 00º43’ in this chart. And Mars is conjunct the Black Sun.

NOTE: the three axes are a layer on top op the chart and are always
interpreted in relation to the traditional chart.

The sample chart is based on EDT, New York USA, but of course the solar eclipse is a global event and therefore the house cusps should be ignored.

THE ECLIPSE OF 2nd OCT IS CONNECTED TO THE ECLIPSE OF 25th MARCH
|
|
This eclipse can be directly related to the Lunar eclipse that took place on March 25th of this year. Then it was a Lunar Eclipse at 07º05’ in Libra and that could mean the end of a certain situation in your life. On October 2nd the Solar Eclipse falls at 10º06’ in Libra, so almost at the same place in your horoscope, and this can mean that you are going to make a completely new start with what you ended with half a year ago. Please note: an eclipse does not have to work out on the day itself! You can feel the energy in advance and the after-effects can last for about half a year or longer.
If you have planets at about 5 to15 degrees in Libra, Cancer, Aries or Capricorn then you will feel a compelling force pushing you toward change. If you have planets at about 5 tot 15 degrees Aquarius, Libra or Gemini this eclipse can bring positive change in your life. Also see where 10º Libra falls in your chart for that house indicates the life aera of change.

MARS CONJUNCT THE BLACK SUN
|
|
Mars is conjunct the Black Sun every 26 months, so every just over two years.
The remarkable thing is that Mars makes squares with the stellium in Libra: so there is tension on the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, the Black Moon and the South Node. The Black Sun is an important lumiary in Diamond Astrology. It is in one sign for about 9,200 years and for previous and future generations the Black Sun is around 13 degrees Cancer. Directly opposite the Black Sun is the Diamond which is around 13 degrees Capricorn. Both points are part of the Solar Axis.
But how should we interpret the Black Sun? One of the characteristics of the Black Sun is that it rules the large scale. Where it is in the horoscope you can get a large reach, but then it has to be connected to one or more planets. The Black Sun therefore also rules over the emerging globalism. Just as every planet can have a positive and negative effect, so does the Black Sun, which depends on the entire constellation of the horoscope.
On a mundane level Mars is also the military and war. Within a short time Israel is busy carrying out attacks on Lebanon, starting with the exploding walkie-talkies, thereby provoking a reaction from Iran. Iran, as an ally of Lebanon, is being pushed into a very unpleasant corner and is almost forced to react, something that Iran has consciously not done so far in order not to unleash a major war. The tension that Mars creates with this eclipse is palpable and with the conjunction of the Black Sun the threat of a major war is just around the corner. But Mars is also in a major Water Trine with Venus and Saturn. On a mundane level Venus is peace and diplomacy. Saturn represents politics, the law and the bureaucracy. Fortunately, the Black Sun is also part of this Water Triangle in a very positive way. Forces and counterforces are at work here. It comes down to an ever-increasing battle between the dark and the light that, with this eclipse, only needs a match to ignite a major war.
You and I, we are all born in this time of the fiercest battle between light and dark. To survive it is important that you anchor yourself well in yourSelf and stay away from fear. Keep your energy high and try to find and give warmth and love in your own circle of loved ones.

SOLAR ECLIPSE CONJUNCT THE SOUTH NODE
|
|
A Solar Eclipse that coincides with the South Node is a powerful event in astrology. The South Node symbolizes themes from the past that, whether pleasant or not, are still in your backpack. The South Node represents also your habits, the known path, and when you follow that path for too long you get stuck. This aspect means a coming together of experiences from your past, of events that may bring up positive or negative karma and of letting go. It brings up patterns that you consciously or unconsciously repeat, that have had their use and that are now coming into the spotlight.

SOLAR ECLIPSE CONJUNCT THE BLACK BLACK MOON
|
|
The Black Moon is in one sign for 9 months. It is now in Libra and will remain there until March 2025. On 2nd October the Solar Eclipse will be also conjunct the Black Moon.
The Black Moon represents your source wisdom. You may also call it your highest soul quality. It is the part of you that uses a magnifying glass on a periscope to perceive the outside world crystal clear with regard to the sign and house in which it is located. It is a source of absolute wisdom and knowledge within you. A source to which nothing more can be added. Try to feel that. This source opens up gradually, certainly towards midlife, and is full of intuitive, as yet unrevealed wisdom. With this eclipse, contents of this can suddenly surface in your consciousness. The Black Moon absolutely does not like conditioning and propels you towards your most unique Self, even if that deviates from what is accepted as normal in our society. With this eclipse, a part of yourself will surface that has been in the shadows for a long time. Because this eclipse falls in Libra, it will have to do with relational themes. You can become aware of the extent to which your relational life is based on conditioning. You can now start to wonder whether that is really what you want in your relationships. This eclipse will bring up parts of yourself that you have not yet wanted, dared or been able to acknowledge. Have you adapted yourself too much to what the outside world expects of you with regard to your relationships? If so, then this eclipse will make you aware of this. This will encourage you to break away from these conditioned patterns. It takes courage and daring to look at yourself in this, especially because the North Node is in Aries.
But there is also a promise: when you dare to break through old patterns in your relationships that no longer serve you, this will of course transform the energy exchange in the relationship. This can encourage the other person to transform also to a higher quality of relationship, which goes beyond imposed pleasing, wanting to be liked and wanting to keep the peace. Or maybe you discover that you don't want a relationship at all, or maybe a relationship with someone of your own sex, or with someone much older or younger, or someone from a completely different culture. Either way, this eclipse will bring up dormant content in yourself regarding your relationships. Also look at the house in which the eclipse falls. For example, if it falls in the 5th house, it has to do with (your) children, hobbies, ability and creativity.
