The night of October 14th, 2023, promises a celestial spectacle of profound astrological significance—the Solar eclipse in Libra. This enchanting event marks a harmonious alignment in the cosmos, inviting us to delve into the mysteries of the moon, its role in witchcraft, and the reasons behind the cautionary whispers against manifestation during eclipse season. Let’s unlock the secrets of this eclipse seson together..
The Moon’s Timeless Enchantment:
Since day dot, the moon has been a celestial beacon, captivating human hearts and souls. This radiant orb, Earth’s celestial companion, has symbolised femininity, intuition, and the cyclical nature of existence. In ancient cultures worldwide, the moon was revered as a deity, with goddesses like Artemis, Diana, and Selene embodying its nurturing and transformative energies. Eh, I love the moon SO much.
The Moon’s Crucial Role in Witchcraft:
Witches have always recognized the moon’s unparalleled power in their craft. Lunar phases are the very heartbeat of magical practice, offering distinct energies for spellcasting and manifestation:
- New Moon: A clean slate for beginnings and intentions.
- Waxing Moon: A time of growth and manifestation.
- Full Moon: A peak of energy and culmination, a time for thanks and celebration. Even a time to let go.
- Waning Moon: A phase for releasing and banishing.

The Solar Eclipse in Libra: A Dance of Balance and Transformation.
A Solar eclipse unfolds when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, momentarily blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on our planet. This phenomenon results from the precise alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth in a straight line, with the moon’s shadow being cast onto the Earth’s surface. There are two primary types of solar eclipses: a total solar eclipse, where the sun is completely obscured by the moon, and a partial solar eclipse, where only a portion of the sun is covered. During a total solar eclipse, the sky darkens, and the sun’s corona, a halo of superheated gas, becomes visible.
On October 14th, 2023, this eclipse occurs in the sign of Libra.
Libra, ruled by Venus, seeks harmony, balance, and justice. It invites us to find equilibrium within ourselves and our relationships, embracing change while preserving our inner harmony. Remember to research your specific birth chart placements to see how this moon may impact you.
When does the Eclipse Season End?
The Eclipse season begins on October 14th with a Solar eclipse. The eclipse season will continue until the Lunar eclipse on October 28th, 2023, which signifies the end of this powerful celestial period. During this time, embrace the opportunity for deep spiritual growth and insight, making it a potent period for magical practices and inner work.

Why Don’t We Manifest During Eclipse Season?:
Eclipse season, encompassing both solar and lunar eclipses, is a time of heightened emotions and unpredictability. This period is often considered unfavourable for manifestation and spellwork due to the intense energies at play. It can get a wee bit chaotic to work with, even for the most advanced Witches. Instead, it’s wise to focus on self-reflection, releasing what no longer serves you, and setting intentions with prudence.

How Can We Honour the Moon During the Eclipse Season?
With this eclipse taking place in Libra, we can also look into the mundane. Libra rules the skin, the kidneys and the lower back. Take yourself for a massage or give yourself a facial during the peak of the moon. Keep it slow and keep it chill during this wee moment of ‘chaos’.
When Can We Start Manifesting Again?
Ooh super keen and we love to see it! After the 28th October 2023 is when the last Eclipse occurs but I’d recommend adding a few extra days caution to prevent any ‘Shadow’ period hiccups from happening.
So there you have it, the final Eclipse Season of 2023!
