Partial solar eclipse in Libra: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around partnerships, agreements and fairness (Libra). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Libra–Aries axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 9°48′ Libra or Aries.
