The power of two! The annual Libra new moon arrives today, and it also happens to be a supercharged solar eclipse. A brewing connection could turn official quite rapidly, or you might get an exciting offer that comes seemingly out of left field. Eclipses are known for brewing up the unexpected, Aries. And while you’re famously independent, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the power of a partnership with a true and respectful equal. Let this eclipse catalyze your commitment and bring you a deeply rewarding companion for life, business or love!

The truth shall set you free! Today’s new moon—a bold solar eclipse— in your honest-to-a-fault ninth house brings any suppressed feelings and thoughts to the surface.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday October 2
Plumb the depths, Pisces. With the year’s only Libra new moon, a trailblazing solar eclipse, activating your intimate eighth house, you’ll crave soul-to-soul bonding. Taking an emotional risk today could solidify a relationship that will last for the long haul. If you lack intimacy in your life, start developing it. Your challenge is to resist that instinct to bolt for the door. People aren’t going to open their hearts if they can’t count on you to stay put. Push through the uncomfortable stuff that comes up as you learn about each other… the good, the bad and the ugly. A joint financial venture could also spark up at this new moon. Take your time and explore.
