Tarot spread and astro-tarot forecast for the October 2023 solar eclipse and new moon in Libra

The October 2023 new moon falls in the sign of Libra. The Libra archetype is closely associated with justice and maintaining balance in social interactions and within the self. They are the true diplomats among the zodiac archetypes, and focus on fair dealings in all their relationships.
