solar eclipse in sagittarius
Saturday at 2:43 am, the Moon will pass between the Sun & the Earth, blessing us with a New Moon /Solar Eclipse at 12 degrees Sagittarius.
This is the last eclipse on the Gemini- Sagittarius axis, which began June 5th 2020- it’s a solar eclipse, indicating a beginning…personally, I’m feeling the energy of endings very acutely these days, as 2021 draws to a close. Of course, every ending is also a beginning…
Eclipses bring BIG emotions; the hidden erupts volcanically; we are forced to deal with the things we hoped we could avoid, and make choices.
Since it’s in Sagittarius, this eclipse asks us to reckon with our need for freedom…liberty to be ruthlessly individual, to chart our own zany course, to explore the grass that seems so much greener “over there”…to sow our oats
Your life philosophy is up for review: what are the choices that have brought you here?
That’s what we call karma- the actions of thought, word & deed that have brought you to the current circumstances in your life.
You might release a habit, an approach, a job, a relationship…because you realize it’s trapped you in a pattern of self-sabotage or deluded comfort that you have outgrown.
Sagittarius energy wants us to embrace our own personal truth & sense of adventure…spiritually, philosophically, morally. But that also means taking a risk for the sake of your own growth and development. As humans, we are risk-averse, we cling to old ways of thinking & acting. But when we lose our ability to embrace potential failure, we miss so many discoveries that life has to offer. And Sagittarius is all about learning from experience. I like to think of Sagittarius as ruthlessly American: the “show me” state…but mostly “live free or die”.
Since Mercury is also in Sagi, our mind, logic & communication are emphasized. Our personal philosophies get updated; make the choice to be expansive and gather new information…rather than staying narrow or closed-minded.
Commit to exploring the uncharted territory in your own life- the promised land is on the other side of our fear.
Today the Moon is Balsamic…just a tiny sliver is visible…we go within, process our learnings, and prepare for the journey ahead. Gather your arrows and prepare to take aim.
