Uncomfortable truths may come to light with the Sagittarius New Moon Solar Eclipse that takes place in the very early hours of December 4th. As the sun and moon join up in the sign of the philosopher, we may ask ourselves tough questions. Eclipses often bring something to light or shed a light on an area that had gone unseen previously. This is an excellent time to initiate change in the area of your chart ruled by Sagittarius because a solar eclipses new moon is 10 times as powerful as a standard new moon.
Mercury is still in close proximity to this lunation and most likely will feature in the revelation in some way. Leading up to the eclipse we may let go of an old way of thinking in order to embrace a new more expansive mind set. This is a good time to pick up a course of study, learn a skill, or travel abroad. Venus and Pluto are almost conjunct in this chart as well which could signal a relationship intensifying or a new relationship with powerful dynamics. The sun and moon are also quincunx Uranus, which could cause an uncomfortable feeling or frustration around this new moon.
A new moon in Sagittarius wants to explore and expand. Sagittarius is a mutable sign, meaning change and transformation are where it thrives. Philosophy, exploring foreign cultures and customs, world travel, and higher education are all ruled by Sagittarius, a sign that enjoys adventures and does not like to be pinned down or boxed in. What adventure will you embark on with this new moon? What would you like to learn more about? Where will you explore?
This total solar eclipse is only visible across Antarctica, although people living in the southern most parts of South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand will see a partial eclipse according to earthsky.org. The new moon is exact at 2:43 am EST in the early hours of December 4th.
