Your New Moon Total Solar Eclipse In Sagittarius Horoscope & Mantra, According To Your Zodiac Sign
The undeniable tensions surrounding eclipse season are hardly ever subtle, but it’s important to recognize the magnitude, and general potency of this celestial phenomenon. Can you feel it? Sit with your body; acknowledge the energy within, and all around you. Your higher self is calling you towards the light, and you’re just in time for the new age. If you’re reading this in-between eclipses, (namely, the lunar eclipse in Gemini on Nov. 30 and the new moon total solar eclipse on Dec. 14) you have officially entered the eclipse gateway. This is a sacred portal, but it’s up to you to walk towards the divine vibration of the highest light. Surrender. Keep moving forward. Trust the cosmos. You are about to let go of something in order to create space for the new.
Have no fear. If you’re emotionally drained, or perhaps more lethargic than usual, take a moment to go inward and reflect. With a new moon total solar eclipse approaching on December 14, this is an opportunity for you to prepare for the new. What did you let go of during the lunar eclipse on November 30? Do you feel lighter? Is it easier to breathe? This is your chance to fill the spaces in your life with positive vibration, and higher consciousness. Solar eclipses are magnets as they attract new life, and energetic forces leading you towards your soul’s destiny. Know that the universe is guiding, and supporting you on your journey forward. Isn’t it such a blessing to know that you’re supported through and through? You are made of stars—it’s that simple.
Eclipses come in pairs, and though this is the third of the Gemini-Sagittarius eclipse series, it’s the second eclipse occurring this season, and the last eclipse of the year. The first eclipse of this series—igniting the astrological axis of knowledge—was a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on June 5. Think back to this time of year, and reflect on the Gemini-Sagittarius themes that occurred around the same time. For more context, check which astrological houses belong to Gemini-Sagittarius in your birth chart; this is where your eclipse story is beginning to unfold, and will continue to do so all throughout 2021. Eclipses have a six-month impact, whether it be before or after. However, given the upcoming eclipse’s proximity to winter solstice, and the Great Conjunction, there’s no denying the effects of this cosmic event.
As you may remember, new moons bring new beginnings, but the new moon’s innate fertility is naturally emphasized during a solar eclipse. More importantly, and in addition to igniting the Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius, December’s eclipse will be a total solar eclipse. This occurs when the new moon comes between the sun and the Earth, casting the darkest part of its shadow (the umbra) on Earth. The symbolism behind this astrological event speaks volumes, and for a number of reasons. Firstly, a total eclipse speaks to the dance between the light and the dark. Essentially, this means it’s time for us to come face-to-face with both the divine light, and the shadow, personally and collectively speaking. Happening at exactly 11:16 a.m. EST, this solar eclipse encourages you to bring meaning to your life.
If you don’t believe in reincarnation, then you won’t understand the divine frequency emanating from Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius. Godly and larger-than-life itself, the celestial energy of this mutable fire sign revolves around the infinite possibilities that exist within our limitless universe. Depicted by the symbol of the archer, aiming its bow and arrow towards a higher power and divine truth, Sagittarius’ unquenching thirst for wisdom reminds you to have faith in your individual freedom, and in the ebb and flow of life itself. What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of YOUR life? The upcoming solar eclipse will occur just a couple of days before Jupiter (Sagittarius’ planetary ruler) joins forces with Saturn in Aquarius for the Great Conjunction, followed by the winter solstice—the first day of Capricorn season—on December 21st.
Ironically enough, this is when we honor the ending of the darker half of the year, and the return of the light, which very much coincides with the new era we’re stepping into. Having said that, the Age of Aquarius has everything to do with collective consciousness, (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts) and the upcoming eclipse is here to shed light on the wholeness that lies beyond duality, not to mention the racial and religious segregation that exists all around us. Mystical and all-encompassing, this eclipse is a wake-up call to humanity—an opportunity to come back to source. Despite the inevitable boundary between the light and the dark, it’s time to come back to where it all began. Release the need to compartmentalize. We are one with the cosmos.
This vibrant lunation is asking us to integrate both collective and individual dualities, with all that is. Remember who you are, and where you came from. Open your heart to the beauty and unconditional love that exists in interconnectedness. Come back to the place where there’s no such thing as race, gender, or religion—the foundation of who we are is greater than you can possibly imagine. Honor your truth and your divinity. Sitting in a conjunction with Mercury and the South Node in Sagittarius, this solar eclipse invites you to let go of the thoughts forging your individual truth—it’s transcending feelings of uncertainty and ambivalence. Hold space for the truth behind negative thoughts; only you get to decide what you believe is true.
Neptune’s square to the sun, moon, and lunar nodes, will help dissolve and transcend beliefs revolving around separation, and compartmentalization. It will inspire us to step into our mystical powers and cosmic roots, individually and collectively. What if I told you that the negative fog hovering over your mind is just an illusion? You’re the only thing standing in the way of your power; don’t allow yourself to become consumed by your analytical mindset. The new beginning followed by this total solar eclipse will reunite you with your higher self. Your deepest truth, living at the very core of your being, is the only validation you’ll ever need. Trust it.

This new moon solar eclipse will ignite your ambitious tenth house or career, prestige, and contribution in the world, all the while facing off with elusive Neptune in your sign. Just because you're a chameleon soul doesn't mean you're incapable of discovering your unique niche, and craft.
