This New Moon Eclipse (tomorrow, December 14th at 11:15 am EST) is in the sign of Sagittarius. It's been an intense and challenging year for so many of us, and this Moon feels to me, a little, like the light at the end of the tunnel.
Sagittarius represents open-mindedness, integrity, justice, truth, abundance, expansion, inspiration, freedom, and more. Eclipses can bring significant beginnings and endings and they can be intense. On the other hand, eclipses can pass without you even noticing. It depends on what is going on in your life (and in your Natal Chart).
The New Moon is always an opportunity to become quiet and reflective. Contemplate (quietly) what you want to work on going forward (a new project or field of study, for example), or simply take time to get in tune again with your inner self and find inspiration.
I hiked Bear Mountain a couple of days ago and the haze, as you can see in the photo, was thick - the image of the swans floating by struck me as both beautiful and eerie. I felt strange that day - my brain, like my environment, was cloudy and unfocused. I hadn't slept well the night before, but judging by the way I felt you would think I hadn't slept in a week. When I reached the top of the mountain I couldn't see
anything - the normally expansive view was blocked by fog. The cool air felt nice against my skin and I sat on a big rock for a few minutes staring at the blurry horizon, feeling disoriented.
That morning I had been to the cemetery, for the first time, where my mom was buried in October. It was quiet and peaceful and surreal. After months of being inside a crisis, watching her become sicker and weaker, I was now, with my aunt and cousin, placing a wreath on her grave. She is no longer suffering but she is just ... gone.
And, yet, she is with me - bringing me closer to family and friends and inspiring me to live life more fully. This is the energy of Sagittarius - it is bright and far-reaching and helps you to see pieces of the picture that weren't visible before - to experience the freedom that comes along with this new panoramic view.
The year ahead will not be easy, I am afraid, but Sagittarius energy can give us a new sense of purpose or freedom. In line with this, I have started a virtual shop on Etsy for my written/typed Astrology Readings. There are a range of Readings (and prices)
and these make excellent and unique gifts. A few of them are great for children/insightful for parents (if you log onto the site you can read why).
Over the next weeks, I will be adding some yoga videos to my Youtube channel as well. If you have any special requests, please EMAIL me.
Here's to finding your way through the fog. :)
