We associate a Solar Eclipse with drama and indeed, the drama that we see in the sky, during a full Solar Eclipse at least, is often mirrored here on earth.
In astrology, a Solar Eclipse is something of a turning point or a crossroads. Decisions taken now will have implications which may not become apparent for some time.
A Solar Eclipse is in many ways the same as a New Moon, in that it is a conjunction between the Sun and Moon. Conversely, A Lunar Eclipse happens during a Full Moon.
However, during a Solar Eclipse, the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking its light partially or totally, and casting the Moon’s shadow onto the earth.
Because the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, this is doubly powerful astrological energy, hence its significance.
The symbolism of a Solar Eclipse is important too, with the Sun’s light being blocked before bursting back into life.
For some of us, the Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on December 4th, 2021 will bring negative shocks and drama; for others, it may even be a nice surprise. But hidden within that surprise will still be a manifestation of a call to action. Listen out for it.
In astrology, the area of the chart where the Solar Eclipse falls may experience a sudden ‘block’ or drama, the reasons for which are not clear at the time, and the repercussions of which take some time to emerge.
The role of a Solar Eclipse is often to threaten the status quo and to create shock and disorder, precisely so that we can value what we didn’t already value. There’s nothing like a shock to make you value the normal you previously took so much for granted.
Astrologically speaking, when a Solar Eclipse is in Sagittarius, it’s the values of exploration, justice, wisdom and freedom which are temporarily blocked, only then to be re-illuminated once more.
It’s up to each of us to recognize the events which threaten these values, and to decide how we will stand up against them.
Each of us has skills, principles and abilities which can improve the world; the Solar Eclipse merely directs the way.
