New Moon and Solar Eclipse - Dec. 3-4, 2021 - How Will it Affect You?
Tap into your Astrology Chart
This New Moon and Solar Eclipse is unlike most because it's the ending of a major cycle that began May 2020 that started the process of letting go of people (including groups) and of activities that were no longer “working for you”. No doubt you have engaged in saying goodbye to a number of folks and projects – and are now in final stages of letting go of the last remnants of incompatible people and certain pursuits.
Wait a minute – aren’t New Moons supposed to be a great time to set intentions and start new pursuits towards fulfillment?
Yes!
So, this New Moon is a mixed bag of both letting go and setting new intentions, and the two do go hand in hand, even if they seem to be at odds with each other.
While the focus may be on the Sun and Moon during this eclipse, two other planets play a major role in this process of letting go and starting new. They are the freedom seeking Jupiter in Aquarius – that rules Sagittarius (where the Sun is in now until December 21, 2021), and the fiery warrior Mars at home in the sign of Scorpio (ruled by Mars) and making a square aspect to Jupiter that began late November and continues through Dec. 12.
This square aspect brings a challenge to our process of doing a dance of letting go and starting new – BIG TIME! It’s similar to this example of when you are running out the door to do something enjoyable, and your phone rings and it’s work telling you that you have to drop what you are doing and take care of something urgent. You may not see it as urgent – but they do! Your challenge will be do adjust and postpone the timing to take care of business – and then you can get back on track. It’s an annoyance, but nothing you can’t handle. One thing is for sure – you can’t ignore it!
