The Sagittarius New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse. Solar Eclipses open a doorway of insight- like a dream that seems crystal clear in the moment, but then we awake with only a fragment of clarity. The trick is to use the emotional charge from that “fragment” as a pulse to guide you forward. In Sagittarius, it’s about a new beginning in travel, litigation, education. Is there something you’ve always wanted to study? Is it time to go back to school for a new career? Is there a legal matter or contract that is ready to be considered? What is your truth? What is your “must do” exploration?
The eclipse occurs at 1:10 am ET at 2’ Sagittarius 37”. Keep a notepad by your bed in case you awaken. You can jot down some thoughts, then go to sleep with confidence that if it has any meaning, you can look at it in the morning. The Sabian Symbol is “Two men playing chess”, which reminds me of the movie, The Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman. It must be the Swedish in me, because I love his films. That one is full of allegory and images that have stayed with me since the first time I saw it. But I digress. The “two men playing chess” in the film, are actually Death and a disillusioned knight returning from the Crusades.
This intrigues me because Pluto is in Capricorn and Pluto symbolizes Death and Transformation. When Pluto was in Sagittarius, wars and killing was justified “in the name of God”. Since 2008, although that’s still going on, Capricorn’s realm of business, finance and “who’s in charge”, has changed the focus. It’s hard to sanction wars when no one knows who’s going to pick up the tab. Bergman’s film about a knight from the Crusades has great relevance.
When you invite in the energy of this New Moon, bring in your “lost saints”. These are the beliefs you’ve outgrown or discarded, in contrast to the truth that burns within you. Realize that not all those beliefs are necessarily false, but that it’s evaluation time. What is essential, it to recognize what matters most to you and get in synch with that. Open yourself up to what you must carve out time for and set out to do it as though this is your last chance. Do it with the knowledge that you are part of the Universal Spirit, the “I Am” force, and with that as your essence, everything is possible.
