Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius – December 4, 9:43 a.m.

Saturday, December 4, 2021 it is a good time to set new intentions, plans or ideas. It’s a time to sowing and starting those actions that are really meaningful to us. It is good to be present, to project positively in accordance with the highest values of our soul and to have confidence in their realization. Whatever we begin now will be imbued with the energy of Sagittarius, a sign of hope and faith.

Even if the New Moon signifies the “seed” that we are currently planting,through the thoughts and projects we make ourselves, yet the things we have not completed in the previous cycle or emotional problems can influence for better or for worse, the new cycle. In this case, the new cycle could have as an express role the resolution of unfinished things.

The detoxification capacity of the body is maximum on the day of the New Moon.
Anyone who makes a rule of having a fasting day every time the Moon is New, will benefit from many advantages in preventing ailments.

Also this day is perfect to start a new activity such as unlearning bad habits. Many times bad habits are the outer expression of inner energies that need only a new goal to become useful and valuable for us and for other people.

The night before the New Moon is a night of divine transcendence

The night preceding this New Moon phenomenon, in our case the night from 3 to 4 December 2021, is celebrated in the oriental spiritual tradition under the name of Shiva Ratri.
If we engage in spiritual activities we can achieve exceptional results that equate to the results obtained from a year of assiduous spiritual practice.

During this astral moment, it is good to have an easy diet or even to practice Anaharin – black fasting only with water. It is wise to reduce the pace of daily activities, and to aim to orient ourselves inwards. This night is particularly effective for the practice of meditation, it giving us the opportunity to thus achieve important spiritual progress.

For this new beginning to “settle” better in our being and to fully benefit from this astrological aspect, it is advisable to realize a short meditation of about 20 minutes,in its maximum period, 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after it takes place, that is, between 09:33 and 09:53.

How we meditate:

Sitting on a chair with your back straight and your hands resting on your thighs with your palms down, we aim to completely relax our body, especially the muscles of our face.
It is necessary to feel the physical body abandoned and immobile. After we’ve done the “parking” of the body, we turn our attention inside the body, into the middle of the chest, and imagine that we’re adimensional at that level.
Throughout meditation, we aim to feel the complex influence of this astral moment,of the New Moon, when the luminaries, the Sun and the Moon participate in the “cosmic wedding”, by sharing the same zodiac degree. Now the male and the female merge into a perfect unit.

Due to the conjunction between the Sun and the Moon there is a special complementarity of yin-yang energies in nature.
If we now seek to find a perfect agreement between our will and God’s will, our consciousness will go through exceptional spiritual transformations that will lead to the acquisition of the state of harmony and inner peace.

*By the state of consciousness cultivated by different techniques Abheda Yoga, certain unfavourable astrological transits may be transcensed. Apart from these methods to be practiced systematically, it can be said that the destiny of men is written in the stars and it is relatively difficult for the ordinary man to manifest free will, independent of the influences of celestial bodies.

Specific astrological aspects

Saturday, December 4, 2021 – 09:43

– marks the moment of

Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

by the perfect conjunction between the Moon and the Sun in Sagittarius at the 12’22 degree, near the Lunar South Node at the 1:44 degree Sagittarius. It is the Dynamized xi house of this astral moment, a sector related to everything that means friends, circles or large groups of people, community, dreams and personal aspirations.

This eclipse on the Gemini – Sagittarius axis is the last eclipse in a series of eclipses on this axis of knowledge.
It ends a cycle for us. This conclusion can bring many awareness about the power of the word, of thought, of communication, but above all, of the power of faith.
In the service of which do we put our thoughts and our word?
In the service of the rational and often selfish mind, or in the service of the soul?

The lunar eclipse in Scorpio on November 19th has already opened for us another cycle on the Taurus – Scorpio axis that will last until 2023, a cycle that will require from us a concretization, a materialization of what we have acquired as knowledge during the cycle that ends now.

The New Moon is a beneficial astral moment to sooth a new seed
The South Lunar Node represents the current karmic baggage, positive and negative. The proximity between the New Moon and the South Node in Sagittarius creates what we call a Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, the significance and impact of which is much deeper. Everything we intend to start now is done on an astral background with karmic meanings,so with possible lessons, endings or endings of situations. As with any eclipse, its influence will extend over a period of 6 months.

Although the new beginnings or chances offered are strongly imprinted by the ideals of Sagittarius, it is good not to forget that the goal and the path of current evolution is given by the North Node in Gemini.

• To

  have the courage to admit that we are not the owners of the truth we have in all situations.

• Let’s stop persuading or manipulating others to change according to what we think is best for them.
• Let’s get down from the plane of abstract and philosophical ideas and use our knowledge practically.
• Let’s give up the ideas of mental or spiritual superiority and understand that everyone is unique and has its own rhythm of evolution.
• Let’s not promise more than we can offer.
• To have discernment when we share with others our knowledge respecting their degree, pace and level of understanding.

The North Node of Gemini invites us to a life full of diversity, communication and sharing with others on equal positions, as children do when they play, their goal being only the joy of the game not trying to convince anyone of anything.

What do we associate this energy of Sagittarius with?
– WITH FAITH AND HOPE, with optimism and love of life, with the desire to expand our horizon of knowledge. The overflowing enthusiasm of this sign always carries him to new adventures, new horizons, exploration, philosophy, spirituality.

The dual nature of the sign, represented by the symbol of the centaur, half human, half horse generates the 2 tendencies that coexist in its nature:

1. the animal, instinctual part pushes him towards superficiality and focus only on the pleasures of life,
2. while the human part of the sign leans towards spirituality, indicating the direction of its arrow, the arrow of aspirations.

Sagittarius reminds us of the meaning of life when we are connected and enlivened by the great ideals of our own being, and these ideals are related

to faith, expansion, personal development, knowledge, university studies, long journeys, abroad, justice and law, international trade, immigration and distance communication.

This Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius dynamizes the XI house of this astral moment

– a house of our ideals and projects for the future, of our friendships, groups or communities of people with whom we resonate, a house of humanity.

In these areas we will be offered chances of growth and development, opportunities to expand and grow through a project in which we participate, through a humanitarian cause in which we put ourselves in the service, through a friendship that opens new perspectives for us, through a dream or an aspiration that we now have the chance to put into practice. The main “resource” that we can use now is in the power of the ideal we have, in the direction we are heading towards which we are heading the “arrow of our aspirations” (Sagittarius), in the authenticity with which we follow this direction and to the extent that this ideal resonates with our soul.

Mercury in Sagittarius makes a conjunction with this Solar Eclipse which implies that the power of word and thought becomes essential,our thoughts will mark the path we walk. Because of Sagittarius, these thoughts and words need to find deeper meanings, to motivate, to support, to exalt, to be directed towards a common, collective good.

Uranus in Taurus makes an aspect of inconjunction with this Solar Eclipse.
Challenges or unexpected events come through what is close to us. We are urged to reconsider or make adjustments in certain old behaviors, attitudes or mentalities related to family, home, roots, home, past. We can feel these sudden events as something that separates us,that take us out of our comfort zone, out of our security zone, that shakes our safety of certain things. But, understanding that change is permanent in our lives, we have the chance to develop flexibility and adaptability to change. What makes the process easier for us would be to be very aware of what our higher purpose is and to cultivate the courage to go in the direction of this goal. Intuition will be of great help to us.

Saturn in Aquarius supports this eclipse coming with more maturity, ownership and responsibility regarding its own choices, behaviors and attitudes of life. He brings caution, amplifies our discernment and teaches us the extremely precious lesson of patience.

It can be a really important time of maturation in our lives.

In conclusion,

this Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius invites growth, expansion and maturation. It calls us to rekindle the fire of our aspirations and dreams, to be present in our lives, to be aware that we have a role and a purpose to fulfill in the community we are part of.

Equally, we need to gain the power to detach ourselves and let go of the past or things we cling to, to gain the flexibility to live freely but a freedom assumed,conscious and put in the service of those ideals that enliven our existence, ideals materialized by the arrow of Sagittarius that permanently targets as high as possible, to heaven and God.
