The New Moon is in Sagittarius and is also an eclipse.
Sagittarius is the truth seeker. To seek its truth it must get lost in a different country, sit with masters and gurus, debate with the highest academics, connect with God, a higher intelligence, or a path to enlightenment. As this is a south node eclipse, it is calling on us to let go of the lower forms of Sagittarius – self-righteousness, dismissing others’ beliefs, preparing what to say in your head, and not listening to what the other person is saying. Fortunately, as the sun is blocked by the moon, a moment of silence happens and listening is the result!
The Sabian symbol for this eclipse is “a widow’s past brought to light”. This speaks of unfinished business coming up so that we can move on. Maybe we see the truth of who the spouse was. In our grief he or she was perfect, but now we can say… Ya! he was a jerk, ya! She was controlling. The truth comes into the light and helps us to accept and move on. This happens, not just in relationships, but in all areas where we have experienced a loss that stops us from moving on.
This new moon eclipse has other aspects that support this idea of coming to terms with the truth. The first is that it is conjunct Mercury. Mercury helps us to seek knowledge and expand our worldview. It helps us to be curious and open to other ideas. The eclipse is also on the great attractor. The great attractor is not a planet, but a point in the heavens… it’s a black hole in the Laniakea Supercluster. The Great Attractor gets its name because, like a magnet, it draws everything in toward including the milky way, which also obstructs it. To see what’s there other frequencies like infrared are needed. This points to what is needed at this eclipse. A different frequency allows us access to the great unseen mysteries – with the eclipse currently at this point, they are flooding in… but at what pole of the magnet are we operating? Are we attracting or repelling? Seek out ways of raising your vibration to operate at the attraction pole, like meditation, sitting by the seaside, interacting with your plants, practicing gratitude, and singing. Like the door in the closet to Narnia, this may open up an entirely new world… and world view!
The new moon eclipse is also on Huya. Huya’s namesake is the Wayuu rain god (the Wayuu are indigenous people from the Venezuelan and Bolivian areas). She is associated with abundance and environmentalism. This eclipse also calls on us to view the truth of abundance and our natural world. Mother earth is considered sacred in the worldview of the Wayuu indigenous peoples. So much so that t they inspired a law…Law of the Rights of Mother Earth. The rights include the right:
- To life: It is the right to the maintenance of the integrity of life systems and natural processes which sustain them, as well as the capacities and conditions for their renewal
- To the Diversity of Life: It is the right to the preservation of the differentiation and variety of the beings that comprise Mother Earth, without being genetically altered, nor artificially modified in their structure, in such a manner that threatens their existence, functioning, and future potential
- To water: It is the right of the preservation of the quality and composition of water to sustain life systems and their protection with regards to contamination, for renewal of the life of Mother Earth and all its components
- To clean air: It is the right of the preservation of the quality and composition of air to sustain life systems and their protection with regards to contamination, for renewal of the life of Mother Earth and all its components
- To equilibrium: It is the right to maintenance or restoration of the inter-relation, interdependence, ability to complement and functionality of the components of Mother Earth, in a balanced manner for the continuation of its cycles and the renewal of its vital processes
- To restoration: It is the right to the effective and opportune restoration of life systems affected by direct or indirect human activities
- To live free of contamination: It is the right for preservation of Mother Earth and any of its components with regards to toxic and radioactive waste generated by human activities~ wikipedia.org
What else do the indigenous peoples of the world say about the abundance and the environmental needs of the earth? At this new moon eclipse, it’s time to listen.
Happy Solar Eclipse.
The Full Moon on November 19 is also a lunar eclipse. This eclipse opens the eclipse window and unleashes the changes that eclipses always do. The best approach is to respond to situations. Anything that is decided at an eclipse is a done deal… there’s no going back.
The Full Moon is at 27 degrees of Aries. The Sabian symbol for the moon is ‘a large disappointed audience’. The Sabian symbol speaks of expectations. The audience expects something that is not delivered. Maybe they were misled to think they would get one thing and got another; false advertising. Or they thought they would get more but for one reason or another, the person on the stage fell short. Perhaps something happened out of the blue – a power outage or equipment issues, a rainstorm in an outdoor arena, or an unexpected illness leaving the performer unable to deliver. It’s out of their control, but that doesn’t stop the audience from not being happy! The performer, politician, speaker… whoever it is that is in front of the audience is now called to account, to be responsible, to make good.
