All work and no play make Jack(ie) a dull person. Well bitches, this week there does seem to be a strong focus on work and drive towards our goals. And that’s all fine and good, but we do need balance as well. There is a lot of enthusiasm this week, and that can also lead to anxiousness, also known around these parts are “bajiggityness”. This will all work itself out naturally, but if you would like to direct this energy a bit, focus on not only what needs to be healed within you, but what role you play in “passively” healing others. I say passive because more often than not, being your authentic self can provide a real source of inspiration and healing for the people around you. What about “work” and your beliefs about it needs to be healed? Keep that in mind when you are manifesting.
Mercury is busy this week, which is part of why there is nervous energy afoot. But this moon is conjunct Mercury as well, which can be very positive. It can bring sharp and quick thinking and curiosity. Interactions with other people are emphasized. That means everyone’s favorite things: appointments and meetings and generally being busy.
Your mind is likely to be just as busy as Mercury this week. You may be worrying and fretting and feeling anxious. Physical movement will help. Focus on professional goals and make notes and vision boards if it helps. Have fun with it. This is Sagittarius. If its not fun, its not happening.
The big news this week is, again, the Eclipse. This one is the last of the Sagittarius-Gemini eclipses (until 19 years from now, anyway). This Sagittarius New Moon aspects Uranus, so the theme will be adjusting to changes and new experiences. Open-mindedness and flexibility are an important tool for the coming shifts. This new moon is optimistic, on its own (do we sense a “but”?). So focus on spirituality and aspects of your life you wish to expand (Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter). This is a good manifesting moon….even though (aha! There’s the catch!) it has some bajiggity aspects.
Uranus quincunxes this New Moon, hence the nervous energy and unexpected “joys” of Uranus. But in our favor we have Saturn sextiling the moon, offering us some grounding and logic. Later in December (Christmas Eve- Merry Fuckmas!) we have Saturn Squaring Uranus for the 3rd and last time this year. But we will talk about that fuckery later. We’ve been there, done that...and it sucks a little, but it’s fine. We will be fine! This eclipse is a mover and a shaker, in that it will offer a bit of a crisis that leads to significant growth. Chances are you’ve already felt this crisis, so there’s no need to panic. I feel this eclipse finishes up that crisis business over the next few months.
So as we move into the holiday season, remember to balance work and play. Find joy, somewhere, without judgement. If joy is the opposite of what everyone else finds joyful, so be it. You do you. Focus on your beliefs about life and work and joy and living in general. It will be increasingly important that we are grounded and have a source of inner peace as we move into 2022. Because the world isn’t getting any less messy, so all we can do is be our best selves. You never know who you will touch in this way, just by being you.

ARIES - You are likely to be feeling the tickle of holiday spirit this week, and perhaps that generosity streak you have will be lit up. Helping to plan a party or event might be a huge support to someone in your circle, because you get shit done! Your 9th house is activated by this eclipse. If you’ve been waiting to hear about a college application or some other education related decision, its likely to show up this week. In general, the top of your chart and your house of income are very active, so you can expect healthy growth in your professional/public life.
TAURUS - You’ve been going through some pretty emotional stuff for a few months now. This new moon will activate some deep feelings and desire for intimate connection. Also up for you this week (and for several weeks, actually) are financial resources and obligations like loans and taxes. Of course you owe what you owe, but I feel this is an opportunity or something coming TO you. In general, deeper commitment is on the docket for you, and its a good thing. Don’t be surprised if you get a promotion soon, or are otherwise asked to take the lead in something. This will be a big deal in your life, so congrats!
GEMINI - This eclipse could be a heart-opener for you. Due to the involvement of Uranus in all of this, I don’t think you’ll see it coming. It may be a new relationship, or a may be just a deep activation of your love. Sagittarius rules long distance and relationships with foreigners. (Don’t knock it 'til you try it!) You should also check out job opportunities now and over the next several weeks. If where you are isn’t working for you, you have a good chance for improvement in another environment. Taking a class or 2 where it may boost your career is also a good idea
CANCER - Good habits and routine are emphasized for you this week. This new moon can help you manifest a day-to-day groove that feels really good in regards to work, fulfilling financial obligations, and healthy habits. But balance is key, so be sure to get OUT of your routine on a regular basis too. A set date night with your honey or your BFF, or a monthly trip to your favorite not-too-far-away place is just what the doctor...er...planets ordered.
LEO - Your 5th house is activated this week. That often means romance, but it is also often related to your children. There’s a certain kind of “growth” that may show up for your family in the near future. I don’t necessarily mean you’re pregnant, so you can stop laughing. But one of your kids may start a committed romantic relationship. If all of that feels like poppycock, then just plan to have some fun. Manifest more joy and play in your life with the new moon. But also, if you’re not looking to be pregnant, have smart fun!
VIRGO - If anyone is ready for the holidays, it's you, with your mile long list of gifts and things to do. Try to include your family members in all of that preparation. Not only does it decrease your burden (and keep you off the martyr cross), it makes them feel good. Relationship energy feels pretty juicy around you lately. Don’t be dumbstruck if your honey surprises you this holiday season. A shake up of your routine may be really good for you, and this may come in the form of some short distance travel, or maybe a commute.
LIBRA - You may feel pulled in several directions over the next couple or few weeks. Try to keep your head on straight, because this somewhat chaotic energy will pass. Financially you are poised to do really well for the next few months and beyond. Your communication with others is highlighted this week. Make sure you are touching base regularly with your partner or kids who may want your attention but are hesitant to ask for fear of “bothering” you. Make sure you keep that door open for the ones you love to come to you if they need you.
SCORPIO - Money is on the menu, and probably on your mind. This final eclipse in Sagittarius closes a chapter for you around earned income, as well as passive income. Your home life gets a boost of security (that has been the case for months now) with whatever these opportunities are. Invitations and offers (perhaps even romantic dates) may come out of nowhere, so try to not be too scattered to pay attention this week. You may be feeling a little lonely or isolated this week, but both the feeling and the actuality of that are temporary, so don’t fret. Be open to being surprised by what life drops in your life.
SAGITTARIUS - You may be called upon to lead something soon. You’ve been nudged all year to find your authentic voice and you may feel lost and unqualified to fulfill this leadership offer. But trust me, you are qualified. Others see potential in you that you often do not, so seize the opportunity when it shows up and have faith! You are probably feeling utterly bored with your current life and routine. But rather than avoid and procrastinate, try to focus and get shit accomplished so you can move on to fun stuff.
CAPRICORN - You are likely to feel day-dreamy now. This is somewhat uncharacteristic of you, the workaholic. But as your birthday time rolls around, you secretly feel very magical and romantic about life in general. Your creative expression is looking for an outlet, so this daydreamy energy is perfect for you to explore the more artsy and fun-loving side of yourself. In fact, exercising your creativity and intuition may really help you professionally. I feel there is a step up in the cards for you, and that creative balance is something others admire about you.
AQUARIUS - This eclipse could feel very close and personal to you, as it lands in your 11th house, which rules your sign, and aspects Saturn in your 1st house. Your identity, circle of friends, and home life are all up for a big boost with this chapter-closing lunation. This is due to a fairly big shift in a positive direction for your career. Stability and self confidence will be continuing to improve. The professional growth is likely to introduce you to new people, and you may find yourself with new friends for the first time in a long while.
PISCES - There’s a significant shift happening for you professionally. This new moon/solar eclipse closes a chapter that has been opened for most of this year. Publishing is emphasized thanks to the moon aspecting Uranus in your 3rd house. You would be wise to work “alone”, in the quiet, or just not share your projects with anyone outside your tight inner circle. Secret projects are favored over projects with many hands. Your work may also bring balance to you personally. As you write or plan, you could unlock some things that have been stuck for you.
