I can hear it, feel it in my belly – the approaching crescendo – the final cymbal clash.
For the last eighteen months we have all been experiencing the passage of the South and North Nodes of the Moon through the signs of Sagittarius and Gemini respectively (the nodes are always in signs directly opposite each other.) The final activation of this now very sensitive area of our charts will occur at the New Moon total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius this Friday, December 3rd, at 11:43 pm PST and we will continue to feel the energy of it over the next several months. So, this climax – this denouement – is likely to be powerful, profound, and an ongoing influence in the coming months. Here is a short description of how to identify the themes of this eclipse big bang in your life:
Despite myriad theories about the deeper meaning and cosmic significance of the Nodes, the essence of their personal message for our individual lives is to alert us to behaviors and attachments that it is well past time for us to release (South Node) and behaviors and attachments it is time for us to cultivate (North Node.) When the South Node is in Sagittarius, we are asked to release dogmatic certainty, know-it-all-ness, and inflexibility of thought. The North Node in Gemini encourages curiosity, a “beginner’s mind”, and acceptance of different points of view. The area of our lives where this pressure is focused is determined by the houses in our natal charts where the signs of Sagittarius and Gemini fall. For example: the 11th house is about our friends, our tribe, and the groups or organizations we belong to. The 5th house is about our own creativity and the things that give us joy. So, if you have Sagittarius in your 11th house, then you are being asked to release the certainty and perhaps inflexibility of those peoples’ or groups’ viewpoints and expectations of you and embrace the opposite alternative, Gemini in the 5th house, by being curious about your own viewpoint and enjoying the process of finding out what you desire for yourself.
