Tarot Scopes for the Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius
A single card reading for the total Solar Eclipse, at 23˚ Sagittarius, on December 14th 2020, depicting what lesson is available for you during this powerful lunation.
Be sure to read for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign!
Aries - Four of Swords
Aries, as the fiery first sign of the zodiac, your natural temperament leads you to always be moving ahead. You are a great initiator, which, with Mars as your ruler, is really no surprise. However, during this Solar Eclipse, the cards and the Universe are asking you to momentarily press pause from your outward action, in order to refocus your energy within. You have no doubt a great many number of ideas, backed by an intense passion for bringing them into fruition, but now is the time to sit and find stillness, in order to listen to your inner guidance as to which of your dreams is currently right to pursue and in which manner. Ask yourself what truly speaks to your soul, touches your heart, calls out to you. Post-lunation, you might discover your path a little clearer and potentially a little different.
Taurus - Justice
Taurus, this Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius is highlighting for you the need to be conscious of your actions and intentions. Sagittarius is the ultimate truth seeker, but what this sign teachers us most is the importance of honourability. To only do good deeds without good intentions, is not honourable. Often times, when we do things which are out of alignment with right intention, our motives are borne of fear, hurt, or insecurity. Learning to be truthful to ourselves about the reasoning behind our behaviour is the first step to changing it. How can we be honest with others, if we cannot be honest with ourselves? Use this lunation to shed light on what needs a karmic rebalance in your own head, heart, and life.
Gemini - Three of Swords
Gemini, as a sign ruled by Mercury, there is a tendency to become more focused on the confines of your head, than your heart. Often using your analytical prowess to work through life’s problems and make sense of them. Unfortunately, you are still inhabiting a human encasement, which comes equipped with a myriad of emotions, some of which you no doubt prefer to skirt around, save the discomfort of facing. However, during this lunation, the cards, along with the Universe, are asking you to stop avoiding the challenging emotions of your past and present and finally allow yourself to FEEL. It’s okay to acknowledge the hurt. In fact, it’s rather imperative in order to heal from it. So, let yourself do some deep healing during this Solar Eclipse, that way you can cease from circumnavigating it and come out genuinely lighter.
Cancer - Seven of Pentacles
Cancer, your sign is inherently connected to the base of the chart and the 4th House. As such, you are representative of the foundation of life. In order to create a solid base upon which to build, you need security and stability. This is often sought out in the material world through your monetary gains, societal success, and committed personal relationships. You have the perseverance to keep at something, because whatever it is, even on a sub-conscious level, you require its fulfilment in order to provide you with a sense of safety. The truth of the matter however, is that only you, dear crab, can provide that to yourself. Because, whilst external forces are out of your control, your internal structures are yours to command. So, take this lunation period to appreciate all that you have achieved in the material world and then refocus your attention on how you can achieve internal stability.
Leo - Ten of Cups
Dear Leo, with the Sun as your ruler and the 5th House as your home, you are imbued with the need to love. Yet, how often in the past have you felt disheartened in matters of the heart? The more disappointments and heartaches that you suffer, the more disbelieving you likely become, that love, in its truest, most harmonic form, is possible. You may even have internalised others inability to give love, as your right not to receive it. This lunation period however, is asking that you stop and sift through fact from fiction, when it comes to what you deserve. Work on developing the ability to open up again to the possibility that divine partnership is your birthright, but know that it can only come to you once you have a positive and aligned relationship with yourself. Nothing is beyond your reach Leo, lest you believe it so.
Virgo - Knight of Pentacles
Virgo, with your home being that of the 6th House - which deals in matters of service and daily routines - along with Mercury acting as your natal ruler, you’re not shy when it comes to matters of productivity, or, I expect, a checklist. If there’s something to be done, you’ll be the first in line, just be sure to check in with yourself that you’re not just doing in order to avoid being. The perfectionist nature of Virgo can often play out in a somewhat self-defeatist manner, whereby you hold yourself to such a high standard, that the ends do not always justify the means. Allow yourself, during this lunation, to trust that what you do is just as valuable as who you are. You don’t have anything to prove, not even to yourself. Let what you put into this world come from a place of enjoyment, rather than a place of forced achievement.
Libra - Eight of Pentacles
Libra, it’s been a wild year and one that might have changed your perspective on many things, including certain aspects of your life and where it’s going. As the road ahead slowly starts to change and formulate in front of you, it’s important to recognise that you are the master of your own destiny. You have choices in life, even if they are not always as desirable as you’d hope. Understand that your life is taking on a new shape and form, which is requiring that you yourself change a little too. The cards and the Universe are asking, that during this lunation, you take the time to hone in on your current aims, desires, and goals and commit to their development, whatever they may be. If you discover that they’re at odds with what you’ve been previously working on, that’s okay; remember that it’s never too late to make a change and do things differently.
Scorpio - Five of Swords
Scorpio, it is often said that pride comes before a fall and that proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. With your inherent secretive and sensitive nature, it is only natural during conflict for you to protect yourself with a sharp word or two, or to entirely shut down and shut out the people who hurt you. The issue is, that when we deal with sorrow by avoiding it, it doesn’t simply go away, it merely gets stored in the dark crevices of our hearts and minds. In fact, your home of the 8th House deals in exactly this: secrets and wounding. This lunation is asking that you move past your own stubborn wounded pride and learn to get honest with both yourself and others about what hurts. It takes courage to be vulnerable, but we can’t heal what we don’t acknowledge.
Sagittarius - King of Cups
Sagittarius, this Solar Eclipse will be especially prominent for you, as it occurs in your sign. Eclipses are powerful portals for transformation, change, growth, and deep revelations. The effect that this will have on you may be intensely felt, not just on the day itself, but also in the lead up to it and in the aftermath of it. The main significance of this lunation period for you though is to challenge you, in regards to your self-mastery. When the surrounding waters are choppy and unpredictable, how well can you deal with the inner storm? Learning to find your internal harmony is key for you during this period. Let what needs to be witnessed be seen. What needs digesting be processed. What must be said, expressed. This is your opportunity to get right with yourself, your needs, your emotions, your desires, your pain, because this Eclipse is going to pull at the seams, so you best make sure they’re sown well.
Capricorn - Five of Wands
Oh Capricorn, whilst it is your inherent nature to be the authoritative forerunner on all matters, you must learn to accept that you are not alone in this journey we call life. There are others on this path who approach matters differently and it is not a case of right or wrong, or better or worse, but merely the acknowledgement that we all do things in our own style and way. It is our individuality which adds value to the whole. Your lesson, should you choose to accept it, is to understand that life is not a competition, it’s a collaboration. That whilst it is inherent in you to want to succeed and achieve, you can do so by simply being the most YOU that you can and not by trying to be the best. This lunation period is asking you to question what it would be like to feel so secure within yourself and what it is that you do, that you no longer feel that what other people do is a threat.
Aquarius - Eight of Cups
Aquarius, sometimes in life you have to accept that what you want and what you need are at odds. Whilst it can be painful to walk away from things which you love, but which you know in your heart are not aligned, you must do so in order to honour your truths. When we have the faith to remove something we’ve outgrown from our lives, we make space for something new to come in. This process of change can be challenging, especially if the thing we’re letting go of is an outdated pattern or belief. Regardless of what it is, this lunation is asking that you have the courage to walk away from anything which isn’t serving you in this present moment, in the belief that something more fulfilling is to come. Remember that your heart cannot be filled with love, if it is filled with sorrow. And your purse refilled unless it emptied. Don’t hold onto the old, in fear of never having new.
Pisces - The Six of Wands
Pisces, with dreamy, watery Neptune as your natal ruler, often times, you can be finely tuned to the needs of others, but fail to activate your connection to yourself. Meaning, that you have the tendency to give out until you are depleted, simply because you haven’t been taking stock. It’s one thing to be supportive of others, but don’t make a martyr of yourself in the process. During this lunation period, the cards and the Universe are asking you to redirect your focus back on yourself. What are YOUR needs? YOUR dreams? YOUR desires? Your natal home of the 12th House is about the subconscious, but now it’s time to get real with yourself and everyone around you by dragging things out into the light of your consciousness. So utilise this opportunity to take ownership of who you are, your abilities, and what YOU want out of life.
