Eclipse season often brings shifts in major areas of life, including our love lives. What can you expect in astrology this week?
Hello beautiful souls! We’re in the heart of eclipse season, a potent time for reflection, meditation, and strengthening your spiritual connection. There’s more to it than that.
We’re also in a waning Moon phase this week. December 2020’s astrological energy feels somewhat lighter than previous months because many retrogrades have ended. The Sun moved into the Fire sign of Sagittarius on November 21, and its presence has helped make this month feel more optimistic within the larger 2020 forecast.
Take time to ask your heart what you want and what you don’t. The six-month cycle ahead offers an opportunity to deepen connections across different types of relationships. With the Sun in outgoing, adventurous Sagittarius, December is an excellent month for new romantic possibilities.
Venus is spending its final full week in the intimate sign of Scorpio, encouraging emotional honesty and deeper bonds. At the same time, Mercury—the planet of communication—is in candid, talkative Sagittarius, which can bring adventurous conversations and a livelier exchange between partners.
Live in the moment and allow yourself to be surprised this week.
A New Moon Is Coming
As we approach the New Moon solar eclipse on Monday, December 14, use this week to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. With the new year approaching, the cleansing and healing you do now can set a healthier, clearer tone for the months ahead.
Reflect on which habits, thoughts, goals, or relationships lower your vibration. Turn inward to discover what makes you feel energized and alive, then direct your priorities accordingly when the eclipse initiates a fresh cycle.
Commit to living from the heart this week and you’ll create positive momentum that lasts.
