The Moon arrives in Sagittarius early this morning (4:12 AM PST), ahead of tonight’s Sagittarius New Moon (11:42 PM PST 12° Sagittarius). The need for clear information is paramount. Passions continue to build. Good intentions and strong opinions in this highly erratic atmosphere challenge us to stay flexible and employ creative, innovative solutions. We are struggling to find some common rules, limits, and guidelines that provide the structure we need to make use of the increased energy. Under tonight’s New Moon and the new lunar cycle, we will need to acknowledge our past mistakes and deal effectively with blind spots created in the past. Without clear perspective, we will find that mistakes of the past continue to slow us down, even though we may have the best of intentions for future progress.
The total solar eclipse occurs today and tomorrow in Sagittarius. This luminary aligns with Mercury and Saturn, which means that it’s a pivotal turning point for healing the past and planting seeds for the future. Think of this as a new beginning that stems from mending and resolving former issues.
The sun overtakes Mercury during this lunation, which can cause a lot of miscommunication and frustration throughout the day because we’re giving and receiving information quickly and without hearing others. The reason is that Mercury is supercharged when in Sagittarius (and not in dignity), which makes it hard to have clear, concise chats with others.
As the sun eclipses Saturn, we’re prevented from making a fiery move forward in attaining our desires. This is more of a grounding energy even though Saturn is in air sign Aquarius.
The solar eclipse is giving us the chance to build a new foundation, which might be hard. There’s a lot of pressure weighing on your shoulders at the moment that makes you want to run away and hide—virtually impossible right now.
Take some time out of your daily routine to unwind and decompress before your anxieties and worries get the better of you. As with all solar eclipses, it’s advisable that you take some time away from work and friends in an effort to recharge your batteries. You work very hard, and you could definitely use some “me” time.

DAILY ORACLE
Don’t talk yourself into diving deep into something just because you see the potential of things instead of what they really are now. The necessary work and patience involved may not be the best use of your energy.
Have you seen the potential in someone and think that if you love and support them, they will become the person who knows you love them beyond all others? Have you stepped into an opportunity that you know feels too good to be true and might not turn out the way you hope?
Now is not a time for selective, limited perception that can lead to misjudgment. Instead, this is a time for going deep and being honest about what you find as you explore the depths. Have no fear, for whatever you find below will help you love and understand yourself and others, and make better choices.
Can you sense Swan Spirit calling you to dive deep and resurface to choose again?
