solar eclipse in sagittarius

On today’s solar eclipse in Sagittarius, I am drawn to the words I shared as a baby witch for my old project Two Young Crones on the new moon in Sagittarius in 2016: 

the rules are being rewritten. how can we use this to our advantage, adapt this to our own organizing and self-care? how do we remain socially conscious in a world where the truth seems to be elusive, and down right irrelevant, disregarded, distorted, and discarded? during this new moon in sagittarius, we can see that the light that is being shone is aimed in the wrong direction. this is an opportunity to be deeply present. if one is lost and there seems to be no hope, an easy choice can be to give up, set down your light, and let come what may come. but taking the time to shine a light on that darkness to clearly see your obstacles, you also gain insight on the path to truth that will bring peace. take a pause and study the darkness face to face. do not be afraid, for you possess fire as a beacon to intuition and progression. sometimes the hard work can be in just looking… as we look deeply, we can take the time to examine where we can pinpoint our wisdom and find solid ground with which to proceed. this illumination forces us to see the dust and grime that is settled in the cracks; what debris are you clearing out that should have been tidied up a long time ago? when the rules are being re-written, are we strong enough to build healthful, progressive systems in their place?

It is fascinating how these thoughts are still so deeply relevant to this current moment. The last four years have been a practice of relentless revelation - the acute and imperative awakening to the cracks and fissures of our foundations. To deny the shadow of this moment would be to bypass the realities of the challenges and violence that we are moving through right now. And even still, there is something to be said of the fact that Sagittarius is the sign of optimism, freedom, and conviction. It is meaningful, and necessary, to apply your belief to moments of darkness. To shore up your courage to be with what is here now and illuminate the dark places with your vision, wisdom, and care. 

Take time to rest today, to dream, to imagine, to repeat your truths over and over and over in order to invite them to stay where they are needed and uplifted. Be an intentional caretaker of your revolution. ​
