I decided to pull some cards for the new moon solar eclipse coming up on 12/4/21. I am using the Moon Mansion Oracle and the Spirit Animal Oracle to aid me in this reading.
The nine of wands is the tarot card associated with this transit. It’s interesting that the planetary energies of this tarot card is moon in Sagittarrius. So we have the illusive watery moon energy literally mixing with the fiery sign of Sagittarius.
On a collective level, there are some big energies transpiring with this transit. With the powerful Goddess Kali in the mix, we are sure to witness an uptake of chaotic energy. This transformation process that is happening now, is not an easy one. As a collective, we have been clamoring for change for a good while now, but this will not be without its price. Literally the notation for the Kali card is “If you fight, you will have to pay the price”. But what is the price if one does not fight? The nine of wands stands alone, indicating that he believes in his position. He is willing to stand alone to defend it. I think we are contemplating this question as a society at this time. The rights of the individual within the context of a larger societal structure.
The next card in the wands progression is the ten of wands. This is a card of too much work, burdens, responsibilities, indentured servitude. So many are working, working, working, just to keep their heads above water. The collective is still recovering from the events from 2020-2021, and now we are seeing inflation in the form of higher gas prices, food prices, higher taxes, cost of living increases, etc. Yet, wages have not kept up for the most part. We see the Nine of Wands card looking at the Butterfly Spirit as if he is holding strong, but battle weary. Sagittarius energy is known for it’s optimistic outlook. But as we progress through the tarot to the next card, the ten of wands, this is where literally see this character in the nine of wands, progresses to the point of where it is too much. He literally cannot carry the burden anymore. The natives are getting restless. Something’s got to give.
The image in my minds eye that I see is of two sides of a coin. With the sun being the coin. We have a building up of energy as the moon moves closer to the sun, then a period of darkness during the transit, and then as the moon moves through, we are shown the “flip side of the coin” so to speak. Be prepared for new information coming to light, breaking news stories, as well as people changing their opinions, saying one thing and doing another, as well as an increase in “mysterious deaths” and a rise of prominent people being targeted for standing up for their personal truth, philosophies and beliefs. There is an undercurrent of the beginnings of a change. It’s subtle now, but it’s there.
On a more individual level, it is important to rest at this time, as we see this message in the Black Moon card. This transit can be draining on sensitives. You may be feeling physically tired and/or mentally overwhelmed. We are receiving a huge download of information from the cosmos. I literally feel that the collective, depending on the spiritual elevation of the individual of course, is receiving an upgrade.
I would not necessarily recommend conducting any spells or magickal workings during this transit. As the results may end up different than what you anticipated. I equate this to attempting to continue to work on a computer, while it is in the middle of an update. You may save the file and it seems okay, only to have it be “off” in some way when you open it again, such as the spacing is different, the fonts have changed, the icons have moved, etc. Or you may discover, that the file did not save at all.
Some people may disagree with me on this of course. This is just my personal opinion. Do what feels right for you.
I feel this is also not a good time for sudden big decisions or serious talks. Seriously, wait a couple of days. You may come out on the other side of this transit with a different perspective. The sun and moon energies here have a push/pull effect. Being impetuous will not serve you well. It may leave you wondering what the heck were you thinking? See how this character on the Precipice card is heading towards Kali? Whoops! Don’t push it. Trust in the process. See how the Nine of Wands is standing still, while remaining alert? You may need to use your discernment and pick your battles wisely. You may discover it wasn’t quite such a big deal after all, after you have a nutritious meal and a good night’s sleep.
On the flip side, I feel if you have already been working on something up to this point, it will progress and/or transform naturally into a new beginning and/or opportunity. This message came through in my tarot post on Monday. This may require you to transform your perspective as was mentioned. I think it is interesting that on Monday, we had the eight of swords with her blindfold over her eyes. And here, we see the nine of wands, without any encumbrance to his vision, looking at the Butterfly Spirit card. I see this, in this context, as the building up to the solar eclipse, and then symbolically as the moon covers and then moves past the sun, this is removing the temporary blindfold that we saw in the eight of swords. So again, if you are already in the process of making a decision or change, you are literally the caterpillar in the cocoon. These energies are in already in process and will unfold naturally during this transit. The other side of this eclipse may present you with a positive opportunity, that will allow you to see for yourself just how capable and valuable you are. You emerge as the butterfly.
As we know, not everyone is aware, or what we call “awake”. However this energy will still be affecting the collective. As such, you may notice erratic behavior in some people, and we may see more of this shown in the media. It will be important for you to step back from this. Many of the media stories will be construed in a way to distract you and trigger emotions. Keep in mind, not all is what it seems. Stay alert in public places and while driving. There is a potential for injuries as well as crime during this transit. No need to be paranoid, just pay attention to your surroundings.
The physical body is a focus at this time. Work on staying physically grounded. Exercise, mundane activities and eating small nutritious meals throughout the day will be helpful. Be sure and step away from electronics for a while every day. As a collective, I feel most of our energy has been in the mental realms for the past year or so. We’ve got to get back into our bodies to balance this out. The upcoming Scorpio/Taurus transits in 2022 will highlight the area of physical health.
I hope this information was helpful to you as we approach the final solar eclipse of 2021!
