December 2019 | New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn
a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and sun, then forms a shadow on the surface of the earth. during an eclipse season, we are met with two (sometimes three) eclipses with each season lasting a little over a month and repeats one to six months later.
the energy of a solar eclipse acts as a catalyst for change - signifying beginnings and/or endings - that may require major life decisions. these changes will come unexpectedly, rapidly, and permanently so the best suggestion is to go with the flow of what’s happening for you. resistance and fighting against this energy will only bring more pain and chaos.
there has been a huge debate on twitter about whether or not manifesting (through ritual and spell work) should be forbidden or embraced during eclipse season. if you are unaware, we subconsciously manifest every day so if some tells you that you shouldn’t manifest during eclipse season, do not listen to them. the best thing you can do is listen to what your body is calling you to do. i am not one to project whether or not my opinion is accurate or inaccurate, but i personally believe that based on the energy your body feels, the current planetary transits, what you’re trying to manifest, and how you’re manifesting; eclipses can impact everyone differently. there's no good nor bad, it's just what's for you.
ima get personal real quick:
(se) jan 2011: found out i was pregnant with my first child, (se) nov 2011: started a new job, (le) apr 2014: found out i was having a girl, (le) oct 2014: quit my full time job to become an entrepreneur, (le) mar 2016: parted ways with my bestfriend of 10+ years, (se) july 2018: found out i was pregnant with a baby boy (something my husband and i manifested a month prior).
capricorn solar eclipse
the last new moon of 2019 and of this decade is transiting in capricorn at 4°; conjunct jupiter (expansion in connections/partnerships, career matters, investments, and self-growth), trine uranus (making positive changes in your life that lead you out of your comfort zone) and saturn conjunct pluto (deep purging and transformation of life structures such as old beliefs, patterns, and behaviors). these planetary transits are here to support us in getting to the root of it all and wiping the slate clean as a new foundation develops for our life goals to flourish off of. if you’ve ever wanted to start over in life, here’s the chance to push your own reset button!
what to focus on
reparent your inner child (deep healing):
this is a major focus during this capricorn eclipse. capricorn is associated with the root chakra, which stores our childhood (from programming to trauma), so you may experience the urge to remove yourself from family drama (set boundaries), rekindle connections and bonds with family members (through forgiveness), break generational curses, cut the umbilical cord (programming such as patterns, behaviors, and habits that your parents subconsciously instilled into you or projected onto you), create family traditions of your own, and release or heal wounds/trauma you’ve experienced in your childhood (such as abuse, abandonment, emotional neglect, etc).
if tension rises or you become emotionally triggered during this time, try to seek resolution from a more logical stand point (compromise) or resolve with compassion (be mindful).
redefine success + relationship with money (are you constantly in survival mode?):
the root chakra, which is the first chakra developed at birth, triggers survival, security, and stability. up until adulthood, a lot of people can become stuck in survival mode, especially if your upbringing or any generational curses conflict with you attracting financial stability, which then could cause you to manifest a lack mentality (constantly needing money or feelings of not having enough money) or become programmed in a linear way where you’re unable to acknowledge the other forms of abundance around you because you’re too focused on one outcome of what success or abundance looks like.
in example: when we think of success, we normally think of having more money or being financially stable. money is an energy - it comes to those who are in the vibrational alignment to receive it without fear (fear of failure, fear of being inadequate, fear of inability to survive - living paycheck to paycheck and nothing youre doing actually paying off).
use this time to get to the root of your money problems. ask yourself: what am i doing that’s causing me to suffer from financial stability? what skills do i have that can take me out of survival mode? what forms of abundance am i aware of and what else could be a form of abundance?
other suggestions
be receptive to change. establish a sense of stability in all areas of your life. figure out how to work smarter, not harder (conserve your energy). draw the blueprint for the life you want to live in 2020. redefine your reputation. hold yourself accountable for your choices and actions. make adjustments to your life goals (cross out what you no longer resonate with). acknowledge what you've been neglecting. make an investment into something purposeful. form boundaries. avoid focusing more on the outcome (put more focus on the process). set intentions to be more responsible with money to attract a healthy financial relationship (release what may be limiting you from receiving it). have patience. control your impulses. build with purpose. be clear and realistic about the goals you want to achieve. balance your root chakra. slow down and rest. reflect.
journal prompts:
like, i mentioned above, manifesting with ritual and spell work during an eclipse may have a different impact on everyone, but writing your goals down (be clear, specific, and practical) to organize your thoughts or plan of action is something your should at least consider doing.
how can I make use of the time i have left in 2019?
what emotional baggage have you accumulated over the last 10 years? is the weight of it becoming excessive and burdensome? (if so, release it)
what short-term goals (3-months out) and long-term goals (6-months to 1 year out) do i have in mind?
what shifts can I make that will be effective and get me where I need to be?
what fuels my ambition to help me persevere?
what karmic relations need to be completed before moving forward?
what areas of my life need to be stabilized?
what are my long-term career and life goals?
what old thought patterns are limiting me from achieving my long-term goals?
where am I investing most of my time & energy and not seeing it pay off?
