ECLIPSES in November and December 2020
Two eclipses will be occurring in Gemini and Sagittarius. Look for planets and houses with these signs. The theme that these planets and houses represent will become active during this period.
The first eclipse on November 30 is a Lunar Eclipse taking place in the sign of Sagittarius and Gemini. The second Eclipse is a Solar Eclipse on December 14 and takes place in Sagittarius. The ancients believed that during an eclipse,” the mighty will fall". They bring endings and beginnings-- births and deaths. The energy from an eclipse can last up to six months and also become active a month before the actual eclipse.
The traditional belief is that rulers are born or die at the time of an eclipse. President Trump* was born on a Lunar Eclipse in 1946, Prince William was born on a Solar Eclipse in 1982 and Princess Diana died on a Solar Eclipse in 1997. People born on an eclipse have a light that shines out to others and they tend to be popular or important people.

On a Lunar Eclipse, something will end and on a Solar Eclipse, something will begin. A Lunar Eclipse is an opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially conditioned patterns of thought and behavior that stand in the way of self-realization.
This eclipse affects two signs: Sagittarius and Gemini. This eclipse rules the mind, foreign travel, belief, and Issues of freedom, truth, and justice.
A Lunar Eclipse can make us more aware of our patterns, and our unconscious motivations. This period of time can bring up old memories and feelings. Full moon eclipses can bring things to completion that you have been working on. The Sun opposite the Moon lights up the Moon and brings previously unexamined areas of your life into awareness. Repressed energies emerge for confrontation and resolution. Pay attention to your dreams. Lunar Eclipses are more emotional than Solar Eclipses. Lunar Eclipses shine a light on things we weren’t aware of.
Solar Eclipse on December 14 at 23 Sagittarius

Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day to day functioning; they are the crisis that seems to come out of nowhere and that suddenly demands all of our conscious attention and focus. They tend to stir things up on a physical and conscious level much more than Lunar Eclipses.
A Solar Eclipse is a powerful new moon so make plans for the future. Set your intentions during this eclipse around Sagittarius themes – travel, freedom, optimism, humor, and generosity. The 6 months following this eclipse is an ideal time to make a fresh start in all of these Sagittarian areas.
How will these eclipses affect you?
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following eclipses will have a major impact on you.
Eclipses are contrary to the status quo. If impacted by one of these eclipses, your life will not run on the same track it has been on. But that can be a good thing. Some view eclipses as release and renewal points. If your birthday falls on or is close to the dates of an eclipse your life will change dramatically in the months and years ahead.
Eclipses repeat every 19 years. We had solar and lunar eclipses at the same points In November and December of 2001. Look back to what happened then. This will continue a theme that was playing out at that time. But remember, sometimes eclipses get triggered after they occur so events can come in after the eclipse especially within 6 months after the event.
An eclipse tends to emphasize matters related to the house it falls in on your natal chart and what planets it conjuncts or opposes. The areas ruled by the houses or planets will demand more energy and time from you, at least until the next eclipse in May and June of 2021. Eclipses open doors and invite you to come in, illuminating and stimulating areas of your life that need your attention.
Remember that planetary energies are archetypal and archetypes can be expressed in many different ways. It’s really based on your consciousness and how you decide to work with these energies.
The Lunar Eclipse of Nov 30, 2020 at 8 degrees of Sagittarius/Gemini will affect you if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or Mars) or the ascendant at 6 to 10 degrees of Sagittarius or Gemini. Also, look at your natal chart for the 2 houses that hold 6 to 10 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini. This eclipse will stir up events related to those houses.
The Solar Eclipse on December 14 at 23 degrees of Sagittarius will affect you if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Sagittarius. Also, look at your natal chart for the house that contacts 21 to 25 degrees of Sagittarius. It will mean the end of one set of circumstances and the beginning of another. Let go!
