The month of December begins astrologically-speaking late evening of the 3rd or early morning of the 4th, with a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Sagittarius, corresponding to your career sector. This brings your focus to your outer world statement and performance, for a significant fresh start in this area of life, which also indicates how you manifest in the world in general, how you do what you do. The emphasis of this important lunation brings an awareness of the deeper changes occurring regarding your family participation and also brings fresh energy for key relationships in your life. This eclipse is actually the last one of a series of eclipses that occurred on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis since the beginning of 2020.
