A lot of planets are about to gather in Sagittarius ♐.
Mars is already there.
On Dec 16, the Sun enters Sagittarius.
On Dec 20, there's a New Moon @ 4° Sagittarius in Mula nakshatra.
The same day, Venus also enters Sagittarius.
By Dec 29, Mercury joins the crowd too.
🧵:
They all cross a gandanta point and move into Mula, the roots.
Gandanta is a knot. A sensitive junction between water and fire.
When planets pass through it, emotions that were floating around without form suddenly demand action or truth.
What was vague becomes unavoidable.
So this week may feel edgy for many. Sudden clarity. Sudden discomfort. A sense that something you were emotionally attached to no longer holds up once you question it.
Mula does not work on the surface. It goes straight to the root.
When a planet is conjunct the Sun, it shows the urge to live through that planet's energy.
But if it gets too close it becomes combust, turning purpose into pressure. Combustion feels as if the Sun swallowed it, and the planet loses its independent light and voice.
Explanation:
Mercury conjunct Sun
Indicates: identity shaped by words, ideas, communication.
If too close (combust): overthinking, restless speech, mind burned out by ego, always needing to be "right."
Venus conjunct Sun
Indicates: identity shaped by love, beauty, desire for harmony.
If too close (combust): relationships become ego-validation, love burns out quickly, self-worth hinges on approval.
when: September 7
where: 21° Aquarius ♒
(purva bhadrapada)
Moon will be conjunct Rahu, opposite Sun-Mercury-Ketu, and trine to Jupiter.
How can you honor your unique identity (Leo) while also contributing to the greater good (Aquarius)?
🧵:
Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. This is a purifying energy, like a sacred fire that burns away what is old, decayed, and no longer necessary.
This eclipse is designed to help you release outdated beliefs or mindsets.
Aquarius is the sign of the collective, humanity, and social reform. An eclipse here brings to a head the tension between your need for personal freedom and your role within a community.
This is a time to confront where you may be compromising your authentic self to fit in.
The sign that's in the 8th house from yours reveals your shadow self, the side you hide, yet the one that pushes you into transformation.
Check it on 3 levels:
Rising: how it plays out in material life
Moon: how it stirs your emotions
Sun: how it shapes your soul's evolution
Some examples:
Shadow of Taurus 👉 Sagittarius
Taurus appears steady and practical, but deep down they crave wild freedom, rebellion, and expansion. They may cling to what's safe but deep down they know growth comes when they risk the leap. Their hidden Sagittarius side.
Astrology's cheat code: the opposite house holds the key.
Want a partner (7th house)?
Build your 1st house energy:
Identity, boundaries, self respect. Clean up how you speak about yourself, how you dress, how you treat your body. People meet the standard you set for you.
Want a stronger sense of self
(1st house)? Use the 7th House:
Relationships are mirrors. Notice what you admire or resent in others. Practice negotiation, repair, honest feedback. Your reflection shapes your identity.
Read each pair as a loop.
2nd and 8th house
Want stable money and self worth (2nd House)? Work the 8th.
Learn investing, compounding, insurance, taxes, debt. Understand shared resources and power dynamics. Know where risk is, and why you take it.
Even though this Sun & Moon conjunction will be in the same sign as Ketu, it won't be a solar eclipse because they will be more than 18° apart.
Despite not being an eclipse, this new moon is powerful.
🧵:
Magha is the throne of our ancestors. Every time the Sun and Moon meet here, it stirs the memory of our lineage.. both the blessings you carry and the weight that was never fully laid to rest.
With Ketu already here it's a deep dive into your legacy. Focus on your roots.
This is a powerful preparation for what's to come.
Think of this one month (until the solar eclipse on September 21) as a time to clear your energy, set strong intentions, and build your inner foundation. The work you do now will determine how you navigate the eclipse.
