Ready for something new? The total solar eclipse of Dec 4 is a turning point and an opportunity to redefine your path.
Eclipses often disrupt old ways of being and believing by shaking up the status quo. If you’ve reached the end of your rope in some area of life, this could be the perfect time to cut yourself free.
This solar eclipse, which occurs from Dec 3 to Dec 4 (9:29 pm – 1:37 am Pacific Time) is only visible in Antarctica, South Africa, and Australia, however the effects of the eclipse will be felt worldwide.
According to Vedic Astrology, this solar eclipse is in Jyestha, the “chief star.” This fierce nakshatra is the red-colored star of war (Antares) positioned at the heart of sidereal Scorpio.
Jyestha awakens a desire for self-respect and freedom, and bids you to make choices that better honor your highest self.

Mars in Scorpio is also known to uncovers secrets and reveal information that was previously hidden from consciousness.
