The solar eclipse on December 4, 2021 at 2:41 AM EST has one main message: Think before you speak, and speak your truth. This solar eclipse—which is also a New Moon, FYI—will be in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, which is known for being brash, blunt, and absolutely wild.

The reality of life is there’s no unspeaking words once they’ve been released from your mouth. And Sagittarius is it is no stranger to coming off as obnoxious and insensitive. Magnifying the potential to cross the line, the Sun and Moon will be conjunct (an astrological term meaning they're close together in the same zodiac sign) Mercury, the planet of communication, as well as the South Node of Destiny. They'll also form a trine (aka a roughly 120 degrees angle) with Chiron, the asteroid that symbolizes the strengths created from our deepest wounds. What all of that means is we have the potential to lash out or speak from a place of insecurity and hurt.

Free advice: Don't convince yourself that you're just “telling it like it is,” when in reality you're simply being cruel. Mercury is a trickster, and right now, you're capable of manifesting enemies, grudges, and hurt feelings. The key to this transit is being willing to think more and speak less. You never know when you’re actually misunderstanding a person or a situation!

Read your solar eclipse/New Moon in Sagittarius horoscope:

Aries

Just because you feel like an expert doesn’t mean you are one, Aries! You might be talking out your mouth and the words you’re expressing may not make any sense. Be careful with how you choose to describe and present yourself. Chances are you need to check your self-expression.

Taurus

Why are you switching up the recipe when you’ve already seasoned the meal well? You may be itching to change something up and throw your own twist into the mix. Don’t do that—seriously, you could mess up a very good thing. The transformation necessary will happen on the universe’s watch. All you have to do is be clear about what you want.

Gemini

How about you don’t try to force a relationship? The universe is actually calling for you to invest your energy into yourself as opposed to worrying about partnerships—and yes, this includes your close friends. You need some tender love and care right now. Trust that the universe will bring a relationship to you when you’re ready.

Cancer

You’re probably overcommitting and spreading yourself a little too thin, so please develop some boundaries before you exhaust yourself! Opportunities are abundant, and it can feel tempting to want to take everything that comes your way. You’re only one person, so it’s best to be careful about where you dedicate your time.

Leo

As much as romance is calling you, it’s probably best to ignore the call. You’re going to be a hot commodity during Sagittarius season—it’ll seem like people are breaking their necks just to check you out. Don’t worry about them and focus on your own goals. There’s nothing sexier than a person who’s accomplished!

Virgo

Jeez, you might have every desire to stay at home, and trust me, I understand. Who’s trying to go out during a modern-day mini-plague anyway? Even if you’re not exactly leaving your home, the stars are calling for you to put your energy towards your career. Looks like you don’t need as much family as you previously thought!

Libra

How about you keep your cool, because it’s very possible that someone close to you is going to push your buttons. It’s those who really know us who are able to set our minds aflame. Try to relax and don’t let people get to you. Remember, you need not entertain fools!

Scorpio

You can’t take it with you, Scorpio. The universe is calling for you to release the tight grip that you have on your way of living. This will push you out your comfort zone, which is exactly what is supposed to happen. It can be hard to let go and have faith, but it’s in your best interest to do so!

Sagittarius

Wow, it’s like the universe wants you to take your mouth and to shut it. This is going to be an extremely humbly Full Moon for you, Sagittarius. Turns out you are capable of being wrong! Your ability to let those who love you show their care by taking the lead will be your saving grace.

Capricorn

You need to get out of your head and consider that your intuition might be talking you out of what you need to do. It’s really easy to get caught in the feeling of deja vu—it can make you feel like you've been there, done that. Take a slice of humble berry pie and recognize that each day brings new experiences. Keep a curious mind.

Aquarius

This is definitely not what you’re going to want to hear, but you need to take a break from your community. They might be causing you stress in ways you didn't recognize, and this New Moon could result in a trigger that leads you to step out of line. Relax and go on a date—this New Moon looks very fortunate for your love life!

Pisces

You seem to be really worried about your career, and that’s understandable. We all have to make money—how else will you eat? Try not to overdo it with thoughts of the future, and don't bully yourself for what you haven’t accomplished. Rest is a part of the growing process, and it will indirectly help you strategize. Give yourself a break!
