Fact: 2020 is almost over. And with everything that’s happened this year, no one can blame you for being especially amped for 2021 to arrive. It’s not just you that’s ready to move on—the universe is, too.

It’s all thanks to a new moon and solar eclipse happening on December 14, 2020. This new moon is taking place in the sign of Sagittarius, stirring up feelings of faith, hope, and optimism, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Basically, it’s everything you need RN and then some.

But of course, it's a li'l more complicated than that. Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the new moon and solar eclipse in Sagittarius:

What does the new moon and solar eclipse in Sagittarius mean for your sign?

Some quick astronomy basics: The moon has different phases, and that usually includes 12 new moons a year. A new moon is what happens when the earth lines up with the sun, making the moon look all but invisible from our little blue planet.

FWIW: A solar eclipse always happens when there’s a new moon. But this is a total eclipse, which makes it more significant from an astrological perspective. Total bummer alert, though: You won’t be able to see the solar eclipse in the United States.

But you'll still feel its effects. Each new moon­—whether it has a total eclipse with it or not—is synced up with a different astrological sign, and has its own thing going on.

This particular new moon and solar eclipse is in the sign of Sagittarius, and it’s making you want to see things in your life just ~flow~. This’ll impact pretty much every area of your life, from your job to those jeans that have never fit right (those, btw, are finally getting donated).

At the same time, you’ll be focused on looking forward to a better, brighter future. Sure, things might be a little, er, challenging these days, but it won’t be that way forever.

Mercury, the planet of communication, is also in the mix, making you want to reconnect with people you’ve lost touch with recently. Even though it’s kinda impossible to meet up in person right now, a solid FaceTime or group Zoom will work socially-distanced wonders.

You’ll also have a craving to just dream big, go out, and do new things—even if it’s only planning an epic vacation for down the road.

On the relationship front, you’ll feel really good about where your love life is headed, even if you and your S.O. have been fighting a little more lately. After all, you both know deep down that you can get back on track—it's just a blip.

The new moon and solar eclipse will impact all zodiac signs, but Sagittarius and Gemini will feel it the strongest.

How will the new moon and solar eclipse in Sagittarius affect your future?

Going into a new year with a sense of hope and optimism is a really, really great way to kick things off, because duh!

It’s been easy to get stuck in negative Nancy mode with everything **gestures broadly** going on in life lately. But the new moon and solar eclipse will help give you an attitude adjustment, and that can impact just about everything—from how you feel when you get up in the morning to how you handle stress at work.

And that has a trickle-down effect for your future. Finally, you’ll realize how much your relationships matter to your health and overall well-being. When there's positivity with friends and your partner, you’ll feel just fabulous. And that will push you to give your special crew a little more TLC on the reg going forward.

When is the next new moon?

The next new moon is on January 13, 2021 in the sign of Capricorn. This particular new moon will help you focus on being useful to other people—and finding your inner strength.

For now, though, revel in those feelings of hope. It’s about damn time.
