A solar eclipse is also a new moon: the Moon passes between Earth and Sun and covers some or all of the Sun from particular locations. The geometry is exact on December 5, 2029; its symbolic meaning remains interpretive. For this partial solar eclipse, the tradition emphasizes a beginning whose full shape may take time to understand.
Sagittarius supplies the subject: Sagittarius restores perspective when the immediate problem has become too small a room. The caution is that a compelling big picture can skip the evidence or obligation close at hand. Around the December 5, 2029 eclipse, test the larger story against one direct experience before committing to it. Allow later events to add information before drawing a final conclusion.

Questions to carry
- What is changing around meaning, range, and the beliefs that give a journey its direction, even if you do not yet know what the change will become after December 5, 2029?
- Where could you test the larger story against one direct experience before committing to it while leaving room for the eclipse story to unfold at its own pace?
In the real sky
A solar eclipse is a new moon that lines up exactly: the Moon passes in front of the Sun and its shadow falls on part of Earth. This one is partial, with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius.
What to look for
- The Moon takes a bite out of the Sun. Eye protection is needed the whole time.
- Never look at the Sun directly, even when most of it is covered. Use eclipse glasses made to the ISO 12312-2 standard, or a pinhole projector: a small hole in card throws an image of the Sun onto a surface below it.
- Local times differ from the peak: the eclipse starts earlier in some places and later in others, and lasts a couple of hours from first contact to last.

The times of planet ingresses, stations and aspects come from NASA JPL's DE441 ephemeris, read through its Horizons service. Other instants and the positions come from the site's astronomy engine and its committed yearly and monthly sky catalogs, the same data behind the Almanac and the daily horoscopes. Times are universal time; in the Americas an instant can fall the evening before the date printed. Sign-by-sign notes, where present, use whole-sign solar houses. The readings are a tradition being applied, not a forecast. The methodology page sets out both halves.
