The Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius is a collective initiation. The ego, the identity, and the leadership we may have trusted all feel stripped back. Whether it’s a figure of state, a beloved guide, or even an old self-image, something is being taken away, quieted, or dimmed.

The New Moon arrives in Capricorn. There’s pressure. There’s a desire to learn from the past before the dangers of the future arrive. This lunation offers a reset. It’s not a giant leap forward, but a realistic and sober assessment.

We’ve built expectations, set goals, and mapped out how we thought the end of the year would unfold… yet the results just aren’t matching up. This lunation brings a disconnect between expectation and reality.
