December 2021: new moon in Sagittarius
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol, as well as some resources for this full moon.
The December 2021 new moon falls in the sign of Sagittarius. The freedom loving Sagittarius archetype is in a constant search for inspiration, new avenues of exploration, and adventure. This is a sign that gets bored of the status quo easily, and needs the rush of a new quest to keep them on their toes.
This month, we also have a solar eclipse, which will be visible in Antacrtica, and in parts of southern Africa, including locations in South Africa and Namibia. Solar eclipses typically lend extra oomph to the new moon, helping us to break habitual patterns, bringing in an awakening of sorts, and offering us a cosmic reboot. This particular eclipse is the final eclipse on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis, and is connected to the series of eclipses that started in June 2022.
To throw some more light on the December new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Sagittarius new moon falls in decan 2, which is represented by the Nine of Wands. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with Temperance, which is associated with Sagittarius.

I’m thrilled to be teaching on Book of Days next year! This year long mixed media art journaling deep dive is hosted by my mentor, the wonderful Effy Wild.

As a self-taught artist with no previous art experience {not even art classes as a child!}, I was very lucky to find a handful of art teachers who had a massive impact on my art journey. Effy is one of them.
I've been part of her community almost since the start of my own artist's journey, back in 2013/2014. Since then, I've taken at least one of Effy's courses almost every year. Her style of teaching gave me the confidence to be bold; to be willing to experiment, make mistakes, and try again; to take a set of instructions and interpret them in my own way.
No matter where you are on your art journey, I'm confident that this course will help you grow tremendously as an artist. Effy's focus on ‘process’ over ‘product’ is what helped me to experiment fearlessly, while building the skills and learning the techniques that enabled me to create a body of work that I am proud of.
To sum up, the class includes lessons from 25 artists {including one writing coach} + over 33 lessons + monthly workbooks + three LIVE ZOOM gatherings with Effy.
Early bird pricing of $99 is available until December 31 {with payment plans available}, at which point it will go up to $120.
Oh, and all of this comes with lifetime access!
I hope to see you in the classroom!
