But hotels crowded out Indigenous populations, watering down the authenticity of formerly protected areas. People were exposed to foreign cultures, opening minds. Economically, however, this Sagittarian-ruled area was rich in opportunity, tripling in growth to a $1.6 trillion industry over the past 20 years-one that allowed some of Earth's poorest citizens access to money. Environmental studies were already showing the grave impact of tourism on the Earth. The Sagittarius eclipses-which began with a lunar (full moon) eclipse on June 5, 2020, and wrap with this final solar eclipse-serve us powerful lessons around travel.ДЄs with every eclipse, there is a paradox.

Ironically, while restrictions have drastically affected our ability to travel, humans are sharing an unprecedented, unified experience-from Peru to the Persian Gulf. Sagittarius is the zodiac's global explorer,В and this new moon broadens our horizons. Here are six ways to tap into the visionary energy of the December 2021 Sagittarius new moon and solar eclipse:

From May 5, 2020, until January 18, 2022, this lunar point is anchored in the Archer's realm, turning our attention there. This solar eclipse lands at a close degree to the karmic South Node in Sagittarius, a point in the sky that can reveal both our cosmic 'comfort zones' as well as any global issues in need of an upgrade. In a birth chart, the Sun reveals the sources from which we draw our power and energy. The Sun, on the other hand, rules the ego (it's the center of the solar system that everything revolves around, after all). (For some stunning self-revelations, we suggest running a natal chart to look up your moon signВ and discover your emotional blueprint.) But in these rare cases (two to three times per year), the new moon aligns with the ecliptic, an imaginary line tracing the path of the Sun.В In astrology, the moon governs what we as humans need to feel safe and comfortable it is the astro-arbiter of our emotions. Solar eclipses always arrive with a new moon, when both Sun and moon align at the same zodiac sign and degree.
