New Moon in Sagittarius
New Moon in Sagittarius
Element: Fire
The December New Moon brings an expansive energy that encourages you to envision your future with an open heart and a boundless spirit. It invites you to set intentions based on what you truly desire, rather than what you believe is possible.
Returning to Ourselves
Have you had the feeling lately that you’ve tried your best and not succeeded? Have you felt as though you’ve put in a lot of ‘hard work’, only to find it didn’t really pay off? Perhaps you’ve even experienced some setbacks, where—despite doing everything right—things still turned around at the very last moment. Or maybe you’ve simply been irritated or unfulfilled without quite knowing why or where it comes from.
There has been a trickster energy moving through the months of October and November. Scorpio and retrograde season can make it difficult to operate in the way we humans tend to prefer: do something—and succeed!
Yet the recent past has offered us valuable lessons about what success looks like on the inner planes. Who are you, when you strip away the external need for approval? What happens when you feel let down by the world, or confronted with your longing to be seen and admired? And how can you return to being in the world with an orientation towards personal pleasure and play, rather than seeking validation and admiration from others?
Expanding through joy
These lessons will be valuable as the energy shifts during this Sagittarius New Moon—one of the most hopeful moons of the year. Sagittarius is the playful archer who looks toward the future, its arrow guiding you towards your personal truth, higher mind, and ideals. This New Moon opens a chapter filled with all the beautiful Sagittarian qualities of expansiveness, taking a chance on something new, and moving towards whatever enlightens your soul.
During this time it is extra important, that you envision your future life on a foundation of personal joy and pleasure. The universe measures success not by likes and admiration but by energy and joy. If something makes you happy, then go for it. And if something depletes you and drains you, it will not be successful in the long run. Is it really that simple, you may ask? Yes darling, it really is, in the eye of a Sagittarius.
Sagittarius season is a journey of expansion, so think of this New Moon as your ally and playmate in helping expand what is based on play and pleasure, rather than striving and competing.
Under this New Moon, try to stretch your mind beyond what you think it possible. This is a time to grow and learn from the teachers of joy and fun.
The days around this New Moon are especially favourable for branching out in your career–or taking a new road entirely. You may want to explore different areas of work or diverge into new avenues in your current profession.Go for it! If ever there was a time to take the next step by playing and having fun, this is it.
Celebrate your spectacular self during the days of the December New Moon as it illuminates your inner spark and encourages you to recognize and appreciate your unique talents, achievements, and successes.
A Wish Written in Starlight
As you gaze upon the shining stars in the dark December sky, allow yourself to imagine beyond the confines of the logical mind. Look towards the future through the twinkle within you, and listen to the New Moon’s whisper: “You are here to shine.”
Then declare to yourself—and to the Universe—that you will fulfil that wish, for yourself and for the world.
