New Moon in Sagittarius...and More!
Are you feeling the fire?
Today, we have a New Moon in Sagittarius that will occur at 4:32 pm MST at 20 degrees. However, I don’t just want to talk about the New Moon in Sagittarius, as there is a lot of energy going on in the air right now. Can you feel it? I sure can!
As we know, a New Moon is a time for new intentions, new beginnings, and putting new ideas into motion. Sagittarius is all about higher learning, philosophy, optimism, truth-seeking, and belief systems. It is all things foreign, such as travel and education, and seeing things from a higher perspective. Sagittarius also governs spirituality and religion.
With the New Moon in Sagittarius at this time, we might want to set new intentions around what we’re learning or studying and how that supports our spiritual growth. We could be shifting in our belief systems, opening our minds and expanding them to learn more about the world that we live in. Some of us might be realizing that we are individual souls and yet part of a collective of souls - tied together by Divine consciousness - for some higher purpose.
When we take a moment to pause, like the void between an ending and a beginning, we can reflect and choose to see everything from a different perspective. We can rise above and see the bigger picture.
Mars (the planet of action and war) is conjunct (together) with the Moon and Sun in Sagittarius, adding even more action and passion, around the themes that I mentioned, to our lives at this time. This could spark passionate debates when it comes to beliefs, history, and spirituality.
It can also inspire us to learn more about other countries and cultures, languages and ideals, and we might even think about travelling to other places to experience a different way of being. Many eyes are on the world right now and what is happening between countries, between people. Wars and conflicts, all throughout history, and for what? What is humanity to gain from these tragic situations?
We should be coming together as a collective to better humanity, not destroy it. When we can see our souls as a collective energy and that harm done to one is harm done to all, we can start to see far beyond our individuality. We can learn the history of humanity and choose to believe in a better future. Believing is creating, for without seeing it in the mind’s eye or feeling it within our being first, it will not manifest.
On the good side, a New Moon in Sagittarius can spark optimism, making us dream big and think positively about what is to come in the next chapter of our lives. The next chapter of our global community, too. We can imagine a world where we care for each other on a soul level, from our heart, and bring peace to all of our interactions, both big and small.
New Chapters
I feel like many of us are shedding skin at this time, like a snake, leaving behind what we no longer need as we move into the new year of the Gregorian calendar. As if we’re shedding off the very last parts of our old self and growing into a new energy, a new version of ourselves. This release of the old creates space and allows new opportunities and things to come into our lives. Are you also feeling this transformation within yourself and in your life?
Many of us are starting new creative projects or career paths. We are feeling inspired to do what makes us happy, rather than staying in an unfulfilling job. And honestly, I think it’s us coming back to our inner child, the little version of ourselves who played with imagination and passion. What were you passionate about as a kid? Are you finding that you’re being drawn to the same activities lately? It might be part of your purpose.
“We nurture our creativity when we release our inner child. Let it run and roam free. It will take you on a brighter journey.”

We’re tapping into or discovering our natural gifts and talents. With the New Moon in Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter, we have luck on our side! What we focus on right now will expand, so make sure you’re intentions are right. Focus on what you want to create in your life. Tap into that child-like wonder you may have had as a kid. Manifest these intentions into the physical world by writing them down. Have fun with it!
Many of us are lightworkers, shining the light on the darkness in the world and bringing truth to the people. Opening up and allowing Divine consciousness to spread love during these crazy times! And it’s not always an easy feat. This includes the peacemakers and souls living from the heart; from heart consciousness. It takes courage and perseverance.
If you feel guided to talk about your spirituality or beliefs about the world, now is the time to start sharing! The New Moon is supporting you and providing you the opportunity with this window of energy. I believe a lot of us are rising up and coming into a higher version of ourselves as we move into this New World. To do that, we need to be our authentic selves and share that with others.
Energetic Influences
We are also experiencing the energy of Venus in Scorpio. This energy could attract some form of transformation in your relationships or your values. You might fall deeply into a passionate connection; a mind-body-soul connection with another being. Even if it doesn’t last long, it could spark something in your personal growth.
We could invest in art or beauty or flourish financially when it comes to our creative projects. You might even feel drawn to express yourself through art, beauty, or your relationships in a more deep, passionate, or intense way. There could be some deeper emotional realizations when it comes to your values and knowing when your values align and don’t align with other people.
However, this energy could also manifest as an obsessive or overly emotional relationship. Lust, instead of love, could surface and lead to secret affairs, addictive sexual desires, or jealous and dramatic connections. A darker, more mysterious side of you may want to come out to express itself.
Keep in mind what your patterns are and be conscious about your values. Is what you’re doing in alignment with your values or not?
What to Keep in Mind…
Mercury is in Capricorn right now. Our communication style might be more logical, realistic, and methodical at this time. We might be fairly organized in our thinking and coming up with ideas on how to climb to the top in our endeavours. Our messages might be blunt and we could be thinking and talking a lot of business.
However, with this planet going retrograde on December 13th, while we’re still feeling the New Moon energy, it’s probably best to re-think before sending that text message, email, or signing any contracts. Make sure you’re not being hasty in your decisions and jumping into conversations too quickly. Remember, any planet in retrograde reminds us to re-, re-, re-! Re-think, re-member, re-mind, re-flect, re-do, and re-consider.
It’s a good time to reflect on boundaries, even with yourself, and what you’re allowing and not allowing into your life. Is there some area you’d like to create boundaries in? What about removing unhealthy ones? Set some new intentions around boundaries and where you might need to take more responsibility.
Ending on a Positive Note.
The energy right now is very optimistic! We’re being supported in our adventures and new creative projects. We’re shedding off the old skin and allowing the new to come in.
With all of this Sagittarius energy, we might even be experiencing more synchronicities, Spirit messages, and lucky breaks than usual. I know I have!
I’ve been receiving free things in the mail, more money flowing to me, and witnessing the weirdest synchronicities. Mind you, I’ve also been working on my manifesting energy when it comes to money, so it could have something to do with this. It’s probably a combination.
So, look out for fun little surprises and gifts that come out of nowhere, interesting “coincidences”, and lucky situations. The Sagittarius energy is all about experiencing opportunity and having fun while you do it!
If you want to know more about how the New Moon, Sun, and Mars are affecting you personally, you can find which house they are currently residing in within your natal chart. You can do the same with Venus in Scorpio.
Lots of Love & Light,

I love the way you write and explain things so clearly!
