New Moon in Sagittarius

This week we have a New Moon in Sagittarius on December 1 at 1:21 am EDT (find your time here).

This New Moon is in Sagittarius, the truth-teller of the zodiac. The key though, is that we remember to listen. We can become so fixated on what we view as the truth… when it is really our belief, and not one we should necessarily push onto others.

Sagittarius is the last of the fire signs in the zodiac and is the sign that heralds the end of Autumn. At this point in the season, we’ve finished up the bulk of our metaphorical harvest from the seeds we’ve sown over the year, and are looking forward to gathering with friends and family to celebrate.

The symbol of Sagittarius is that of a Centaur, a creature that is half horse and half man. Sagittarius represents the line between our two minds. Our more base, animal instincts mind, and that that seeks out knowledge and higher understanding.

While on the surface, Sagittarius energy wants to explore, travel, and seek out adventures, there is a deeper need and desire to turn that wanderlust energy inward through higher education, spirituality, and gathering wisdom. Sagittarius energy has equal amounts of outward expansion and inward knowing and intuition.

This New Moon is squared by Saturn and trine Mars. The Moon square Saturn can bring about scarcity based thinking, where we look at things as black or white, all-or-nothing. We’ll have to be mindful of staying above the fray when it comes to this line of thinking, as it can quickly pull us down to where we are stuck in ruminating mode, worried about the past and future, rather than being here in the present moment.

Mars trine the New Moon can boost our willpower and desire to take action. It can lend us courage to tackle typically daunting tasks, but there is a caveat here since we’re currently dealing with Mercury Retrograde and Mars stations retrograde days after this New Moon.

Because this New Moon is square Saturn, it’s not the best New Moon for manifesting, but instead this is a wonderful New Moon for reviewing 2024 and taking stock of what is working and what isn’t working for you. Think of this as getting clear on the path you’re on and reorienting yourself (remember, we’re in Mercury Retrograde) to the direction you want to go in is the best use of this energy.
