New Moon in Sagittarius

(12/1/2024)

On December 1st we have a New Moon in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the invitation to explore deeply, to fearlessly take a look at yourself, your interactions in the world around you and in your interpersonal relationships. The Sun and the Moon meet in Sagittarius, emphasizing this expansive and seeking energy. 

The New Moon in Sagittarius is a powerful opportunity for manifestation and self-growth, as it carries the expansive, optimistic, and adventurous energy of Sagittarius. This phase is ideal for setting bold intentions, exploring new opportunities, and connecting with your authentic truth. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance, encourages us to think big and embrace a mindset of hope and possibility.

To align with this energy, begin by setting clear intentions. Focus on areas in your life where you want to grow, learn, or explore. Craft statements in writing that reflect these desires as if they’ve already been fulfilled, such as, “I attract opportunities that align with my highest purpose,” or, “I courageously embrace new adventures and trust the process of growth.” You might also create a vision board filled with images and affirmations that symbolize freedom, adventure, and expansion. Mapping out how you see your future is a great way to pull it towards you in an intentional way. 

Reflect on shadow work questions like, “What areas of my life feel ready for growth?” or, “How can I bring more adventure and joy into my daily routine?” This process helps you uncover deeper truths about what you truly desire and how you can align with your highest self. Sagittarius energy also invites you to practice gratitude, focusing on the blessings in your life and envisioning their continued expansion. Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to multiply your abundance. 

Shadow work during this New Moon can take many forms (not just journaling, we are after all in the season of adventure and exploration). Consider learning something new or diving into a subject that excites your curiosity, whether through reading, taking a course, or planning an educational trip. Physical activities that emphasize movement and freedom, such as hiking or yoga, can help you connect with Sagittarius’s adventurous spirit. Meditation and visualization exercises are also beneficial, allowing you to picture yourself achieving your goals with a sense of lightness and optimism. 

The Sagittarius New Moon invites you to aim high, trust the journey ahead, and embrace the limitless possibilities life offers. It’s a time to dream boldly, expand your horizons, and align with your truest potential.
