During Sagittarius season, the Sun bright with optimism and emotional inspiration, feeds our happiness and wellbeing. Increasing this energy is the New Moon in Sagittarius calling us to break up old routines, claim more freedom and seek adventure. Symbolized by the Archer, Sagittarius focuses on the horizon, embarking on a spiritual quest for understanding the diverse fabric of the world through direct experience. In discovering the big picture of life through various cultures, higher knowledge and elevated perspectives, we have a way to understand our place in it.
Sitting close to the Moon, Mars is in the sign of Sagittarius adding zesty passion that sets our heart on fire to claim a dynamic new beginning. However, Mercury in Capricorn stations retrograde the day after the New Moon requiring a mental pause to help navigate this exuberant lunar phase. Serious Capricorn advises to embrace our heart’s desire for change and exciting new possibilities of personal growth and experience. However, heed caution and cultivate any dreams and intentions for a few weeks to be certain you are pointing your arrow in the right direction before shooting it into the vast horizon of life.
Underlining the value in reviewing our New Moon intentions is Jupiter in Taurus, the ruler of this Moon and retrograde until December 30th. This signals the importance of restructuring and refortifying our dreams for greater stability and comfort in all aspects of our lives.
Neptune in Pisces provides a stressful point of growth to our visionary process during this New Moon. Keeping our spiritual sight clear, wide open Neptune can be the creative energy that fuels our inspiration. However, if we lose clarity, we can get lost in a fog of confusion or illusion, unable to determine our true desires or direction. In the quietness of the New Moon, meditation and intuitive rituals can be helpful.
Close to the North Node in Aries, Chiron, the Wounded Healer, activates painful issues during this New Moon. When faced with compassion and courage, Chiron offers opportunities to heal old wounds around fear.
During the last New Moon of 2023 indulge your heart to explore the vast possibilities for personal growth and big dreams that take you beyond what you’ve ever done or known. Recognize that some things in life have become outdated or stale. Be ready to boldly release them as well as feed the fire of renewal within you to keep life rich with substance and spirit.
Follow the sage guidance of the Cosmos, claiming the time to be sure of your objectives for a fresh start. Go over your desires and plans with a practical, strategic eye and review and revise them to flush out any snags. When Mercury stations direct after January 1st, with careful aim, send your well thought out intentions into the Cosmos for a more vibrant, meaningful, heart and soul expanding future.Website: Talking Sky Astrology
