New Moon in Sagittarius 2:20 am EST (11:20 PM PST)

 

The Sagittarius New Moon is a time to align with your big goals and wishes, and to open yourself up to possibilities and opportunities. What would you like to work toward and accomplish in the coming year? Cast the net wide!

 

Mercury, the trickster planet who rules communication, went into direct motion today, December 6th. The combination of a realigned Mercury and the Sadge New Moon feels auspicious. Both Mercury and Venus, keep in mind, are now in their respective shadow periods, meaning they are slowly gaining speed but not yet at their full planetary capacity, so the time to start anew may not be here just yet but it is coming, and you may already feel the building momentum. 

 

We are finally coming to the end of a year that was chock full of retrograde planets -- 2018 was more about back-tracking and focusing on the past than forward movement; there may have been new beginnings but on the whole, the theme of this year has been about the past, so the shift in energy will be a welcome change. Release the past. It is time.

 

When the New Moon is in Sagittarius, that means both the moon and sun are in exuberant Sagittarius. Jupiter is in Sagittarius for the next year - this only happens once every 12 years, so 2019 could be the year to seize the day. If you have been working toward your goals and fulfilling your potential, this may be your year for reaching them/it.

 

Although Sagittarius is know for abundance (and excess, if taken too far), there is a challenging aspect to this New Moon involving dreamy, idealistic Neptune and action-oriented, combative Mars. This may indicate that there is disconnect between your aspirations and the way you are using your energy. This is the month to really assess if your thoughts/behavior/actions are serving and supporting you, and aiding in your growth. If you are misusing your energy in some way, which is causing you to feel depleted and/or out of alignment, it is time to make a change. Neptune in alignment with Mars can also trigger spiritual work, and getting in touch with what really matters in your life. Neptune can also bring deception and addiction, so that is something to watch out for, especially if you are meeting someone new or beginning a new job or project - if it seems “too good to be true” it might be. 

 

On the whole, this is a month to practice gratitude and expand our hearts. May all beings everywhere be happy and free. Namaste and, as my little yogis say, my heart bows to your heart.
