A Time to Blaze New Trails: The New Moon in Sagittarius
Oct 13, 2023
The celebratory energy of Sagittarius season can become especially concentrated at the New Moon in Sagittarius when both the Sun and the Moon inhabit this fun-loving sign. This year, the New Moon in Sagittarius occurs at 6:32 pm EST on December 12, 2023.
Sagittarius is ruled by expansive Jupiter, a planet associated with knowledge and spirituality. Sagittarius energy is usually optimistic, believing that we’ll find something great if we just explore a little bit further.
However, the difficult side of Sagittarius can come out in an arrogant attachment to one’s own viewpoints. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right balance between being confident in what we’ve learned so far and admitting that we don’t necessarily know everything yet!
The New Moon is often seen as a time to set intentions for things you want to manifest in your life. If you don’t already have a personal goal in mind, looking through this list of characteristics of the New Moon in Sagittarius might give you some timely ideas.
Watch out for:
- Overindulgence. Jupiter loves sensual pleasure. With the Sun and Moon both in this extravagant sign, you may find it hard to resist doing whatever feels good. If it is possible to take a break from a restrictive routine for a day, that might be a wise move to relieve tension. If you truly can’t pursue the particular pleasure that you’re drawn to, though, finding a substitute indulgence can alleviate feelings of missing out.
- Being overbearing. Sagittarius is the sign of the teacher or guru. We all need to learn from the wisdom of others sometimes. We all have things we could teach others as well. However, at the New Moon in Sagittarius, there’s a risk of taking this too far. Remember that a path that worked for you may not be right for everyone else — we each have our own unique circumstances!
Get ready to enjoy:
- Lots of fun. The New Moon in jolly Sagittarius is an ideal opportunity to kick back and have a good time. You may want to share a hearty laugh with friends. If necessary, though, you can fly solo — some pleasures are best enjoyed alone!
- Ambitious ideas. Sagittarius is the sign associated with journeys, physical or mental. The point is to broaden one’s horizons and see new things. Getting outside your comfort zone in this way can help you think of an innovative solution to a problem that’s been troubling you.
Set an intention to manifest:
- A big trip. Sagittarius rules travel. If there’s a destination you’ve long been curious about, the New Moon in Sagittarius is a chance to figure out what it would take to finally get there. Even if a journey of that magnitude seems unrealistic based on your present situation, the point of manifesting is that, once you truly get serious about an idea, circumstances tend to conspire to help make it happen, perhaps in surprising ways.
- Clarity about a spiritual path. Sagittarius is associated with spirituality. Often it’s the side of spirituality that has to do with teachers and specific teachings, rather than mystical experiences that are difficult to pin down to a particular dogma. At the New Moon in Sagittarius, you might set an intention to connect with a spiritual teacher who will guide you in the way that you need right now.
