New Moon in Sagittarius

Sagittarius’ evolutionary goal is to develop faith and search of meaning in life. With both the Sun and Moon in the sign of the adventurer, this New Moon brings with it a feeling of optimism and expansiveness.

This lunation is conjunct Venus and Mercury (both in Sagittarius) which support us in orienting us towards our next adventure or journey we are choosing to embark on. Mercury highlights where our curiosity is guiding us while Venus can points us towards what we find valuable and soothing to the senses.

For Sagittarius, exploration can take various forms, and exposing oneself to the unfamiliar is how our expansion begins to take root. Exploring a new location via a day trip, tasting the freedom of the outdoors, soaking in a new book or course, or taste testing a new belief or perspective are all ways in which we can have mind (Mercury) and heart (Venus) stretching experiences.

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius and this new moon, asks us to have unwavering faith in ourselves and our potential. Jupiter raises the questions: where have you been underestimating yourself, and where have you been settling for too little? Taking a leap of faith, believing in yourself, and dreaming bigger is Jupiter’s terrain. Living life as a meaningful adventure is the Sagittarian strategy, and tuning into our inner compass can help lead us in the right direction.

Reflections:

  • How have I been underestimating myself/my potential?

  • On what adventure is my heart and curiosity leading me?
    What area(s) in my life is feeling stagnant and how can I break up my routine?

  • What area(s) in my life are calling for more freedom, adventure, expansion or a fresh start?
