ASTRO NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
1-2 / 12/ 2024 @06:21 GMT
All Hail & Welcome to Astro: New Moon. This new cycle will embrace the qualities of Sagittarius the archer & we will be under its influence along with a major planetary motion, all of which I shall discuss in this Astro article. As New Moon’s go, this has a wonderful fresh, optimistic air about the mutable fire sign, the Moon is traversing at New phase. Lets have a wander into Sagittarius New Moon....
New Moon is symbolic of the end of the last cycle & the beginning of the new cycle. As it is within nature, we begin again with new cycles, by preparing a good growing space for our seeds of intent to be sown into & grown from. The darkness of the soil acts as fertile ground within which the seed germinates & grows, peeping its head above ground when its ready to grow into our dreams, desires or into that beanstalk we’ve been dreaming of. New Moon is a time for our ideas & desires to come to the fore, for us to act on them, placing them into our fertile minds, which during this phase will be full of energetic forces, initiative & intent for future endeavours. New moon is a symbol of new beginnings, inspired thought & new ideas, the beginning of another 28 day cycle. When a new moon occurs, the sun & moon are sat next to each other quite amicably, in the same sign. Each zodiac sign has its own qualities which are illuminated through the moon when it sits in that sign. Here, we begin a new cycle at new moon in the sign of the seeker, the archer, Sagittarius.
Sagittarius, the archer is depicted by the half horse, half man Centaur, who carries with him his bow & arrow. The significance of his weapon to our lives is connected to the direction in which we desire to move to either maintain our course or to change to our new pathway toward our authenticity & fresh, adventure in life or especially given the time of year to point inward for reflection. On the positive side of Sagittarius, we have optimism, adventure, drive, assertiveness, intellect & independence which is on offer to us. However, let us also be aware of the negative sides to avoid becoming unstuck or mistaken. These are carelessness, tactlessness, impatience, over-confidence, speaking before thinking or reading the situation improperly before commenting. I’m sure that if any of us can recognise these symptoms of Sagittarius’ negative side, we can be sure to avoid those feelings or people acting out the same. That said, a quiet confidence in what we are working toward helps to keep us positive. As a fire sign, Sagittarius needs to be in touch with its surroundings, to experience as much as possible because freedom is Sagittarius’ greatest prize.
Sagittarius is expansive & on the positive side of its qualities we can begin this cycle focusing on our aspirations which help us increase our comprehension, awareness & confidence, by harnessing the strength & courage to broaden our perspective. We must avoid the mundane details which we would usually spend time over, to attain the bigger picture of our dream, as these will incur the cost of over indulging perfectionism. Sagittarius thinks on the larger side, so be mindful of expectation. Remember that we are preparing the ground for seeds to germinate in, to grow, whether that be over this phasing of the moon or over a longer period of time, to fruition & a good harvest. So we need to be optimistic, not over expectant.
New Moon in Sagittarius is a great new moon to focus on new beginnings & how we would like them to proceed. We are being offered new experiences, expansion & adventure. This will allow us to view a larger perspective & understanding of what is possible from that view. However, this Sagittarius new Moon comes with a planetary attaché, Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius.
Planetary influences
New Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Mercury retrograde – retrograde is an opportunity to revisit, reorganise, recalibrate events, issues or emotions. With Sagittarius Moon & Mercury retrograde, we could be looking at 2nd chances for something we didn’t quite complete. This moon sign & planet combination, encourages us to concentrate on giving something another go. There may be certain experiences or ideas which never made it past the innovation board or perhaps were tried but not really tested. Perhaps there was an idea begun that was shelved for some reason or another. Now would be a good time to revisit & regain knowledge, to make this idea work for the bigger picture.
Ask yourself
What could I give a 2nd chance to?
What would I like to revisit, that has in the past failed or did not achieve fruition?
What can I learn from revisiting this experience?
This may be something quite big & expansive. It may be something we can begin to take a chance on again, learn something new from or learn some new skill from. Bare in mind that this is Mercury retrograde, so anything that has travel or legal documentation included, might be quite challenging. Mercury Retrograde will affect communications, electrical appliances, decisions, legal contracts & travel. These may need to be taken into consideration or put off until Mercury goes direct at Full moon, 15 December 2024.
That’s it for another Astro: New Moon article. My gratitude to you all for joining me on another cosmic adventure. I hope you find the general information you have read helpful to your next couple of weeks. I wish for you smooth journeying, until next we meet.
