"The Arrow Of my aspiration is strong and true. I will not be deterred in my quest for Union."

Happy New Moon! It's Sunday, December 17th and our lovely New Moon is in the fiery sign of Sagittarius. Use the energy of the moon in Sagittarius for magick pertaining to:

Understanding
Adventures; both mental and physical.
Travel that broadens the mind.
Expanding conceptual horizons.
Long-term planning

The Sag New Moon brings us a powerful source of lunar energy to be free of restrictions. Freedom and spontaneity is at the forefront of our attention and most people may find that they may have the itch to travel. If you aren't the outdoorsy type, curling up with a nice warm blanket in a cozy nook with a great book on philosophy or writing in a journal can be a more relaxing alternative for release and clarity .

There is a proclivity now towards open and honest exchanges, and seeing things from a more idealistic viewpoint. Now is a great time to rid yourself of any meanness, pettiness, or unresolved dramas. Let go of these types of misunderstandings as we now have the opportunity to create some major transformation, and healing. The Archer helps us aim and shoot toward our goals, but we must be open and receptive to it's potent energy. With 2018 just around the corner, now is the time to benefit from forward moving, growth, and expansion. Allow the fires of the Sagittarius new moon to burn through any and all obstacles/ barriers. The arrow of the archer is in our hands, be sure to choose it’s direction carefully.

NEW MOON MEDITATION : SAGITTARIUS

Written by K. Johannsen

Sitting in silence, Ask “How can I use these energies of Sagittarius for the upliftment of creation as a whole?” Align with the universal realm of ideas. In receptivity, allow yourself to await new inspirations, new impressions. With a joyful heart, receive and resolve to manifest these new ideas into the world as an act of service to humanity.

Moon Wellness (health):

The Moon in Sagittarius affects the extended vertebrae (sacrum and coccyx) as well as thighs. At this time massages are particularly beneficial and can loosen up the muscles. Stiff thigh muscles and deep-seaten contusions can be quickly cured with long soaks in Epsom salt and soothing herbal mixtures that smell great and relax the senses. Take this soak a step further by lighting a purple candle (the color associated with Sagittarius) and close your eyes for a healing moon meditation
