Sagittarius New Moon

The New Moon in Sagittarius will occur on December 12 at 3:32 PM Pacific Standard Time and 6:32 PM Eastern Standard Time. This will be the final New Moon of 2023. Therefore, we must make our intentions count and set achievable goals. 

The New Moon squares off with the planet Neptune while harmonizing with the Nodes of Destiny.  To make sound decisions that will positively impact our future, it's important to have a clear understanding of our goals and aspirations. Even though Neptune's presence may add a layer of confusion, making it difficult to gain clarity. To combat this, it's recommended to spend some time meditating or visualizing what we want to manifest in our lives.

 It's important to keep in mind that the planetary ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, is currently retrograde until December 30. During Jupiter’s retrograde period in Taurus, it's a good idea to concentrate on personal growth and evolution at a pace that feels comfortable to us. This means that when selecting manifestation tools, we should focus on areas that are important to us, such as relationships, finances, work, and creativity that require us to take baby steps towards cultivating. We’ll have to tend to these visions throughout the months to come to help them take flight. 

Healing centaur Chiron in Aries, justice-seeking asteroid Juno, and the passionate asteroid Eris are all in aspect to the New Moon, creating tension between our needs and desires. Taking a step back from situations will help us see things. Remember, looking at matters from the bigger picture is more important than analyzing them under a microscope. Only then can we assess what is truly essential to our lives. We may feel certain arguments are not worth the drama or that it's easier to pick up and start over on a project.

The bottom line is that we shouldn't be holding on to things that aren't working, even though Jupiter's retrograde in Taurus is making us hold onto situations and people with a tight grip. The best way to handle this energy is to allow ourselves to be free, and in that, we can find the piece to achieve what we truly want. Fortunately, the fixed star Rasalhague will allow us to do so by having an open mind by broadening our understanding of ourselves and others. 

What To Manifest During The New Moon: 

It is important to have a clear understanding of our desires, especially during this time. To ensure that we are on the right track, we must set our intentions right. This New Moon presents an opportunity to meditate with music that resonates with our innermost being. Music can help us align our minds and set clear goals. Try writing down your aspirations and singing them to the rhythm of your favorite tunes. This will help us stay motivated and focused throughout the year. It'll be your own personal manifestation song, written by you.
