The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs at 9.56am on Thursday, 24 Nov 2021 AEDT (remember to check the time for your specific location if you live in a different time zone).
A new Moon always occurs when the Moon and the Sun are conjunct. In other words, they are next to each other in the sky, and so their energies and influences blend.
The New Moon, generally, is all about new beginnings and setting new intentions, and with this new Moon in Sagittarius, we are looking at new horizons, new adventures, new truths and to discover your own sense of freedom.
The energy of Sagittarius is Mutable Fire. This is an energy that is optimistic, sees the possibilities and is highly adaptable. It is the energy of the Seeker, the Explorer - whether it be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
If I had to choose a song to represent the energy of this New Moon in Sagittarius, it would be 'Don't Fence Me In', as there is a strong need to have the freedom to choose your next adventure - your new goal.
There is also a deeper side to this outwardly, happy-go-lucky energy. There is a need to not just know, but to understand the mysteries and philosophies of life.
Sagittarius energy needs to know the deeper meaning of a subject or area of interest, due to the sign's natural curiosity.
This mutable fire energy of Sagittarius is like a fireworks display with an array of firecrackers lighting up the sky. This is a very visual analogy of the Sagittarian need to explore and seek in many different directions. So, for this New Moon in Sagittarius, you may be tempted to branch out in more than one new direction due to the need for variety. This can deplete that Fire energy, so when setting new intentions for this New Moon, don't spread yourself too thin. Instead point that arrow towards a specific new intention and stay focused.
Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius also trines, or is in harmony with, the Moon and the Sun. This brings a high energy boost and the opportunity for expansion, good fortune and positivity.
Jupiter is currently retrograde in Pisces, the sign of no boundaries and imagination (and is the traditional ruler of Pisces). This retrograde brings in the filter of reality which will prevent imagination from overtaking the need for realistic and achievable goals and without losing that fiery spark that motivates us to get going.
We also have a Stellium with four planets in Sagittarius - the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus. This bodes well for relationships and communication, especially as Venus and Mercury are also conjunct. This brings high energy and positive, honest and heartfelt communication within relationships and the opportunity to really consider what new adventures a relationship can bring.
So what does this all mean for this New Moon in Sagittarius?
This is a very positive energy to look at your own truths, beliefs and philosophies - to look deeply at how they inform the new intentions you need to set for yourself as you venture forward in your life.
This New Moon brings fiery passion in harmony with the expansive nature of Jupiter to reach further, to explore more widely than perhaps you normally would do.
This is a high energy New Moon where you can venture forward from the perspective of the glass, not just half full, but overflowing. This is about trying something new that aligns with your values, ethics and philosophies of life.
It is an opportunity to have open, honest and positive conversations with loved ones about your journey together knowing that for this New Moon, harmony, positvity and possibilities prevail.
For this New Moon in Sagittarius, ask yourself these questions:
- What is my next new adventure?
- Where do I boldly set my new intentions, goals and what will I do to manifest them?
