New Moon in Sagittarius - December 12th, 2023
On Tuesday, December 12th at 3:32 PM PST and 6:32 PM EST, we have the last New Moon of the year showing up in the fiery, resilient, and adventure seeking sign of Sagittarius. Shortly after the New Moon arrives, Mercury stations Retrograde reminding us of how important it is to slow down and pay attention to what really matters. However, don’t be surprised if you experience mishaps, misunderstandings, technological glitches, delays, and a few extra setbacks on your path until Mercury stations direct on January 1, 2024.
I’m sure the timing of this Retrograde feels really inconvenient as many of us rush around trying to get everything completed before the end of the year. To make the most of this Mercury Retrograde take some time and reflect back on your experiences in 2023. What have you accomplished? What did you learn? How did you change? What broke your heart? What inspired you? Who left an imprint on your year? How might your disappointments and achievements fuel your intentions for 2024?
This Sagittarian energy might inspire you to try new things, explore a new connection or place, trust in something bigger than yourself, or maybe do something outside your comfort zone. What would it look like for you to experience more freedom in your life right now? What would you pursue if you felt that small spark within being ignited? What goals would you set if you could dream bigger? If everything went your way, what might you do? With Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, also retrograde until December 30th, it will be important to pause and reflect on these questions.
Chiron, the wounded healer, makes a strong appearance during this New Moon along with Mars, the planet of assertion, suggesting that we will feel more driven to get to the bottom of what’s been bothering us. It’s also possible that you’ll feel more proactive and ready to deal with the situation in front of you. Consider how you’d like to set stronger boundaries.
The mystical and dreamy planet, Neptune, is making a challenging and tricky aspect to this lunation, suggesting that there will be some confusion about how to take steps forward. You might feel as though you are drifting off course or that some of your dreams are leading you on a wild detour. Maybe you’ll see where you’d like to be or what you’d like to change, but you’ll feel torn and unsure about how to move forward. Be patient with the process and remember that you don’t have all the pieces to the story. More will be revealed after December 22nd.
While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to expand our horizons, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Sagittarius is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you’re not sure where to start, I’d be more than happy to set up a consultation to see if I would be a good fit to work with you.
