New Moon in Sagittarius✨🌙♐
December 1st, 2024
“On The Road”
Every New Moon is an invisible moment of birth, a hidden starting point where nothing has yet taken shape, but there is pure potential, and anything is possible!
And when the New Moon occurs in the sign of Sagittarius, the eternal explorer, philosopher, traveler, and seeker of truth, and freedom, this call becomes even stronger, urging us to look beyond the horizon, envision the impossible, and believe that we can reach places we never imagined.
This New Moon, happening on December 1st at 8:21 AM Greek time, is the first of two New Moons we will experience in December, with the second following on December 31st. It marks the final full lunar cycle of 2024, offering us an opportunity to plant the seeds for what we want to manifest and flourish in the coming year while charting our next great journey. This energy primarily activates those with planets between 6°–12° of the Mutable Cross and promises new possibilities and promising beginnings for the fire and air signs.
When we have a New Moon in Sagittarius, the sign that teaches us that life is a grand adventure, a continuous quest where learning never stops, and there are always growth opportunities, we know that this is the moment to align ourselves with abundance. It’s a time to see your life from a higher perspective, to gather knowledge, wisdom, and experiences, to let go of what no longer serves you, and to evolve.
Sagittarius, infused with Jupiter’s expansive energy, won’t hold back inspiration, enthusiasm, hope, optimism, or the desire for learning. It invites us to look toward the future, set new goals, and give our dreams a second chance. Now is the time to reconnect with joy, broaden your physical and spiritual horizons, approach challenges with a positive mindset, and dream big. This moment offers new paths for creation and manifestation, with greater self-trust in what you can achieve.
What gives your life meaning, and what do you feel is the calling and mission of your soul?
What role have you come to play, and what do you believe is possible for you?
Do your personal beliefs guide you to where you want to go and grow?
What is standing in the way of your vision or goal, and what would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Your beliefs and perceptions shape your world and reality at every moment. This is the time to recognize this power and to replace outdated beliefs with new ones that support your journey and bring a different outcome.
However, fear of failure, success, or the unknown, may arise strongly during this lunar cycle and prompt second thoughts. This is especially true as the New Moon interacts with the square between retrograde Jupiter and Saturn, which will peak on December 24th, reminding us that expansion without a solid foundation could lead to instability and failure.
Saturn’s influence, which limits the optimistic and expansive nature of this New Moon, may delay or place obstacles in our plans. It invites us to take responsibility, understand our limits, and assess whether our goals are realistic and attainable.
Although the Moon opposes Jupiter, tempting us to give, spend, promise, or take on more than we can handle, Saturn advises us to plan wisely, set boundaries, study the prospects, and take practical steps toward our goals.
Despite doubts, external criticism, or tangible obstacles that may arise, it’s essential to maintain faith, learn from challenges, and avoid repeating past mistakes. This period offers a grace period from the Universe to work deeper on what you know well, plan your creation, or simply step back and observe.
However, the fiery force of this Moon is undeniable, connecting us with abundant energy and willpower, as it forms a harmonious Kite formation with Mars at 5° Leo and the Lunar Nodes. This alignment propels us toward our destiny, igniting a desire to move mountains and leave behind what others expect from us (South Node in Libra), focusing instead on what we truly want and are destined for (North Node in Aries).
This energy can also bring support from others, and enhance determination, passion for action, risk-taking, and the flame of creation. It gives us a leading role in the story of our lives, even if immediate rewards or recognition are not forthcoming. This is especially true as Mars prepares for its retrograde phase (December 6th – February 24th), which will make us reassess our desires and put things on hold.
The retrograde Jupiter, the ruler of this Moon, opposes retrograde Mercury, both in each other’s dominion signs, bring a plethora of information, allowing us to discern right from wrong, fairness from injustice, and find answers that may lead us to reassess our beliefs and moral compass. It is time to reflect on what past experiences have taught you about yourself, your relationships, and how you wish to move forward. What changes need to be made so that 2025 aligns with your true self?
Moreover, the harmonious synergy of Mercury with the retrograde Chiron offers the opportunity for forgiveness and healing of past wounds. This alignment invites us to see the hidden blessings in our past mistakes and speak our truth—to others and ourselves—transforming our wounds into beacons of hope and strength.
The conjunction of the royal fixed star Antares with the New Moon, the observer of the West from the heart of Scorpio, known for its courage and combative energy, adds to the Moon’s dynamic. This influences a determined beginning, encouraging us to leave behind what limits us and take bold steps toward freedom and truth.
Meanwhile, Venus from Capricorn, forming a harmonious minor triangle of Talent, with retrograde Uranus and retrograde Neptune, positively influences the third decan of the water and earth signs and acts as a bridge between the realistic and the ideal. The energy of Uranus brings sudden winds of innovation and change, renewing the landscape of relationships and values. It may spark a sudden romance, an idea that could bring financial prosperity or a new perspective that transforms something you once took for granted.
The beneficial influence of transcendent Neptune connects us with a higher form of love and divine inspiration, urging us to create from the heart and soul, see beauty in imperfections, forgive, and dream without limitations.
As 2024 comes to a close, this New Moon in Sagittarius encourages us to reflect on whether we have fully utilized our potential this year and offers us the opportunity to shift beliefs, which is the key to making different choices in the coming year.
It asks us not to rush, but to carefully prepare the next steps, align with a goal, and release the arrow of intention with certainty and the belief that we will hit the target—even if it once seemed impossible.
This Moon reminds us that every achievement starts with a bold dream, and the future belongs to those who dare to aim beyond the limits of today.✨
Wishing everyone a blessed and creative New Moon!✨♐🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
