New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ Nov 23, 2022

Wednesday, Nov 23 @ 2:57 pm PST

Every month the moon spins into the same constellation as the sun. This lunar-solar conjunction is what we call a new moon. This month the moon and sun sparkle together in vivacious Sagittarius, the first moon phase of Sag Season 2022. In 2020 and 2021, the new moons in Sagittarius were also solar eclipses. This means that this constellation has been an important emotional change-point for the last couple years.

The New Moon in Sagittarius is all about moving forward. It’s time to rise above worries and pettiness. Sometimes this means making a major change. Under Sagittarian skies, life feels fun and exciting again. The fire of the centaur warms our heart from the inside out. We’re adopting a more expansive, optimistic attitude now.

Though new moons usually make us feel tired, this is not so true with Sagittarius. Sagittarian energy is lively and joyful. The centaur is known, among other things, for his high energy. We can channel this into festive, seasonal activities and welcome others into our homes and lives to share this energetic bounty.

Sagittarius energy stretches our life to incorporate new ideas, new perspectives, new thoughts about the future. This is an incredibly busy time of year. We are dancing around the fire as it leaps ever higher. Although fast and furious, the fires of Sagittarius help us begin again. You can throw it all in the flames, all your resentment and doubt. Let it disappear into the sky. Kind souls around the globe, feel this loving fire. May this warm winter light fill your being.

Great news: this new moon coincides with the last day of Jupiter Retrograde. Jupiter is ruler of Sagittarius so there couldn’t be better timing for the beginning of Sagittarius Season. This new moon will also form a very loose conjunction to Venus in Sagittarius. Venus, goddess of peace & love, is a wonderful ally to have on your side no matter the constellation, no matter the time of year. I really hope this new moon brings you peace & resolution, you deserve it.
