The important side note here is that the new moon is accompanied by Mercury retrograde and Saturnian energy, bringing a slower, weightier feel. This is where some reflection can be useful. Take time to pause and fully realise the wisdom you have gained this year. Consider your dreams and plans carefully before forging ahead. This lunar cycle has much to teach us…
Ways to work with the new moon in Sagittarius:
- Celebrate what inspires you: When do you feel energized and inspired? Maybe it’s through some kind of activity, gaining knowledge or being creative. How can you bring some more of that energy in?
- Look at the bigger picture: Take a step back. What feels truly important now? Rather than a scattered approach, assess the view to see where your focus is best placed.
- Seek out fun: Is it time to enjoy and celebrate life a little more? What are the hobbies/ who are the people that bring you joy? Give them some of your time.
- Practice gratitude: What in your life feels plentiful? Make a list of all the things you are grateful for.
- Pause to consider future goals: Take time to reflect on what new horizons may be out there. Let yourself be optimistic!
