At 11:21 pm MST on 11/30/24, our New Moon blooms in expansive Sagittarius, bringing with it a powerful invitation to dream BIG - but with a slight twist. While Sagittarius energy typically has us racing toward the horizon without looking back, this particular moment asks us to pause and really feel into where we're aiming our arrows.
Sagittarius is the 365 party girl of the zodiac – when she's not out expanding her horizons, she's celebrating life in all its glory. Peak brat. For the Archer, the journey of expansion often matters more than the destination. But this New Moon presents you with a beautiful paradox: Mercury Retrograde dances with your monthly lunar reset, creating a potent pause in Sagittarius's usually rapid-spreading fire.
The New Moon is in conversation with Mars, Saturn and Jupiter, offering rich narratives:
A flowing trine to Mars ignites your sacred fire, passion, and unstoppable drive.
Saturn squares the lunation, reminding you that your dreams and ambitions do indeed need containers to hold them. And you may be due for a repotting.
Jupiter (Sagittarius's ruling planet) retrogrades in Gemini, asking you to revisit and rethink what expansion truly means.
Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (contraction) square one another asking you to find wisdom in the liminal space between boundless dreams and grounded reality.
One of the most powerful invitations of this New Moon is the opportunity to adjust your sights without needing to know exactly where you will land. Consider the following:
Are you still aiming at what truly calls to you?
Have your dreams expanded beyond your original target?
What destinations have you outgrown?
You don't need to have all the answers right now. In fact, this New Moon suggests that uncertainty might be your greatest ally in discovering where you truly want to go. Sometimes the joy is in drawing the bow, feeling the tension of possibility, and trusting that your arrow knows where it needs to go.
Fire Magic for Clarity 🔥
Fire magic is especially potent during this New Moon, with both the Sun and Moon meeting in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. Here's a simple but powerful candle ritual to help you gain clarity and focus while working with this expansive energy.
What You'll Need:
A candle (pillar, chime, or taper)
A tool for carving (ball point pens work great)
Clarity-enhancing oil or herbs (peppermint or rosemary are perfect)
Quiet space for ritual
Your intention for clarity
Optional: pen and paper for journaling
The Ritual:
Carve an eye symbol into the center of your candle – this represents your inner vision and wisdom
Anoint your candle with your chosen oil or herbs
Hold the candle close and breathe in its scent, letting the aromatics open your mind
Place the carved eye against your third eye center
With eyes closed, speak your intention for clarity aloud. Let this be organic and from the heart – what kind of clarity are you seeking under this Sagittarius New Moon?
Set your candle in a safe holder and light it
Let it burn while you meditate, journal, or simply sit in contemplation of your next steps
