For the New Moon in Sagittarius for your sign, or natal house placement:
Aries
(9th House) At this time of year Aries is asked to plant seeds of freedom and possibility. If you allow the past to define and limit you, you will never fully come to appreciate your full potential. We evolve. We grow. We do have potential. But you need to free yourself up from the past in order to do so. Use the New Moon to become better informed. And that includes becoming informed about those issues, worries and old tunes that keep following you around in your head. Understanding these can help you to release them, and then move on to bigger and ever better things. There is a whole vast world just waiting to be explored. Whether that means the world itself, through travel and adventure, or the world of ideas, as well as your core beliefs about things like purpose and destiny. We all have a path. And this New Moon is trying to give you something of an inkling of what that could look like, if you are but willing to let some of those old narratives about who you thought you were, go. A good intention to make with the New Moon in Sagittarius might be: May I gain a clearer understanding of the purpose and meaning of my life.
Taurus
(8th House) What is all that baggage that you’ve been carrying with you, but that you no longer need, and now is asking to be released? What old tropes and fiendish fears have been dictating your choices, and can no longer be abided? What are you now needing to say No to, in order to reclaim your time? Sagittarius is a sign of freedom and expansion, and in some way the New Moon in Sagittarius is asking you to release any unrealistic hopes and wishes for the future that are standing in the way of you living your own best life right here and now. That can include releasing any obligations or commitments that diminish you, or are getting in the way of you fully realizing your self-worth. At the same time you are being given opportunities to deepen those ties to those people and things that make you feel needed and valued. Therefore a good affirmation for the New Moon in Sagittarius on Friday, might be: Through the power of transformative change and purification, I clear the way for positive growth and change.
Gemini
(7th House) The Sagittarius New Moon is a time for connecting, in particular with those people who make you feel larger than life. You need people who laugh at your jokes, who fill you with good cheer, and inspire you to reach for the stars. And so you may ask, who is it that makes you laugh, who is it who accepts you with all of your quirks and crazy realizations and notions? Who is it who knows you better than anyone. Those are the keepers. Those are the ones who will help you to realize who you are without judgment, while also inspiring you to grow in ways that you’ve been only flirting with this past year. Next year could be something of a banner year for Gemini, and having the right allies can make all the difference. Therefore a good affirmation for the New Moon on Friday might be: I grow even larger when I connect with those who inspire me to reach high.
Cancer
(6th House) New Moons are times each month in which we make new or renew commitments in certain areas of our lives. For Cancer, the New Moon in Sagittarius is about commitments in your everyday life that impact your job, your routines, and your health and well-being. On the whole, Sagittarius is an optimistic sign that looks to the future with hope. But ultimately this particular New Moon is about filtering out and distinguishing between those things and activities that support rather than diminish your effectiveness in the world. What are the routines or regimens you follow that make you feel better, more effective, and support your well-being? What are the things that inspire you?. There is no judgment here. This is about those things that feed you body and soul, vs. those that merely drain you or undermine your well-being. Therefore a good intention for this New Moon might be: May I find the lifestyle, healer, healing method or guide that will best support my health and well-being.
Leo
(5th House) The New Moon in Sagittarius is generally a positive Moon for Leo each year. It inspires confidence, and energizes you. However with squares to Saturn and Neptune this year, you are being asked to reassess those things that used to energize you in the past, but may not be working all that well right now. Or might even be getting in the way of doing the sorts of things that would raise your spirits, and make you feel larger than life. If you are feeling overly obligated to something that is proving to be tiresome these days, or some how stuck, exhausting you, or making you doubt yourself and your abilities. Reassess the reasons behind this. You’re going to want to clear up some space in your social life in order to allow better things to be able to come in. Therefore a good intention for the New Moon on Friday could be: I want all obstacles to joy and happiness lifted from me.
Virgo
(4th House) The New Moon in Sagittarius comes at a critical time of the year in which we are beckoned to look back and within. We gather the tribe, share stories and gather data. This can be more immediate as in reflecting on the year that was and the events that have shaped you as a result. But it can also be about looking way back, to the source and meaning of the ways that we might undermine ourselves. For instance in our relationships. This year the New Moon takes you a little deeper, not only connecting with early childhood experiences, and family, but perhaps even your ancestors and the culture within which you were raised. These can bring significant insights into who you are today, and the choices you have made throughout your life. Therefore a good intention for the New Moon in Sagittarius may be: May I come to appreciate the patterns and events in my life, that have led me to where I am now.
Libra
(3rd House) The New Moon in Sagittarius is optimistic and expansive. And inspiring. But this year it is tainted with all sorts of issues, obligations, memories that mar the festivities, or at the very least seem to tone them down. Note that this is a time of mental renewal, in which you are being asked to have faith that you are being led where you need to be. But in order to get to that place, there may be some baggage, some old habits and tendencies, that you are needing to leave behind. That may be as simple as just saying no, and making precious time for yourself and your own mind. Pick up that book that you’ve been meaning to get to. Do reflect, but with the intention of processing rather than dwelling on the past. The New Moon in Sagittarius beckons you to walk through the door that is in front of you, rather than looking longingly at the door that just closed, putting your faith in the future. Therefore a good intention for the New Moon on Friday might be: May I have the faith and confidence that everything will work its way out in only the best way possible.
Scorpio
(2nd House) Sagittarius season is a season of abundance. And the New Moon in Sagittarius, if nothing else aims to grow our wallets as well as our hearts 10 sizes, in keeping with the holiday spirit. However, this year with squares to both Saturn and Neptune there is cautious speculation as to how much frivolity this season actually calls for. With an abundance of caution, however, it is still possible to be festive and cheerful. It’s not how rich you are in your pockets, so much as in your heart. And that’s the part that counts. There is magic this time of year. When you receive with gratitude and when you give from the heart, the universe listens and pays attention, and rewards. Therefore a good intention for this New Moon on Friday might be: May I open my heart to receiving the abundance that the universe ha to offer …
Sagittarius
(1st House) When the New Moon falls in your sign as it does this Friday, it is an opportunity for renewal and something of a rebirth. But in order to do this well, you may want to reacquaint yourself with yourself. That can certainly include what you want from your life right now. But it can also be about what you no longer need. That might include having to set better limits with yourself and others. And putting to bed those things that have simply become too much. The New Moon at 28º Sagittarius 25’ is relevant for all Sagittarians, but it will be especially so for those born between December 17th and the 21st, or who have 26-29º of Sagittarius Rising. There is one major super power that all Sagittarians have and that is the gift of optimism, foresight and faith Therefore a good affirmation for the New Moon on December 19th might be: My optimism and belief in myself and my future knows no bounds.
Capricorn
(12th House) The New Moon in Sagittarius is an opportunity each year for Capricorn to close up shop, take some time for themselves and go within. Perhaps even do a little soul searching. There is a wait and see attitude as we approach the Solstice and Capricorn season on the 21st. Or perhaps you find a need to tie up some loose ends from the previous year. Turn down some of the noise and commotion in your life in order to connect with yourself. This may require you to retreat from the world for a few days. Take stock of your situation. And prepare for the New Year that is about to unfold, There are some ideas brewing. But in order to fully connect with the future, you are first being asked to make peace with the past. This will then make room for the new beginnings that feel so imminent. A good intention for the New Moon on Friday might be: May I connect to my inner guides and the voices of eternal wisdom, so that I may allow these to show me the way forward..
Aquarius
(11th House) The New Moon in Sagittarius is your wishing moon. And you might want to use the New Moon to cast your wishes into space. However, in order to do this well, you might want to discriminate between those hopes and dreams that are worth investing in, and have the capability of being achieved, and those that are merely unrealistic pipe dreams. But you might want to also ask yourself, which of these are worth fighting for, and perhaps even sacrificing for? Which of these dreams are most meaningful to you? Figure out which of these dreams are keepers, and which are needing to be put up on a shelf somewhere. And then connect with your most sincere and heartfelt dreams, while making the intention with the New Moon on Friday that: If this dream is meant for me, may the best possible circumstances arise to see it fulfilled.
Pisces
(10th House) The New Moon in Sagittarius is a time each year for Pisces to reset their inner gps system for the future. Sagittarius is a sign of inspiration, that asks you to expand your vision for the future. But in order to do this well, you are going to reassess what is or is not right for you. Not necessarily what other people think you should be doing, or supposed to be doing, but what you really want to be doing in your own heart of hearts. Think of yourself as standing at the top of a mountain, not only to see how far you have come, but also to consider which road you might want to take from here. You might decide that you are indeed on the right path, but after much consideration you might find yourself reassessing some of your goals. And within that context, make the intention with the New Moon in Sagittarius to: Obtain a clearer understanding of my higher purpose and goals.
