The Aquarius New Moon & Solar Eclipse: The Fire Horse Architect of the Future

The cosmic clock is striking a powerful chord on February 17th, 2026. This is no ordinary lunation; we are standing at the intersection of a Total Solar Eclipse, the Aquarius New Moon, and the electrifying arrival of the Lunar New Year: The Year of the Fire Horse. While our previous journey through the Snake year taught us the power of quiet transformation and shedding skins, the energy of 2026 is an explosion of heat, speed, and radical innovation. Aquarius, the 11th sign of the zodiac, is the visionary, the rebel, and the humanitarian. When the New Moon enters this air sign, it pushes us to step out of the “status quo” and into a future that we design ourselves.

This New Moon is a bold invitation to embrace your “weird,” your unique frequency, and your most revolutionary ideas. We are being asked to look at the collective and ask: How can I use my individual genius to help the world breathe again? With the added punch of an eclipse and the Fire Horse, the “go with the flow” energy of the past is being replaced by a “create the flow” mandate.

New Moon & Solar Eclipse: The Great Reset

Every month, the New Moon marks a beginning, but a Solar Eclipse (happening alongside this New Moon) is like a New Moon on cosmic steroids. Eclipses are “wild cards.” They act as sudden resets, often closing doors that were meant to be shut and blowing open windows of opportunity we didn’t even know existed.

In the dark of this New Moon, we aren’t just planting seeds; we are planting lightning bolts. The eclipse energy creates a “collapse of time,” where the intentions you set now can manifest with startling speed. This is a time to reflect, yes, but also a time to be incredibly precise. The universe is listening with a megaphone. Use this “void” to cleanse your energetic field of any lingering 2025 stagnation. Remember: an eclipse doesn’t just ask you to change; it often demands it.

The Solar Eclipse: Expect the Unexpected

A Total Solar Eclipse in the sign of the rebel (Aquarius) is like a cosmic “power surge.” The lights go out for a moment, and when they come back on, the room looks completely different. Because this is an Aquarius eclipse, the “resets” will likely happen in your social circles, your technology, and your long-term dreams.

My Master Rule for this Eclipse: Underschedule your Life. Eclipses are notorious for “fated” events—sudden endings or “lucky” breaks that feel like they came out of nowhere. If you have your day planned down to the minute, you won’t have room for the “Electric Surprise” the universe is trying to send you.

Do not try to manifest or “push” energy during the actual window of the eclipse. Instead, become a Stationary Observer. Watch who leaves your life. Watch what ideas suddenly feel “dead” to you. In the shadow of the eclipse, the truth is revealed without its “mask.” It is a time of The Great Severing. If something falls away tonight, let it go. The Fire Horse doesn’t look back at the dust it leaves behind; it only looks at the open road ahead.

The Year of the Fire Horse: 2026’s Wild Spirit

This New Moon marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and we are galloping out of the subtle, internal Year of the Snake and into the thunderous Year of the Fire Horse. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Fire Horse is a rare and legendary combination that occurs only once every 60 years.

The Fire Horse is characterized by unbridled passion, extreme independence, and a fierce “can-do” spirit. This is an “action” year. If the Snake was about planning and shedding, the Fire Horse is about the stampede toward freedom. * Dynamic Energy: Expect a year where things move fast. The Fire Horse doesn’t like to wait.

  • Social Revolution: Combined with Aquarius, this year is likely to see massive shifts in social justice, technology, and how we connect as a global community.
  • Personal Power: This is a year to be bold. The Fire Horse rewards those who are brave enough to lead and those who refuse to be tamed by outdated societal “rules.”

Who is the Water Bearer?

Aquarius is often mistaken for a water sign because of its symbol—the Water Bearer—but it is firmly an Air Sign. Aquarius represents the movement of Knowledge, Intellect, and Collective Consciousness. The Water Bearer is Ganymede, the youthful cupbearer to the gods. He pours out the “water” of wisdom and innovation to the parched lips of humanity. Aquarius is the scientist, the activist, and the eccentric aunt of the zodiac. It looks toward the horizon (the 11th house of hopes and dreams) and sees a world where equality and technology harmonize.

The Constellation of Aquarius: The Eagle and the Cupbearer

While we often focus on the Water Bearer pouring out wisdom, we cannot forget the “how” of the story. In Greek mythology, Ganymede—the most beautiful of mortals—didn’t walk to Mount Olympus; he was carried there in the talons of Zeus, disguised as a massive Eagle. This is the hidden “Air” medicine of Aquarius. It represents the Sudden Uplift. Just as the Eagle snatched Ganymede from his mundane life as a shepherd to serve the Gods, this New Moon and the Year of the Fire Horse act as our “Celestial Eagle.” They are here to pluck us out of our comfort zones and carry us to a higher perspective.

The Eagle represents the High Vision—the ability to see the entire landscape of your life from 30,000 feet. Combined with the Fire Horse, this is a call to rise above the petty dramas of the collective and look at the “Big Picture” of your evolution. Are you still herding sheep at the base of the mountain, or are you ready to fly? This month, the “Eagle” of the Eclipse may swoop down to change your life in an instant. Don’t fight the ascent. Trust the talons of change; they are carrying you to your rightful throne.

Themes for the Aquarius New Moon & Eclipse

This lunation is a electric invitation to step into a future defined by Radical Authenticity.

  • Innovation & Tech: Finding new solutions to old problems.
  • Collective Healing: Using your voice for those who have been silenced.
  • Rebellion with a Purpose: Breaking the rules that no longer serve the “greater good.”
  • Detached Logic: Being able to look at your life like a scientist to see what’s actually working.
  • The “Oddball” Factor: Celebrating the parts of you that don’t fit in.

What to be Cautious of

With the Fire Horse and an Eclipse in play, the shadow side is Impulsivity.

  • Arrogance: Avoid the “I know better than everyone” trap. True Aquarius energy is about collaboration, not a dictatorship.
  • Burnout: The Fire Horse energy is intense. If you try to sprint 24/7, you will crash. Grounding is your best friend this month.
  • Hastiness: Eclipses bring “fated” events. Try not to force a door open—if it’s meant for you, the Horse will carry you through it.
  • Emotional Detachment: Aquarius can sometimes be “all head and no heart.” Don’t forget to check in with your feelings while you’re busy saving the world.

Correspondences for the Aquarius New Moon

  • Planets: Uranus (Chaos/Change) and Saturn (Structure/Time).
  • Element: Air (The Breath of New Ideas).
  • Animals: The Horse (Strength/Speed), The Eagle (Vision), and the Phoenix (Rebirth from Fire).
  • Colors: Electric Blue, Silver, and Iridescent Violet.
  • Herbs/Flowers: Star Anise (for vision), Pine (for longevity), and Orchid (for uniqueness).
  • Stones: Amethyst, Moldavite (very potent for eclipses), Aquamarine, and Turquoise.
  • Deities: Prometheus (who brought fire to man), Athena (Wisdom), and The Fates (Eclipses).

How to Connect & Create Your Blueprint

  • The Future-Self Letter: Write a letter from yourself one year in the future. Describe the “Impossible” things you’ve achieved in the Year of the Fire Horse.
  • Tech-Magic: Use this time to clean your digital space. Delete old files, unfollow accounts that drain you, and “re-code” your social media to be a place of inspiration.
  • Fire & Ice Ritual: Light a gold candle (for the Horse/Sun) while sitting with a bowl of ice (for the winter dark). As the ice melts, visualize your old limitations dissolving into the heat of your new ambitions.
  • Astro-Travel Meditation: Join our DiviNation Academy LIVE for a journey into the “Hall of the Architect” to see your 2026 blueprints.
  • Community Service: In the spirit of Aquarius, do one thing for the collective. Donate, volunteer, or simply help a neighbor.

Shadow Work Questions for the Aquarius New Moon

  • The Saboteur’s Speed: Where am I rushing into “action” just to avoid the discomfort of being still with my own thoughts? Is my “Fire Horse” energy actually just anxiety in disguise?
  • The Eagle’s Eye: If I looked at my life from the Eagle’s perspective, which of my current “problems” would look like tiny, insignificant specks? What is the one thing that actually matters from up there?
  • The Rebellion Check: Am I rebelling against the “system” because I have a better vision, or am I just being contrary because I’m afraid of belonging to anything?
  • The Fated Exit: If the Eclipse were to remove one thing from my life tonight to make room for my 2026 legacy, what would I be most relieved to see go? (Be honest—the relief tells you it was a burden).
  • When do I hide my true self to “fit in” with the herd? What am I afraid will happen if I stand out?
  • Am I using my “independence” as an excuse to avoid intimacy or vulnerability?
  • What “status quo” in my personal life is actually a cage I built for myself?
  • If I weren’t afraid of being called “crazy,” what would I start creating today?
  • How can I balance my personal fire (Fire Horse) with my service to others (Aquarius)?

The Invocation of the Fire Horse

This is meant to be spoken with strength and pace. It is a call to action to welcome the first day of the Lunar New Year (February 17th).

“I stand at the threshold of the Great Gallop. I summon the spirit of the Fire Horse—the untamed flame, the swift wind, the heartbeat of the Sun. You who move through the world with speed and sovereignty, ignite my blood with your courage. I release the slow skin of the Snake; I shed the silence of the winter frost. I claim my place in the stampede of the new age.

Burn away my hesitation. Melt the chains of my ‘shoulds.’ Carry me across the horizon of the impossible. I am bold. I am independent. I am the driver of my own destiny. Under the shadow of the Eclipse and the light of the Fire, I run with the Horse toward a future I have chosen. The race is on, and I am already winning. And so it is”

The Aquarius Eclipse: “The Great Severing” Release

Because this is a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, the focus is on breaking collective conditioning and “fated” endings. Use this during your ritual to clear space before setting Horse-year intentions.

The Practice:

  1. The Visualization: Close your eyes and see yourself connected to a massive web—the “Collective Mind.” Notice the silver threads connecting you to old roles, outdated friend groups, or societal expectations that feel like heavy “roles” you have to play.
  2. The Severing: Imagine the Moon moving in front of the Sun, creating a “ring of fire” (the Annular Eclipse). Use that ring of fire as a cosmic blade.
  3. The Words: Speak these aloud as you visualize the threads being cut:

“In the shadow of the Sun, I see the truth. I sever the threads of obligation that no longer feed my soul. I release the role of the ‘People Pleaser.’ I release the mask of ‘Fitting In.’ I break the karmic loops of my ancestors that have kept me small. As the light dims, the old script dissolves. I am no longer a character in someone else’s story. I am the Architect. I am the Outsider. I am Free.”

  1. The Grounding: After the “cut,” place your hands on the floor. Imagine the excess “electric” energy of the Eclipse draining into the earth so you don’t “crash out” from the intensity.

Final Thoughts

The Aquarius New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse is a portal. As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, the universe is handing you the keys to the kingdom of the future. The old skins are gone; the rubble is cleared. Now, with the speed of the horse and the vision of the water-bearer, it is time to build a reality that reflects your highest truth.

The mountain is behind us; the horizon is before us. Will you gallop into the light?

The Capricorn New Moon: The Architect of Destiny and the Sacred Mountain

The first New Moon of the year arrives on Sunday, January 18, 2026, in the steadfast and ambitious sign of Capricorn. While the recent Wolf Moon had us looking inward at our emotional foundations, this New Moon shifts our gaze toward the horizon of our greatest ambitions. As the first lunar seeding point of 2026, this is the moment we stop dreaming about the future and start building the scaffolding to reach it.

This lunation activates the energy of the cardinal earth sign, Capricorn, bringing a grounding focus to themes of integrity, discipline, legacy, and long-term mastery. New Moons are a time of initiation and quiet planting; this one asks us to identify the “Mountain” we intend to climb this year and to commit to the steady, patient work required to reach the summit.

Let this Capricorn New Moon guide you to become the architect of your own destiny, honoring the wisdom of time and the power of a disciplined spirit as you lay the first stones of your 2026 legacy.

New Moon: The Silent Seed and the Void

Every month, the New Moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle, a time when the moon sits in darkness, invisible to the eye. This phase represents the void, the fertile soil, and the moment of pure potential. It is a sacred time for inward reflection and intention-setting, where the seeds we plant in the darkness of our spirit will eventually bloom under the light of the following full moon.

The New Moon is a call to begin again. It is the breath before the word, the stillness before the movement. Because this is the first New Moon of the calendar year, it carries the unique weight of “The Great Beginning.” It is the energetic launchpad for your entire 2026 timeline, urging you to get serious about your intentions and to ensure they are built on a foundation of truth rather than fleeting desire.

Capricorn: The Sign of the Mountain and the Mastery

Each new moon takes on the characteristics of the zodiac sign it inhabits. Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is ruled by Saturn, the planet of time, karma, and structure. Symbolized by the Sea-Goat—a creature with the tail of a fish to navigate deep emotional waters and the hooves of a goat to scale the highest peaks—Capricorn embodies the duality of spiritual depth and material mastery.

As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn is the initiator of tangible results. It doesn’t just want to talk about goals; it wants to see the blueprint, the budget, and the schedule. This sign governs the Tenth House of career, public reputation, and legacy, urging us to take responsibility for our lives and to act with the authority of someone who knows their worth and their purpose.

The Capricorn Constellation

In Greek mythology, Capricorn is linked to the god Pan, who is often depicted as partially goat-like. Pan is said to have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat. In one story, Pan dived into a river to escape the monster Typhon, but only transformed part of himself, becoming half goat and half fish. Zeus was amused by this and placed the image among the stars as the constellation Capricornus. The constellation is also sometimes associated with Amalthea, the goat that nursed Zeus after his mother saved him from his father, Cronos. Amalthea’s broken horn was transformed into the cornucopia, or “horn of plenty”.

Capricorn the mythical Seagoat

Capricorns are symbolized by the sea goat, a mythological creature with the body of a goat and tail of a fish. We often think of Capricorns as high achievers or business-oriented workhorses. This speaks to the goat aspect of their sea-goat symbol. Goats are scrappy, and some of them are capable of climbing to great heights. The fishtail portion of the sea-goat, on the other hand, holds the ocean and the vast, almost spiritual world that lies beneath it. This imagery speaks to Capricorn’s ability to navigate both the material and emotional realms. It’s the job of the Capricorn to strike a balance between these two realms of earthly achievements and spiritual truth.

The First New Moon of 2026: The Master Builder

The January New Moon is often called the “Initiator’s Moon.” Coming directly after the emotional release of the Wolf Moon, it serves as the cosmic “Monday morning” of the year. This name reminds us that true magic requires structure. While inspiration gets us started, it is the Capricornian qualities of persistence and discipline that actually bring our visions into physical reality.

The significance of this being the first New Moon of the year cannot be overstated. It acts as a Master Blueprint for the months to come. This is the moment to look at your New Year’s resolutions and strip away the ones that were made out of guilt or social pressure. Capricorn demands Integrity—only plant what you are actually willing to water, weed, and wait for. This is the moon for those ready to play the “Long Game” and build a life that lasts.

Themes of the Capricorn New Moon

This lunation brings the essential themes of discipline, authority, and legacy to the forefront, urging us to take command of our path with the maturity of a true master. Under this dark moon, we are invited to stop waiting for permission and to start acting as the primary authority in our own lives.

  • Radical Responsibility: This moon demands that we stop looking outward for excuses and start looking inward for solutions. Radical responsibility is the act of fully owning your current circumstances—even the ones that feel unfair—and realizing that you possess the sovereign power to change them through disciplined, consistent action. It is about shifting from a passive participant to the conscious creator of your reality, acknowledging that every choice you make today is a brick in the wall of your tomorrow.
  • Long-Term Strategy: Capricorn energy is the antithesis of the “quick fix.” This New Moon encourages us to lift our eyes from the immediate distractions of the day and shift our focus from “instant gratification” to “sustainable success.” It asks the piercing question: What will matter to you five years from now? By planning with a decade in mind rather than just a week, you align yourself with the slow, unstoppable power of the mountain, ensuring that the seeds you plant now have the root system necessary to weather any storm.
  • Boundaries as Power: In the realm of the Sea-Goat, a boundary is not a wall to keep people out, but a container to keep your magic in. This lunation teaches us to use the word “no” as a sacred tool of preservation, protecting our time, focus, and energy for the specific tasks that serve our ultimate summit. By setting firm limits on what (and who) gets access to your spirit, you create the quiet, concentrated environment required for true greatness to grow.
  • Integrity and Mastery: This is a call to move beyond “good enough” and strive for genuine excellence. Mastery is the result of honing your craft when no one is watching and ensuring that your external actions align perfectly with your internal values. This New Moon asks you to check the foundation of your intentions: are you building something that reflects your soul’s truth, or just something that looks good from the outside? True Capricorn mastery is found when your public reputation is a mirror of your private integrity.

What to Be Cautious Of

While Capricorn energy is incredibly productive, its shadow side can lead to coldness, perfectionism, or a “work-at-all-costs” mentality. Be wary of falling into the trap of Self-Criticism, where you judge your progress so harshly that you lose the joy in the journey. There is also a risk of Rigidity, where you become so focused on your “plan” that you stop listening to your intuition or the needs of your body. Lastly, beware of Status Obsession; ensuring your goals are born from your soul’s purpose rather than a desire to impress others or satisfy a “should.”

Shadow Work Questions

Use these prompts to journey into the darker, hidden corners of your ambition. Capricorn’s light is often sober and honest; use this moon to peel back the layers of your “public mask” and see what is truly driving your climb.

  • The Fear of the Summit: Where am I intentionally playing “small” or self-sabotaging because I am actually afraid of the weight of responsibility that comes with true success? Sometimes, we stay at the base of the mountain not because we lack the skill to climb, but because we aren’t sure we want to be the person who has to maintain the peak. Reflect on whether your “failures” are actually subconscious attempts to stay safe and hidden.
  • Decaying Structures: What “old structures,” outdated beliefs, or repetitive habits in my daily life am I still clinging to that actually block my ascent? We often try to build new lives on top of old, crumbling foundations. Identify the specific routines, relationships, or mental loops that have become too heavy to carry upward. What must be demolished so that a stronger scaffolding can be built?
  • The Wrong Mountain: Am I exhausting myself climbing a mountain that actually belongs to me, or am I trying to reach a summit that someone else—a parent, a partner, or society—chose for me? It is a tragedy to reach the top only to realize you don’t like the view. Dig deep into your motivations: Is your “ambition” fueled by your soul’s calling, or a desperate need for external validation and “status”?
  • The Chronos Connection: How can I cultivate a relationship with “Time” (ruled by Saturn/Chronos) that feels like a sacred partnership rather than a frantic race or a heavy burden? Many of us view time as an enemy to be beaten. Reflect on how you can shift into “deep time”—the understanding that things take exactly as long as they need to. Where are you rushing, and what would happen if you trusted the timing of your own evolution?
  • The Definition of Mastery: What does “Mastery” truly look like in my life, and what is the very first, smallest, most practical step I can take toward it today? Mastery is not a destination; it is a devotion to the process. Strip away the grand fantasies and look at the raw data of your life. What is one tiny, disciplined action you can commit to daily that will move the needle toward your legacy?

The Master Builder’s Prayer: An Invocation for Integrity

Beneath the first New Moon of 2026, I stand on the bedrock of my own potential.

I call upon the energy of the Architect and the wisdom of the Earth to guide my hand as I draft the blueprint for my year. I release the need for instant results and embrace the beauty of the long, steady climb. I honor the lessons of the past and the time it takes for greatness to take root.

I claim my authority. I claim my discipline. I claim my right to build a life that stands the test of time. May my boundaries be firm, my integrity be unshakable, and my spirit be as resilient as the mountain. I plant my intentions in this fertile darkness, knowing that with every patient step, I am already arriving.

And so it is.

Blueprint for Success Ritual

This ritual is designed to help you transition from the “dreaming” phase of the New Year into the “building” phase. It uses the element of Earth to solidify your intentions into the physical world.

Timing: Best performed on the night of January 18th, or within 48 hours of the New Moon. Tools Needed:

  • A piece of high-quality paper or cardstock.
  • A black pen (representing Saturn/Authority).
  • A small stone, rock, or crystal (Onyx, Obsidian, or even a pebble from your yard).
  • A single candle (Green for growth, Brown for grounding, or Black for protection).

Step 1: Clearing the Workspace

Before you begin, physically clear your desk or altar. Capricorn cannot build in chaos. Wipe down the surface with salted water or cedar smoke. Set your tools down intentionally. Light your candle and say:

“I clear the path for my highest work. I prepare the ground for my lasting legacy.”

Step 2: Drafting the Mountain (The Blueprint)

Sit in silence for a moment and visualize the “Mountain” of your 2026 goals. Don’t think about what you want; think about what you are willing to work for.

  • The Peak: On the top third of your paper, draw a large, bold triangle. At the very tip of this mountain, write your Primary Aim for the year in one clear sentence (e.g., “I am a successful, published author” or “I am financially sovereign and debt-free”).
  • The Foundation: Along the bottom edge of the triangle, write three Core Values. These are the “bedrock” that will keep you from falling when things get difficult. (Examples: Consistency, Integrity, Resilience).

Step 3: Laying the Stones (Practical Action)

Inside the belly of the mountain, draw three rectangular “Foundation Stones.” In each stone, write a practical, non-negotiable habit you will commit to during this lunar cycle.

  • Note: These shouldn’t be “results,” but “actions.” Instead of “lose weight,” write “walk for 20 minutes daily.” Instead of “make money,” write “spend one hour daily on my business plan.”

Step 4: The Stone Activation

Take your physical stone/crystal and hold it tightly in your dominant hand. Close your eyes and breathe into your Root Chakra (the base of your spine).

  • Visualize your goal at the peak of the mountain.
  • Feel the effort, the sweat, and the eventual triumph of the climb.
  • Transfer that energy—the grit and the determination—into the stone. Imagine the stone becoming incredibly heavy with the weight of your commitment.

Step 5: The Master Builder’s Invocation

While still holding the stone over your paper, recite the invocation with a firm, authoritative voice:

“I stand on the bedrock of my own potential. I am the Architect and the Builder. I release the fleeting and embrace the enduring. I honor the time it takes for greatness to take root. My boundaries are firm, my integrity is unshakable, and my spirit is as resilient as the mountain. As I lay this first stone, my ascent begins. And so it is.”

Step 6: Setting the Foundation

Place your paper on your altar or a safe shelf. Set the physical stone directly on top of the “Peak” you wrote. This “weights” your intention down into the physical realm.

Step 7: Closing and First Action

Extinguish your candle (don’t blow it out—snuff it, to keep the energy contained). To truly honor Capricorn, take one tiny, 5-minute action toward your goal immediately after finishing the ritual. Send that email, organize that one drawer, or write that first paragraph. This proves to the Universe you are ready to work.

Capricorn New moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the new moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, the energy of Capricorn we see duality not only in it’s symbol the sea goat but, also in one of the main themes Capricorn represents; ambition. The sea goat like we talked about earlier is a mythical being that literally represents the duality of the material realm and the emotional or mythical realm. Others even believe the sea goat represents the duality of human existence through evolution, starting in the sea and than moving upwards onto land. Than there is the duality of ambition. While ambition is a very wanted thing. It is pivotal to our motivation, getting things done, and thriving in our life. But, on the other hand it also can cloud our mind, narrow our view/vision, damage our relationships, and lead to burn out by not caring for ourselves properly.

Second, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

This new moon in Capricorn has another layer of duality with it being the last one of the year. This new moon in Capricorn ushers us across a threshold holding us in a unique pocket of liminal space. A pocket of time when we are still in one year but, just about to move to another year. From 2024 to 2025. From closing to opening. Ending to new beginning. Guiding us towards a new cycle and turning of the wheel to begin. Balancing us in both the seen and unseen, in frequency and matter, and the psychic and the physical as we do.

Final Thoughts for the Capricorn New Moon

As the first New Moon of 2026 fades into the stillness of the winter sky on January 18th, let it serve as a profound reminder that the climb itself is just as sacred as the summit. We often become so obsessed with the trophy at the top that we forget the character is forged in the ascent. This lunar cycle is a cosmic invitation to stop looking for shortcuts and instead pick up your tools with intention. It is a time to trust the quiet strength of your own bones and begin the patient, methodical work of building a life of substance—one that can withstand the winds of change because its foundations were laid in truth.

Under the velvet, dark sky of the Architect, you are being handed the silver pen to draft your own destiny. This is not a moment for fleeting wishes, but for deep, soul-level commitments. Use this “dark phase” of the moon to secure your boundaries, protect your vital energy from unnecessary distractions, and move into the remainder of the year with the steady, unyielding heart of a mountain. The void of the New Moon is not empty; it is a fertile space waiting for your command. How will you use this sacred silence to blueprint a legacy that outlasts the season and stands for years to come?

The New Moon in Sagittarius: Lighting the Path for 2026

The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 6:45 a.m. CST. This powerful lunation—the very last New Moon of the calendar year—falls in the sign of the Archer, inviting us to look far beyond our current horizon, fire our most ambitious intentions, and prepare for the journey of 2026.

This New Moon activates the energy of the mutable fire sign, Sagittarius, bringing a focused intensity to themes of expansion, truth, philosophy, travel, and optimism. New moons are always a time of fresh beginnings and planting seeds, and this one asks us to gather the spiritual lessons of 2025 and use them as fuel to launch the grandest, most optimistic vision for the year ahead.

Let this New Moon in Sagittarius guide you to ignite your wildest truth, define your personal philosophy, and launch the first arrow of 2026, ensuring your highest aspirations are clearly set before the Winter Solstice turns the wheel.

New Moon: What It Is and Why We Honor It

Every month, the new moon brings the lunar cycle to its deepest, darkest point, cloaking the night in an absence of visible light. This phase marks a time of genesis, intention-setting, and renewal. It is when the seeds of desire are quietly planted in the fertile darkness, initiating the growth that will culminate at the full moon.

The new moon is a sacred time to pause, look inward, and define the trajectory of the next 28 days—and in this case, the entire coming year. This isn’t just a celestial event—it’s a call to dream bravely and commit to the steps needed to expand your life beyond its current limits.

This Final New Moon in Sagittarius carries the unique magic of the year’s end, blending lunar genesis with the season’s call to plot our future adventures. It’s a time to set intentions that are expansive, honest, and philosophically sound.

Sagittarius: The Sign of Truth and Expansion

Each new moon is shaped by the zodiac sign it falls in. This New Moon in Sagittarius (expansion, adventure) is activated while the Sun is also in Sagittarius. Who is Sagittarius?

Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, spans November 22 to December 21, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, abundance, and higher learning. Symbolized by the Archer or the Centaur, Sagittarius embodies the quest for meaning, adventurous travel, and an unwavering commitment to truth. As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius is spirited, idealistic, and constantly moving toward a greater understanding. This sign governs the Ninth House of philosophy, long-distance travel, and higher education, urging us to define our personal belief system and live by it.

Sagittarius Energy in Myth and History

In mythology, the Centaur is often Chiron, the wise teacher and healer who guides heroes on their quests. This reflects the Sagittarian core theme: the integration of the raw, primal fire (the horse) with the clear-sighted, philosophical mind (the archer). The arrow symbolizes the direct trajectory of the spirit, always aimed toward a distant, noble goal—truth, freedom, or wisdom.

The Significance of the Final New Moon

As the last new moon of the 2025 calendar year, this lunation holds immense significance for intentional creation:

  • The Final Launchpad: This is your last, major spiritual opportunity to plant the seeds for the big, overarching themes of your 2026 journey. What belief or grand adventure do you want to define your new year?
  • Defining Your Philosophy: Sagittarius demands that we get honest about what we truly believe. The intentions set now are not just goals; they are a commitment to a higher code of conduct that will guide you through the next 12 months.
  • Igniting Optimism: This New Moon serves as an antidote to the winter gloom. Its fiery, Jupiter-ruled energy is fiercely optimistic, encouraging you to ignore doubt and aim your arrow at the impossible. Use this energy to feel excited about the path ahead.

Themes of the New Moon in Sagittarius

This Sagittarius New Moon brings themes of expansion, freedom, and truth, urging us to define our trajectory for the year ahead with boldness. We’ll feel a pull toward higher knowledge, travel, honest self-assessment, and optimistic belief.

  • Expansion: Setting intentions that require a major leap of faith or a significant growth period.
  • Truth/Honesty: Being radically honest about what you want and what you need to believe to get it.
  • Adventure/Travel: Dreaming up new experiences, literal or figurative journeys, and higher learning.
  • Belief: Committing to an optimistic, empowering philosophy that lifts you up.
  • Freedom: Releasing constraints, whether mental, physical, or spiritual, to live without limits.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Sagittarius New Moon

Sagittarius’s energy, when unchecked, can lead to over-promising, recklessness, or dogmatism. This New Moon might amplify a tendency toward self-righteousness, tactlessness, or a refusal to deal with necessary details.

Be wary of:

  • Tactless Truth: Sagittarius can speak its truth without care for others’ feelings. Ground your intention-setting in compassion.
  • Over-Idealization: Don’t shoot for goals so massive they bypass the necessary groundwork. Be idealistic, but anchor it with a first step.
  • Aversion to Detail: While your vision should be grand, remember that the Devil is in the details. Don’t ignore practical planning just to chase the big dream.

Sagittarius and The Quest

As a free witch, I cherish the relentless pursuit of meaning. Sagittarius embodies this—the light side is philosophical, generous, and inspiring; the shadow side is restless, judgmental, and commitment-phobic.

This New Moon demands that we align our quest with our current reality. What is the greatest spiritual adventure you can embark on in 2026? The task is to set a vision so compelling that the smaller struggles of the day become irrelevant, knowing they are just steps on the way to the ultimate prize.

The Archer’s Abundance Spell: Launching 2026 Wealth

This ritual utilizes the focused, aspirational energy of Sagittarius and the fertile darkness of the New Moon to clearly define and launch your intentions for abundance, wealth, and expansion in the coming year.

Best Performed: On Friday, December 19, 2025 (New Moon in Sagittarius).

I. Preparation: Gathering Your Tools

Gather these materials before you begin:

  • Candle: One Deep Blue (for Jupiter/Expansion) or Green (for Abundance) pillar candle.
  • Amulet: A piece of Turquoise, Amethyst, or Citrine (to hold your intention).
  • Incense/Herb: Sage (for clearing) and/or Nutmeg or Cinnamon (for luck and drawing wealth).
  • Paper & Pen: A clean sheet of paper and a pen with blue or gold ink.
  • A Single Coin: A shiny coin (representing financial wealth).
  • Focus Object: A small picture, symbol, or object representing your grand 2026 goal (e.g., a key to a new home, a globe for travel, or a picture of a desired business success).

II. Setting the Sacred Space

  1. Cleanse: Light your Sage and smudge your ritual space, moving the smoke clockwise. Say aloud: “I clear this space of all doubt, clutter, and limiting beliefs. Only clarity and abundance remain.”
  2. Ground: Sit comfortably. Hold your coin in your hands and focus on your breath. Visualize deep, earthy roots growing from your seat, grounding you while your mind (Sagittarius) reaches for the stars.
  3. Anoint the Candle: Take your blue or green candle. Using a safe oil (like olive or grapeseed), anoint it by rubbing the oil from the middle up (to draw things in) and then from the middle down (to draw things to you).
  4. Inscribe the Candle: Use a toothpick or sharp implement to carve your intention into the side of the candle. Use simple, powerful words like: PROSPERITY, ADVENTURE, EXPANSION, 2026 LUCK. Place your focus object next to the candle.

III. The Archer’s Abundance Launch Spell

This ritual focuses on aiming your energy directly at your goal.

  1. Writing the Intention Arrow (The Shaft):
    • Take your paper and pen. At the top, write a powerful statement beginning with the words: “For 2026, I am expanding…”
    • Write a list of at least nine specific, expansive, and ambitious intentions for abundance and growth in the new year. (Example: “I am expanding my income to $X amount.” “I am expanding my spiritual practice to include daily meditation.” “I am expanding my world through adventurous travel.”)
    • Be audacious! Sagittarius encourages you to aim high.
  2. The Archer’s Focus (The Draw):
    • Fold the paper three times toward you (to bring the intention closer). Place the paper beneath your candle.
    • Light the candle. As the flame catches, look into it and hold your coin and amulet in your non-dominant hand.
    • Close your eyes and visualize the coin transforming into a glowing, fiery arrow in your mind’s eye. This is your Sagittarian arrow of intent.
    • The Charge: Now, visualize yourself drawing the bowstring back, pulling the arrow tight, focusing all the year’s lessons, all your optimism, and all Jupiter’s luck into that single point of focus.
  3. The Launch (The Release):
    • Open your eyes and look at the flame. State the following incantation three times with deep conviction:

“By the darkness of the New Moon and the light of Jupiter’s grace, I define my vision for the year and claim my rightful place. This abundant arrow is forged in fire, aimed for 2026’s peak, All limiting stories are undone; my prosperous truth I now speak. I launch this wealth, I launch this joy, I launch this grand design, As the Archer aims for the horizon, so too, shall be mine. So Mote It Be!”

  1. The Sealing:
    • Hold your coin and amulet up to the candlelight, sealing your intentions within them.
    • Place the coin in your wallet or on your altar as a token of the energy you have launched. Carry the amulet with you daily.

IV. Closing and Integration

  • Meditation: Spend at least five minutes sitting in silence with the lit candle, feeling the expansive, optimistic energy of Sagittarius fill your space. Let your mind run free, dreaming without limits.
  • Let It Burn: Allow the candle to safely burn down completely (or snuff it and re-light it for nine days). As it burns, it sends your intent out to the universe.
  • Integrate: The Sagittarius lesson is about taking the first step on the journey. Before you leave your space, write down one small, actionable first step you can take tomorrow toward one of your big 2026 goals.

Your work is done. The arrow has been launched!

Final Thoughts for the New Moon in Sagittarius

As the final New Moon of 2025 in Sagittarius on December 19th blankets the night, let it be the moment you confidently launch your arrow into the darkness. This cycle invites you to define your core truth, set a vision that is expansive and bold, and commit to the spiritual adventure of the coming year.

Take this time to trust the wisdom you’ve gathered, embrace your innate optimism, and intentionally plant the seeds that will grow into the magnificent story of your 2026. How will you use the fertile darkness of this final New Moon to ignite your path?

New Moon in Virgo: Harvesting Clarity and Sacred Service

The new moon in Virgo on August 23rd, 2025, arrives with a crisp, earthy energy that sharpens our focus and invites us to align with purpose, precision, and service. This new moon, coinciding with the start of Virgo season—the sun’s entry into Virgo on the same day—marks a powerful threshold, blending the lunar reset with the zodiac’s call to harvest clarity and cultivate order from chaos. As a time to set intentions and plant seeds for the future, this Virgo new moon offers a sacred opportunity to refine our lives, honor our inner critic with love, and step into acts of service that heal the world. For me, this moon resonates under Minnesota’s late August skies, echoing my recent meditations on transformation as I prepare for my 33rd year, the Serpent’s Ascent, on September 7th.

Virgo is the sign of the healer, the organizer, and the devoted servant, ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect. This new moon encourages us to turn inward with discernment, refine our skills, and embrace the beauty of imperfection in our pursuit of growth. As Virgo season begins, we’re invited to ground our intentions in practical action, blending earthy stability with a spiritual quest for wholeness. Let this New Moon in Virgo guide you to harvest clarity, nurture your gifts, and serve with a heart full of grace, aligning with the cycles that shape our sacred journey.

New Moon: What It Is and Why We Honor It

Every month, the new moon ushers in a fresh cycle, a moment to pause, reflect, and plant intentions for the weeks ahead. This lunar phase, shrouded in darkness, is a sacred time to cleanse your energy, set goals, and align your actions with your soul’s purpose. The new moon isn’t just a celestial event—it’s a call to pair intention with effort, weaving emotion and practicality into a tapestry of manifestation. Historically, our ancestors revered this phase as a time of renewal, using the quiet night to plan and restore, much like the seasonal shifts that guide our lives.

This Virgo new moon, arriving as Virgo season begins, carries a unique magic, blending lunar renewal with the sun’s earthy influence. It’s a time to harvest the lessons of summer and prepare for the introspective fall, a process I feel deeply as I meditate on my own growth. To explore more about working with new moons, visit my previous post here. For a deeper lunar dive, check my guide here or my YouTube class with Divination Academy here.

Virgo: The Sign of Clarity and Service

Each new moon is shaped by its zodiac sign, and this Virgo new moon brings the earthy, analytical energy of the Virgin. Who is Virgo?

Virgo, the sixth sign of the zodiac, spans August 23 to September 22, ruled by Mercury, the messenger of intellect and communication. Symbolized by the Virgin holding a sheaf of wheat, Virgo embodies precision, service, and a quest for perfection. As an earth sign with a mutable quality, Virgo adapts and refines, offering practicality and a healing touch. This sign governs the sixth house of health, work, and daily routines, urging us to align our lives with purpose.

Virgo Constellation

The Virgo constellation, visible in the northern hemisphere during spring and summer, is one of the largest, with its brightest star, Spica, marking the wheat sheaf. Ancient Babylonians saw it as a goddess of fertility, while Greeks linked it to Astraea, the goddess of justice, who fled to the stars as humanity declined. This celestial maiden reflects Virgo’s dual nature—service and discernment—a light I feel as I prepare for my 33rd year.

Virgo Energy in Myth and History

In mythology, Virgo’s roots tie to Astraea, who brought order but retreated as chaos grew, a tale of service amid imperfection. In ancient Egypt, she was linked to Isis, the healer, mirroring Virgo’s nurturing side. This history resonates with my love for Virgo’s energy, a sign that heals and organizes, even under scrutiny.

Why I Love the Moon in Virgo

I adore when the moon graces Virgo, especially this new moon on August 23rd, because I am a Virgo myself, born under its meticulous and nurturing energy. This connection runs deep—not only do I carry Virgo’s essence, but astrologically, Virgo occupies nearly all my houses except three, weaving its influence into every facet of my life. From my first house of self to my tenth of career, Virgo shapes my identity, work, and service, a constant thread as I craft rituals and guide others. This new moon feels like a homecoming, a moment to honor my roots and refine my path toward my 33rd year, the Serpent’s Ascent.

This alignment enhances my intuition and practicality, a dance I’ve honed through years of shadow work and spellcraft. As Virgo season begins, I feel its energy amplify my desire to serve, to heal, and to perfect my craft, a light that shines brighter with each lunar cycle. On August 23rd, I’ll sit with this energy, letting it guide my intentions for growth and connection.

Defending Virgo’s Misunderstood Energy

Virgo often gets so much hate, and honestly, it’s one of the most maligned signs of the zodiac for its energy and reputation. People label Virgos as nitpicky, overly critical, or cold, missing the heart that beats beneath the surface. This criticism stings, especially for me as a Virgo, who’s felt the weight of perfectionism but also its gifts. Yet, this hate overlooks how much we need Virgo—its meticulous care, its quiet service, its dedication to making the world better. Virgos are the unsung heroes, the ones tending to the sick, organizing chaos, and holding space for others, often without recognition.

In a world of excess, Virgo’s precision is a balm, a light that keeps us grounded. Think of the nurses, teachers, and healers—many are Virgos, their earthy energy stitching society together. As I prepare for my 33rd year, I see Virgo’s role in my own service, a reminder that its so-called flaws are strengths. This new moon invites us to honor Virgo’s gifts, to see the love in its labor, and to celebrate the caretakers who sustain us all.

Themes of the Virgo New Moon

This Virgo new moon brings themes of clarity, service, and refinement, urging us to align our intentions with practical action. We’ll feel a pull to organize our lives, hone our skills, and serve others with intention. This moon, starting Virgo season, is a time to harvest mental clarity, embrace imperfection, and step into our roles as healers.

  • Clarity: Sharpen your focus and set precise intentions.
  • Service: Offer your gifts to the world with love.
  • Refinement: Polish your skills and release what’s unnecessary.
  • Health: Tend to your body and mind with care.
  • Order: Create structure in your daily life.
  • Growth: Cultivate personal and spiritual development.
  • Humility: Embrace the beauty of imperfection.
  • Purpose: Align your actions with your soul’s calling.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Virgo New Moon

Virgo’s energy, while grounding, can tip into overanalysis or self-criticism, risking perfectionism that stalls progress. This new moon might amplify a tendency to nitpick or neglect self-care in pursuit of order. Be wary of isolating yourself in your quest for control—balance your discernment with compassion. As someone who’s wrestled with Virgo’s intensity, I’ve learned to soften its edge with love, a lesson I carry into my 33rd-year preparations.

This moon also calls for harmony between detail and vision. While Virgo thrives on specifics, don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Ground your intentions with action, but let intuition guide, especially as Virgo season begins.

Virgo and Duality

As a free witch, I cherish the duality in every energy, and Virgo is no exception. On one side, Virgo is precise, analytical, and service-oriented, offering a foundation for growth and a love for detail. This energy heals through order and care, a light I feel in my own craft. On the other, Virgo can be overly critical or rigid, sometimes leading to self-doubt or burnout. This duality teaches us that perfection is a journey, not a destination—a balance I’ve sought through my life’s trials.

The new moon embodies this liminal space, a blend of ending and beginning, shadow and light. As Virgo season starts, this moon invites us to harmonize Virgo’s strengths with its shadows, refining our path with grace.

New Moon in Cancer: Nurturing the Soul’s Depths

The new moon in Cancer on June 25, 2025, flows in with a tender, watery energy that soothes our hearts and invites us to dive into the realms of nurturing, intuition, and emotional connection. This new moon, cradled in the sensitive, protective, and deeply feeling water sign of Cancer, offers a sacred moment to plant seeds of self-care, family bonds, and inner security in our lives. New moons are always a time to start afresh, set intentions, and envision your future—but this Cancer new moon, arriving as we bask in the afterglow of the summer solstice on June 20, becomes a powerful opportunity to embrace vulnerability and honor the flow of emotions. For me, this moon resonates deeply with my recent shadow work under Minnesota’s warm June skies, continuing the theme of aligning with nature’s cycles and finding harmony in emotional depth.

Cancer is all about nurturing, intuition, and the sanctuary of home. This new moon encourages us to turn inward, protect our emotional space, and embrace the cycles of care within us. As a sign ruled by the Moon itself, Cancer reminds us to trust our instincts, seek comfort, and connect with our roots. This new moon is the time to tap into the most compassionate, intuitive version of yourself—the one that whispers, “I am worthy of love and security.” Let this New Moon in Cancer cradle you in the tides of transformation, helping you manifest a life of emotional richness, familial harmony, and soulful sanctuary.

New Moon: What It Is and Why We Honor It

Every month, the new moon ushers us into a fresh cycle, a moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions. Before we dive into Cancer’s watery magic, let’s ground ourselves in the essence of the new moon itself. This lunar phase is a time to cleanse your energy, set intentions for the cycle ahead, and plant the seeds of what you wish to manifest. But intentions alone aren’t enough—you must pair them with action and emotion to bring them to life. The new moon supports you in this process, offering a fertile space for new beginnings, healing, and growth.

Historically, our ancestors honored the new moon as a time of rest and renewal, using the darkness of the night sky to reflect and plan, much like they did during seasonal shifts. Think of your intentions as seeds you’re planting now, to be nurtured over the lunar cycle and harvested by the full moon.

Cancer: The Sign of Nurturing and Intuition

Each new moon is amplified by the zodiac sign it occupies, and this time, we’re blessed with the tender, emotional energy of Cancer. So, who is Cancer?

Cancer, symbolized by the Crab, is the fourth sign of the zodiac, governing those born between June 21 and July 22. As a water sign ruled by the Moon, Cancer embodies nurturing, intuition, and a deep connection to home—think cozy evenings, family gatherings, or the comfort of a safe haven. Cancer energy is sensitive, protective, and cyclical, encouraging us to honor our emotions and build security. It’s a cardinal sign, meaning it initiates action, making it a perfect guide for nurturing new emotional foundations.

Cancer Constellation

Cancer is a faint constellation in the northern sky, visible in the evening during late winter and spring. The constellation is symbolized by the Crab, linked to the myth of Hercules and the Hydra, where the crab was sent by Hera to distract Hercules during his labors. Its history traces back to ancient Mesopotamia, where it was associated with a turtle or scarab, symbols of protection, and later adopted by the Greeks. Cancer sits near Gemini and Leo, with its brightest star, Acubens, marking the crab’s body.

In Greek mythology, the Cancer constellation commemorates the crab that bit Hercules’ foot during his battle with the Hydra. Sent by Hera, the crab was crushed by Hercules but honored by the goddess with a place in the sky. This tale reflects Cancer’s protective nature, even in sacrifice. In other cultures, the Aboriginal Australians saw the stars as a water container, guiding seasonal rains, while Babylonian mythology linked Cancer to the god Sin, ruler of the moon, emphasizing emotional tides.

Cancer: The Sign of Emotional Sanctuary

Cancer is the embodiment of watery sanctuary, ruled by the Moon, the planet of emotions, intuition, and cycles. This sign revels in the emotional world—think heartfelt conversations, home-cooked meals, and the warmth of loved ones. Cancer energy is compassionate, intuitive, and deeply tied to the heart, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and connect with our roots. As a cardinal water sign, Cancer is the tide of the zodiac, offering initiation, emotional depth, and a knack for creating safe spaces.

This new moon in Cancer is a time to embrace your inner caregiver, planting seeds that will grow into emotional security and intuitive wisdom. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, invites us to focus on self-love, family, and the sanctuary within. We may feel a surge of desire to nurture ourselves, protect our boundaries, and express our feelings freely. Use this energy to heal your heart, to seek comfort, and to cultivate a sense of harmony that flows through your emotional and domestic life.

Cancer: The Sign of Protection and Cycles

Cancer rules the fourth house in astrology, often called the house of home, family, and roots. This house governs our sense of security, our ancestral ties, and our innermost sanctuary, reflecting our ability to nurture and be nurtured. Cancer, as the ruler of this house, teaches us that true strength comes from emotional resilience and honoring our cycles. This sign encourages us to value our intuition, to celebrate our protective instincts, and to create a life that reflects emotional richness.

Cancer energy is a reminder that we are cyclical, capable of flowing with life’s tides. It’s the sign that helps us cultivate a strong sense of home, grounded in love rather than fear. During this new moon, focus on what soothes your soul, connects you to your roots, and invites you to heal. Cancer invites us to build a life that feels rich in every sense—emotionally, domestically, and spiritually.

Themes of the Cancer New Moon

Every new moon carries themes tied to its zodiac sign, and this Cancer new moon is all about nurturing, intuition, and protection. We’ll feel a deep pull to turn inward, to care for our emotional needs, and to embrace the cycles within us. This new moon is about planting seeds for self-love, strengthening family ties, and honoring the flow of intuition. If you’ve been neglecting your heart or resisting vulnerability, this is your cosmic invitation to nurture yourself and create a safe space.

  • Nurturing: Tend to your emotional and physical well-being with care.
  • Intuition: Trust your gut and listen to your inner voice.
  • Protection: Safeguard your heart and home with loving boundaries.
  • Cycles: Honor the ebb and flow of your emotions and life.
  • Family: Strengthen bonds with loved ones or your inner family.
  • Security: Build a sanctuary that reflects your soul’s needs.
  • Healing: Release past hurts through emotional release rituals.
  • Home: Create a cozy space to recharge and reflect.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Cancer New Moon

While Cancer energy is nurturing and intuitive, it can also lead to moodiness and over-sensitivity. Cancer’s deep emotions might make us cling to the past or become overly protective, risking emotional overwhelm. Be mindful of retreating too far into your shell—balance your self-care with openness to the world. Additionally, Cancer’s focus on home can tip into isolation, so nurture your connections while honoring your need for solitude.

This new moon also calls for balance between intuition and logic. While Cancer thrives on feelings, don’t ignore practical steps to support your intentions. As I’ve learned through my own journey with June’s warmth, there’s magic in trusting your heart—but wisdom grows when we ground our emotions with action, even amidst Cancer’s tides. Use this energy to heal, but stay engaged with your path.

Cancer and Duality

As a grey witch, I always seek the duality in every energy I work with, including the new moon and the zodiac sign it occupies. Let’s explore the duality of Cancer. On one hand, Cancer is nurturing, intuitive, and protective, offering a compassionate foundation for growth and a deep appreciation for emotional connection. This energy is perfect for healing, building security, and embracing vulnerability. On the other hand, Cancer can be moody and clingy, sometimes leading to emotional stagnation or over-dependence. This duality reminds us that while sensitivity is a gift, we must also release what no longer serves to create emotional freedom.

The new moon itself is a liminal space, embodying duality through its balance of light and shadow. It’s a time of beginnings, but those beginnings are born from endings—a cycle of death and rebirth. Just as I found harmony in Minnesota’s June duality, connecting with the shifting energies of nature, this Cancer new moon invites us to find balance between nurturing and letting go, between protection and openness.

Anchor into the Earth’s Embrace for Security and Pleasure Under the Taurus New Moon

The new moon in Taurus on April 27, 2025, arrives to bathe us in a grounding, sensual energy that invites us to root deeply into the earth and cultivate lasting abundance. This new moon, nestled in the steadfast, nurturing, and pleasure-seeking earth sign of Taurus, offers a sacred moment to plant seeds of stability, self-worth, and beauty in our lives. New moons are always a time to start fresh, set intentions, and envision your future—but this Taurus new moon, coming just after Earth Day, doubles as a powerful opportunity to connect with the natural world and honor your own worth. For me, this moon feels especially significant after my recent journey of embracing winter’s magic in Minnesota, as it continues the theme of aligning with nature’s cycles and finding peace in stillness.

Taurus is all about grounding, luxury, and the appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. This new moon encourages us to slow down, savor the moment, and build a foundation for long-term growth. As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus reminds us to prioritize self-care, indulge in sensory delights, and cultivate a deep sense of self-worth. This new moon is the time to connect with the most stable, abundant version of yourself—the one that makes you think, “I am worthy of all the beauty and richness life has to offer.” Let this New Moon in Taurus anchor you in the earth’s embrace, helping you manifest a life of security, pleasure, and enduring growth.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the new moon ushers us into a fresh cycle, a moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions. Before we dive into Taurus’s earthy magic, let’s ground ourselves in the essence of the new moon itself. This lunar phase is a time to cleanse your energy, set intentions for the cycle ahead, and plant the seeds of what you wish to manifest. But intentions alone aren’t enough—you must pair them with action and energy to bring them to life. The new moon supports you in this process, offering a fertile space for new ideas, beginnings, and growth.

Historically, our ancestors honored the new moon as a time of rest and renewal, using the darkness of the night sky to reflect and plan, much like they did during seasonal shifts. Think of your intentions as seeds you’re planting now, to be nurtured over the lunar cycle and harvested by the full moon. Each new moon carries its own unique magic, influenced by the zodiac sign it falls in. To learn more about working with the new moon, check out my previous blog post here. For a deeper dive into lunar magic, explore my comprehensive guide here, or watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

Taurus: The Sign of Grounding and Abundance

Each new moon is amplified by the zodiac sign it occupies, and this time, we’re blessed with the steady, sensual energy of Taurus. So, who is Taurus?

Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is the second sign of the zodiac, governing those born between April 20 and May 20. As an earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus embodies stability, beauty, and a deep connection to the physical world. It’s the sign of the gardener, the artist, and the lover of life’s pleasures—think blooming flowers, a warm meal, or the feel of soft grass beneath your feet. Taurus energy is slow, deliberate, and deeply rooted, encouraging us to build solid foundations for our dreams. It’s also a fixed sign, meaning it’s all about perseverance, loyalty, and seeing things through to the end.

Taurus Constellation

Taurus is one of largest constellations in the northern sky. The constellation is symbolized by the bull’s head. Not only that it is one of the oldest constellations and one of the first ones to spoken and written about. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age .It sits in the evening sky close to the famous constellation Orion and it includes a famous star cluster the pleidess.

According to Greek mythology, the constellation Taurus was placed in the sky by the god Zeus. That’s because Zeus changed himself into a beautiful white Bull to win the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa. After Europa hopped onto the Bull’s back, the Bull swam across the Mediterranean Sea, taking Europa all the way to the island of Crete. Later, Zeus and Europa became the parents of Minos, the legendary king of Crete. In another Greek myth, Zeus’s wife, Juno, changed her lover, Io, into a heifer or bull to hide her from Zeus

Meanwhile, the Zuni of New Mexico used the Pleiades cluster as an agricultural calendar. When the Pleiades – which the Zuni called the Seed Stars – disappeared into the western dusk in spring, they knew it was safe to plant their seeds, as the danger of frost had passed.

Now for the oldest myth I can find. In Babylonian mythology, the bull was known as the Heavenly Bull, or MUL.APIN. This constellation is connected to the story of Gilgamesh. He was the king of the Sumerian city state of Uruk. In the book The Epic of Gilgamesh, the king has to fight the Heavenly Bull. This animal was sent by the goddess Ishtar to kill Gilgamesh. She was so angry at him for not falling for her advances that she thought he deserved to die. Gilgamesh is considered to be represented by the constellation Orion, which is right next to Taurus. The story goes that they are still fighting their battle in the skies.

Taurus: The Sign of Sensuality and Stability

Taurus is the embodiment of earthy sensuality, ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. This sign revels in the material world—think lush gardens, fine fabrics, and the scent of blooming flowers. Taurus energy is grounded, patient, and deeply connected to the body, encouraging us to slow down and savor life’s delights. As a fixed earth sign, Taurus is the rock of the zodiac, offering stability, reliability, and a steadfast commitment to growth.

This new moon in Taurus is a time to embrace your inner gardener, planting seeds that will grow into lasting abundance. Taurus, ruled by Venus, invites us to focus on self-love, beauty, and the creation of a secure foundation. We may feel a surge of desire to nurture ourselves, to indulge in sensory pleasures, and to build a life that feels both luxurious and stable. Use this energy to root deeply into your values, to honor your worth, and to cultivate a sense of peace that withstands life’s storms.

Taurus: The Sign of Self-Worth

Taurus rules the second house in astrology, often called the house of values and possessions. This house governs our relationship with money, self-worth, and the material world, reflecting how we build security and abundance in our lives. Taurus, as the ruler of this house, teaches us that true abundance begins with self-worth. This sign encourages us to value ourselves deeply, to recognize our inherent worth, and to create a life that reflects that value.

Taurus energy is a reminder that we are enough, just as we are. It’s the sign that helps us cultivate a strong sense of self-esteem, grounded in authenticity rather than external validation. During this new moon, focus on what makes you feel worthy, secure, and connected to your body and the earth. Taurus invites us to build a life that feels rich in every sense—emotionally, spiritually, and materially.

Themes of the Taurus New Moon

Every new moon carries themes tied to its zodiac sign, and this Taurus new moon is all about grounding, abundance, and self-worth. We’ll feel a deep pull to slow down, to root into the present moment, and to nurture ourselves with intention. This new moon is about building a foundation for lasting growth, indulging in life’s pleasures, and honoring our inherent value. If you’ve been neglecting your needs or doubting your worth, this is your cosmic invitation to prioritize yourself and create a life that feels secure and beautiful. Keep in mind that this new moon follows Earth Day, amplifying its earthy energy and encouraging us to deepen our connection with nature.

  • Grounding: Anchor yourself in the present and connect with the earth’s stability.
  • Abundance: Plant seeds for financial, emotional, and spiritual prosperity.
  • Self-Worth: Recognize your value and build a life that reflects it.
  • Sensuality: Indulge in sensory pleasures and honor your body.
  • Stability: Create a solid foundation for your dreams.
  • Patience: Embrace the slow, steady pace of growth.
  • Beauty: Surround yourself with beauty and create a life that feels luxurious.
  • Nurturing: Care for yourself and your environment with love.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Taurus New Moon

While Taurus energy is grounding and nurturing, it can also lead to stubbornness and resistance to change. Taurus loves comfort and stability, which might make us cling to old habits or routines, even when they no longer serve us. Be mindful of becoming too rigid—allow yourself to adapt and grow while staying rooted in your values. Additionally, Taurus’s love of luxury can tip into overindulgence, so balance your desire for pleasure with mindfulness and moderation.

This new moon also calls for balance between stability and growth. While Taurus encourages us to build a solid foundation, don’t let that anchor you into stagnation. Use this energy to create security, but remain open to new possibilities. As I’ve learned through my own journey with winter’s stillness, there’s magic in slowing down—but growth often requires us to step beyond our comfort zone, even in small ways.

Taurus and Duality

As a grey witch, I always seek the duality in every energy I work with, including the new moon and the zodiac sign it occupies. Let’s explore the duality of Taurus. On one hand, Taurus is nurturing, sensual, and grounded, offering a stable foundation for growth and a deep appreciation for life’s pleasures. This energy is perfect for cultivating self-worth, building abundance, and rooting into the present moment. On the other hand, Taurus can be stubborn and resistant to change, sometimes leading to stagnation or an overattachment to material comforts. This duality reminds us that while stability is essential, we must also remain flexible to evolve.

The new moon itself is a liminal space, embodying duality through its balance of light and shadow. It’s a time of beginnings, but those beginnings are born from endings—a cycle of death and rebirth. Just as I learned to embrace winter’s stillness as a precursor to spring’s renewal, this Taurus new moon invites us to find harmony between grounding and growing, between indulgence and discipline.

First, what is a correspondence? Correspondences are items or symbols that connect you to a specific energy, honoring and venerating it through representation.

Ignite a fire of change and a passionate pursuit of our goals with the Aries new moon and solar eclipse

The new moon in March is set to ignite the night sky with the passionate energy allowing us to met any challenge and obstacle with determination. This new moon occupied by a solar eclipse is here to challenge your comfort zone, push you toward growth, and help you step into a more authentic version of yourself. This new moon we will find ourselves in the headstrong, motivated, energetic, confident, independent, and passionate fire sign of the ram, Aries. New moons are an opportunity to start fresh, plant seeds, and envision your future—and this month’s new moon in Aries happens to be the first new moon of the astrological year. In other words? Consider it time to set your “New Year’s” resolutions for the astrological year. For me this is the third time during the year I set year long resolutions. This moon in particular means really big change, taking big, bold, brave steps towards the life your truly want to live.

Aries is full of energy, enthusiasm, and spunk, and wants to get things going. The new moon in Aries is an opportune time to initiate change, take action towards goals, and renew oneself. Aries is also the sign of Self, which means you get to be a little bit selfish during this new moon phase. During this new moon in Aries, it’s time for you to focus on yourself and be willing to face change head on without hesitation in your mind or fear in your heart. This new moon is the time to connect with your highest, best, most amazing version of you – the one that makes you think “holy sh*t I can’t believe this is my life.” Let this new Moon in Aries ignite a fiery burst of energy within you. Allow it to start a bright, burning, raging fire of change, and a passionate pursuit of our goals.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we ignite our passion and take determined action with the Aries new moon. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

The Solar eclipse energy

Before we talk about the ram and the Aries energy the new moon is going to be in we have another energy to talk about. The solar eclipse that will be taking place as well. So what is a solar eclipse?  A Solar Eclipse appears when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking out the light of the Sun. It’s considered to be three times more potent than a regular New Moon because it’s happening in close proximity to the Lunar Nodes of Destiny. During a solar eclipse symbolically, the energies associated with the Moon eclipse those of the Sun, so that feelings and emotions dominate over the ego and the will.

Beyond its astronomical wonder, the solar eclipse holds spiritual significance for many. It symbolizes a time of darkness and spiritual renewal, offering an opportunity for introspection and the shedding of old energies. In astrology, the eclipse signifies the darkness of the ego and the potential for spiritual rebirth, marking a moment to release past patterns and embrace new perspectives.

Eclipses bring about energy of great change meant to shake things up. To create an intense time of great transformation, rebirth, and growth. A solar eclipse specifically is a time of new beginnings, taking initiative, and starting brand new things like jobs, businesses, projects, and relationships. This energy is all about change, transformation, good luck, growth, and abundance. This energy is known to change the wheel of fate and awaken things for us. Despite the fated nature, Eclipses should not be feared but welcomed as a source of evolutionary change that leads to a powerful yet often uncomfortable, and even painful transformation

Who is Aries?

Like, I said before each new moon will be amplified and influenced by the zodiac sign we find it in and this time the new moon is in the sign of Aries. So who is Aries?

Aries symbolized by the ram is the first sign of the zodiac which makes it the go-getter of the Zodiac. People born between March 21st and April 19th are considered Aries. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries symbolizes new beginnings, assertiveness, and the pursuit of our passions. It’s ruled by Mars, the God of war, making the ram a fearless fighter. Aries is a fire sign, and its energy is passionate, dynamic, and driven. Through the sign of the Ram, we tap into our inner fire, embody our inner warrior, and work on developing a conscious relationship with our anger. Aries is the sign to commit to personal goals and have the fiery motivation to see them through to the end. Aries is the sign to connect us with our capacity to be the leaders of our lives, to take paths that no one ever walked before, to go toward the direction that instinctively calls to us. Aries, is known to be a little bit faster to react because, they are more intrigued by doing something they’ve never done before. Being ruled by mars Aries is much more willing to take a risk or take a gamble by pushing into the unknown and usually being the first one to do it as well.

Aries Constellation

Aries is one of the smallest constellations of the zodiac sitting in Northern sky. This constellation is located between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. The constellation has been associated with a ram since ancient times. In ancient Babylon, the Aries star constellation was known by the name CHUN-GA, or Aries. Also, the Persians, the ancient Egyptians, and the Minoans called it ‘Aries’ as well. Ultimately, by way of Greece, the constellation came to Rome, where astronomers gave it the Latin name ‘Aries’; meaning ram.

I find that Aries has one of the largest varieties of legends and myths about it’s placement in the skies and it’s association with the ram. One of the simplest and most commonly known legends attributes the name of the constellation to Zeus, who turned into a ram while fleeing the overpowering Titans which is why the image was place amongst the stars.

In another, less well known telling of the Aries constellation myth, a Roman writer Hygenius describes how Bacchus aka Dionysus (greek), the god of wine, together with his cheerful entourage, unexpectedly lost his way in the vastness of the Libyan Desert. In this dry wasteland, they were soon plagued by terrible thirst. Fortunately, they met a friendly ram that led Bacchus and his party to a source of water, saving them from certain death. In gratitude, Bacchus placed the ram amongst the stars in the heavens for all eternity.

In the most well known Aries constellation myth of Greek origin, King Athamas appointed his eldest son Phrixos as his heir to the throne. His current wife, Ino, however, wanted to see her own son named the heir. For this reason, the queen devised a plan to cause the crops of their land to not flourish and grow. She let the seed rot and spoil, so when they were planted the following year they would not be able to grow.

Once the crops that season had failed to grow she convinced her husband, the king to consult an oracle that she had visited prior and had under her control. He was told that if he wanted to avoid another crop failure in the following year, he would have to sacrifice his son Phrixos; the one he had named as his heir.

The king had agreed but, on the day of the offering, a magnificent ram, summoned by Nephele (Phrixos’s biological mother) appeared in a shining golden fleece. Phrixos and his sister, Helle, swiftly mounted the ram’s back and flew away. But high above the strait separating Europe and Asia, Helle fell into the sea, where she drowned. The ram flew on with Phrixos on his back to the land of Colchis, where the boy was well received. Upon the Ram’s wish as a thanks for his service; Phrixos sacrificed him to the gods where he now resides in the heavens among the stars for all eternity.

Aries The Primal Sign Of Passion

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac which means it is the big bang, our life force, the element of fire, primal passion, anger, rage, and ruled by Mars the God of War- this sign is the sign of life itself. It is the spark needed to light the tinder for existence to evolve. It is our will to persist no matter what obstacles are in our way. This sign is a Cardinal sign which means it is a leader, an initiator, and a visionary of the cosmos.

This new Moon is a time to embrace our inner warrior. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, passion, and aggression. During this full Moon, we may feel a surge of energy, passion, and assertiveness. We can use this energy to break free from old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. We can assert our boundaries, speak our truth, and take action toward our deepest desires with the flames of burning passion.

Aries The Sign Of Independence

This sign is also a sign of independence which means it’s a time to focus on what YOU really truly want for YOU and not for others. You will feel many things coming up for you that may surprise you especially if you are a people pleaser. The energy of Aries really pushes you to think about what makes YOU and YOU alone happy and whole. One of Aries’ “lessons” is to show a pure part of ourselves to the world. By acting upon our own inner impulses (constructive ones!) without fear, and by abandoning the need to refine these impulses based on what others might want us to do or what others think we “should” do, we learn more about ourselves. If we learn to depend on ourselves, we exude an all-new aura of strength that comes from personal integrity and confidence, and strength.

Aries the sign of action

Aries is the zodiac sign of action, as it is associated with initiation, taking the lead, and making a mark on the world. Aries draws fire into the atmosphere, stimulating life force and vitality pushing us into action. Aries it the energy that lights the fire in our soul driving us to make our mark on the world. Aries teaches us that courage is the key to unlocking our full potential. And that comes from connecting your head to your heart, focusing your will, and taking consistent action. Aries is a cardinal sign, which means it is associated with taking the lead and driving change. Aries is nothing if not bold, preferring to act first and think later never hesitating to step into the unknown.

Aries the ruler of self

Since Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is also the ruler of the first house in astrology. Which is often called the house of self. In this house you are given a window into understanding more about your outward appearance, traits, characteristics, outlook, and sense of expression. This house is the location of your ascendant or rising sign, which speaks to how you present yourself in the world. Since Aries rules this house, Aries represents consciousness, that first awareness of the self, separate from others and eager to explore the world. Aries is the personal fire deep within your soul, it’s our true self. Aries is the zodiac sign that blazes with a strong sense of self-worth, self-assurance, and self- confidence. Aries has the purest sense of self it’s the sign that truly navigates life in the 1st person perspective and approaches the world only as they authentically are.

Themes of the Aries new moon

Every new Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the new Moon in the energetic, motivated, independent, confident, and headstrong Aries. We feel that in a fiery burst of passion, strength, and determination under the glow of the new moon. This new moon is all about utilizing the fire within, embracing leadership, and conquering fears. If you’ve been holding back, this is your cosmic green light to move forward with intentional action.

Keep in mind that the new Moon relates to the start of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams. This will be especially strong this new moon being in the sign of our self, determination, and motivation. We will feel a blazing strong pull to take intentional steps down the path where all our goals will be met. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics, and be grounded in those seeds of intention you are determined to plant this new moon. Don’t forget this full moon is layered with many energies for you to connect to as well like Spring equinox that just woke us and nature up from our winter hibernation.

What To Be Cautious Of With The Aries new Moon

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of explosive anger and outbursts. The energy of Aries is grounded in Mars, which is all about aggression, war, and conflict. So, take the time to stop and think before you let the little things allow you to blow up right now and create conflicts in your life by making small things bigger than they need to be. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, and connected to who you are so your emotions don’t allow you to wander from your goals, let your ego get in the way, or allow your anger to create unnecessary conflict with others.

Also remember, as you tap into Aries’ pioneering spirit, that new Moons also highlight balance not just new beginnings. While you may feel the urge to charge ahead, don’t forget to pause, reflect, and ensure that your actions align with your higher purpose. Aries can sometimes push us toward impulsive decisions, so let the fire of this new Moon guide you with both confidence and mindfulness. It’s great to let our passion and motivation propel us forward without fear, but also remember that fear does serve a purpose. It keeps us safe and whole. So, while you use that bold, assertive, and headstrong Aries energy to pursue your dreams and goals make sure you listen to red flags of urgent danger that pop up along the way.

Aries and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, let’s look at the duality of Aries itself. Aries is known for being assertive and enjoying excitement, which can make it an energy that is full of passion, confidence and a bit impulsive. Which is an amazing energy for being able to truly let go of things no longer serving you by burning it away and moving forward in life with fiery motivation and passion. It can also be a potent time to really take steps towards the biggest goals for you unique path in life. However, it can also be known for that passion turning into a fiery temper. Which can cause us to lash out in anger towards those who are only trying to help us meet our goals and walk down our intended path. Once we feel discord in our relationships because of our own anger, it can make us feel isolated and cause us to no longer focus on the passion of this energy to meet our goals. Second, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

Correspondences for the Aries full moon

First, what is a correspondence? ,A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond to the moon itself as well.

Ritual To Connect To Your Anger

Working with our anger can be a powerful, potent, and liberating experience. Anger in and of itself is not a negative. No emotion is negative since every emotion serves a function and is sending us a message. How we use our anger is what determines whether it’s constructive or destructive. As the Aries new moon summons your inner warrior, think of your anger as a battle cry to pay attention to your boundaries, your passions, and your unmet needs and/or desires. If you’ve been letting someone push you around, it’s time to address the unworkable behavior and create a new way of interacting. Don’t be afraid to simply just let some pent up anger out as well by just letting a scream, yell, shout, or cry out to mother nature and the cosmos.

Use the journal prompts below to connect to your anger in a quiet sacred container. You can amplify the affect right now by having a red, orange, or white candle burning next to you as you do this work. The candle will help you connect to the element of fire, the planet mars, and the energy of Aries. Once you have completed the prompts below, you can than take the answers and burn the list in your candle flame to release any of the unwanted and negative affects of the anger you have been harnessing during this session. Don’t forget to visualize you harnessing your anger in a productive and constructive way in the future to manifest it into you life as you are also releasing the unwanted affects.

  • How does my anger hold me back?
  • When was the last time you felt very angry and what was the trigger?
  • What happens to your body when you are angry?
  • Are there any behaviors you do when you are angry you are not angry or happy about?
  • How do you currently handle anger? How would you like to handle your anger?
  • Do you have areas in your life you need to harness your anger to be more assertive?
  • Are there areas or causes in your life you need to harness your anger for the sake of justice and protecting others?
  • Is your anger being mistaken for something else? Like loneliness, hurt, passion, assertiveness etc.
  • Where in your life do you need to let go of anger and what does that look like?

Trust the unseen, embrace the flow, and create your dream life with the Pisces new moon

The second new moon of 2025 graces the skies with its sliver of light on February 27th. This time we find the moon under the creative, spiritual, compassionate, empathetic, and dreamy sign of Pisces. Pisces is the clairvoyant of the zodiac. It is a sign with a deep sensitivity to those around them and heightened sense of intuition. New Moons are always a time of new beginnings, and the New Moon in Pisces inspires us to imagine the future we want deep down we are afraid to let rise to the surface. But, this new moon is the time when we overcome our fears so that we can begin manifesting the things we’ve fantasized about. The things our heart is almost too afraid to reach for. A new moon in Pisces is a time for emotional intensity, spiritual growth, and reflection. It is also a time to dream big, be creative, and leap without fear into new beginnings. This new moon in Pisces inspires us to attune to our intuition and strengthen our capacity to flow with life. This new moon along side the ethereal two fishes is all about connecting with your intuition and setting intentions aligned with your highest self. Pisces energy encourages us to trust the unseen, embrace flow, and water seeds that align with our dream life. This new moon is a time for deep introspection and renewal, marking a new beginning with a focus on your inner world and dreams. Allowing us to plant seeds of infinite potential within our inner temples to cultivate our most spiritual and dreamy life.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we dive into the depths of our dreams with the Pisces fishes. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

Who is Pisces?

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by the planet Neptune, and is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. People born between February 19 and March 20 are Pisces. It’s symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces’ attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson—the joys and the pains, the hopes and the fears—learned by all of the other signs. This makes these fish the most psychic, empathetic, and compassionate creatures of the astrological wheel.

Since, Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet that governs creativity and dreams; these ethereal fish adore exploring their boundless imaginations. But, Neptune also oversees illusion and escapism. Neptune’s energy is like the energy of the ocean: magical, mysterious, and often scary. When the fog is thick on the water, the horizon is obstructed and there is no differentiation between the sea and the sky.

Pisces the Constellation

The Pisces constellation is one of the largest northern sky constellations. Pisces lies between Aries constellation to the east and Aquarius to the west. . According to legend the constellation is composed of two fish who are connected together by a ribbon. The fish are the goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros (Roman: Venus and Cupid). They turned themselves into fish in order to escape from the monster Typhon. They then connected themselves together with a ribbon in order not to be separated. There is also a different origin tale that Hyginus preserved in another work. According to this, an egg rolled into the Euphrates, and some fishes nudged this to the shore, after which the doves sat on the egg until Aphrodite (thereafter called the Syrian Goddess) hatched out of it. The fishes were then rewarded by being placed in the skies as a constellation.

Pisces The Most Potent Time To Manifest

Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. The new Moon in Pisces is a time of healing, a time of magic, and most importantly, one of the most potent times to practice manifestation work. That’s because Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination and mysticism, which means you’ll not only be more connected to your creativity but also your spiritual center. You have the opportunity to slip into the flow and waters of life now. When that happens, you want what is happening and what is happening is what you want. Your manifesting is working perfectly and you are able to create new things and new dreams you have never imagined before now. Get prepared because the flow of abundance, creativity, and realized dreams is coming your way under this new moon light.

Pisces The Sign of Creativity

The Pisces new Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily. The energy of Pisces guides us to go with the flow, to be less concerned with planning and plotting, and instead, to bring ourselves into the present moment. While we may not have all the answers and be in a state of unknowing, this new Moon reminds us that this is where our true creative powers lie. Allow the energy of the two fishes to let your creativity naturally flow from you in ways you have never experienced before.

Pisces The Sign of Compassion and Empathy

Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with this new Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can’t help themselves. At the center of the Pisces new Moon lie themes of healing, kindness, and sensitivity. This lunar phase invites us to nurture our emotional well-being, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and embrace the healing power of love and forgiveness. You can utilize the energy of this new moon to heal relationships by starting some new ones and bringing the energy of new beginnings through forgiveness . You can look into the depths of your soul to face past hurts in a relationship and heal deep wounds that may still be lingering causing resentment and friction.

Pisces The Sign of Spirituality

Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. It is an energetic frequency that dissolves boundaries, allowing us to tap into the collective consciousness and access deeper layers of intuition. This new moon ask you to dive deep into your unconsciousness, let go of fear, and embrace the unknown of starting new things . Allow the waves of Pisces to push you forward onto the next chapter unfolding now in front of you.

Pisces The Ruler of What’s Hidden

Pisces rules what’s hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, whether its being kept from us by others or ourselves. We can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. It reminds us that while being authentic and open with others is great to do, we don’t always need to tell everyone our WHOLE truth. It encourages us to tap into the realm of dreams and imagination, including things we never think we could see. To envision a future aligned with our soul’s purpose and our wildest dreams. Pisces inspires us to imagine things we have yet to even know our soul has dreamed.

Themes for the Pisces New moon

Every single new moon we experience will have it’s own themes that align with the sign it is in. This time, we experience the new Moon in the dreamy, creative, innovative, ethereal, physic, and spiritual Water sign Pisces. Pisces is also a Mutable sign, the most adaptable and flexible of the signs. The new Moon in Pisces invites us into the magic of infinite possibility. It also reminds us of a profound truth we are energetic beings, connected to everything in the Universe. From the stars above to the deepest oceans, we share the same cosmic essence. Our dreams and visions exist in this vast field of potential, already alive within us just waiting for us to bring them to life. Use this new moon in Pisces to find creative solutions to any challenges or issues you’ve been facing because you’ll feel both more creative and better able to go with the flow. If the Pisces fish can teach us anything, it’s that there are no wrong paths. The two fish of Pisces swim in opposite directions, and yet, their journey is a circle meaning they will eventually both land in the same place.

Things to look out for with the Pisces new moon

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of emotional overwhelm. Pisces energy can easily blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality, leading to confusion and escapism, including a lot of time spent getting lost in daydreaming. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, to honor our emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to cultivate practices that promote inner peace and clarity. You also might be more susceptible to absorbing others’ negativity or taking things personally, so set clear boundaries and practice self-care. Practicing self care will allow you to build up self worth and use it to not blur the lines between your emotions and others. Lastly don’t forget the dreamy nature of Pisces can lead to unclear thinking, so avoid making major life choices without careful consideration.

Pisces and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the new moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in like Pisces. First, let’s look at the duality of Pisces itself. First, we see it in the representation of the two fishes in it’s symbol. It shows us that the two fish even though they may be swimming different directions. They will always eventually meet with each other at the same spot to complete their cosmic circle. We also see the essence of duality in the way Pisces calls us into the deep to look at our deepest emotions, and wounds guiding us to release them. This is a needed thing for healing and change but, the depths of the emotions can also feel like they are drowning us amongst their rough waves.

Second, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

Embrace a new start and your own uniqueness to help the greater good with the Aquarius new moon

The first new moon of 2025 graces the skies with its sliver of light on January 29th. This time we find the moon under the innovative, curious, humanitarian, freedom seeking, independent, go with the flow of change; Aquarius. Aquarius the water bearer pushes us to venture outside of our comfort zones, and to experiment. The status quo isn’t working, so doing things differently is something we’re open to doing. As we focus on the future and we’re open to doing things differently, it allows us to take control of it. Aquarius is the 11th sign in the Zodiac and is teeming with energy all about the doing the greater good for humanity through your own uniqueness. This energy is an energy we are really needing right now with everything going on in the world. Tapping into the energy of Aquarius right now will allow us to be able to go with the flow of massive change happening around us. Allowing us to not have so much resistance to the flow, so we can find a new way creative way to help humanity and protect our unique way of life. The Aquarius New Moon is all about embracing a fresh start that aligns with your true self to help the greater good of the collective. The Aquarius New Moon, happening alongside the beginning of the Year of the Snake, encourages us to welcome renewal, seek clarity, and embrace the beauty of transformation by shedding our skins.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we climb the highest mountains to reach our dreams this year with the Capricorn new moon. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

Chinese new year, celebrating the lunar new year

Before we get to know the water bearer Aquarius, we first need to talk about another energy coming into play. Because this new moon is a special one marking the beginning of the lunar year and calendar for many cultures. One of the most popular cultures to celebrate the lunar new year is the Chinese. The Chinese new Year is perhaps the most elaborate, colorful, and important in the culture. Chinese New Year, just like the Western new Year, signifies turning over a new leaf and starting something new. Marking the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season, Chinese New Year celebrates looking to the future for new beginnings with themes of happiness, health family, and good fortune. This Chinese new year marks the arrival of the Wood Snake, a rare and meaningful combination that appears only once every 60 years. This year of the Snake signifies introspection, subtle power, and transformative growth. It embodies a quiet yet potent and sometimes lethal energy capable of illuminating hidden paths and fostering deep emotional and spiritual understanding. Its strategic, resourceful nature makes it an excellent year for long-term growth. To learn more about the the Chinese new year and how to celebrate it today alongside this new moon read my guide here.

So who is Aquarius?

Aquarius is the sign that brings progression, liberation, innovation, and world-mindedness to the zodiac. It’s the sign of broad learning, and the shedding of the past. It’s the sign of new, and sometimes radical, beginnings. Even though it is commonly mistaken for a water sign due to it being represented by the water bear; it is actually attached to the element of air. This is because Aquarius represents the movement of knowledge, wisdom, creativity, and connection to the collective through life. By spreading it on the breath of the spirit ( AIR) to humanity for the greater good. Aquarius allows for the flow of ideas and gifts for humanity with the ability to tune into the universal mind and think outside the box without fear. Aquarius is the futuristic sign of the universal collective due to it’s placement being the 11th sign and looking both at the end of cycle and towards the next one.

Aquarius Constellation

The constellation of Aquarius is depicted as a youthful boy pouring water in the mouth of a fish, the fish that represents Pisces, the zodiac sign that follows Aquarius on the calendar. In Greek mythology, Aquarius represents the youthful shepherd boy Ganymede. He was the son of Tros of Dardania, who is credited as the founder of Troy which made him a Trojan prince. The story goes that Ganymede was herding sheep when Zeus, came down disguised as an eagle. Zeus was very impressed by the beauty of the young prince. Homer said Ganymede was the loveliest and most beautiful born of the race of mortals. Zeus was so infatuated with him and his beauty so he took Ganymede to Mount Olympus. Once they got there, Zeus made Ganymedes the cupbearer for the gods. Where he would refill their drinks so, Zeus could admire he beauty.

Themes for the Aquarius new moon

We have talked a lot about who Aquarius is and how Aquarius can affect you and benefit you. This time we find the moon under the innovative, curious, humanitarian, freedom seeking, independent, go with the flow of change; Aquarius. This Aquarius new moon is a bold invitation to step into a future defined by innovation, transformation, and collective evolution. The Aquarius New Moon begins a time when we are focused on envisioning a new reality, breaking free from old patterns, and releasing our attachment to the past. Let’s explore some of the themes of the Aquarius new moon below.

  • Creative
  • open-minded

Aquarius the sign of changing the world

When the new moon transits Aquarius, it feels like you can change the world. Literally! This is because of it’s strong connection to wanting to better humanity and raise it to it’s highest level of consciousness and we see this in the symbolism of the water bearer. Where you see the sign of Aquarius pouring its physical blessings of knowledge, and more out for all of humanity to access and benefit from. With this moon you really have the opportunity to connect to a divine energy all about the expansion of humanity. You can reflect on how you have or have not been doing this in your life. And you can reflect on how you can do start to or do it differently than you are now? You will feel that deep desire to further humanity with your blessings you have to offer others through the throat chakra it is connected to.

Aquarius the sign of creativity

This new moon in Aquarius ushers in a time to really truly open up to the expression of your creativity as well to look for new ways to express yourself and to expand any business endeavors in a new and innovative way. The new moon in Aquarius opens up this trusting space within yourself to be willing to accept your own uniqueness which allows your creativity to just explode without the fear of judgement since you are so happy with who you uniquely are in this energy. This new moon give you the space to really open up to any and all new ideas to try especially if you have a business or a side hustle. You will feel this energy open up new ways for you to get you and the services you have to offer the collective.

Aquarius the sign to tap into the uniqueness of you

The new moon in Aquarius brings about a time to celebrate your uniqueness and who you are as a divine being. It is a time to dedicate yourself with a full blazing passion on a path towards your goals. This moon really opens up to your root chakra to allow you to be fully grounded and confident in every unique part of who are as divine soul. This new moon invites you to invite in full trust in yourself that you know who are and what your path is for this lifetime is. You can really take this time in during this moon to reflect on what truly makes you unique and sets you apart and how can you use those traits to benefit the greater good of humanity and the collective.

What to be cautious of with the Aquarius new moon

During an Aquarius new moon, you might want to be aware of relationship issues and insecurities. This means be careful to not let yourself get detached from others. This can happen easily during an Aquarius new moon since it pushes us to be independent and seek more space on our own. The next thing to be cautious of is to not let your emotions consume you or others drama and extreme emotions either. The Aquarius new moon is a time known to bring up repressed feelings and create some clarity in your life you may have been unaware of until now. Like maybe you are in a toxic relationship. The Aquarius new moon will force you to accept this and have you want to create plans to change that. Just make sure you are not doing so hastily and listening to the wisdom that Aquarius can bring. Lastly, make sure those repressed feelings I talked about just a bit ago, don’t consume you and get out of control. Make sure to do things that soothe your soul, comfort your inner child, and love yourself through acts of self care.

Aquarius New moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the new moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in Aquarius. First, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from an ending and death.

Second, let’s look at the duality of the energy of Aquarius. First off Aquarius is ruled by two planets Uranus and Saturn. Which are quite opposing energies to each other. Uranus is very dreamy, and a future focused energy while Saturn is very disciplined and logic based. This unique mix of duality is why Aquarius energy is what shakes up the collective, brings new inventions, and changes the status quo. This energy is seen as the driving force behind revolutionary ideas and groundbreaking solutions, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

However, this same unwavering dedication to help the collective with new innovations and ways of thinking, can also be a double-edged sword. Aquarius energy can be very stubborn with a refusal to compromise or consider alternative perspectives. This can sometimes lead to a sense of arrogance, seeming like a know it all, and alienating those who don’t share in our dreams to reshape the collective.

Correspondences for the Aquarius new moon

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like for Aquarius, I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond to the moon itself as well.

  • planet-Uranus and Saturn
  • Element-Air
  • Symbol- the water bearer
  • Modality- Fixed
  • gender-Masculine
  • Day-Saturday
  • Animal- peacock, dolphin, owl ( Ps we are talking about owls inside the Patreon community. come learn about them by joining the paid community today)
  • colors-bright blue and purple
  • Herbs/flowers-orchid, Lavender, chamomile, ashwagandha, ginger, hawthorn, fennel, rosemary, Queen Anne’s lace
  • Stones/crystals- garnet, hematite, amethyst, aquamarine, rose quartz, turquoise, labradorite, fluorite, and sodalite
  • Deities- Zeus, Ea, Deucalion, Hapy, Prometheus, Hera, Juno, Hebe
  • Ruling House-11th house

First, make sure to do all of your staples that your learned in the previous blog post on the new moon and the moon in general like, charging your crystals, making moon water, and resetting your altar.

Working with the adventurous, authentic, and philosophical Sagittarius new moon

We are entering a new lunar phase on December 1st; the New moon. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel the influence over our moods and intuition shift. This month we find the moon in the adventurous, optimistic, expansive, philosophical, independent, authentic, creative, generous, and freeing fire sign of the archer; Sagittarius. As we welcome the fire driven, Jupiter ruled New Moon in Sagittarius we connect with the philosopher, truth seeker, and the adventurer of the zodiac and within each one of us. As the moon begins their journey in this optimistic fire sign, we feel called to plant seeds related to expanding our knowledge, pursuing travel and higher learning, and embarking on quests to discover truth. Under the silvery rays of the new moon in Sagittarius we are encouraged to expand our minds, explore our beliefs and views of the world we live on, and are given an amazing opportunity to reexamine what we believe to be true. We will feel a need to pull back the curtains and remove any masks to uncover the truth within the lies we are told about ourselves and the world we live in.

We spend much of our time “what if-ing” ourselves and envisioning the worst-case scenario; but during a Sagittarius new moon your mind will start considering all the possibilities of a situation rather than just focusing on the potential roadblocks. Guiding you towards a new path and journey to get the life you truly want. Let me show you in this post the flames of the new moon in the fire sign Sagittarius. And how to connect to this adventurous, expansive, visionary, idealistic and freeing energy. You can use it to pull the arrows of intention back and shoot them without fear to manifest a life full of happiness, knowledge, and adventure today!

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we run off in joy on a brand new adventure with the Sagittarius new mon.. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy here!

So, who is Sagittarius?

Sagittarius, represented by the Archer, is known for its optimistic, enthusiastic, and adventurous spirit. Sagittarius is represented by the symbol of the archer, who aims far, and the mythological creature, centaur, who is half man and half horse. It bridges the gap between the Earth and Heaven because the centaur is the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, Sagittarius brings the energy of growth, exploration, and optimism into everything it touches.

As the mutable (adaptable) Fire sign of the Zodiac, Sagittarius rules over communication, action, and passion. Fire is all about passion and inner motivation, and Sagittarius sparks that inner drive within us to learn, experience, grow and inspire. It can be a good time to pick back up an old idea, an old big plan, or to reconnect with the big picture in ways we have before. This can be a good time to redo and revise.

Sagittarius was the one who would leave the zodiac, and wander far to obtain new wisdom, and perspective to bring back and teach others what they learned. They are driven by a constant search for knowledge, wisdom, and the meaning of life. They are the natural students and teachers of life. Purpose is a big theme for Sagittarius. It is not only about obtaining knowledge, it is about understanding the purpose of what life even means.

The Sagittarius Constellation

Sagittarius is located between Capricornus and Scorpius, and is easiest to see in mid-summer when looking south and following the Milky Way. The constellation’s most prominent feature is the Teapot asterism, which is made up of three stars that form the bow, four stars that form the arrow, and stars for the archer’s hand. The constellation’s association with an archer dates back to ancient civilizations, with the Babylonians identifying it as a mounted archer as early as the 11th century BCE. Another interpretation is that Sagittarius represents Crotus, the son of Pan and Eupheme. Crotus was a skilled hunter and lover of the arts who was raised by the Muses. In one myth, the Muses asked Zeus to place Crotus in the sky to demonstrate archery. in yet another myth, some Mesopotamian civilizations associated Sagittarius with their god of war, Nergal, an archer god. The constellation’s drawn-out bow and arrow may have originated from this association

Sagittarius the archer and its connection to Chiron

,In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is a centaur, aiming an arrow at Scorpius. The Sagittarius sign is represented by a special centaur named Chiron. First, what is a Centaur? Centaur’s were creatures in Greek Mythology that had the upper body of a human man and the lower body, including all four hooves, of a horse. Many Centaurs were wild and boisterous creatures known to allow their animal nature to have control. The Centaur is a great representation for Sagittarius because of it’s balance between the passionate, wild animal nature and the soul searching, purpose driven nature of humans. The most famous Centaur Chiron, from later Greek Mythology, was known to be a wise man and a healer. In Greek Mythology, it was Chiron who taught humanity the constellations. That’s huge. Chiron is our celestial teacher. On top of that, Many well known Greek gods and goddesses looked to him for spiritual advice, most will know him through the hero Hercules. All of this is why he became associated with the sign Sagittarius. To learn more about his tragic story from beginning to end, who he is, and how the wounded healer can help you heal; you can read about him in my previous blog post here.

Themes for the Sagittarius new moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the adventurous, optimistic, expansive, independent, authentic, creative, generous, and freeing fire sign of the archer; Sagittarius. The Sagittarius new moon is all about stampeding forward down a new adventurous path in life seeking new skills, knowledge and questioning our understanding of life. This Sagittarius new moon is an opportunity to pull the arrows of intention back and shoot them without fear to manifest a life full of happiness, knowledge, and adventure that serves the greater good for all of man. Let’s explore some of the themes of the Sagittarius new moon below.

  • Expansion
  • Freedom
  • Education
  • Independence
  • Travel
  • Adventure
  • Optimism
  • Athleticism
  • Humor
  • Spontaneity
  • Intelligence
  • Enthusiasm
  • Honesty
  • Exploration
  • The Outdoors
  • Searching
  • Questioning
  • Restlessness
  • Ambition
  • Generosity
  • Challenges
  • Higher Learning
  • Entertainment
  • Congeniality

Sagittarius The Sign Of Adventure

A Sagittarius new Moon will renew your sense of adventure, and you could have the desire to start something new up during this time. Sagittarius loves the idea of traveling and expanding their horizon. This can be something physical like traveling to a faraway place, or taking their mind on a trip with an education pursuit. The energy of Sagittarius is very expansive, free, and visionary. Cast your mind back and check in with any dreams you’ve had percolating to travel, or begin a new adventure. Sagittarius is the happy sign, the sign of opportunity and expansion, and wants to get out into the world and have new experiences, follow that.

Sagittarius The Ruler Of Higher Learning

Sagittarius is the ruler of higher learning, during this time we can be more passionate about learning, teaching, writing, and speaking. Sagittarius is the thinking sign associated with the quest for freedom from all restriction as well as idealism, religion and philosophy. At the highest level, Sagittarius is concerned with understanding, perception, and mental activity in the service of their high ideals for the benefit of mankind. This is a great time to pickup that book you have been putting off to read, or start learning a new skill. Take the time to follow that curiosity and soak up all it is that you can learn. Because, Sagittarius reminds you wisdom doesn’t just fall into your lap; it’s something you chase after,. right now, the chase could lead you to exciting knowledge you never knew existed. You’re like a sponge right now under this new moon, absorbing lessons that are hidden in the day-to-day experiences.

Sagittarius Ruler Of Our Beliefs

Sagittarius rules our beliefs, so we can be more passionate about what we believe in and stand up for ourselves and others. The Sagittarius new moon tells us now is the time for deep reflection and personal growth. It’s also a moment to ponder the stories we’ve been telling ourselves about who we are and the world we live in. The Sagittarius new moon signals to us that some of our philosophies and beliefs may need revisiting. During the new moon in Sagittarius, the moon illuminates hidden truths, creating space for self-discovery which can allow our beliefs to either deepen or to shift and change. The new moon in Sagittarius, is the perfect time to rethink the beliefs and philosophies passed down by older generations and see how you might want to do things differently.

What To Be Cautious Of This Sagittarius New Moon

Since Sagittarius is the sign that rules our beliefs and we can get really passionate about that. This can lead to fights if we don’t keep an open mind with others in our lives. So, we need to make sure we’re listening properly. If we are, this can improve communications and we can feel more understood. With Sagittarius also being the happy sign of the zodiac we need to be careful that we don’t get too lost in feeling happy that we choose to not face reality and end up making situations worse than they need to be. The last thing to really be cautious of this new moon is the rabbit hole that questioning your beliefs and seeking knowledge can send you down. When you really start to look at your own belief system and how you view society, the government, and your world it can cause anger for being lied to come up along with sadness and depression. So, be careful to not over do how much you question and look at and if you decide to really follow the archer down that hole take breaks to be mindful and present so you don’t get overwhelmed.

Sagittarius new moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. First, the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from and ending and death.

Second, the energy of Sagittarius many would think is all just a positive, jovial, and optimistic energy. But, Sagittarius is also about adventure and expansion which isn’t always a happy, optimistic thing. In order to actually truly go on an adventure we have to let go of any fear, and expectations, to allow us to just aimlessly wander, be present and experience the adventure. To let go of fears and expectations we must first acknowledge them which can be a rough and fiery thing for us do.

Correspondences for the Sagittarius new moon

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like Sagittarius, that I will list below for you to use. Remember this is not an all encompassing list and there may be other correspondences to use. Just follow your intuition and use what calls to you.

Shadow work questions for the Sagittarius new moon

Sagittarius, is all about seeking truth, wisdom, and those expansive experiences that tug at your soul’s longing for adventure. Under this new moon we are able to really let ourselves think big with our intentions and goals. Allowing us to look at the big picture of what we really want in life to be happy. In order to do that we need to be willing to step outside of our comfort zones, take risks, and be willing to adventure onto a new path with these intentions of true happiness set. This period is ripe for introspection, giving you an opportunity to reflect on what changes you wish to bring into your life. Imagine the new moon as your personal catalyst for change, prompting you to plant the seeds of intention to be bloom by the full moon.

Fire Gazing Ritual

Fire gazing is a powerful ritual that will connect you to the energy of Sagittarius with clarity and intention. It can be used as a form of meditation, contemplation, manifestation, or simply to clear the mind. Fire gazing involves looking into the flames of a fire and allowing yourself to connect with your inner wisdom. It can help you gain clarity on what you want to manifest in the coming months, and look at the successes you have to celebrate from past months. What you see in the flames will guide you through your journey. Fire gazing also helps to bring harmony and balance into your life, allowing you to stay connected with yourself and those around you. Additionally, it can be used as a form of meditation, allowing for deeper levels of concentration and relaxation.

How to do fire gazing

First get yourself into sacred container and set up whatever form of a flame you are using whether it be a candle, fireplace, or bonfire. While setting up your source of fire and flame focus on the intention and goal you have for this fire gazing session.

Next, you should focus your attention on the natural light of the fire and allow yourself to enter into an altered state of consciousness as you gaze into the flames while engaging in rhythmic breathing techniques like boxed breathing for example.

Once you feel your attention is focused on the light of the flames. Then, you can relax yourself and stare into the flames. Allow your intuition and mind’s eye to find images and omens, and allow yourself to be open to the messages that come through.

You can also energetically toss your worries from the past month into the flame, letting them burn away and be released.

Sagittarius Intention setting ritual

A New Moon symbolizes fresh starts and planting seeds of intentions. Under Sagittarius, these beginnings are laced with adventure, letting go of our fears, and taking risks by stepping into the unknown. This New Moon’s energy invites you to chase after your dreams with a bow full of aspiration arrows, ready to launch. When setting intentions under this new moon, dream big. Sagittarius is all about grand plans and stretching beyond your current limits. Use this ritual to zero in on new intentions and set them under the adventurous and fearless Sagittarius new moon.

What you need:

  • a piece of paper
  • Something to write with
  • some bay leaves
  • a candle ( I recommend using either of these colors; white-moon and new beginnings, green- manifestation and abundance, or purple-wisdom and intuition )

How do perform this ritual:

First, go ahead and get yourself into sacred container. You can do this anyway that you like. If possible try to do this ritual outside under the light of the moon and the starry night sky. Because, this sign is attached to Chiron. The one who taught us the stories of the constellations and their places among the stars. Once, you feel centered in who you are and your energy has come back to you. Take a deep breath and call to the moon. Ask the bright, optimistic, adventurous, Sagittarius moonlight to guide you on the intentions you set tonight. To allow you to see the bigger picture of what it is you truly desire to be happy. Under the glittering starry sky let your eyes be opened to see a world that expands farther then we ever dreamed. Each one of those stars burning with white hot wisdom inside. Let the dark moon show you the new way you need to go to serve the greater good in your own authentic way. When you feel the energy of the optimistic, adventurous, and fearless Sagittarius new moon rays enter your heart space grab your pen and take to the page. As you focus on the life you truly want to make. Think about; What does it look like? Where do you want to go? what things do you want to learn and know? How do you want your beliefs to be shaped? What is the purpose you were meant to do to serve the collective? How is it that you can get there? Once, you feel you have written all you can on that page and you have a clear image of the future you want to create, decide which ones you can focus on first. Then write each one on a bay leaf. Then with your intention now set for the life that will make you truly deeply happy. Take each leaf and connecting to the fiery energy residing within the fearless archer burn it in the flame of your candle as you visualize your intention giving it to the moon, Sagittarius and the universe knowing it all will come to you.

Final thoughts

We have talked a lot about how a Sagittarius new moon is about expansion of our knowledge to new ideas, adventuring without fear, and authentically embracing freedom. But, there is another energy that may affect how we experience that, at the same time as this new moon Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius too. Since Mercury is retrograde in the same sign as this New Moon, we may not be focused on anything new, and instead, want to take second chances. Retrogrades are times for do overs, and when we have a New Moon alongside one, this is an excellent time to take a second chance and do things over again. We can focus on something we tried but failed at, we started but didn’t finish, or we didn’t get off of the ground for some reason. With Sagittarius, this might be a big idea, something that would expand some part of our lives, or an experience we had that we can pursue again and learn more from. This is a great time to relearn something we’ve forgotten or to go back and review something we have taught before. Remember the new moon in Sagittarius represents the start of an exciting new lunar cycle centered around the themes of exploration, adventure, luck, and abundance. As the moon begins her journey in this optimistic fire sign, we feel called to plant seeds related to expanding our knowledge, pursuing travel and higher learning, and embarking on quests to discover truth.
