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

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.”
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.
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).
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.

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.
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.
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!”

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?

Soar into Abundance under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

This mystical June , we prepare to embrace the Strawberry Full Moon illuminating the skies on June 11, under the fiery, adventurous spirit of Sagittarius. This full moon, named for the ripe strawberries harvested by the Algonquin and Ojibwe tribes in early summer, pulses with energy of growth, sweetness, and bold exploration, urging us to savor life’s abundance and pursue our highest truths. As the Strawberry Moon rises, we’ll feel a surge of joy, a call to chase our dreams with fiery passion, and an invitation to release doubts that weigh us down. In the weeks following, we may find ourselves blossoming toward new possibilities, empowered by gratitude and vitality. Join me in this guide as we soar into abundance under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius!

First, What is the Full Moon?

Across centuries, the Moon has been a sacred guide in diverse cultures and traditions. The full moon marks the moment when the Moon is fully illuminated, reaching its zenith in the lunar cycle—a powerful peak of expression and energy. This occurs when the transiting Sun and Moon stand in opposition across the zodiac, a celestial dance that stirs our inner waters, given our bodies are over 60% water. Full Moons are the crescendo of the lunar cycle, with the Sun’s light fully revealing the Moon, offering a mirror to our emotions and hidden desires.

This luminous alignment opens a portal to manifest our deepest dreams, channeling peak creative and passionate energy to shape the life we envision. While the new moon plants seeds, the full moon activates the work to bring those seeds to fruition, bridging intention and action beyond its brightest night. There are myriad ways to harness this energy—explore the basics in my lunar magic blog post here. Each full moon, like this Sagittarius Sturgeon Moon, carries unique vibrations tied to its zodiac sign, inviting us to align with its magic.

The Strawberry Moon

As June’s warmth ripens the earth, the night sky glows with the Strawberry Full Moon, a name gifted by the Algonquin and Ojibwe tribes, who celebrated the season of strawberry harvesting in early summer. Though not visually distinct, this moon shines in its golden or rosy hue, radiating energy of sweetness, fertility, and the joy of nature’s peak. The Strawberry Moon invites us to celebrate abundance, embrace vitality, and align with the earth’s generous gifts, a time to gather the fruits of our labor with gratitude.

Following May’s Flower Moon, the Strawberry Moon carries forward the theme of growth, resonating with the fiery energy of midsummer and the promise of harvest. It’s a call to savor life’s pleasures, to embark on new quests, and to dance with the earth’s spirits under the moon’s light. Use this moon to reflect on your journey, recalibrate your dreams, and infuse your spirit with the courage to pursue your truth. Across cultures, the June full moon bears other names, each echoing themes of bounty and renewal:

Strawberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe)
Rose Moon (European)
Hot Moon (Cherokee)
Mead Moon (Medieval English)
Thunder Moon (Algonquin, some years)
Green Corn Moon (Sioux)
Moon When the Ponies Shed (Dakota)

So, Who is Sagittarius?

As the ninth sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and wisdom, and governed by the fire element, igniting passion and inspiration. Known for its love of freedom, truth, and adventure, Sagittarius is the archer, aiming its arrow toward the stars with boundless optimism. When the Moon aligns with Sagittarius, we feel a magnetic pull to explore new horizons, seek higher knowledge, and embrace our inner wanderer, encouraging us to trust our journey and release what limits our growth.

The Sagittarius Constellation

The Sagittarius constellation gleams in the southern sky, its stars forming the shape of an archer with a drawn bow, a symbol of aspiration and pursuit. In ancient Greek lore, it’s linked to Chiron, the wise centaur who taught healing and archery, while Babylonian myths tie it to Pabilsag, a god of war and wisdom. The constellation’s bright star, Rukbat, pulses with energy of direction and purpose, aligning with Sagittarius’ questing spirit. For many cultures, this celestial archer marked a time of harvest and travel, reflecting its themes of expansion and discovery.

Magical Themes for the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

This Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius blends earthy sweetness with fiery exploration, offering a potent mix of growth, truth, and liberation. It’s a time to release doubts, embrace adventure, and align with your highest vision. The Sagittarius Full Moon encourages us to soar beyond limitations, trust our intuition, and savor the wisdom of our journey. Let’s delve into these themes:

Magical Themes for the Sagittarius Full Moon:

Adventure
Expansion
Truth-seeking
Freedom
Optimism
Wisdom
Exploration
Growth
Inspiration

Magical Themes for the Strawberry Moon:

Abundance
Fertility
Harvest
Sweetness
Joy
Connection with nature
Celebration
Renewal
Vitality

Sagittarius: The Sign of Adventure and Truth

Sagittarius, a fire sign fueled by Jupiter’s expansive grace, thrives on adventure and the pursuit of truth. It seeks to explore the world—physically, spiritually, and philosophically—craving experiences that broaden the soul. Under this Full Moon, Sagittarius’ energy will ignite our desire to break free, seek knowledge, and embrace our authentic path. It’s a time to honor your inner explorer, to chase your dreams with faith, and to let go of fears that anchor you. Sagittarius reminds us that growth lies in the journey, not just the destination.

Sagittarius: The Sign of Wisdom and Liberation

Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius is the zodiac’s philosopher and liberator, always seeking higher wisdom and freedom through exploration. During this Full Moon, Jupiter’s influence amplifies our quest for meaning and release, urging us to expand our horizons and trust our inner compass. This is a moment to reflect on your growth, to heal through understanding, and to share your insights with others. Sagittarius’ fiery optimism can illuminate new possibilities, helping us transform our lives with bold liberation.

Jupiter’s Expansive Influence is Active

Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance, shines brightly under this Full Moon, magnifying Sagittarius’ energy. Jupiter encourages us to dream big, to release limiting beliefs, and to trust in our potential for prosperity. After a period of introspection, Jupiter’s influence now urges us to expand our vision, to plant seeds of abundance in the fertile soil of June, and to believe in the journey ahead. This expansive energy can help us manifest our wildest dreams, but it asks us to stay grounded in gratitude for the process.

What to Be Cautious of During a Sagittarius Full Moon

Sagittarius’ fiery enthusiasm is a gift, but its shadow can bring restlessness or overconfidence. This Full Moon may tempt us to overcommit, scatter our focus, or avoid deeper emotions in favor of escapism. Its blunt honesty might also spark unintended conflicts if we’re not mindful of tact. Balance this energy by grounding yourself—connect with the earth, reflect before acting, and embrace your journey with patience and presence.

Sagittarius Full Moon and Duality

As a grey witch, I seek the duality in every lunar energy. The full moon itself embodies duality as a time of culmination and release, pulling us into a liminal space where we harvest gains and let go of what hinders us—a dance of light and shadow. Sagittarius’ duality lies in its balance of freedom and wisdom. While it craves adventure and expansion, it also teaches us that true liberation comes from inner truth. Sagittarius reminds us that duality—action and reflection, growth and release—is the key to a fulfilling journey.

Shadow Work Under the Sagittarius Full Moon

Shadow work, the art of facing our hidden fears and unhealed wounds, finds a unique rhythm under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius. This moon’s fiery, expansive energy, enhanced by Jupiter, illuminates the shadows of doubt and stagnation we’ve buried, urging us to confront them with bold honesty. Sagittarius’ quest for truth encourages us to explore our inner wilderness, while its optimism fuels the courage to release what no longer serves. This is a time to ask: What fears keep me from my dreams? What beliefs limit my growth? Journal these shadows, then use the moon’s energy to release them through rituals like burning a list of doubts or meditating on your inner archer. Shadow work here can lead to profound liberation, guiding you toward your most authentic, adventurous self.

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

,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.

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.

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.

Working With The Adventurous, Expansive, Idealistic, And Freeing, Sagittarius Full Moon

We will be entering a new lunar phase this week; the full moon. The Full Flower Moon in Sagittarius graces the skies amidst the vibrant blossoms of spring and right before the heat and activity of summer. This month in May we find the full moon in the adventurous, expansive, visionary, idealistic and freeing sign of Sagittarius. Unlike the New Moon, which is about starting something new, the Full Moon is about reflecting on what we planted almost six months ago now, and how it’s coming to fruition. It urges us to consider what’s next. You’re being pushed to pursue a LEAP of faith. Take a moment to get in touch with your true, deepest desires, and give yourself permission to dream bigger than you ever have. It’s a great time to reassess the year and see if your actions still align with your intentions.

The fullness of this sagittarius moon encourages us to pause and appreciate the moment as it is. It urges us to stop and smell the flowers blooming now around us. Sagittarius, is a sign ruled by Jupiter, which amplifies its adventurous spirit, quest for knowledge, and desire for truth. And this Sagittarius full moon on May 23, 2024; specifically urges you to connect with your inner voice and start living with more authenticity and truth to allow expansion and true freedom.

We spend much of our time “what if-ing” ourselves and envisioning the worst-case scenario; but during a sagittarius full moon your mind will start considering all the possibilities of a situation rather than just focusing on the potential roadblocks. The full Moon in Sagittarius has the power to help you understand which fears need to stay and which ones should go. Full moon’s always bring added illumination so pay attention to any breakthroughs you have around what’s stopped you moving forward with your plans. Full moons are also about release, so whatever has been stopping you from taking the leap, it’s time to kick it to the curb.

Let me show you in this post the flames of the full moon in the fire sign sagittarius. And how to connect to this adventurous, expansive, visionary, idealistic and freeing energy. You can use it to harness the most potent energy for us to release fears, find hidden truths, and manifest a life full of happiness, knowledge, and adventure today!

First, What is the Full Moon

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached it’s peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen. The full moon allows you to bridge the connection between these energies and themes and bring them into your life while reminding you how important it is to have them in your life not only when the moon is illuminated in the sky for you to see.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon, to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

So, Who Is Sagittarius?

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. Because of this, during the Full Moon, we are being called to release any limiting beliefs in regards to our purpose in life. Possibly even redefine what purpose means for us.

Sagittarius energy:

Encourages personal growth and development
Fosters open-mindedness and embrace new perspectives
Enhances intuition and insights during meditation practices
Promotes a search for higher meaning and purpose
Amplifies courage and boldness in pursuing goals and aspirations
Fosters a sense of freedom and independence

Sagittarius The Happy Sign

Sagittarius is the happy sign, the sign of opportunity and expansion, and wants to get out into the world and have new experiences. The Sagittarius Full Moon is a more optimistic Full Moon since Sagittarius is the happy sign. Full Moons tend to be emotional, but Sagittarius Full Moons don’t want to dwell on that. During a Sagittarius full moon we don’t want to deal with anything too serious, we are ready for a break after the few previous moons before this one. The sagittarius full moon, also opens up the door to believing the best can happen for us and too us.

Sagittarius The Sign To Celebrate Our Successes

The Sagittarius full Moon also wants us to dream bigger in our own lives, through celebrating how far we’ve already come. This full Moon in Sagittarius reminds us to celebrate and feel proud of our achievements, both past and current, in order to keep believing in our successes still to come.This Sagittarius Full Moon wants to help us anchor into that sense of positivity and possibility for ourselves and the world at large.

Full Moons are also times of release, and letting go, so that we can create the space for more of what we truly want. This Sagittarius full Moon urges us to release anything keeping us from feeling proud of and celebrating ourselves, along with limited beliefs around our own potential. So if you’re noticing any (old) negative self-thought patterns arising around this full Moon, please know this is the illumination to release it all and break that pattern.

Sagittarius The Sign Of Adventure

A Sagittarius full 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, learn or begin a new adventure.

Sagittarius The Ruler Of Higher Learning

Sagittarius is ruler of higher learning, so we can finish a course of study, and 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.

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 full 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 full moon signals to us that some of our philosophies and beliefs may need revisiting. During the full 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 full 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. It’s also a moment to ponder the stories we’ve been telling ourselves about who we are and the world we live in.

Themes Of Sagittarius

We have talked a lot about who sagittarius is and how sagittarius can affect you and benefit you. Now let’s list all the topics to consider that correspond to the full Moon in Sagittarius. Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams. To release all the things that no longer serve us and create blockage to our manifesting. It is the time to really truly nurture the seeds of intention you had planted during the new moon so, they can bloom and thrive. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics be grounded in those seeds of intention you had planted on the new moon.

Things To Look Out For With Sagittarius

Sagittarius And Its Connection To Chiron

In astrology, the Sagittarius sign is represented by a centaur named Chiron holding a bow and arrow. Because of this, It is also sometimes called the archer sign.

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, 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.

The Flower Moon

The May full moon is also called the Flower Moon for pretty obvious reasons. As we make our way towards summer, the trees and bushes seem to overflow with blooms. The name comes from the Algonquin tribes of what is now the northeastern United States, who called it the Flower Moon because of the abundant flowers that bloom at this time of year. While all full moons can be a time of great potential and magic, witches and spiritual teachers around the world often cite the Full Flower Moon as one of the most powerful. As Mother Earth is now in full spring bloom, this is a potent time for manifestation, intention setting, and new possibilities.

Sagittarius 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, the full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality. 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.

Full Moon Fire Release

One fun way to combine the energy of the full moon and the element of fire under this Sagittarius full moon is by doing a paper burning ritual.

Sit quietly for a few moments and reflect on the intentions you want to set and what you would like to release, for this full moon cycle. Answer these journal prompts:

Identify Limiting Beliefs

What beliefs do I hold about myself or my abilities that might be limiting my potential?
Are there any negative thoughts that frequently come to mind when I think about achieving my goals?

Explore Past Experiences

Are there past experiences that still affect my confidence or decision-making today?
What events in my life have shaped my self-image, and how might they be holding me back?

Examine Fears and Doubts

What fears come up when I consider pursuing my goals, and where do they come from?
How do these fears manifest in my actions or inaction?

Next, simply write down what you want to release with the full moon based on the questions you just pondered.

Then, over a fire safe bowl or cauldron burn your paper with a lighter or the flame of a lit candle. As the flame overtakes your paper, observe the way it moves and meditate on your intention of releasing.

Dispose of the ashes by offering them to the earth, burying them, or pouring them into a stream of running water. Or you can keep them to make into black salt later! ( To learn how check out my facebook page) For added potency you can do this at bonfire as well!

Fire Gazing Ritual

Fire gazing is a practice which involves sitting in front of a fire or flame and contemplating or connecting with the force within the flames. Fire gazing rituals are meant to help open up an individual’s spiritual self, allowing them to tap into powerful inner knowledge. It is believed to aid in elevating energy levels, calming the mind and putting oneself in a trance-like state.

Fire gazing is a form of meditation, but with an added layer of intensity. By allowing yourself to be fully present and concentrate on the flame of a fire, you are able to drift off from your physical reality, discover hidden parts of your soul and draw in inspiration from the otherworldly realm. Fire gazing can be an effective tool for connecting with one’s inner divinity, providing moments of peace in noisy environments and releasing negativity and guilt.

How to do fire gazing

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