Inner Circle Strength 

Represented by half person half horse, they show characteristics of strength, resilience and power. When they walk into a room their presence is known. They’re super confident, and they’re happy to transfer that confidence to the people around them. The ones they love are so lucky because they’re extremely loyal and do everything possible to protect them. They like to stay feeling free so being tied down isn’t something they typically enjoy but will do it for their inner circle. They’re always thinking of the ones they love, even though they may not seem like it because their not much bothers them mantra. 

Confidence is Key 

You may find yourself taking on a lot in many aspects of life. As a half horse, Sag’s tends to carry the load of others. If people are opening up to you with personal stories, it may be heavy on your heart. You may also find your work life to be hectic, but remember it’s because you’re such an asset. So with that, time for self-care is extra needed during the next month. Write a list of all of the things that you love to do to tune into your most peaceful state and try to do once a day! Your relationships in life will be ready to take the deeper steps as your loyalty grows stronger. Really take in the moments that you notice opening up with family, friends, partners… Remember the confidence of a Sagittarius and stand tall! 

The Many Moons of Sag Season 

A new moon and solar eclipse land on December 4th, which means future intention making time. We’ve been working so hard at our dreams and maybe even feel like they’re too far away to reach some days. Write it all down. Put it on your vision board. Just get it out of your head and into the universe. Focus on the thing that you’re worried may or may not happen and instead of letting it consume you so you can’t take action, let it start taking action on its own. We’re going to be focusing a lot on our inner circle so we need to also take the time for ourselves. On December 18th, we’re welcoming the Full Moon (Cold Moon), which gets its name from the rather chilly months we have approaching. Get snuggled up in your layers and take the time to really chat this season.

New Moon: November 26-29

Moon Cycle: November 26-December 24

Keywords: Release, ease, new beginning, start again, healing, reflection, honour, success, opportunities for abundance

The new moon in Sagittarius comes with a sweet sense of relief. If you felt that the past moon cycle which started in Scorpio on October 27th was a challenging time, full of inner conflict, tense emotions, unexpected changes, you can find comfort in this new moon cycle that falls in the wisdom-filled and healing vibrations of Sagittarius. With such a turbulent moon cycle (which included Mercury Retrograde to boot) behind us, it is a wonderful time in this new moon phase to rest in the dark and reflect upon the intentions you set, what manifested and what can be learned before you move into the final complete moon cycle of 2019.

Embrace Intuition, Breathe Through Change

While this new moon in Sagittarius brings a healing energy with it, we will be wise not to get too comfortable. Last moon cycle brought with it a feeling of disruption, a vibe of tension, fear of change and an array of challenges. Things were manifesting for us behind the scenes and many of us were confronted with the feeling of working so hard while waiting for results that never come. Understand that much of what happens to help direct our lives occurs behind the scenes and out of sight. So while we may be feeling as though nothing is coming to fruition, this new moon cycle may challenge that belief and bring swift change that could inspire feelings of fear or even a disbelief in our abilities to act as we must. Remember that we are all experiencing the same new moon and that others are feeling the same pressures and fears of rapid change. This can cause an atmosphere of irritability, anger and reaction.

If you find yourself in the midst of a tumultuous cycle, embrace the inherent wisdom of the centaur, the half-man, half-horse. Present in the human consciousness for centuries, the symbolic centaur can lend us a healing and wise energy while we decide where to aim our arrow next. Take time to find your breath. Moments of meditation and silence are when we are best able to tap into our intuition. Let your intuition comfort and guide you so that you can enjoy the ride.

Abundance On Tap

In spite of the tensions, there is opportunity to find the abundance you have been striving towards with this new moon. In fact, expect opportunities to present themselves to you and ensure you recognize them for what they truly are. Remain open and flexible and you will be in a better position to make the most of any situation that presents itself to you, finally generating the health, happiness and abundance you have been working towards. There is still plenty of time to ensure 2019 ends in your favour so manage any unexpected changes with grace and gratitude. They could be just the change you needed.

Moon Cycle: From December 7th – January 4th

Full Moon: December 22nd

Keywords: Anger, Irritability, Frustration, Inner Growth, Honesty, Integrity, Energy, Focus

As much as we may be ready to fly into this final new moon of 2018 with a boisterous spirit (it IS the season, after all) we would do well to proceed with caution as we look towards the finish line of the year. Setting ourselves up for the successful 2019 that we deserve means ending this one with grace, and ensuring we don’t let astral happenings conflict with our intentions.

Proceed With Caution
Everyone knows this time of year can be as stressful as it can be joyous. We are all trying to tie up the loose ends as well as ensure we arrive dressed as our best selves in the new year. That said, this new moon arrives square Mars and Neptune, causing a testing alignment that can influence feelings of anger, despair, fear, and confusion. Further to that, some people may be prone to irritability or an unprecedented desire to gain power in some way.

Be Adventurous

Understanding the cosmos is our number one tool to working with them. Knowing that we may be more prone to feelings of fear and uncertainty can help us prepare with self-awareness if we find ourselves spiralling. Now is a wonderful time to leverage the traits of Sagittarius to our advantage in order to ride the wave of unpredictable feelings and impulsive reactions, working them to our advantage. The heart of a Sagittarius is an adventurous one so treat this next month as an exciting adventure. You will have many personalities and unexpected situations to navigate. But if you focus with intention for an outcome that serves you best, you will complete this adventure with your feet firmly on the ground.

Embrace Joy 

If you notice people around you are spinning their wheels, practice self-awareness and don’t get caught up. Support those in need and help them with their challenges to the best of your ability (while making sure you are not being taken for granted, of course) Face challenges with joy, and allow yourself to dream big, embrace opportunity, and optimism. This has been an amazing year for inner growth. If you have been putting in the work, the majority of the changes and shifts that happened occurred internally. Next year, you will see that translate into the physical realm if you continue to embrace joy at every opportunity, express gratitude and practice self-love and self-care. Take stock of what came into fruition for you this year. Set new intentions during this new moon to emerge from within and claim what is yours in 2019.
