New Moon in Sagittarius — the article

On Dec. 1st, at 1:21am EST, the New Moon in 9.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact.

The New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius asks us to go beyond our day-to-day knowledge and look for a larger perspective. Also, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject.

Before we dive in, I just wanted to mention briefly two things that may be of interest to you:

Firstly, I am excited to say that we have another Soulivity Today Show: “Hot Astrology with Sonja”, which will air on Dec. 6th at 8am EST ==> We will discuss the perfect gifts for each zodiac sign and explain what they like best and why!

Back to the New Moon:

New Moons are a great time to catch our breath, hit the pause button on our life, and set some intentions for the new Lunar cycle.

We will talk about the best and most potent time to set those Intentions towards the end of this article, so keep reading…

Lots to consider with this New Moon:

There are two exalted planets at the time of the New Moon: Neptune in Pisces and Mars in Leo (we also discussed this in our webinar: “Mercury, Mars, Saturn & Neptune — All Exalted!”

**Star Members already have access to this; for everyone else, click here

Mercury starts its 3-week Retrograde phase 5 days prior to the New Moon becoming exact (on Nov. 25th in the evening)

Mercury is all about communication, collecting & processing information, our inner dialog, and our decision-making process.

During the Retrograde phase, until Dec. 15th, we are invited to reevaluate and reorganize our thoughts and any information we have absorbed or received in the last three months.

Ask yourself: Did I make any significant decisions in the past three months? What are my perspectives on those decisions now? What needs to be reconsidered? What needs to shift?

==> We also talked about this in our most recent Soulivity Today Show from Nov. 8th (feel free to watch or re-watch that episode)

Here are some highlights in regards to aspects in this New Moon chart:

• This New Moon makes a wide conjunction with a Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius
• The New Moon trines an exalted Mars & the North Node in Aries, creating a Grand Fire Trine
• The New Moon squares Saturn in Pisces, and opposes its own ruler: Jupiter (currently in Gemini), creating a T-Square with Saturn as the Focal Point
• Jupiter opposes Retrograde Mercury and sextiles Chiron in Aries (Jupiter & Mercury are still in a mutual reception)
• Lastly, there are two more aspects in this New Moon chart: a Mars-Pluto opposition, and a Venus-Uranus Trine

More about all that in a moment, but first, let’s look at the wide Sun/Moon/Mercury conjunction in Sagittarius:

This combo urges us to re-examine our beliefs and their impact on our lives. It invites us to examine our direct experience, see what’s true now, and move forward only once we have…

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.

So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be any time between 1:21am on Dec. 1st and 10:47am on Dec. 2nd; then again from 4:09pm (Dec. 2nd) until 1:21am on Dec. 3rd — New York Time/US Eastern Time

Note that there is a Moon void of course on Monday — it runs from 10:47am EST until 4:09pm EST. Don’t set your intentions during those 5.5 hours — instead, tune in and allow your intuition to connect to the powerful energies of this New Moon while you wait.

If you live outside the EST timezone (i.e. US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook Page, follow me on Twitter or Instagram. I will post reminders on Dec. 1st and 2nd to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions.
