New Moon in Sagittarius
If you’re feeling the pinch, it might just be growing pains, as the New Moon in Sagittarius, occurring at 1° on November 23rd (10:57 GMT), is set to activate a seven months long shift, bringing you into alignment with your destined path…And thus making it evident just how far you may have strayed from it.
What arises during this time might be a sense of pride and adulation, at what you have thus far accomplished, or a penetrating sense of failure or discontent at that which you have yet to.
If you find that it’s the latter, can you sit in the discomfort of what arises and bear witness without judgment. Seeing it as an opportunity to acknowledge where you’re at on your journey, potentially giving you the impetus to get to where you ultimately want to be.
Adding weight to this reflective process will be Chiron in Aries inconjunct the South Node in Scorpio, bringing any attachment you may have to the past - the longing for what you had, what you feel you lost, and the pain of what once wounded you and may continue still to hurt - into focus, highlighting the ways in which it is affecting your present.
When raking over the coals, be cautious, as things may not always be as you remember them, especially when influenced by the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces squaring Mars in Gemini. Thus you’d do well to be discerning when it comes to your interpretation of historical events, as twisting the truth to fit your own narrative may have unknowingly become ingrained.
Ultimately, you must acknowledge that you can’t move forward if you’re still stuck in the past. But the question is, are you truly ready to shed it, to let it go?
It’s crucial to be honest with yourself. Not just about where you’re presently at, but also in regards to what has gone before and the part you played in both its creation and subsequent destruction. Can you have the willingness to take ownership of your story and find gratitude for the things that didn’t work out as you’d hoped, in the acknowledgement that actually, they worked out as they were destined to?
If so, this can be a deeply healing time for you.
With the New Moon conjunct the Sun, Venus and Mercury, all in positive aspect to both Pluto in Capricorn and the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, transformation and expansion are really at the forefront of this lunation. Aided exponentially by Jupiter stationing direct just moments after the Moon reaches its peak point.
So, it’s important to hone your focus in on what you want and what you have, rather than what you fear and what you lack. To get clear on your vision and develop the courage to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done, as indicated by Saturn in Gemini trine Mars in Aquarius.
You’ve never been gifted a more opportune time to upgrade your life and make shit (finally) happen, but understand that in order to do so, you will be required (by Saturn square the North Node-Uranus conjunction) to challenge your sense of limitation and learn to think and do things differently.
When you get down to it, you might come to find that the only thing that’s been holding you back all along has really just been…you?
Understand that the choices you make now will ultimately determine the landscape of your life by this cycle’s completion on the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 4th 2023, at 13°. So have intention, make it count.
