New Moon In Sagittarius...

(Artist:  David Palladini)

Today, Thursday, November 25th, is a New Moon in the sign of Sagittarius. There is also a total Eclipse of the Moon.  Over all, this will be a good time to take a good look at the bigger picture of life.  The Moon signifies the inner self, the private more instinctual self.  The New Moon is when the time is ripe for regrouping, forming new plans, and experiencing new beginnings.  The Solar Eclipse signifies a new chapter with  new beginnings intertwined with expansive vision.

There is a positive Trine aspect between the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, and the rather unpredictable Uranus in Aries Retrograde.  The impulsive and wild Retrograde energy will act as a catalyst to the fiery impulses of the New Moon.  This energy will help to jump start us and to get us moving to seek and pursue the positive in our quest in life.  Pay attention to the positive miracles manifesting around you.  Experience the joy.


There is also a Grand Trine with Mars in Virgo, Jupiter in Taurus Retrograde, and Pluto in Capricorn (all earth signs).  We can take grounded action towards making our visions and ideals manifest.  The energy produced by this Grand Trine acts as a support for the other energies present during the cycle.  Even if there are snags in communications, things will still move forward.

The Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus are all in Sagittarius.  Expect to feel extra vocal with an urge to be rather boisterous and speak your mind.  The energy might also produce the need of being drawn to seek meaningful experiences, and to look for social situations that add more spice.  Look for new ideas and ways to venture outside of the box.

Chiron is in Pisces, making a tense Square to the New Moon.  It suggests that we need to heal wounds of separation between our 'higher' mind, and our logic mind ~ between our Divine aspect, and our human aspect.  Take apart the illusion and limitation of statements or false beliefs, such as "I'm only human".  Rise up and claim your sacred power, and your stance in life.  We must experience and feel our wholeness.  Gage how sensitive issues are to you to know what is worth healing, and what should be dissolved/let go.

This is a great time to set fresh intensions/goals for yourself, and take steps to make them real in your life.  Relax and let visions or inspirations come to you.  They may appear in a flash, but you will know them when you experience them.

With all of the mutable energy (Sagittarius) and fire signs being activated, we can be over impulsive in speaking, spending, and/or acting.  You may feel scattered or spread too thin, and need to regroup or get clear on your intention. Remember, because you have been feeling the need to speak your truth, allow others to do the same.  Don't stay on your soap box too long.  If the need arises to revise your plans or to regroup and re-energize, listen and step back for a bit.  It is important to refuel if your energy is running low.

The Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius invites us to find and pursue our quest, and to feel passionate about our lives. We must seek meaningful experiences for fueling inner passion for living.  Aim for the stars and align your potential.


  • Chiron:     A minor planet in the outer solar system.  Discovered in 1977 by Charles T. Kowal, it is the first known member of a newer class of objects known as "Centaurs".  Classified as both an asteroid, and a comet, its orbit is between Saturn and Uranus.  Chiron is named for the eldest and wisest Centaur of Greek mythology, an immortal god who was son of the Titan, Kronos, and half brother to Zeus.

  • Grand Trine:     An aspect representing very easy energy.  It nourishes the continuous use of natural talents and abilities, is an area of comfort, and can assist life in being either positive or negative.

  • Retrograde:     The appearance of a planet moving backward.  It creates frustration, delays, nervousness and the feeling that the same or a similar experience is being repeated.

  • Square:     An aspect representing harsh energy.  It creates conflict, intensity, stress, the feeling of being out-of-balance.  It promotes self growth.  The aspect can be negative.

  • Trine:     An aspect of easy energy.  It creates an ease in life, enhances natural talents or abilities, and is an enjoyable area of life.  Trines are generally positive.
