Successfully Surfing This Sagittarius New Moon
Intuition vs Rationality
Over this Sagittarius new moon trust your intuition and honour your inner voice. Sometimes it asks us to do things that are beyond our comfort zone, or takes us into the unknown. The more we listen and act on our inner wisdom the easier it becomes to trust it. Start with easy things first like calling someone if they pop into your head, going to a social event, or turning right instead of left, regardless of what your rational mind is telling you. The more you trust and follow your instinct, the stronger it becomes and the easier it is to listen and follow it.
Reignite your Energy
The Sagittarius new moon is the most optimistic of all the moons and it comes at the perfect time, as we head towards mid-winter and the dark half of the year. It urges us on, if we have been feeling sluggish, and reignites our enthusiasm and passion. The last two weeks we have been focused on both practical and business matters under the Taurus full moon. Now, under the Sagittarius new moon, we can begin to feel a more joyful, abundant and enthusiastic energy permeating our lives, both personally and professionally. And with Mercury now direct we can enjoy the opportunities this positivity can magnetise for us. All we need to do is be open to the magic.
Turn off and Let Go of Negativity
As the media news gets more depressing you may have been feeling despondent, depressed or pessimistic about the future. Turn off the negativity and get back into nature to remember what is really important. We can't individually change the mess of the external world, but we can clear up our inner state. Jupiter, Sagittarius's ruling planet, rules the liver, the organ that filters out the toxicity and rids the body of excess. Use the new moon energy to help filter out the toxicity in your life, now your house is more in order, listen to your intuition to find the truth and turn the news off.
Thanksgiving
This is the moon of thanksgiving and comes at the perfect time. It’s easy to get caught up in other peoples dramas and feel the victim of circumstance or other people, especially as we head into the winter months. Focusing on gratitude for the wonderful things we have helps shift the focus away from feeling a victim of life. Instead, recognise the things you may be taking for granted to shift any negative, hopeless feelings. The sun is always shining even when we cannot see it and sometimes we have to change our perspective to recognise all the beautiful and loving things in our lives. The Sagittarius new moon reminds us to count our blessings, while dancing in the rain.
Open your Mind
The Sagittarius moon is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and inner growth. This is a good time to do something new, as this new moon encourages us to expand our minds and increase our knowledge. Interests, hobbies and talents that have been suppressed or forgotten may re-emerge now, so be alert to things that catch your interest. Doors may open at this time to learn something new, join a symposium or take a class in something that fascinates you. Be courageous and follow your passion and intuiton.
Enjoy the Journey
The most important thing is to enjoy the journey at every moment; regardless of whether things are happening the way you wanted them to or not. The Sagittarius new moon reminds us to live life as an adventure and free our minds from the fear that creates barriers, and restricts us. Try this experiment if you don’t like where you are in life. Set the intention for a positive adventure, or for something that you want to happen, however impossible it may seem. Once your heart is clear and without doubt that it can come to pass, write it down and store it somewhere safe. Then you must have the patience and wait for it to manifest. It will eventually manifest if you don't let go of the dream but remember, nature takes her time.
