A devil -may -care attitude permeates a New Moon in Sagittarius pricking our hearts with a well aimed arrow we feel expansive and exuberant daring to express our feelings in a new way.  Last month, under the guidance of the Scorpio New Moon, we penetrated the dark emotion of fear and discovered a rich vein of regenerative energy that helped us heal an emotional wound from our past. Now that we are a little more forgiving of our past and hopefully a lot more accepting of our feelings the Sagittarius New Moon provides a fresh view of both. The Sagittarius New Moon is always the last lunar cycle of the year suggesting that as the year ends so too our patterns of behavior that have prevented us from feeling safe, secure, and comfortable in our own skin.

Every New Moon brings the opportunity for a conscious illumination of our unconscious motives and the dark face of this New Moon reflects fanaticism and self-righteous behaviors that prevent people from hearing one another and truly connecting in meaningful conversations and enthusiastic exchanges of ideas; lest we forget that “meaningful enthusiasm” is one of he great joys of a Sagittarius New Moon.  The Sun, our life vitality, and  the Moon, our eternal source, conjoined at 25 degrees of Sagittarius very near the Galactic Center insuring that whatever we discover about our  personal feelings will spiritually expand the consciousness of humanity. At the exact time of the New Moon conjunction the Sun and Moon were in creative harmony with Neptune, the principle of spiritual union, in Aquarius, the cosmic force of lightening flashes of insight. If we can keep our beliefs free flowing we are more than likely to discover within ourself a deeper feeling of inter-connection with the source of Life. The Sagittarius New Moon is telling us that our discovery of a deeper spiritual connection to Life begins when we open our mind and heart to the thoughts and feelings of our family, friends, and neighbors.
