The Key Energies with the New Moon in Sagittarius

With the New Moon in Sagittarius, we are being guided powerful half horse/half man of the centaur who carries a bow which is focused on the distance...the far-reaching focus, the big picture, the adventure of travelling beyond.

The fire element of this sign means it is a time for action, boldness, finding that fire in the belly to pursue something new and brings a sense of adventure. Fire also brings purification - removing what is no longer needed or true to you. And the element of fire defies gravity with this freedom it reaches for the skies to light up the world.

The ruling planet of Jupiter, is the planet expansion and blessings.  Jupiter's influence makes this a time to really expand yourself through study or travel for both will be blessed by the energies of this planet. Gratitude is another part of this moon cycle.

Sagittarius is in the life area of the 9th house of philosophy and seeking; searching out answers beyond what we know or have been taught. Time in the 9th House coupled with the expansive nature of Jupiter can initiate a call to undertake a Spiritual Quest to connect with the bigger picture of your life and who you are becoming.

Invoking the Goddess

The virgin goddess held her strong values around purity and roamed mountains and forests with her dog companion. She is Mother to the creatures. The energy of her bow and arrow skills  (given to her by her Father Jupiter) were a talisman to help focus thoughts and intentions but also used to maintain her value of purity.
