Star Notes * December 12, 2023
Dear Star Tribe, Bonjour, ✨
Welcome to the New Moon in Sagittarius, which sparks a new life-giving fire in the world soul on December 12th, at 6:32 pm ET. Thank you so much for joining me in this reflection and in every Star Notes. It is a sincere honour to share these messages.
This post is dedicated to my dad who was a fantastic model of Sagittarius magic. I am also sending a galaxy of gratitude to all Sagittarians who continually radiate joy, laughter, hope, faith, confidence and courage to embrace the highest truth in any situation.
The New Moon is a divine opportunity to fully embrace and express a sign’s core meaning and purpose for the entire 4-week lunation cycle. Ultimately, Sagittarius is about multidimensional expansion. Sagittarius and Jupiter, its planetary ruler, can guide us in taking leaps of faith into brand new frequencies and possibilities. It is time!
With the Sun & Moon aligned with Mars, in dynamic square aspect to Neptune and smoothly connected to Chiron + the North Node in Aries, we are embarking on a sacred journey of healing and empowerment that will carry us through the winter solstice and into the first days of 2024. Neptune is vibrating strongly since its recent station to direct motion just a few days ago. The planet that rules the deep seas of human consciousness from the edge of our solar system is often linked to feelings of disorientation, confusion, illusion, mystery and fogginess. When expressed more consciously, Neptune can increase our intuition, imagination and dreams as well as help us foster a sense of oneness and compassion. “Neptune is the window through which consciousness peers at cosmos -and through which the light of the cosmos pours into us.” ~Steven Forrest, The Book of Neptune
I felt this last eclipse cycle through Scorpio in November to be particularly intense personally but also in the collective. There was a strong feeling of endings, death, letting go and transformation. This new cycle through Sagittarius is facilitating a new birth in some area of life. If you know your birthchart, look to see where 20 degrees of Sagittarius lights up your life with renewed faith and joy.
These cosmic teachers stimulate the transformative power of belief. What do we truly and deeply believe is possible for our life, community and planet? This New Moon asks us to explore and enjoy a more expanded view of our personal and collective life. In the sacred symbolism of Sagittarius, we see the Archer’s arrow aimed high in the sky, valiantly flying into the bright and loving wisdom of our heart’s high truth.
As we embody the uplifting power of Sagittarius, we can more strongly believe that today can be a better day in any way that we imagine. We trust in the future and allow ourselves to feel an invigorating rebirth of life-force vitality. The mythological Centaur, half-horse, half-human represents a strong, yet grounded passion that we can feel in our legs to propel us on new ventures.
This New Moon also ignites our desire to explore the wild spaces off the beaten path and reclaim the wild soul fire within us. Take time to seek solitude and connect with your inner teacher. In preparing this post, I pulled the Wolf Medicine card, which I feel resonates with important Sagittarian wisdom for these times. “Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. Wolf medicine empowers the teacher within us to come forth and aid the children of Earth in understanding the Great Mystery and life. It is in the sharing of great truths that the consciousness of humanity will attain new heights.” ~ Medicine Cards by J. Sams & D. Carson.
May this New Moon in Sagittarius inspire you to blossom in new ways, experiment and express yourself with renewed enthusiasm. “Try things! Mess up! Experience! Live! That is what being in the body allows you to do, to have all of these wonderful experiences, so take the heavy pressure off yourselves and put the light back in your enlightenment.” ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
