New Moon in Sagittarius: Come Fly With Me

“I’m gonna live ‘til I die.”

“You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams. And life gets more exciting with each passing day .. and love is either in your heart or on its way. Don’t you know it’s worth every treasure on earth to be young at heart.”

“Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars.”

-- all by Frank Sinatra

When you think of the wisecracking but eternally fiery, optimistic energy of Sagittarius, you think of famous Sag characters like Frank Sinatra. We could all use a dose of optimism and cool, crazy fun right about now. The new Moon on December 13 arrives just in time for the holidays to sweep away November’s blues. It’s time to get back in touch with our inner gypsy, philosopher and bright spirit. Everything is possible again -- out with the doom and gloom!

Aim high and think of the big picture! The sky is definitely the limit when Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius energy prevails. New Moons are when we plant the seeds of intention for the next six months and check in on the progress during the full Moon of the same sign. Using the themes of Sagittarius, ask yourself questions like: where do you need to rekindle your flame of positivity and possibility? Where do you need to have more faith in yourself? 

If your life (or mindset) has become too stagnant or narrow, now is the time to spread your wings -- whether it’s booking a trip to an exotic locale or taking up a new course of study, or daring to take on an adventure that secretly terrifies you. What would it mean to take flight in your life? What’s holding you back? To take that proverbial leap of faith, great optimism and trust in ourselves is mandatory. The new Moon in Sagittarius says go for it! Life is too short, and you have nothing to lose except fear.
