To Begin a New Journey, You Must First Release Old Baggage

December 11, 2023



At 12:57 a.m.: The moon is sextile Pluto, and the moon void of course begins

Just after midnight, the Scorpio moon sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, engendering release. Under this influence, we perceive an essential truth and surrender to its transformative power. If we’ve invested ourselves in a dream, goal, or relationship, it can be hard to let go. Not only must we accept that something is no longer healthy for us, emotionally, mentally, physically, or financially—but we must trust that better is waiting on the other side. Heed your intuition. You know what you must do.  The moon begins a void of course following this aspect, an excellent occasion to cut cords or withdraw your energy from a toxic or problematic engagement.   

At 3:11 a.m.: The moon enters Sagittarius, and the moon void of course ends

In the pre-dawn hours, the moon enters Sagittarius, ending its void of course. This lunar influence allows us to see the big picture. We are now in the dark of the moon in the run-up to tomorrow’s new moon. This is a time of shedding. Consider what you are leaving behind to prepare for an even greater journey. Also, consider what you will take with you. Pack light. An adventure awaits.
