Davina’s New Moon in Sagittarius December 1st 2024
The New Moon, astrologically, marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle. It’s a time of stillness and potential. The sky a blank slate, mirroring our opportunity to start anew. Occurring in the fiery, mutable sign of Sagittarius, it carries a generous, uplifting, forward-looking energy. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth, abundance, and wisdom, the Centaur wants to explore and expand. Have faith, this is not a moment for playing small or staying in your comfort zone; it’s a cosmic nudge to embrace bold aspirations and align yourself with a higher vision.
With the Sun and Moon conjunct in the philosopher’s home cast your net far for new ideas, thoughts, and visions of future potential. Embrace the cosmic opportunity to get curious and explore without attachment to the outcome. Let the Sagittarian jester enter your heart. There is great wisdom and healing in laughter borne from those glimpses of the cosmic joke. If anyone can invoke that gift it’s the half horse, half man Sagittarian Archer. It might get a little messy and chaotic for a while but that’s where we find the beating heart of innovation and creation.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon is: ‘A Theatrical Representation of a Golden-Haired Goddess of Opportunity’ This degree evokes the allure of grandeur and opportunity, as though a golden-haired goddess steps onto life’s stage, dazzling with charisma and promises of success. It’s a moment that invites recognition and celebration of natural talents, presenting opportunities that may feel too good to resist. These moments can lead to grand adventures and rewards, but they also carry a caution: not all that glitters is gold. Beneath the theatrics of appearances and shallow promises, discernment is key.
True opportunities are built on substance, not illusions, and this degree challenges us to look beyond the surface. Yes, embrace your talents and step confidently into the spotlight. Treating life as a stage for bold expression and exploration whilst also remaining authentic and grounded. Beware of chasing fleeting illusions or judging by appearances alone. The goddess of opportunity invites you to seize genuine chances with clarity and purpose, balancing the allure of success with a commitment to truth and meaningful growth. Do that and we align with the deeper rewards life has to offer.
The first new Moon since Pluto entered Aquarius themes of freedom and truth continue to take centre stage. Our dark cosmic Lord insists on unearthing whatever is rotten to the core. In the collective-oriented sign of Aquarius, Pluto digs into the shadows of our broken systems, those that no longer serve the social good. Under this influence we yearn to do better for each other and ourselves.
With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15th narrow your scope, the vision may be huge but right now less is more in terms of your attention. Give space to your thinking, allow your mind to travel even if your body remains at home. What end results can you imagine for yourself? This is a potent dreaming time – journal or vision board your soul’s insistent whisper, what’s it calling you towards, even if you have no idea how you’ll get there. Lean into your edges, stretch into your growth. Feel your utter aliveness and approach all with a ‘beginners mind’.
With Mercury on go slow be mindful of the centaur’s love of blunt truth. It can be unintentionally scorching if not tact checked first. However, justified it sounds in your head. However genuinely truthful. Consider first the impact of saying it aloud. Does it help anyone for it to be said aloud?
Considered to be in its detriment in Sagittarius, Mercury is suffering brain fog and struggling to realize his full potential. Yet if we just breathe into the moment, pause and wonder about a solution to whatever it is we’re considering we may just experience a lightbulb moment, or devise an innovative new approach to the issue.
