As the year draws toward its close, the New Moon in Sagittarius arrives on December 19 like a spark of hope in the winter sky. This lunation is a sacred pause between what has been and what is becoming — an invitation to lift your eyes from the past and look toward the horizon of possibility.

Sagittarius, the archer and eternal seeker of truth, reminds us that life is not meant to be lived small or stagnant. Ruled by Jupiter, planet of expansion, wisdom, and faith, this New Moon encourages us to dream boldly, believe deeply, and set intentions rooted in meaning rather than fear.

The Spirit of Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac. It governs our beliefs, our personal truths, our longing for freedom, and our desire to understand the bigger picture. Where Scorpio asked us to shed old skins, Sagittarius asks:

What do you believe now?
What future feels worth moving toward?

This is a moon of optimism — not naive hope, but hard-won faith. The kind that comes from experience, wisdom, and trust in your inner compass.

Themes of the Sagittarius New Moon

• Expansion and growth

• Faith, optimism, and hope

• New beliefs and perspectives

• Releasing limiting stories

• Truth-telling and authenticity

• Travel, learning, and spiritual exploration

• Setting intentions for the road ahead

This is an especially powerful New Moon for vision-setting, especially as we prepare to cross into a new year.

Final Reflections: Trust the Arrow’s Flight

The New Moon in Sagittarius reminds us that we don’t need every answer before we begin. We only need enough courage to take the next step, and enough faith to believe the path will meet us.

As the year closes, this moon invites you to release the weight of old doubts and choose a vision that feels honest, expansive, and alive.

Aim your intention with care.
Trust your inner compass.
And let hope lead the way forward.
