The new moon in Sagittarius on 1st December is happening at 6.21am UK time at 9º32’. The tightest aspect at the time is Venus trine Uranus. The new moon itself forms a wide trine with Mars and a wide square with Saturn. Mercury retrograde will be in a wide opposition with Jupiter.
On a collective level, a lunation in Sagittarius inspires adventure, growth and expansion. The Sagittarian energy is always full of optimism. It’s not easily discouraged by the hurdles on the way. Instead, it looks ahead into the future and has its eyes fixed on the big picture. Sagittarius symbolises higher knowledge and higher truths so it’s a good time for personal growth, international travel or expanding your horizons in one way or another. Since it’s a new moon it’s worth thinking about what Sagittarian endeavours you could initiate in the next two weeks. It’s a good time to start legal proceedings, apply for citizenship or explore higher education courses. Sagittarius is larger than life and loves to inspire hope and optimism so if you happen to be in a position to be able to have a positive influence on someone, go for it. If you struggle to access the Sagittarian energy, this meditation should help but make sure you listen to it a few times.

This new moon forms a trine with Mars in Leo. Mars is drive, energy and action. A trine is a harmonious aspect and the Leo archetype wants you to be out there and shine. It’s a bit like having a voice in your head saying: “Go for it, just do it, you will be brilliant!” Of course, we cannot forget about Saturn in Pisces forming a tense aspect with this new moon so you have another voice whispering: “But are you sure?” or “Easy tiger, have you thought of this and that? Have you submitted the right paperwork? Are you sure you're ready?” The best way to deal with it is to listen to both of them but not let one dominate the other. For people with strong Mars in their charts, Mars will be louder. For those with a strong Saturn, it will be Saturn and you will likely focus more on the obstacles rather than the possibilities.
Mercury will be in retrograde motion at the time of this lunation so it’s a good time for revising or revisiting certain issues (especially, those to do with the area of your chart where Mercury is currently transiting) or getting in touch with people from the past. An aspect with Jupiter will definitely give you a confidence boost to approach people. However, an opposition can lead to overconfidence, overpromising, overcommitting yourself or exaggeration. You may find that one party focuses on their big vision and the other gets frustrated because they want to talk about the practicalities. One person might want to talk about the possibilities and the other about tangible results. If you pitch business to someone at this time, make sure you cover all your bases. By all means, get people excited about your idea but also make sure you have all the facts and figures and can provide specific actionable steps that will help bring it to life. Since Mercury is in retrograde motion, don't be surprised if you have to revisit certain issues you agreed to once it goes direct (and this applies to everyone).
The tightest aspect during this new moon is Venus trine Uranus. Venus in Capricorn is a grounded, disciplined, security-conscious and goal-oriented Venus. Uranus doesn’t shy away from rocking the boat. The trine between them suggests that some traditional, conservative approaches to beauty, relationships, values or finance may undergo a shakeup or a sudden makeover. Think new anti-ageing procedures, news of more tolerance towards unconventional couples and positive changes to how corporations or governments are run. There has been an article recently about organisations losing talent because they want to enforce office working five days a week. Perhaps during the next two weeks, we will hear news about companies keeping hybrid working for the foreseeable future. Venus is also about peace and diplomacy and in the days coming up to this new moon we heard about the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. On a personal level, this transit could add a new spark to your relationships, bring good money news or an unexpected reconciliation or inspire you to seek pleasure in unconventional places and situations.
The people most affected by this new moon are those with personal placements or angles at 8º’-10º of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) or those born on 29th-31st May, 31st August-2nd September, 31st November-2nd December and 27th February-1st March). As usual, for a more accurate forecast, you should read your Ascendent sign and not your Sun sign but bear in mind that this is very general and it might be happening in a slightly different part of your chart. If you don't know what that is, drop me an email with your date, place and time of birth and I will send you a copy of your chart (I will also add you to the list of my newsletter subscribers).
