The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs on Monday night,
December 2, 2013 setting the tone for the upcoming month. The dark Moon time over the weekend had Moon
in intensely emotional Scorpio. Scorpio
and the dark Moon time are great for deep inner probing in order to clear out
the emotional junk we all carry.
The New Moon in Sagittarius lifts us out of that
emotional muck urging us on to higher things.
This is the season, as the days get shorter, that leads us into that
point in time when the shift from dark to light begins, the Winter Solstice.
Sagittarius brings out the philosopher in all of us. This sign provides the push to explore the
far horizon seeking meaning and purpose.
There’s a strong feeling of religious conviction and the need for
justice. If one does not take the high
road, the Sagittarian ideal can become one of hypocritical self righteousness. The energy of this New Moon is one of
enthusiasm, freedom, learning and teaching.
Any and all activities that expand the mind as well as the individual’s
universe receive a boost during this lunation cycle.
Mercury while still in Scorpio makes a congenial aspect
to Mars in Virgo on Tuesday. Thoughts
and actions coincide with each planet giving the other a positive push. This is
because Mars rules Scorpio and Mercury rules Virgo and each planet is in the
sign the other rules. This is called Mutual Reception.
Early Wednesday morning Moon moves into practical
Capricorn bringing us down to earth to deal with the material world reminding
us that spiritual pursuits, while uplifting, don’t do much for us when dealing
with practical issues. Moon in Capricorn
deals with the real, physical, material world and requires you to do the same.
Later in the evening Mercury slips out of Scorpio to join the Sun in
Sagittarius. All that inner probing and
spiritual searching pours out when Mercury is in Sagittarius. Talk flows freely and despite the practical
Capricorn Moon the talk runs to the philosophical and spiritual.
During the wee hours of Friday morning Moon enters
Aquarius a place where emotion chills out as rational objectivity moves
in. Folks are friendly but in a more
impersonal manner. Interest in the welfare of others prompts many a donation
when Moon is traveling through Aquarius.
The urge for freedom, independence, the new and unusual surfaces
now. During the evening commute Mercury,
the philosopher in Sagittarius squares off with Neptune in Pisces and the talk
turns once again to the spiritual. Be
wary on the road as this aspect promotes daydreaming and meditative states. Behind the wheel is not the ideal place for
these activities.
On Saturday afternoon Mars enters Libra. Mars is not comfortable here as he rules the
opposite sign, Aries. He’s a visitor in Venus’ domain and can’t run around in
his ratty old underpants while lounging around the house. Mars is going to remain in Libra for longer
than his usual stay due to his retrograde motion which begins in March when
reaching 27 degrees Libra. He cycles all
the way back to 9 degrees Libra before turning direct only moving into his home
turf of Scorpio on July 26th.
As Mars is the planet of action and energy where Libra falls in the
individual’s horoscope will be the area where the process of moving forward
will require some review or experience delay.
Early Sunday morning Moon enters Pisces. Under a Pisces Moon folks feel more
sympathetic towards others. There is
certain empathy that enables people to get an idea what it is like to walk in
another’s shoes. Unlike the more practical, material signs of the Zodiac, Moon
in Pisces senses the unseen. Heightened
awareness to the intangibles of this world surface now. Some folks go to the church of their choice
while others find their church or spiritual connection through meditation, a
walk in the woods or a seat by the ocean.
Folks are softer and gentler now.
A great time to listen to music that transports.
