Sagittarius
New Moon 2014
We enter the darkest time of year
with a fire sign that wants to light up the sky. The Sun and Moon enter Sagittarius almost
simultaneously on Saturday morning, November 22, and the New Moon occurs soon
after. The light Sagittarius has to
offer to the world is its mainstay—the Truth.
As we emerge from our Scorpio
death, rebirth and initiation into Sagittarius’ new vision of Life, we get to
confront the truths in our lives we’ve been avoiding. Truths we cannot avoid any longer.
On November 18th, the
Sun joins Saturn in the last few degrees of Scorpio making us aware of the
lessons Saturn has tested us with over the past 2 ½ years while it sojourned in
Scorpio. What have you learned regarding sharing who you are with other people?
With being open and honest with your feelings and needs? With sharing your resources with others? With weighing your values and seeking those
with similar values?
Old emotional wounds regarding
sharing yourself hopefully have been cleaned up and healed. Saturn
in Scorpio tells us that it’s time to stop blaming others, the world and ourselves
for the emotional pain we all suffer. Scorpio’s lesson to us is that pain is part of life. Our job is to handle that pain with
consciousness and courage.
Saturn enters Sagittarius in
December 23rd for the first time since 1986. (What was happening in your life back then?) It will retrograde back into Scorpio from June
to September 2015, and then it begins our testing of Sagittarius’ goals—to know
what our beliefs are and if we live by them.
Never doubt we’ll be tested!
That’s why it’s important for us
to see our truth, walk our talk, and share the vision of the possible human—an awake
and responsible human being. This month before
the Winter Solstice is celebrated as a time of visioning and hope, a time when
the light comes from within each person as the outer darkness grows. What
if we each became a light to the world this month? What if we shine out this month with our
Truth, regardless of what others expect of us?
What beautiful Light we have
within us! Bring it out and let it guide
you through the darkness of these times.
Sagittarius
A New Moon is the beginning of a
new cycle, a time when a seed idea or feeling is planted in the unconscious so
it can grow to awareness up until the next Full Moon.
A Sagittarius New Moon poises the
question: What do you believe and do you have the faith to keep believing? What do you understand how following the
Cosmic Laws of the Universe (uni=one—world) makes us whole?
Sagittarius is the sign of the seeker,
the philosopher, the curious wanderer.
Sagittarius wants to find the meaning of life, and so keeps looking over
the horizon for a new way to see the world.
Out of the dark rebirth of Scorpio comes a need to see the Light and
understand the grace of that re-birth. Our mind projects outwards into the unknown
and we open to unexpected experiences.
We are on a Quest—the quest for the meaning of life. While our experiences define us, our ability
to look at different perspectives sets the tone for the intuitive leap of understanding which is central to Sagittarius’
quest for meaning.
There is optimism and a sense of enthusiasm
for new adventures that defines Sagittarius’ energy. This mutable fire sign wants the freedom to
explore and expand our awareness until we can see into the cosmos and know we
belong to it. Our life has meaning and
we are not alone in our search.
We don’t need to travel to
foreign countries to find a bigger perspective, although that is always fun,
and Sags’ do love to travel. We can also
travel in our minds with a good book, or just travel outside our daily
habits. This is a great month to break
old habits and develop new ones. Think
and act outside the box!
Sagittarius New Moon 2014
The Sagittarius New Moon occurs
on Saturday, November 22 at 4:32am PST/ 7:32am EST/ 12:32pm GMT.
The New Moon is joined by Venus,
Ceres and Vesta in Sagittarius, bringing the feminine gifts of connection,
nurturing and wholeness to the party. These feminine energies want to be
integrated into whatever your new belief system is. This is a good time to begin to operate in a
partnership mode—using both sides of the brain and working with men and women
who share your vision and can expand on it.
The New Moon’s energy also squares
Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. Both these
planets are ending their retrograde phase and turning direct—Neptune on November
16th and Chiron on November 23rd. They challenge us to integrate other realms
of consciousness into our new routines.
Meditation is always a good
start. Stay open to the gifts of the
imagination so you can’t be deluded by the manipulation of symbols by the
corporate media. Weave creativity,
imagination and intuition into your understanding of life. We have to become a more compassionate
society, one in which is it not against the law to feed the hungry and find
shelter for the homeless. We have to see
the big picture as well as the details.
Neptune turns direct on November
16th at 5* Pisces: A Church
bazaar. This is a symbol of giving
the most mundane activities a spiritual basis.
Spirit/God/Goddess is present in everything we do. Be joyful when you cook, be gracious when
you shop, be loving when you deal with people.
These spiritual values never go out of style. Pay attention to your dreams now that Neptune
is moving forward again.
The Sabian symbol for the Sun and
Moon at 1* Sagittarius is: Joyous reunion
of Army veterans around a campfire.
These veterans share a common vision and ideals, committing themselves
to stand up for their beliefs and even to suffer hardships for the good of
others and for those ideals. Let us also
stand up for what we believe and not back down when it seems the darkness is
growing. All darkness is dispelled by
the Light. Be a Light to the World!
Other Astrological Happenings
Last week Mars reconnected with
both Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries.
In April, Mars in Libra became part of the cardinal grand cross along
with this Uranus/Pluto square.
On November 10th, Mars
joined Pluto instead of squaring it as it did in April. In hardworking Capricorn Pluto and Mars join
up to get some work done. Have you been
sensing some urgency in getting yourself on track? With these two planets, we can develop the
discipline, purpose and concentration to eliminate obstacles to develop skills
that can transform our lives. Power
struggles can occur but it isn’t about overthrowing external authorities but
rather the internal patriarchal voice that criticizes and confuses us. This combination can give us the passion to
make positive changes in habits. We have
to learn to take care of our own needs, so we can really understand what others
need.
On Wednesday November 12th,
Mars squared Uranus in Aries instead of opposing it as it did last April. The surprises no longer come from outside
ourselves, but now are more internal.
These energies are rebellious and push us toward independence—helping us
break free from our own expectations as well as those of others.
Pluto tells us the truth we’re
reluctant to face, Uranus brings us the surprise of this discovery and Mars
gives us the present moment in which to work things out. We can’t plead innocent about our
responsibility. It’s up to us to embrace
what we’ve been denying.
The 6th square between
Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries is coming up in December. Look for more about it in the Gemini Full
Moon Cosmic Story.
Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius
is slowing down, preparing to turn retrograde on December 8th. It’s in Leo, so let it show you where you
need to get more creative in your life and spend its retrograde period working
on your project.
There is a brilliant grand trine
in the sky between this New Moon & Venus in Sagittarius, Uranus in Aries
and Juno and Jupiter in Leo. With all
that fire, don’t be afraid to light up your life with vision, inspiration and
fun during the holidays!
Walk in the Light,
Cathy
