New Moon in Sagittarius: Taking a Leap of Faith Into a Bright Future

Boy oh boy has the energy leading up to this New Moon been intense! We had a three week Mercury Retrograde taking us down into the depths and shadows confronting inner truths and demons. Lots of inner transformation hopefully took place. All of this was leading to outer change. Over the weekend Mars opposed Uranus bringing change, shakeups and the unexpected. Venus and Jupiter were conjunct and right in line with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy bringing so much growth, hope, expansion, love and a doorway into a bright future. Now to top it off right after that energy is a New Moon and new start in Sagittarius. 

There really aren't big aspects to the New Moon. It's more about the lead up to it that was important. Change is here. New beginnings. The New Moon in Sagittarius is about looking towards the future, out towards the horizon, with hope, faith and optimism. Ready to expand and grow. Ready for a new adventure. We've done the inner work and confronted truths hopefully (we're still processing and integrating it all.) We've experienced some change or shakeups already. Maybe desire (Mars in Scorpio) for change (Uranus). For some there may be endings. We've experienced a doorway of just the best possible things you could want with Venus and Jupiter. This New Moon is way tied into Venus-Jupiter because it's in Sagittarius and we won't see a New Moon in Sagittarius with Jupiter there for 12 years. This is lucky. Take this positive opportunity. Dream big and move into this bright future. If you believe and have optimism, the world really can be your oyster right now. This energy this week/past weekend can be intense, edgy and bring with it some endings, but truly what's overwhelming about this energy is just how dang positive it can be. So much opportunity! Step into this doorway of light. Choose this positive new path and look out towards a bright future. 

Full Moon in Taurus: Confronting Your Inner Truths While Preparing for Intense Change

Tomorrow (November 12th) early in the morning we have a Full Moon in Taurus. There's lots of change in the air, yet we are still in Mercury Retrograde gathering information. 

The New Moon cycle we had was opposing Uranus. Yet Mars was square Saturn and then Mercury Retrograde came shortly after. The cycle was about radical change and transformation, but some restrictions and blocks in the way of moving forward. Not to mention Mercury Retrograde showing up and saying we need more information. Still lots of change in the air. 

This Full Moon shows this as well. The Sun is in Scorpio. It's the season of transformation. It's a Full Moon, it's a culmination point, but also right after a time to release. Especially in Scorpio season. It's autumn, trees are shedding their leaves and you must shed the old. With the Moon in Taurus, release foundations that are old. Stop hanging on to what is stagnant, dead and not working. Or others may be in a different situation needing to let themselves build new foundations. Allow the new changes to come in and take root. It's kind of like our lives are like trees. Some people have an old dead tree on their hands and it's time for it to go. To be chopped down and turned into firewood or something. Other people are tending to a new tree, letting those roots grow deeper and really anchored into the earth beneath it. 

While we are in a time of release, transformation and change, it is still Mercury Retrograde. Change is still happening regardless, but maybe more internally as we prepare for the actual more external change. There's lots to be looked at, processed and let go of within yourself. It can get uncomfortable, but it's necessary. There's also lots of information that can keep coming up as well. More to be discovered. Especially since at the time of the Full Moon Mercury had just previously been aligned with the Sun. A lot more information may be coming to light. Sometimes Mercury can get blocked out by the Sun, so right before the Full Moon we could either be like 'aha' or not quite get where things are going. Regardless afterwards it emerges with new information. 

While not exact the Sun and Moon are moving into an aspect with Pluto at this time. Again confirming change and transformation in the works. Whatever changes are being wrought internally and about to be externally, will be for the best. There's an intensity though with all of this that's for sure. All this Scorpio energy is making us delve deep. Look at our shadows. The past. Confront truths. Even be overwhelmed with our desires. It's forcing transformation, but it isn't easy. It's a time that can bring about some discomfort. There's a bit of a squirming quality as we're faced with the underworld, the hidden shadows, truths and secrets previously kept. It's all for the good though! Positive transformation is here! 

While all that Scorpionic stuff is intense, we do have a super positive aspect going on at the same time as the Full Moon. This aspect is Mars in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. There's expansion and growth happening. There's even a sense of luck and positive opportunities. It's funny cause at the New Moon Mars squared Saturn, so while it was a new phase there was a lot of restrictions and blocks. Now Mars is sextile Jupiter. Now we can grow! Now there is opportunity. We can see a glimpse of a bright future. With Mars in Libra this can bode well for one on one relationships and connections in particular. Opportunities to see how to move forward. Optimistic feelings of future opportunities for positive relationship growth. 

Also, Saturn in Capricorn just finished it's final sextile with Neptune. Reality and dreams can work together. If you so decide and put a bit of effort in, your dreams can come true. Amidst the intensity, deep reflection  and change, there's a lot of positivity as well at this time! 

It's been intense lately, that's for sure. With a Full Moon while the Sun is in Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde is in Scorpio it can get emotional and the emotions can run real deep. It's also a little too easy to get too caught up in the dark. Everything is moving towards positive transformation though. I'm telling you, once this Mercury Retrograde is over there will be lots of change unfolding. Right now its happening internally. We are processing and discovering new bits of important information. It's all pushing us towards major change in our lives and there's so much opportunity. We can totally make our dreams reality. Just be willing to transform.To shed your snakeskin. Be brave enough to face your shadows and your truth. It's all good, it's also just intense as fuck.
