Waxing Moon in Sagittarius

The New Moon ventures farther from the Sun, Sagittarian enthusiasm giving a boost to her journey. Still in the seed time of the lunar cycle, we're invited today to look farther afield as we craft our wishes and intentions. If you've already made your wishes, the Moon in Sagittarius will carry your messages to the far reaches of the cosmos.

This Moon is ready to embrace change. Right now, she bridges between Venus, retrograde in Scorpio and exploring the depths of relationships, and Pluto in Capricorn, ready to move mountains to transform us. Venus and Pluto flow energy to each other in sextile, with the Moon semisextile between them.

This afternoon, the Moon joins Mars in Sagittarius (exact at 4:42pm EST), emotion and action flowing together in the energy of expansive journeys. We may feel things shift in a big way, and need to remember that Sagittarius has a tendency to grow too fast. Channel this optimism and drive into steady, sustainable growth.

Just after midnight (12:47am EDT Monday), the Moon reaches her sextile with balanced Saturn in Libra, whose energy can provide a calming influence if needed. Energy and enthusiasm abound today. After the intensity of Scorpio's depths, Sagittarius can feel like having the Sun on our faces afters days of thick clouds. Our goal is to remember what we learned in the shadows, as we bask in radiant warmth.
