New Moon in Sagittarius 2014
New Moon in Sagittarius 2014
“The grass was greener, the light was brighter, the taste was sweeter…” High Hopes Pink Floyd
The New Moon in Sagittarius steps it up with some needed fire and action and an open door to move beyond boundaries and territories to break barriers and also overcome viscous cycles and repetitive habits by reaching out and taking a leap of faith. As we near the end of 2014, and near to the end of the year of the horse, Jupiter, a fire sign naturally aligned with the horse, gives a last kick at releasing the reins and letting your horse run free.
Sagittarius sees the bigger picture and the forest for the trees. Jupiter ruled Sagittarius role is to teach us not to sweat the small stuff or get caught up in the details and further points to how life and the stars continually remind us that nothing remains the same nor stays static. Sagittarius resides over beliefs, religion, morality, foreign lands and distant travel, growth, higher learning, judgement, publishing and legal systems. Health shows sensitivity to the thighs, hips and liver.
The New Moon in Sagittarius roles out a new stellium stacked with a burst of Sagittarius verve the next few weeks onward from the past few weeks of the stifling stubborn Scorpio stellium hangover dragging your feet from Saturn’s heavyweight gravity holding on so tight. Sagittarius is a mutable energy, adaptable and flexible, scattered and spread thin to the flip side of the fixed Scorpio onslaught the last few weeks.
As the days get darker and the Sun’s Vitamin D diminishes, sadness and depression from Saturn’s bitter bite saw a winter cold snap coming sooner than we expected. Saturn stringent denial and limits pose strict measures cracking the whip on any overdoing, overkill and over stepping boundaries with a barrage of harassment, sexual abuse (Scorpio) issues coming out of the closet (whether substantiated or not) with further Saturn Scorpio scrutiny required.
Jupiter Leo, ruler of the Sagittarius New Moon steps it up and is fixing to overlook and overcome the continuous hindering scourge of the Saturn stiffness and depressing downers insisting it’s not too good to be true, it’s not over rated exaggeration and do get your hopes up restoring faith, hope and optimism. Jupiter Leo sits at a station with a concentrated attention to Leo matters and creativity, child like fun and games, performance and letting the light shine.
Jupiter Leo calls attention to acknowledgement, “look at me” stroking egos and giving praise celebrating accomplishment and a job well done with generous bows and whistles “way to go” which can hinge on arrogance and grandstanding and the downside of humiliation getting kicked off your high horse.
Mercury Scorpio is currently square Jupiter Leo which adds to the undesirable side to Leo to any overblown stories with misjudgement getting out of control, loose cannon full of oneself and one “doth protest too much” where Leo can take it to needless goading, bossy vying for entitlement and being noticed for being victorious while getting haughty under the collar blowing things out of proportion with all kinds of cockamania jumping to conclusions.
The New Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune Pisces with eyes on the horizon, beckoning far into the future and into the distant past. With Neptune’s influence over Sagittarius, dreams, fantasy, addiction, escape get full blown attention with big aims, lacking moderation, biting off more than you can chew, deception, smoke and mirrors and misunderstanding or confounding confusion often escalated with Sagittarius good old foot in mouth disease as wise crackers and con artists unite.
Neptune co-rules Sagittarius and continues to show that perception is reality and there are many truths, opinions, preferences, perspectives, tastes based on who you speak to where someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure and what is normal for someone may be completely crazy to someone else. Parallel universes run the gamut of being in more than one place at one time. Reality becomes more than three dimensional, forever opening and revealing more gaps and seeing more sides to a story.
Venus in Sagittarius adds to the lightness and exuberant gaiety. The rush of fire will give fire and air signs a burst of smiles the next few weeks. As the Sagittarius stellium builds to create a grand trine with Jupiter Leo and Uranus Aries, we can sing a different tune from the sad lot lately and finally proclaim “if you are happy and you know it…”. Saturn and Jupiter are antithetical energies where Saturn delays and denies, Jupiter says “yes we can”. The optimism of Sagittarius glee, Jupiter Leo joy and the riveting excitement of Uranus Aries bolsters and breaks out of any negativity, stopping at nothing to find freedom and adventure.
Mars Capricorn separates from a square to the nodal axis and the aftershocks of Mars square Uranus the last week with a thrust of adrenaline and competitive push and shove where picking your battles lost selectivity with anger mismanagement. Mars in Saturn ruled Capricorn is hard nosed to take initiative strategically while calling and culling out the assholes with “don’t let the bastards grind you down”. Mars requires taking wise energetic action and channeling it constructively, sublimating it into higher ideal purpose however Mars is an energy that needs direct physical action and an outlet or a punching bag (not your dog or friend).
As Uranus Pluto forms its next exact square in the following weeks, anxiety and fear also surge and rise up again. Uranus Pluto will be moving close in square until the next eclipse season in April adding to an intense and pressuring tension. With Saturn oppose Algol this next week, the edge to Uranus Pluto continues to show shit hitting the fan and hitting the skids. The upside of Uranus Pluto shows signs of progress all in the name of science, technological development and innovation with test runs of space travel and the Rosetta comet landing. Conditions are also ripe and rife for dare devil and devil may care acts, with a new twist of rant and rage to your rock and roll.
