New Moon in Sagittarius on December 17th / 18th is at 26 degrees and 31 minutes.
This is an extremely powerful New Moon with FIVE planets in Sagittarius all trine to Uranus in Aries, ALL FIRE signs.
It also conjuncts the Galactic Centre which is a very dense energy vortex that can bring about huge, rapid changes and awakenings of consciousness.
This is the final New Moon of 2017 and is a real firecracker of energy activating you - Uranus is like an electrical charge.
Mercury is still retrograde until December 22nd and Saturn is at the very last degree of Sagittarius, this is a wonderful opportunity for reflecting on your life, and observing the areas where you could take more of a risk.
What is keeping you from taking action?
What is keeping you from being free?
Instead of blaming it on someone else, or something outside of you. It is a time to reflect upon what you can do to move out of fear.
Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius is conjunct to Mars in Scorpio. Scorpio relates to fear and the transformation of it into power. Mars indicates that this is a time for action.
You might be saying to yourself - hey, this is Mercury retrograde, you usually tell us this is not a good time to act - however, this is a different kind of action...........
reflect FIRST and then take action.
For example, at the end of every day, I have started a new habit which is to reflect upon the day. I write down what happened, and also how I felt about my actions and thoughts. What do I feel good about? What would I like to improve?
For the areas I would like to improve, I set myself one or two actions to take in order to change that behaviour.
It isn't easy to do and requires great observation of yourself (always much easier to see what someone else is doing :)) - but I am finding it an invaluable tool to improve myself on all levels and to feel more alive and making a valuable contribution.
e.g. a friend of mine was very frightened of public speaking and especially doing a video. She plucked up the courage one day and did a live video on FB, and she rang me up full of energy and excitement sharing her personal breakthrough.
This is a great time to break through those fears that have been holding you back.
You will feel more alive as a result of facing your fear.
What can you face and move through in order to free yourself?
Saturn is moving into Capricorn at the end of this year.
Uranus is moving into Taurus. We are coming into a more grounded energy, so this final New Moon of 2017 is a grand opening for you to free yourself of something that has been holding you back.
Mercury is square to Neptune - release the past, release old disappointments, all the things you could have done, might have done, should have done.......let it all go.
Let all the FIRE energy burn it all out.
Work with fire:
candles, burn sage, cleanse the air, walk on fire! Eat fiery foods to get the digestion fired up, HOT TUB, HOT YOGA, anything to SWEAT, Bring out the HEAT, a FEVER can be very healing,- think of ways in which you can fire up your engine for this exciting New Year ahead.
