MASTER BIG PICTURE THINKING WITH THE SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON๐โ๏ธโ & MERCURY RX 2023โ
Moonology Manifestation Oracle Deck, Yasmin Boland
Do you have enough vision? On Tuesday, December 12, the one and only new moon of the year will be in the optimistic sign of Sagittarius, nudging us all away from complacency.
The world awaits your daring foray into unexplored territory, or your enormous leap of faith. Mars, the brave, mingling with la luna, means you're in a very daring mood and prepared to take a major risk.
Then, on Wednesday, December 13, the signal-jamming planet Mercury goes retrograde for three weeks, until New Year's Day.
Donโt leave any holiday season๐โ prep to the last minute in the face of the widespread confusion and misunderstanding that will characterize the remainder of 2023. When Mercury returns to travel sign Sagittarius on the 23rd, delays are likely to occur.
Be selective about who you invite to the party. All it takes is one contentious debater to cause chaos and sour the mood. Use this time to conduct your 4th Quarter Life Review and work with the New Moon, Neptune & Mercury Rx energies to illuminate and explore within.
The rest of this blog and the video above will explore this energy profile of this final moon cycle of calendar year 2023 in the fiery sign of the Explorer โ Sagittarius

Applying The Lunar Wisdom Formula
The Lunar Wisdom Formula for the Sagittarius New Moon is to have an open mind and a philosophical mindset. The lunar influence of Sagittariusโ๏ธ encourages exploration and the use of our higher mind, vibrating on the higher octave, is useful.
The energy of Sagittariusโ๏ธ is excellent for believing in anything, examining belief systems, and discovering the truth. As we figure out how to play by the new rules following the eclipses, all of these qualities are great.
Also, in order to broaden your horizons, you'll have this strong desire to escape your familiar surroundings and immerse yourself in something new and exotic. Under these New Moon and Mercury Rx vibes, the next 30 days will be a perfect time to return to trying things from times that made you feel expansive. Whether that's cuisine, language, ideas, culture, or even just your wardrobe.
This New Moon is great for growth work, and for learning new things about your internal emotional landscape with the Mercury Rx vibes helping you get into the zone. Consider adopting "the beginner's mind" about unfinished tasks of 2023 when you start to plan your goals and set intentions for the last Lunar Cycle of the year.
Connect with the energy of the 9th house, which is Sagittariusโ๏ธ, which emphasizes learning at the specialized level. Incorporating the idea of returning to a faraway, happy place, either literally or metaphorically, might help us appreciate the present moment more fully. If you do this, you will likely invoke the Jupiterian luck that allows you to do the seemingly impossible.
If you have a Sun, Moon or Rising Sign in Sagittarius or Gemini your chart you will be significantly impacted by this lunation. Below are some insights on how the Expansion Sagittarius New Moonโ๏ธโโโโโ๐ will impact your Ascendant or Rising Sign for the most accuracy.

Working With The New Moon Phase๐โ๐
This New Moon is about seeing the internal โbig pictureโ. Keep in mind that this fiery Sagittarius energyโ๏ธโ is ideal for letting go of everything that is preventing you from taking huge action. Use the hours ahead of the New Moon which is at 6:32 pm ET to do just that!
There will be moments when you need to purge your closet, and other times when you just need to take stock of your time and the people you surround yourself with.
Bold, outspoken, and expansiveโthat is the Sagittarius New Moon. New and exciting things may entice you (and others) to seek them out and venture into unexplored realms. It's fantastic, I must say. Butโฆ
Warning signs include a square to Neptune in Pisces. This element can make you more intuitive and creative, but it can also make you more prone to delusion, illusion, and over-idealization. Thus, you may have a general idea of what you want but have no idea how to achieve it.
This can manifest as the belief that it is completely impossible for it to either succeed or fail. Keep in mind that the mere act of thinking doesn't make an idea true. For positive and negative ideas, that is correct.
To make your dream a reality, you must ride the wave of aggressive expansion, even though you have no idea where the wave will lead you.
Just a few hours after that, Mercury will enter retrograde motion. On January 1st, Mercury will station direct, quite close to the degree of this New Moon, thus this is significant. What is now underway may undergo adjustments because of the retrograde.
This is also tied to what was going on a few days before the Gemini Full Moon which was on November 27 because Mercury hit shadow territory (the degree it returns back to during the retrograde) on November 25.
This Mutable/Maven energy of this final Lunar Cycle of the year gives us the flexibility we need to work with this final retrograde period of 2023. It represents our ability to see things from two perspectives (like in the light and the dark) which helps with our agility during times of transition. Remember that Sagittarius season is a transitional one so itโs normal to see massive changes as we close out one energy and bring in another.
Here are a few questions and journal prompts to really help you set intentions to engage this Expansion Sagittarius New Moon and get the necessary distance to see the big picture๐:
For what kinds of inquiries are I a lifelong learner?
What can I say with absolute certainty?
How does reality contrast with my dreams and ideas?
For this month, where do I sense a calling to channel my passion and effort?
What am I hoping to achieve with the New Moon?
What old things need completing and what changes will I make as a result of your life review?
In this reality after the eclipse, may the light of the Sagittarius New Moon guide you to your greatest adventure yet, and may you emerge from the underworld unscathed.
Blessed Be
