Mercury may be retrograde, but nothing can stop the magic of the New Moon coming into Sagittarius. This month marks the transition between two calendar months. This monthly reset inspires all signs to dream big, even if Mercury retrograde can bring a few detours on the road to success. If you’re one of the signs most affected by December’s New Moon, you’ll want to connect with its vibes.
The New Moon on December 1st rises in the free and philosophical sign of Sagittarius, providing a favorable opportunity to seek out new perspectives that open your mind. Sagittarius zodiac energy is spontaneous and jovial, so focus on the things that ignite your mind, heart, and soul rather than fulfilling other people’s expectations.
Although Mercury retrograde is in full swing during this New Moon, which can make starting new projects slower and more difficult, the Mercury-Jupiter opposition could amplify some of the retrograde themes. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use this New Moon to start aligning your bow and aiming for new horizons.
This New Moon brings strong positive connections for the fire signs of the zodiac, including a lucky trine with Mars in Leo, which infuses motivation and passion into your monthly intentions. Additionally, the New Moon and Mars align with the North Node of Destiny in Aries, bringing a sense of destiny and the opportunity to align with your higher purpose.
The energy of the December New Moon is intense and full of excitement, and if you’re a fire sign, you’ll feel its effects significantly.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The New Moon on December 1 illuminates your ninth house of luck and adventure, stimulating a desire for spiritual expansion and higher knowledge. In addition, this New Moon forms an extremely favorable connection with the North Node of Destiny in your sign, making this an ideal time to say yes to experiences that take you out of your comfort zone and give you new perspectives on your beliefs.
Mercury retrograde occurs in the same area, encouraging you to reevaluate some of your current concerns or personal dogmas. If you open your heart to the magic of this month, you have a significant opportunity to learn from the past and accelerate your growth into the future.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
As a Sun-ruled Leo, channels of self-expression are essential to you. The New Moon rises in the most creative and passionate area of your astrological chart, making it the perfect time to seek new sources of inspiration. Connect with what makes your heart feel free and playful—whether it’s a romantic story, a meaningful artistic endeavor, or a hobby that ignites your spirit. Letting go of seriousness and embracing joy are the keys to accessing the power of this New Moon.
In addition, the New Moon forms a highly favorable trine with Mars, active in your sign, giving you a surge of energy, resilience and enthusiasm. It’s important to note that Mars will go retrograde in your sign on December 6th, so this New Moon gives you one last boost of motivation to set your goals in motion before the retrograde temporarily slows your pace. Take advantage of this energy now!
