Sagittarius New Moon
December 2023
Intuitive Astrology by Tanaaz
The Sagittarius New Moon falls on the auspicious twelfth day of the twelfth month and is the last New Moon for 2023. Mercury also stations retrograde shortly after the peak of the New Moon, making it a potent day in our cosmic skies.
Let’s break down the incredible cosmic offerings of the Sagittarius New Moon and how we can make the most of it.
2023 is fast coming to a close, and many of us will be scrambling to get things done. While life may feel extra busy this time of year, the Sagittarius New Moon is our chance to set our final intentions for 2023. While it can be tempting to jump ahead into the new year, see if you can channel your intentions into the last remaining weeks of the year.
How would you like the next three weeks to flow? What do you want to focus on?
If this time of year has brought some challenges your way or you know some stressful situations are on the horizon, this would be a good time to create some reminders for yourself. Create one intention for each of the three weeks left in the year and fill them with supportive words for all you have going on.
One of the most profound cosmic energies working with this New Moon is Chiron, the asteroid of healing. The energy of Chiron is harmoniously flowing with this New Moon, helping to bring strong healing energy our way.
Mars is also beautifully intertwined with Chiron and the Moon, making us feel more motivated to get to the root of our problems. Something that has been troubling us for some time may finally begin to feel manageable, or the results we have been looking for may come about quicker or with greater ease.
When Mars is involved, we need to be proactive and take action, and under this energy, our actions are going to be supported and amplified. So, even if they are small, think about some steps you can take to instigate a deeper healing for your mind, body, and soul.
Mercury stations retrograde shortly after the New Moon peaks. Mercury is the planet of communication, and ancient astrologers believed that when it traveled retrograde, our more subtle senses and forms of communication were heightened.
On the surface, Mercury Retrograde can bring foggy mental thoughts, miscommunications, and technology mishaps, but on deeper levels, it is a powerful time for trusting our intuition and paying attention to our senses beyond the typical five.
Mercury Retrograde, happening on the same day as the New Moon, will heighten its energy and thin the veil. We may feel a little indecisive or confused, or instinctually feel that all the facts have not been presented to us.
When Mercury Retrograde is involved, moving slowly and methodically and trusting our intuition is important. With the veil thin, we have the potential to receive clearer guidance from our dreams, intuition, and higher self.
The New Moon in the fire sign of Sagittarius is a time when adventure and excitement can be triggered. Many of us have a lot of responsibilities, especially at this time of year, but use the energy of this New Moon to push yourself out of your comfort zone and to find some playfulness in your daily routine. Shaking things up, trying new things, and exploring new worlds are all powerful ways to channel this Sagittarius energy.
The New Moon falling on the sacred 12/12 also creates powerful waves of energy that support the vibration of this number pattern. 12 is a number of understanding and wholeness. It represents coming full circle with a complete and clear picture of all that has unfolded.
Even though Mercury is in retrograde at this time, and there is new energy flowing from the New Moon, we also have the energies of 1212 reminding us of completion, wholeness, and greater wisdom.
It seems that just like the archer, we are being called to line up our arrow, take our aim, and then trust in the wind! Life is a ride, there is only so much we can control. So perhaps overall, that is the message this New Moon has for us.
Set your intentions, focus on healing, acknowledge your intuition, move slowly, but ultimately, trust the ride!
New Moon - December 12th, 2023

December 12th New Moon
The New Moon energy always magnifies our opportunities, and always favors what provides us with greater freedom, self-sufficiency, and possibilities. The choices that we make during this time, will impact all of our existences. As a result, it is important that we pay extra attention to what we choose and do.
This New Moon is likely to feel a bit heavier in some ways than normal. It will not be a good time to be in large crowds, out at protests, or in large cities or gatherings. People are easily triggered right now; especially where others are calling for harassment, abuse, and violence against those that oppose them. Things tend to be a bit twisted and distorted as the good is made to look bad; and the bad claims to be good. It is important that we learn how to rise up against injustices in ways that are legal and ethical; for we will never overcome them by doing battle with them, since they will use that against us.
This is a time where it is important for us to find our voice, and to be willing to speak up. It is a great time to work with others to learn how to be successful with our own ideas and plans; and then find ethical ways to do that. We need to be careful, as false spiritual gurus may try to rise up and influence people to follow them. Remember, those that are false seek follows, and tell you what to do; while those that are real share their experiences, and encourage you to get your own experiences and find your own way while being there to lend support and wisdom as needed.
This is a great time for leaders to surface, but mostly we want to learn how to lead our own self. There may be some things that we do well working with others on, but we may also need time to simply be in our own processes. Our body may need to rest a bit more, especially if those around us have been on strong emotional charges. Consider taking some time to just disconnect, and be with your own thoughts.
Abundance energy is flowing well right now, and it is a time where we can see our efforts paying off. The more responsible and practical that we have been with things, the stronger those payoffs will be. It is important to use any good fortune wisely. Enjoy some without doing anything fancy, share some with others, and invest some to help you grow and develop things; or to plant the seeds of success for new projects.
This New Moon is also Void of Course. This means that technically it does not fall under any one sign, although traditional astrology will still place it under the sign of Sagittarius. It is in this influence that we find peace where we are taking care of the things that need to get done. We will want to lean on Ancestral Wisdom to guide us in how to move forward with unconditional love, where we are being poked and provoked to strike out. It is in this aspect that we are called to love our neighbors and our enemies. There are so many layers on the latter part; but we start with seeing the Divine Value in what they are triggering. It is a reminder that nothing will resolve itself through hate, but can only be resolved when we approach things with compassion. Do not mistake that for weakness; because it most certainly is not.
This is a time that shows that we must stand stronger in our devotion and alliance to God, Divine Principles, and the Soul Self. It is this aspect that will deliver us from temptation, and lead us to overcome the challenges that have lingered in our life for a long time. This is where our strength comes from; and it is through this that we will see advancements, successes, and victory. It is through this that we will set ourselves free; and will be able to return to living a life that is rooted in values, ethics, experiences, and adventures. It is through this that we re-establish a deep appreciation for natural processes, and the simplest of things.
Those that are trying to hold onto power and control seek to put people in fear by using threats against them. They will work to divide and separate people with lies, deception, and manipulation. They abuse their power by creating suffering through removing rights, freedom, and trying to censor those that speak the truth or speak up against them. However, we cannot let their abusive ways stop us from standing in the truth; for it is by being in truth and integrity that we allow their corruption to be seen by all, so that they can freely choose whether they will support it or walk away from it. In this case the truth literally sets us free, and can also set others free. It is only when we are willing to face adversity and see it for what it is that we will be able to free ourselves from it.
We may see battles of power during this time. Those that are using their power to control others are likely to find that they lose their power at this time. Those around them make more mistakes, which allow hidden agendas and motives to become seen. More people move out of control systems and structures; and that leads to their collapse. People are willing to take back their own power; and seek to find options that give them control over their own life, and to be self-sufficient outside of government control.
We will need to be cautious with the weather at this time. Unexpected storms can move through, and create material and physical challenges for people. It is worth having some supplies on hand. Don’t plan on getting much done, because there are likely to be plenty of upheavals and interruptions in the day. Instead, take some time for yourself, and disconnect where you can. Stay calm, and allow your Soul Self to carry you through any drama or trauma that surfaces.
