TONIGHT: No Ordinary New Moon

When the Sun and Moon come together in a conjunction, it signifies the completion of one phase and the beginning of a new 28-day cycle. It is believed since the ancient times, that this celestial alignment ushers in a wave of renewed energy and inspiration, encouraging initiative and forward momentum. For this time, New Moon occurs in Sagittarius, the traveller and philosopher of the Zodiac circle, creating and crafting a new beginning in mystical journey, a shift in our awareness in all possible ways. This is the last new Moon of the Solar Year as we are approaching the Winter's Solstice!

yet this New Moon withholds many surprises

Yes, that's correct! Tonight's new moon in the sign of Sagittarius conjuncts with Antares, although, on November 29, 2024, there was the exact conjunction at 8°21' of Sagittarius, with the Moon and Antares aligned. This star is also called the 'heart of Scorpio' showing the energy that emanates from this astrological event. So, in few words, it symbolizes raw ambition and true untamed energy.

If there is a fixed star with such peculiar fame this is Antares, who is considered a strangely powerful but sometimes malefic fixed star in astrology, associated with honors, treasures but also violence, strife, and adversity. The energies of this conjunction could manifest as challenges and difficulties during that time, which may require extra caution and resilience.

However it can also amplify and enrich the symbolism of the new moon. Antares is one of the brightest stars in the sky and is associated with qualities such as passion, courage, transformation, and intensity. Therefore, this conjunction suggests a time where you may feel a surge of energy and determination to pursue your goals with bravery and confidence. It can be a period where you are encouraged to delve deep into your passions and address any challenges with courage and resilience. This alignment may also bring about a sense of transformation or change in your life, urging you to embrace new beginnings and seize opportunities that come your way.

Possible outcomes under the influence of this astrological event:

• Important advances in wars

• Assassination of important leaders (political or military)

• Sudden change of power (economic / political / strategic)

What Witches can do during the New Moon

More than anything keep note of your dreams. This is a very powerful tool to unlock secrets of your mind, interpret messages and even heal yourself. Of course you can (re)start practice developing your lucid dreaming skills. We follow the work of Charlie Morley, author of the best selling “Dreams of Awakening” and this is one of this amazing TEDx talks on Lucid Dreaming and how to use it for healing. Follow Charlie in Instagram for more information and inspiration on the dreamworld.

Apart from Lucid Dreaming, during a new moon in Sagittarius conjuncting with Antares, witches can use the celestial energy:

1. Setting Intentions: Utilize the energy of the new moon to set intentions related to themes of Sagittarius such as expansion, adventure, and exploration. With the influence of Antares, focus on intentions that involve courage, determination, and transformation.

2. Protection Spells: Antares is associated with protection, so this could be a good time to perform spells or rituals aimed at enhancing your personal protection, shielding yourself from negative energies, or safeguarding your home and loved ones.

3. Shadow Work: Delve into your inner depths and explore your shadows during this new moon. Sagittarius' adventurous spirit combined with Antares' transformative energy can support deep inner work and help you confront and heal any unresolved issues.

4. Fire Magic: Both Sagittarius and Antares are associated with fire energy, so incorporating fire magic into your rituals can be particularly potent during this time. Light candles, work with fire elemental energies, or perform rituals involving flames for transformation and courage. Always practice safely with all fire-safety measures. Never leave a candle unattended.

Aspects of the New Moon in Sagittarius

The new moon in Sagittarius can bring a sense of adventure, new beginnings, and a focus on expanding horizons. Since it is in conjunction with the fixed star Antares, known for its intense and passionate energy, this can amplify the intensity of emotions and desires during this time.

The mild opposition with Jupiter might bring a conflict between your desire for expansion and growth (Jupiter's influence) and the need to focus on responsibilities and limitations (Saturn's influence) due to the square aspect with Saturn. This can create some tension between wanting to take risks and being cautious and practical. As the influences are not benevolent, this new moon phase could prompt you (violently) to take a closer look at your goals, beliefs, and long-term plans. It might be a time to reassess what truly matters to you and how you can pursue your ambitions while also staying grounded and responsible. It's important to find a balance between optimism and realism during this period.

Who needs to be careful?

👉 Although this New Moon can bring good advances in many zodiac signs, caution is needed by Virgo in their homes, Gemini in their relationships and partnerships and Pisces in their professional life (as Jupiter is also affected). Also, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius should be more careful as Jupiter and Saturn are affected.
