The Horoscope of the New Moon in Sagittarius brings with it excitement, big dreams, and fiery dedications to a plan, an idea, a relationship. Something that captures our imagination, something to get excited about, to talk loud about, to promise ourselves that there is hope, and that our future is better than the present.
These are tricky energies. It is definitely more fun to live life while excited, filled with hope, and looking forward with some expectation, but in many cases it can stay on that level and not be “stepped down” and turned into some practical application that can enhance life for us (next month in Capricorn). So, we could find ourselves: talking a lot, making huge plans, and riding on a wave of excitement, only to find ourselves depleted and unable to face the real life that we have now. Our fantasies are so nice that daily life just seem not to be worth anything.
The sun and moon conjunction is in the early degrees of Sagittarius, while Mercury and Venus are also in this visionary sign. We also find Jupiter, Sagittarius ruler, and Mars, the other fiery planets in the earth signs, all adding more and more fire into the mix, without any element that can either cool it down (there are no planets in any water sign), or can ground this fire and help it ignite a long term project. people will be short tempered, looking for quick fixes and “short term profits”. This is the time to remind ourselves how the world’s economy got to where it is right now, and attemt to understand this fire, enjoy it, but not to rely on it. The voice of caution and reson represented by Saturn is in wide orb to Jupiter, making any real planing seem impossible and out of reach.
This new moon you will be swept into a vision, dream and an idea on how to grow, how to better life. These energies are essential because they can lead to improvements, and to having a better life, but if mishandled (which is usually the case), the dream stays a dream and does not join us later on around the corner.
In this horoscope, the sun/moon are in a Quincunx to their ruler, Jupiter. Jupiter is still in retrograde motion in Taurus, and comes in contact with almost all the planetary influences at the time of the new moon. Jupiter is always about expansion, about finding a larger scope in life, about feeling like we are part of something that is larger than ourselves. Jupiter is also the reason for all hope, for every growth, for understanding and for having fun in life.
The quincunx represents that some frustrations are ahead. In this time of the new moon we can get excited can enjoy the feeling of planning and welcoming a better future, but to actually bring down and follow through make sure you wait until after the full moon to see what stays with you.
For all who read: Do not rush into anything. Do not invest in any scheme, dream as much as you want, but when it comes to the real application remember that the vision will take time to come to your life, and by then it will look exactly the same. Still, you can improve your own life, it is a capacity you have and you should remember it.
The new moon takes place on Oct 26, 19:55 GMT, 2° of Sagittarius.

Sagittarius transmits the energy of vision, of believing in a better future, of expansion, of freedom, and of deep belief. It is also the sign that knows excitement better than most others, and can be easily swept off its feet by an idea, a new venture, a promise for greener land.
The world today sees the consequences of Sagittarius rampaging without any wisdom to it. the term “short term profit”, which still creates such personal, and national disasters is widespread in its inhumane attitude. The people who lived beyond their means hoping for some miracle to cover the widening gap, are waking up to realization that they have to start paying of it NOW. That no miracle is going to happen.
Religious fanaticism is also a Sagittarian trait, the “my god is better than your God, syndrome as well as the belief that crimes are OK and the belief in a God that permits those to be.
The beautiful side of the Sagittarians is now ripe to flourish: the exuberance, the hope, enthusiasm, and belief in the good of life. Jupiter, Sagittarius ruler is the planet that
Many Sagittarians rely on luck far more than they are aware of, and many of them had some setbacks these past few months. Luck or an attitude of knowing how to get by, that I will be cared for by the universe is returning for all of us at the end of December with Jupiter’s forward motion.
Sagittarians are known for their love of freedom. Aspiring for greater freedom can help all of us learn the way towards growth, but freedom just to follow all the lower desires can and does lead to wasteful lives.
This new moon Sagittarians should ask themselves how to achieve their sought after freedom, and to what good use there are going to dedicate it?
New Moons:
New Moons are a good time to concentrate on seeding. Take a look at your chart, locate the 2th degree of Sagittarius (by house) and think which dedications are already in this area of your life. This is a good time for beginnings, and outgoing activity. Anything that is under the rule of Sagittarius can also come to the forefront.
