New Moon in Sagittarius
December 19, 2025 @ 5:43 PM PST / 8:43 PM EST
Expand Your Truth & Purpose
This New Moon in Sagittarius arrives at 28°24′, a late degree rich with potential for endings, beginnings, and fresh horizons. Sagittarius energy is big, bold, and oriented toward meaning…what you believe, where you go, and how you grow.
Under this lunation, you’re invited to set intentions that align with your higher truth, broaden your perspective, and expand into the next level of your purpose.
This is more than “just starting something new”. It’s about orienting toward what truly matters.
As the Sun and Moon unite in Sagittarius, you may feel a stirring inside: a want for more—more freedom, more meaning, more vision. But the power of this moment lies in pairing that stirring with clarity. What you begin now has a momentum that lasts because it’s rooted in integrity, not just excitement.
There are additional energies at play. With the year coming toward close, this lunation asks not just for expansion but for alignment.
The fire of Sagittarius seeks direction; it asks you to aim your arrow with intention. Use this moment to craft a vision that matches your values, your truth, and your next step, not just your next leap.
This New Moon invites you to become both architect and explorer of your life. It’s time to plant seeds of truth, set out on the map you’ve written inwardly, and trust your compass.
The world may invite you to go fast, but the real breakthrough is going true.
Sub-themes of this Lunation:
- Vision Over Habit: Setting direction, not just completing tasks.
- Belief Meets Behavior: Does what you believe show up in how you live?
- Adventure with Integrity: Movement matters, but only when it aligns with truth.
- Soul-Scale Intentions: Seeds planted now carry weight beyond the immediate.
This New Moon in Sagittarius asks you to expand your truth and step into purpose not later, but now. Align your vision with your values. Let your next chapter be less about “what’s next” and more about “what will matter.” Plant your intent clearly, move with sincerity, and watch how your path opens when your aim is true.
Energetic Forecast
Love & Relationships
Expect a shift toward meaningful connection and shared vision. If you’ve been in relationship purely for comfort or convenience, this lunation invites you to ask: Do we dream together? Do we grow together? This is a moment to set relational intentions that reflect mutual expansion, not just routine. Singles might feel drawn to people who widen their horizon; couples might envision new directions together.
Career & Finances
This is a potent moment to consider work that aligns with your purpose, not just your paycheck. Big ideas, new directions, even educational or travel-related ventures could gain momentum. Financially, the focus shifts from accumulating to investing… in your vision, your skills, your future self. Ask: How much does this align with my truth? If “because I should” is your motivator, you might stall; if “because this matters” is your driver, you’ll move.
Spirituality & Growth
Sagittarius calls you to go deeper, not by going inward alone, but by going outward in alignment. Think expansion through experience: travel, study, teaching, philosophy, spirituality that challenges you. This is a moment to re-write your beliefs, test your boundaries, and anchor higher truths into everyday life. Growth now is less about quiet retreat and more about authentic adventure
Who Will Feel This the Most
- Sagittarius Sun / Moon / Rising — Major fresh starts, direction shifts, new questions of purpose.
- Gemini Sun / Moon / Rising — Opposite sign; your communication, learning, and vision for the future are active.
- Virgo & Pisces Sun / Moon / Rising — Mutable signs attuned to inner adjustment and outer expansion.
- Pay attention if you have placements around 26°–0° of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces—these degrees will lean in strongest.
Journaling Prompts
- What belief am I ready to live rather than just hold?
- What direction am I choosing because it calls me, not because it’s easy?
- How can I align my actions with the truth I feel in my bones?
- What next step am I willing to take—even if the full map isn’t laid out?
- How will this intention serve me, and serve others?
Ritual: Seed Your Vision Under the Sagittarius New Moon
You’ll need:
- A purple or dark blue candle (symbolizing fire + truth)
- A notebook + pen
- A map, photo or symbol of a place, idea or horizon you feel called toward
Steps:
- Light the candle and breathe deeply, feel the fire of expansion in your heart.
- In your notebook, write a short phrase for your guiding intention: “I move toward…,” “I expand into…”—something true to you.
- Below it, list 2–3 actions that align with that guide for the next 3–6 months.
- Place your symbolic map/photo near your notebook or candle, as a visual cue of your horizon.
- Read aloud: “I set this truth in motion. I align with my purpose. I step into clarity and courage.”
- Sit quietly for a few breaths, feeling the energy, then close with gratitude.
