New Moon in Sagittarius - Nesting Dolls of Time
Astrotoolkit™
Conjunct Venus - sweetness, joy, warmth
Square Saturn - time as perimeter, propulsive severing from something negative
Square Neptune - slowly turning lighthouse: fog and fantasy, escape
Quincunx Uranus - surprise, we may never pass this way again
This New Moon brings heat and illumination, the kind that burns rings into fabric or briefly blinds you as you go around a bend. Sag is Lady Godiva, maybe Zeus: stunning, unexpected, and everywhere all at once. Sagittarius energy appears as suddenly as it disappears, giving credit to its mutability. No matter how passionate or intense, Sag is courageous enough to drop the rope at the last second if it's simply time to go. Anyone with placements in Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces, Virgo will feel this New Moon deeply. You will be pushed to recognize the ways you are opening wider to experience and loosening your grip on the things you just utterly cannot control. What starts right now is guiding you through the nesting dolls of time through past selves and future selves and back again until you release every one of those identities from the binds behind its back. This new moon requires you to be brave and awake.
Venus provides a touching warmth and connection to this New Moon. Connections you form during this time are staking a stalk of self-worth that feels more unshakeable than ever. You are emerging into greater sense of power and freedom in your relationships. You may notice a gossamer film surrounds crushes and any developing feelings for others. Relationships feel promising, boundless, and seem to open you to new worrlds. Any darkness from the overwhelming energy of Scorpio season has been sifted through and untangled, like a bird from netting. With Neptune square this lunation, skeleton keys unlock rooms to other secret rooms, and rooms give way to secret wardrobes opening to secret worlds. The beauty of Sag season is the sudden, deep understanding that you are ultimately free.
In aspect to the malefic Saturn, there will be a biting, chilly edge to new beginnings that arrive this month. Any fresh start that comes of this period is in reaction to something. With so many squares, it feels like the events that cause you to cut yourself free are really nobody’s fault. With Neptune, your path will feel oddly murky and haunting, as memories permeate the present like a rich overlay. This week you will escape something and run right into yourself. Trust your instincts and turn in the direction of the warmth of others: you're running right into the arms of the beloved.
