At the beginning of each lunar cycle, when the moon appears in its most vulnerable form, the world seems to shake under our unsteady feet. The new moon, fresh and dark and not yet wise, seems to tell us, "Go forward, but with caution—without my light, you may find yourself careening down a steep cliff. Whatever direction you chose to walk in, be sure of your feet." This new moon in Sagittarius tells another story. 

Sagittarius is the charismatic archer, and they're urging us to seek out wonderment at a run. Though they're depicted with the body of a horse and the upper body of a human, Sagittarius is not half anything; Sagittarius is wholly and entirely their own, belonging to no one but the wild expanse of their consciousness. This explorer throws all of their energy into the chase; only the most thrilling adventure can keep their attention. This new moon, turn inward with fierce curiosity. What thrills you, and what keeps you awake at night? Now is an extremely potent time to explore your curves and corners. Be flexible, and mind the way you adapt the situations before you. How can you expand or accelerate—how fast can you let the arrow of your mind fly?

Your psyche may be tender this new moon, but don't let that stop you from feeling things through to their roots. Chase your intuition to its origins, and use that inertia to lead you towards renewal!

Step Through the Solstice Portal on December 4th

The magic of the winter season teaches us how to reserve our precious energy, tap into the well of abundance that is always available to us, and seek out nourishment in our connections to a wider web of pleasure-seekers and magic-makers. As we glide into the depths of the dark season, remember where you find your light!

This year, we're celebrating our third annual Winter Solstice gathering, led by Jessie Susannah Karnatz, Taylor Ursula, and Sarah Faith Gottesdiener — all ready to impart their seasonal wisdom.
