Without the usual glow of the moon guiding us through our intuitive landscapes, new moons are oft a time of rest and internal reflection.
These moon messages can be deeply confusing when taking the form of Sagittarius, the vivacious and empowered centaur who is leaping through the skies chasing dreams. Where do your dreams live in your
body? Are they right at the tips of your fingers, reaching out for more? Do they sit deep in your belly, stirring with dreams yearning to be actualized? Perhaps they are feeling rather dormant, waiting for the permission piece to exist alongside you. Without the presence of the moon, we're encouraged to take matters into our own hands. And for this, Sagittarius can lead us gracefully.
Consider the bow and arrow. Symbolically this represents overcoming struggles, a celebration of the work put into achievements. Look at how far you've come, babe. This year has been a prism of struggle and triumph, of deep sorrows and heartfelt joy. You've done the damn thing. This new moon is the time to take the results of this hard work and believe, embody, the fact that you deserve to bring your dreams to life. Grab your arrow from the quiver, nock the bow, and focus your sights on your wildest dreams and desires. What do you need for release?

A Ritual for Embodying Fire
Fire is the element associated with action, with movement, with creativity. This Sagittarius new moon, give yourself permission to play with fire and see what's waiting to burst through with the flames. For this, all you need is a candle (we recommend a Pleasure Spell) and 15 minutes or so.
Light your candle and gaze into the flame. Feel the warm glow on your skin. How does your body
feel in the warmth? This may be an indication of the current relationship you have with Fire. Do you bask like a lizard and soak up all the sweet rays? Do you find yourself feeling sleepy? Where is your attention drawn as you watch the flame? What language would you use to describe the look and feel of fire? You might try jotting down whatever words come to mind. Then cast your attention back to the flame, and imagine the flicks telling a story of how your life will unfold. What do you
see?
