What are you learning?

Is it making you a wiser, kinder person?"

"The New Moon in Sagittarius, the second last of the year, offers us a few days of: the enthusiastic pursuit of our current goals! Every goal attained is a step closer to our deepest desire."

~Anna Chapman

"We are now in the first days of the solar month of Sagittarius, the sign of the Philosopher, the Free Spirit, the Seeker, the Traveler, and the Humorist. During this four-week period, we are encouraged to roam far afield either physically or mentally, beyond the boundaries of daily routines and set belief systems, into unfamiliar lands and new ideologies. Adventurous Sagittarius finds fulfillment in exploring unknown territories, and in any experiences that open the mind to a broader understanding of life and its meaning."

~Pam Younghans

"Sagittarius is a mutable sign meaning that it shakes loose one energy in preparation for the next. It’s a sign in between seasons. It’s no longer fall but it’s not quite winter. Mutable signs want to move things about. They were also called double-bodied signs and with Sadge this is quite literal. Half-horse-half-human, the symbol for this sign is a centaur and thereforemoves in multiple ways. The half that is horse has stamina for days. Perhaps we could say that there is a mad dash kind of quality to the sign. Rushing through the details, Sagittarius might rely on over-exaggerations to make its point. Try telling a thoroughbred to go slow. Try telling an archer not to shoot. Try telling a Sagittarius to calm down."

"The Sagittarius new moon enthusiastically reminds us of where we need to bring in more optimism that might not have been available to us in the past. Looking at something with a different lens can be incredibly healing, and pairing with Mercury retrograde the heavens are calling us to do so. With Mars closely on this lunation's tail, be aware of aggression and anger guiding our decisions and interactions. Take space and zoom out for better results. Use your inner wisdom, vision, imagination and invest thoughtfulness to take aim for new direction, this is the gift of the Centaur."

~Kerry Kershaw, Magic of I

"From the deep waters of Scorpio, we emerge into the expansive realm of Sagittarius.This season invites us to broaden our minds, energies, and visions for the future. It's a time of reflection on the past year and a gentle reminder to seek the higher meaning in our journey. Sagittarius, the sign of silver linings, encourages us to focus on life's positives while honoring and processing our feelings, guiding us towards ultimate soul healing through gratitude and optimism.

THE ESSENCE OF SAGITTARIUS: Ruled by Fire and Jupiter, Sagittarius embodies the spirit of the student, the philosopher, and the wanderer. This sign teaches us that life is a continuous learning experience, with everyone we encounter serving as our teacher. It reminds us that our journey is about gathering experiences, sometimes requiring leaps of faith to acquire the knowledge necessary for our evolution."

~Spirit Daughter

"Thanksgiving epitomizes three things key to Sagittarius: travel, risky honesty, and the search for gratitude. We'll need every bit of our flexibility and centering. Mercury, that arbiter of communications and transportation turns retrograde in outspoken Sagittarius on Monday which can encourage unfiltered conversation in a politically challenging year and add a certain awkward piquancy to travel on this peripatetic holiday.

The Sagittarius Sun brings an inclination, even a compulsion, to travel between November 21st and December 21^st this year, whether it be traveling around town to get ingredients, travel to Madagascar to get away from it all, or over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. But that travel can get tricky or need extra time as Mercury stations, so let’s pace ourselves and keep an eye on the weather reports.

Sagittarius inspires an unfiltered mouth and a tendency to say too much, which can be great with our buddies or in public debate, but difficult when we gather with people we don't see very often, and with whom we might profoundly disagree. Those table-top arguments could be exacerbated by both that Mercury retrograde, and by the moody Moon in Scorpio on the feast day. In extreme circumstances, it might further take a year off from family gatherings and try again next year.

But first, over the weekend an industrious Virgo Moon can help us get the house clean, bags packed, work completed, and basic Mercury retrograde skills engaged. Confirm flights and appointments, check the weather, and check the vehicle. Make lists and enjoy checking them off. If tension arises, investigate misunderstandings. Don't sweat the small stuff."

~Heather Roan Robbins, We'Moon

"The Bhagavad Gita--that ancient Indian Yogic text--says that it is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."

‍~Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Part one of this ritual is meant to bring your clarity around what you desire to manifest for your next adventure.

Take time to reflect on these prompts to connect with your next adventure:

• What areas of my life are calling for expansion?
• What new experiences do I want to welcome into my life?
• If I had no fear or limits, where would I go, and what would I do?
• What inner adventures—like healing, growth, or self-discovery—am I ready to embark on?
• What kind of energy, feelings, or qualities do I want to experience on this journey?

4. Keep your vision board somewhere you can see it each day so that you can stay connected to your vision.
