Expanding with the New Moon in Sagittarius, December 6, 2018

Happy New Moon!  Another moonth has gone by and we again have the chance to renew or reinvent our intentions for the month ahead with the power of the newly waxing moon. This time around the Moon will be in Sagittarius, a fire sign bursting with expansive and optimistic energy. You want to make sure that you focus on those areas of your life where you actually want expansion and growth. If you find yourself getting caught up in what isn't working, you may end of creating more problems and troubles for yourself! Make a special effort with this New Moon to practice gratitude for what you have and appreciate those parts of your life that are humming along just dandy. This positivity will be supported by Sagittarius' optimistic outlook and extend evolution and healthy growth in other areas of your life that may not be so free and clear right now. Know that Sagittarius loves to philosophize as well, so this New Moon time is the perfect opportunity to contemplate the meaning of your life. Make the effort to consider whether or not your actions are aligned with the goals and values you aspire to in this lifetime. We can easily get offtrack from our highest aspirations when we bog ourselves down in the day-to-day of what we want, want, want right now! This New Moon gives you the power to zoom way out and get some perspective on what it all means and how the little things you do either create or sabotage your best life.

Here is a little insight from the tarot for intention setting with the New Moon in Sagittarius:

Where am I ready to grow and expand in my life?- The Emperor Oh yeah! I love this message of The Emperor! You are ready to grow and expand in every aspect of your life because you are powerful, in control, and disciplined.The Emperor is self-possessed and regal in action, ruling the empire with a firm and steady hand. You understand the effort and the work that is required to realize your dreams. You also know that you are capable and willing to do whatever it takes. This will be a great month for consolidating family ties, getting your household in order, organizing your work and finances, and just being a boss at life. Perhaps you've been spending without thought, or earning less money than usual- time to turn that around. Perhaps you've been neglecting family time or disconnecting from your tribe- time to tune back in and reconnect. Maybe you've just felt out of control and chaotic in all aspects of your life- well, it's time to put some new rules in place, create boundaries, and set things back in order. Sagittarius offers you expansion so set your sights bigger than ever before so you can make that super leap to the next level.

What actions can I take to move my life to the next level?- IX of Cups The best action you can take to get yourself to that next level is to live in a state of gratitude and abundance. Even if you have to start with the smallest details, do it. "I am grateful to be breathing air. I am grateful to have a beating heart. Etc." Hopefully, you can take a more expansive view if your personal life is shit and be thankful for the oceans, forests, colors, the internet, bears!, whatever it takes to get you in a state of wonder and joy about life. When you take satisfaction and feel fulfilled, the Universe recognizes you as a person who enjoys the good stuff in life and offers you more good stuff. You're attracting what you're putting out so put out a sense of appreciation for all that exists that is good. Practice swiftly letting go of negative emotions and vicious thought patterns whenever you notice yourself engaging in these types of destructive behaviors. You are blessed to be alive. Once you didn't exist and then, out of nothing, you came into form. What amazing things are you going to create, birth, manifest, bring into form in this lifetime?

What do I need to release in order to create room for expansion?- V of Swords You gotta release the negativity and the naysaying, the lack mentality and the competition! There is plenty of success and happiness for each and every person on this planet. Your success and happiness is not, and should not be, contingent upon someone else's misery and failure. Let go of the idea that you have to be better than someone else. Let go of the idea that you need to earn more money than everyone else. Let go of the thought that you need to be smarter, stronger, have more, do more, be more than anyone else. This isn't you against the world. We each get what we require and what deserve in this life. There is plenty to go around and then there is even still more for everyone again. When we separate ourselves, divide ourselves in to the haves and the have nots, the us versus them, the good versus the bad, the right versus the wrong, etc. we deny the basic fact that we are all human and all equal. Can you see that equality? Release all the rest of your cultural patterning that has taught you differently. It's not going to be easy but it is a worthy cause that will make your world a more beautiful and happy place.
