In the final month of the year, there is a problematic New Moon in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, and there is also an emotional Full Moon in the sign of Cancer, which brings the year to a close. Let’s discuss the benefits that these will bring to us.
What exactly is a New Moon?
It is referred to as a conjunction when the transiting Sun and the moving Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac. This indicates that a new moon is occurring. Beginnings are associated with new moons, which are characterized by high energy and a positive attitude.
What exactly is a Full Moon?
When the Sun and Moon are in positions in the Zodiac that are completely opposite to one another, this is referred to as an opposition. This type of moon is known as a full moon. The full moon is associated with conclusion and culmination, and it is a source of emotional energy.
New Moon in Sagittarius: December 12th/13th 2023 (6:32 p.m. ET/00:32 a.m. CET)
The expansive and happy Sagittarius wants to see the world and experience all it has to offer. This means that Sagittarius New Moons are great for taking risks, seeing the world, learning, mentoring, writing, speaking, marketing, and promoting new opportunities.
Since Sagittarius isn’t one to take itself seriously and New Moons are full of energy and enthusiasm, we have a tendency to see the positive side of things and avoid dealing with anything weighty. Having fun and being receptive to change are both within our reach.
With Sagittarius as our ruler of space, we might try to get more room to move around and do as we like. More autonomy and freedom can be something we desire. Likewise, we have the capacity to defend ourselves, feel strongly about our position, and invest ourselves in our beliefs. Although this can help us avoid being a doormat, we should exercise greater self-control and listen to others before we speak.
The problem is that Mercury goes retrograde the day after the New Moon, so it might be hard to express ourselves clearly and communicate effectively. Perhaps we are uncertain of what to do, reevaluating our plans, or experiencing second thoughts.
This might be a great opportunity to revisit a previously abandoned project, get back to the big picture, or revive an old grand plan. Reworking and improving might be a good idea right now.
On December 23rd, Mercury will shift from Capricorn to Sagittarius during its retrograde phase. Therefore, make the most of the New Moon to prepare for Mercury’s return to Sagittarius. While this may not be the best time for starting over, it is perfect for getting a second chance. Problems with transportation, education, or the law may arise at this period.
The new moon occurs at 20 degrees 40 minutes Sagittarius.
The aspects to the new moon are:
Conjunction: 18 degrees 40 minutes – 22 degrees 40 minutes Sagittarius
Sextile: 18 degrees 40 minutes – 22 degrees 40 minutes Libra or Aquarius
Square: 18 degrees 40 minutes – 22 degrees 40 minutes Virgo or Pisces
Trine: 18 degrees 40 minutes – 22 degrees 40 minutes Aries or Leo
Opposition: 18 degrees 40 minutes – 22 degrees 40 minutes Gemini
Full Moon in Cancer: December 26th/27th 2023 (7:34 p.m. ET/1:34 a.m. CET)
Since Cancer is the sign that rules emotions, and Cancer Full Moons are typically quite emotional, the Full Moon tends to bring out a lot of feelings. Since the Moon rules Cancer, we have a far keener awareness of our emotions, the tides of life, and the things we require for a sense of stability. The present moment is ideal for tending to our emotional needs and for both receiving and offering emotional support.
With Mercury in retrograde right now, we might feel a little off, but this can help. Satisfying our emotional needs and focusing inward can have positive effects and give us a sense of empowerment.
We can prioritize our domestic lives, the people who support us, our families, and the people we consider family. Perhaps it would be wise to avoid going too far from our comfort zone and instead focus on what we are good at. We should probably try to be more objective and not be so biased.
An advantageous sextile aspect, with Jupiter in Taurus, and a trine aspect, with Saturn in Pisces, are both present during this Full Moon. We should try not to let ourselves be carried away by our emotions and instead cultivate a more hopeful outlook, as the sextile to Jupiter can assist with this. With the help of self-control brought about by the trine to Saturn, we can learn to channel our feelings constructively and put our energy into making something rock-solid.
The full moon occurs at 4 degrees 58 minutes Cancer.
Aspects to the full moon are:
Conjunction: 2 degrees 58 minutes – 6 degrees 58 minutes Cancer
Sextile: 2 degrees 58 minutes – 6 degrees 58 minutes Taurus or Virgo
Square: 2 degrees 58 minutes – 6 degrees 58 minutes Aries or Libra
Trine: 2 degrees 58 minutes – 6 degrees 58 minutes Scorpio or Pisces
Opposition: 2 degrees 58 minutes – 6 degrees 58 minutes Capricorn
