Sagittarius New Moon Miniscopes
Sagittarius New
Moon Miniscopes
Living in Truth.
Forward written by Anthony Perrotta, horoscopes written by Aubrey of @thegraveyardroses.
The New Moon is in Sagittarius 20º on December 12th at 4:32 PM ET. The Sun and Moon embrace, reminding us that reflection and growth go hand in hand. We embody the dichotomy of our own natures with a New Moon: the internal & external—intimate & exposed. The fact that it falls in Sagittarius should not go unnoticed, as expansion results from what is to come. When faced with adversity or limitation, Sagittarius pushes beyond all barriers to reach the highest point it can—and even then, it keeps going. We can start to see things for what they are, and there is no mistaking. We must step back and see the big picture.
Jupiter, the benevolent, is the leader of this New Moon. Wherever it touches, we see potential and growth—removing all obstacles that may stand in our way. Jupiter is in Taurus, stationing direct just a few weeks after this New Moon. We see that through trusting our intuition, we move from one space to another with more ease. Jupiter trines Mercury and opposes Venus at this lunation. Here we find that there is a need to speak our truths and living in our values — embodying them.
Neptune will square the New Moon, so we may not be ready to take those leaps of faith for our own sense of growth because we distrust our intuition. We are caught between the details and the big picture, unsure where to look and how far to go. We should seek to see the forest through the trees for this New Moon and keep that more expansive view. Neptune is now in direct motion and is slowly gaining momentum at this New Moon. This can also bring a bit of dreaminess or escapism at this time. We may be more clouded in perception, added only by Mercury stationing retrograde the day after this New Moon.
Venus and Mercury connect, aspecting through sextile and heading into this New Moon together. This has remained a theme the last few months: our head and our hearts are meant to align. There is an element of believing in our pleasure and our joy. Dialogue now is more abstract, future-forward, and aspirational. Don’t lose sight of your dreams. You may need to take time to re-evaluate what it will take to make your dreams come to life.
As all of this comes together, let it be a reminder that you are the hero of your story. You blaze the trail toward your future. You strike the match and light the way, guided by the stars in your eyes and overhead. As the narrative continues to unfold, you can feel more confident in your place in this world. Relish in the new opportunities that present themselves around you. You are your own knight in shining armour. Your soul knows no bounds.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 15º to 25º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
9th House
As we approach the final third of Sagittarius Season, the Sun and the Moon come together to highlight your 9th house, Aries, asking about things such as travel, education, spirituality, and the big picture of your life. Perhaps there's a new perspective you're ready to embrace now. Neptune reaches out from your 12th house of spirituality, as well, asking you to lean into your intuition and allow it to guide you. It may feel as if there's some sort of tension between what you want to believe in and what's bubbling just underneath the surface. You may have to do a little bit of excavation in order to truly see how the hidden parts of you line up with this new perspective. Luckily, Mercury is making harmonious aspects to both Venus and Jupiter - the leader of the New Moon - at this time, offering support by way of deeper relationships. Allow those you're close with to help you make sense of whatever is coming up. Embracing optimism underneath this lunation will actually take you quite far.
Jupiter leads this Moon in Taurus from your money and resources sector, with an extra boost from Mercury who is hanging out at the top of your chart in the area of your career. How does the work you're doing tie into the bigger perspective of your life? What resources are available to you now that can help you get closer to your vision?
Taurus & Taurus Rising
8th House
This New Moon May be an intense one, Taurus, as the luminaries place an emphasis on everything that normally stays hidden behind the veil of your 8th house. It is here that themes around secrets, sex, death, and all of your shared resources come forward, and the New Moon offers you a chance for renewal.
Neptune, still transiting Pisces and recently turned direct in your 11th house of community - plays a prominent role under this New Moon as well. There may be something that feels tense or confusing around relationships - especially your closer ones - and resources at this time. This might manifest as questions around money, who owns what, who owes who, etc., or it may show up as a desire for deeper connection with others in general. Trust your intuition to guide you towards the right people who are willing to go deeper with you.
Venus, your ruler, is currently hanging out in your intimate partnership sector, and will receive support from Mercury who is moving through your 9th house, asking about the big picture of your life. As relationships take center stage now, how are those you associate with influencing where you're headed?
Gemini & Gemini Rising
7th House
The keyword for this lunation is relationships, Gemini, as the Sun and Moon come together to highlight your partnership sector. This is a moment for renewal in love and all of your close, important relationships. Perhaps you're ready to take a new approach to love, or just ready to commit in greater droves in general. Either way, there is a chance to begin something new and more satisfying here.
Neptune reaches out from your 10th house of career, reputation, and legacy, which may both bring important business connections into focus, and create some sort of push and pull between your professional and intimate life. However, Mercury, your ruler, is receiving support from Venus who is moving through the arena of your 6th house. With Mercury currently in your house of shared resources, there IS support to be found from those you are close with. This could be emotional support, financial support, or just help that you feel you truly need in some way. Allow others to be there for you. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need.
Cancer & cancer Rising
6th House
Health and the routines that makeup your daily life may be heavy on your mind at this time, Cancer, as the New Moon arrives to offer you a chance to make some much needed adjustments. Perhaps lately it's become clear that you need to pivot in some way to make your day-to-day life more fulfilling or sustainable in some way. This lunation offers you the opportunity to look at things with a fresh set of eyes, ready to implement a new approach.
Neptune reaches out from your 9th house, placing a further emphasis on the need for a new perspective, and asking what needs to happen in the daily to line up with the big picture. What sort of structures can you implement so that the way you're living your life is helping you move towards the bigger picture you dream of?
Jupiter leads this Moon in Taurus from your house of community. With help from Mercury in your partnership sector, perhaps there is something to gain through the support of those you care about. You don't have to do it all. Let others be there for you as you are for them. Venus, who is currently in your 5th house of joy, also lends a helping hand here. Don't forget that you deserve to experience enjoyment in your daily life, too. Hanging out with those you love most can be a nourishing and replenishing well right now.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
5th House
Fun, creativity, and play are on the docket underneath this New Moon, Leo, as your 5th house of joy comes into focus at this time. Perhaps there's a new creative endeavor you're wanting to embark upon, or some new version of yourself that is being birthed now. It may simply be that you realize you need more joy in your life and that living in the present moment is important. Whatever the case may be, there's a ripe opportunity to give yourself permission to have more fun.
Neptune, who just stationed direct in your house of shared resources, sex, and transformation, creates some tension both with the New Moon and with the Sun, your ruler. This dynamic can bring some confusion and make clarity feel elusive. With Mercury about to station retrograde the following day, it's best to lean heavily into your intuition and embrace your inner knowing at this time. Balance can be found, but you may need to get creative when it comes to having it.
Meanwhile, Jupiter leads this lunation from your 4th house of family and foundations. Mercury does reach out to lend a helping hand from your 6th house of daily routines, so don't shy away from embracing a new perspective. How can you weave more joy and support into your daily life?
Virgo & Virgo Rising
4th House
This New Moon is bringing your foundations, family, home, and most trusted inner circle to the forefront now, Virgo, with both the luminaries hanging out at the bottom of your chart. You may feel pretty introverted under this New Moon, and truly focused on your personal space, and/or tending to your family in some way. With Neptune aspecting the Sun and Moon from your partnership sector, your most intimate relationships are front and center right now. Because this is a tense aspect, it's possible there are some differences to reconcile between the demands of those close to you, and your own needs, especially with the luminaries squaring your 1st house of yourself!
Luckily, Mercury, your ruler, receives a supportive boost from Jupiter in Taurus, the leader of this New Moon. Mercury is currently transiting your house of creativity, joy, and the present moment, while Jupiter hangs out in your 9th house of travel, faith, and the big picture. How can you benefit from some bigger doses of optimism and faith? Trust that you are supported.
As Mercury stations retrograde the following day, perhaps there are some lessons around allowing greater ease to enter into your relationships.
Libra & Libra Rising
3rd House
This lunation may have you quite busy, Libra, as the Sun and Moon join together in your 3rd house, highlighting the immediate environment around you. There may also be a focus on communication, learning, and possibly even something around siblings. Perhaps you have a lot on your plate or have gained some recent clarity around spreading up for yourself and sharing your knowledge and emotions. Now would be a great time to change up this dynamic and move towards greater authenticity and sincerity.
With Neptune hanging out in your 6th house, a question arises around the way you're living your daily life. Do you have the routines and structures in place to support all of the busyness in your life? Because Neptune is forming a tense aspect to both the Sun and the New Moon, you may feel torn between what you want to do, and what you need to do. Do what Libra does best and try to find balance.
Jupiter in Taurus, the leader of this lunation, continues its stay in your house of transformation, sex, and shared resources. With help from Mercury in your house of roots and foundation, there is support to be found from your inner circle. Keep in mind that Mercury will station retrograde here the following day, and there may be a need to reassess the supportive foundations you're building from.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
2nd House
Money matters may be a prominent theme underneath this New Moon, Scorpio, as this New Moon highlights your house of resources and values. Perhaps there are new values that have been emerging for you, both around yourself and your relationship to the material, and now you're ready to begin anew. With your ruler Mars also present in this same area, now is the time to take some real action here.
With Neptune putting some pressure on the Sun and Moon from your creativity sector, there may be some kind of tension that exists between your desire for play and joy, and your resources. Trusting your instincts will lead to clarity as you search for a way to marry the two.
Jupiter in Taurus is the leader of this new Moon, and is hanging out in your committed partnerships sector. Mercury reaches out from your house of communication, inspiring new ideas and conversation. Perhaps connecting with those around you can help to channel new inspiration and joy.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
1st House
This time the New Moon is occurring in your sign, Sagittarius, offering the chance to plant new seeds of growth around who you are, what you believe, and where you'd like to go from here. This is your moment to fully embrace your newest, truest identity and lean heavily into your beliefs. There may be an unusual push and pull between who you really are and who others - in particular, your family - want you to be. This is thanks to a tense square from Neptune happening from your house of family and roots. Leaning into your potent intuition, and maybe even seeking guidance from your ancestors, will bring the clarity you're looking for. How can you marry where you come from with who you are now?
Jupiter, your ruler, leads this lunation in Taurus, and is currently hanging out in your 6th house of your daily life. With some help from Mercury in your house of resources and self-esteem, perhaps there's something available to you in your daily life that help you find solid ground. Bear in mind that Mercury will station retrograde the following day, asking you to reassess the value you place on yourself.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
12th House
The New Moon and the Sun join hands in your 12th house, Capricorn, placing an emphasis on the parts of yourself that you normally keep hidden. In some ways, the energy of this lunation may feel difficult to access. There is a need for some alone time and quiet to allow understanding to surface. If you feel particularly introspective or withdrawn during this time, that's okay. Honor your need for solitude.
It's true that this may be easier said than done for you as Neptune stirs up a lot of busyness from your 3rd house. You may have a lot of errands or demands on your plate, and the need for communication in some way may feature strongly. Do your best to find as much balance as possible - recognizing that it may be more of a yes/and moment than an either/or. You may be busy, AND need some space.
Your ruler Saturn is also co-present with Neptune, seeking to bring more sustainability to your busy life. It's highly possible that reassessing what feels sustainable to you is the key to finding greater harmony.
Jupiter leads this Moon from your 5th house of joy! Don't shy away from allowing more to be present in your life. Fun is important too.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
11th House
This lunation brings the themes of community front and center for you, Aquarius, highlighting all of the social circles you currently run in. Perhaps there's a new community you're looking to serve or be a part of, or a group of people you feel emboldened to serve. You may also have your sights set on the future, setting some new goals for yourself. Either way, there is an opportunity to plant some new seeds of growth.
Neptune exerts some tension on this New Moon from your house of resources and self-esteem. You may be questioning what you truly value now and trying to ensure that your goals and the people around you line up with those values. There may be something that feels a bit out of place here, or that they're at odds with one another in some way. You may have to let your objectivity take a back seat in order to allow your intuition to guide you now.
Your ruler Saturn is co-present with Neptune in Pisces, looking to bring stability and a commitment to evolution around the way you value yourself, and the resources available to you.
Jupiter in Taurus leads this lunation from your 4th house, and receives a helping hand from Mercury in your 12th. This dynamic places an importance on solitude, and your closest loved ones. Perhaps that is the most helpful and supportive community for you right now.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
10th House
Underneath this New Moon, your focus is on your career and reputation, Pisces, seeing you confronting the work you're doing and the legacy you're building. While there is an opportunity to start something new here, Neptune, who has recently stationed direct in your first house of your identity, is exerting some tension on both the Sun and the Moon. This may create a push and pull dynamic between who you truly are, and the ways you may be expected to - or required to - show up in a more public and/or professional setting. Neptune brings with it a heavy fog - that nobody knows better than you! - that can make the answer seem elusive. In this moment it's best to do what you do best, and lean into your intuition to find the answer at this time.
Jupiter, your ruler, leads this lunation from your communication sector. With support from Mercury, perhaps there's something around the way you share, or WHAT you share that can play a key role in how you show up. Keep in mind that Mercury will station retrograde in the house of community the following day, which will have you reassessing the different circles you run in. Showing up differently, aka more sincerely, may cause these circles to change.
