Keep your head up! The Sagittarius new moon on December 12, 2023 (at 6:32 PM EST), reveals the silver lining again.

Have your hope, faith and optimism dwindled? We get it. After another contentious year on Earth, you’re certainly not alone. But the Sagittarius new moon on Tuesday, December 12, flips the lens and helps us to review life from a philosophical perspective.

Look in new directions for truth and inspiration as you redefine adventure for this challenging era.

True, it’s a lofty goal after the past several years have tested our emotional resilience and empathy. Sagittarius is the eternal seeker and student of the zodiac, however.

This new moon asks:
• What are we meant to learn from this?
• In what ways did we grow?
• Are there lessons still to apply?

The answers may not be easy—nor are they likely to come from the usual sources! And we’ll help you find them. Join us live for a Sagittarius new moon manifestation ritual on Tuesday, December 12 at 7PM EST/4PM PST. It’s all happening on our new channel, The AstroTwins Network (powered by Fireside). Sign up here to be part of the 12-12 ritual experience.

Are you thinking big enough?

The year’s only new moon in visionary Sagittarius nudges you out of the safety zone. Get ready for a bold entry into uncharted terrain or to take a supersized leap of faith.

Got the urge to travel? Even if your journey happens next year, don’t shy away from pressing “book now” on a great bucket-list destination deal. With courageous Mars mashing up with la luna, you’re feeling especially bold and ready to risk big. Multiply your adventurous and horizon-expanding ideas by (at least) ten. But make sure you’ve got a backup plan, since you could be tempted to gamble.

Need some extra motivation? Think about the people you’ll help and inspire as a role model. As healing comet Chiron breezes by the new moon in a supportive trine, do it for the people who didn’t get a chance—or those who might believe they can when you lead by example. Just keep one toe planted on terra firma, as a square from dreamy Neptune doesn’t exactly scream “practical” when it comes to your exciting plans.

Love and the Sagittarius new moon

As if you needed one more prompt to open your mind, speak your truth or broaden your outlook on love, well, here you go. The annual Sagittarius new moon pushes you off the diving board and into adventurous romantic waters.

Challenge yourself to try a different approach to dating or the way you communicate in your relationships. Spice up your bond by signing up for a couples’ workshop or planning a trip. If you’ve been trapped in the couple bubble, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Give yourself (and your partner) a little more breathing room in the weeks ahead.

You’ll have so much to talk about when you’re each expanding your personal horizons. Plus, supporting each other’s passions can be inspiring and fun!
