As we harness this last New Moon for the year, it is a perfect time to think about what we would like 2024 to hold for us. It will be quite a year with some significant astrological shifts that I will be commenting about soon. Meanwhile, embrace this end of Saggie Season too.

If you are interested in what 2024 holds for you specifically, I am taking bookings now for early into 2024. It can be an excellent opportunity to learn how to consciously ride the waves coming your way, to help you prepare and ponder on what questions the Universe is asking of you now.

The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs in Australia, Easter Standard Time on the 13th of December at 10.32 am. This New Moon holds powerful Sagittarius energy as we have the Sun, Moon and Mars in Sagittarius. Being a New Moon is a brilliant opportunity to harness themes of expansion opportunity and to integrate the wisdom we have accumulated this year into ourselves as we step forward into the year ahead. This New Moon allows us to take stock of how our belief structures have or have not served us. How have we navigated the path we have walked down to arrive at our version of the truth?

Sagittarius energy is a lot about faith, faith in the Universe, spirit, whatever you like to call it, that gives your life meaning and direction. Saggie energy being about faith can enable you to embark on a new path with confidence all will be okay. We can tap into this New Moon energy to integrate something new; it offers a chance to incorporate new philosophies into your belief structure that will take you forward positively and upliftingly. Look to see where 20 degrees of Sagittarius is in your chart to gauge what area in your life is asking for new philosophical perspectives.

With the ruling planet of Saggitarius, Jupiter being in Taurus, it could be an opportunity to set some new intentions around how we think about and how we utilise our financial resources. This could be an excellent time to set new financial goals for ourselves.

Daily life can lead us to spend most of our time concerned for the mundane areas of life. Still, this New Moon, with so much Saggie energy and with an aspect from mystical Neptune in the mix, asks us to ponder how we may be able to view our philosophies with new eyes, how we can learn, grow and evolve. Where can we expand our philosophical and spiritual truths and practices ? What do we believe is possible for us that we may not have dared believe was possible before? Sag loves to learn, explore and expand our awareness, so this is very much what is being asked of out right now: to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones in the hope that we will find an enlightening part of ourselves we may not have known existed. Where do we need to be philosophically and spiritually courageous? The Sun and Moon are in a harmonious aspect to the North Node, which can offer us some real opportunity for growth in these areas on a soul level.

However, we need to be careful with Neptune here to be wary of where we may also deceive ourselves, where we may be wearing our rose-coloured glasses too much and not seeing reality for what it is, so this is worth being aware of. Where could we be deceiving ourselves in these areas as well? Where might we need more practicality rather than just blind faith and belief? With Neptune playing a significant role during this New Moon, we may be wise to question whether we are really being honest with ourselves.

On a more mundane level, this is an excellent time for some blue sky brainstorming and defining our big picture goals for the upcoming year. We can use this time to actively meditate on what you want to manifest for yourself in the upcoming year. Again, with Neptune in the mix, it is worth considering what is realistic and what may not be realistic.

This is a brilliant time for dreaming and thinking about what is possible whilst waiting for the Sun to move into Capricorn later in the month, which will allow us to start making plans to bring our vision into reality. With Mars in Sagittarius as well, this is very much a time to think about how we would like to actively participate in our lives, how we would like to prepare for opportunities that come our way, and where we should feel more comfortable about taking new risks, learning new things, allowing ourselves to grow and evolve.

But lets not also forget this is also a time to allow ourselves to have some fun. With the World being in such a dark place, many of us are feeling an overwhelming collective heaviness. This New moon is a reminder that we should still look for light, especially when life is dark. Its ok to let our hair down once in a while and celebrate with loved ones, to hold those who are dear to us, close to our hearts and celebrate the good we have whilst we have it.

I hope this New Moon brings you all ou wish and hope for.

FULL MOON IN GEMINI- Unlocking Beliefs

So, we have made it to the second last Full Moon of the year, where we are offered a chance to release of all that we wish to leave behind before we step into 2024. The last few months have been pretty intense with the eclipses and oh-so-many retrograde planets.

The energy is lifting now, where we take all we have allowed ourselves to immerse in and begin to process our learning. The themes for this Full Moon are very much around how our thinking affects our beliefs, how we use the information we have gathered throughout the year and especially the last few months to consciously release any pent-up anger or confusion before moving forward.

I have also created my free Gemini Full Moon workbook, which goes into additional detail about how to work with this Full Moon and includes questions for reflection, affirmations and some rituals to work with. An extra focus for those of you who may have your natal moon in Gemini: there is a special section included just for you.

The Gemini Full Moon occurs in Australia on November 27th at 8.16 pm Australian Eastern Time.

This Full Moon is an excellent opportunity to take all we have learned over the past few months and acknowledge, shift, sort through the information you have acquired and sort through what thinking, thought patterns or beliefs you now know you no longer need, you are ripe to release before we head into the New Year.

A brief warning, though, as buoyant as Saggie Season is, this Full Moon may have our energy levels feeling a little scattered, like we are not too sure where to land or what to focus on. With Saturn in a square aspect to the Sun, Moon and Mars, we may feel edgy a little discombobulated, and there is a risk of our emotions perhaps being a little tricky to access and harness. This is also due to Lilith's passionate and firey appearance during this Full Moon. On the upside, Saturn can possibly help us to reign in some of the usual excesses that can come with both Saggie and Gemini energy.

As we explore the Sagittarian Gemini Axis, we are reminded of the power of perception and the importance of accumulating, integrating, and absorbing information to shape our belief systems or philosophical backbones that ultimately shape our value systems and life choices.

This Full Moon emphasises how we choose to use the information we now have in front of us.

Feeding our higher mind is the realm of Sagittarius, but collecting the information, to begin with, is in Gemini’s court, so this is an opportunity to bring both into balance, to explore where we may be too big picture blue sky focused and lacking detail or conversely where we spend too much focus on the minute details of life, not allowing ourselves time to free fall into blue sky ideals. Both are needed.

We can now explore how the knowledge we have accumulated this year has served us, or otherwise, as the case may be. Have we learned things that have helped us grow, and how can we integrate it into a platform to launch from as we approach the New Year?

We can use this Full Moon to really focus on these themes and especially release and let go of any thinking patterns that no longer serve us.

Themes of learning may arise now, too. As adults, we can be scarred by how we experienced learning in a traditional education environment: it can lead us to hold onto beliefs about how we learn that may hold us back from pursuing new educational experiences.

If there is something you have wanted to learn but have been afraid of the process, this is an excellent time to consciously let that fear go and embark upon a new frontier of learning.

The Square to the Sun, Moon and Mars in Sagittarius from Saturn in Pisces could possibly help us consolidate and bring some structure to ideas around these themes, but it could also bring up some fears and barriers we might need to work through still. With Saturn in the mix of this Full Moon, we may be confronted directly with fears. Let's sit with this for a few days either side of this lunation and shift through what might be holding you back.

When discussing Gemini, we must mention the fine art of communication. Relaying information, getting messages across and making ourselves heard and understood by others is all in the realm of Gemini energy and with Mercury the ruling planet of Gemini, also in Sagittarius, we can harness this time to think broadly about our communication needs and goals. Are we being understood by others? Do we listen to understand or are we thinking about what we will say next, not taking the time to hear what the other person has to say?

Do you need to communicate some specific messages to others as part of your business? Is it being embraced, heard and responded to or not? This can be a great time to think about our communication goals, styles and responses to others and to think about letting go of traits, habits or styles that may not serve us in this regard.

Both Gemini and Sagittarius energy is mutable, meaning it is adaptable, flexible and well-able to embrace change. Change can be difficult for many of us, and so this is a time where we can think about what changes we may want to make in life, what changes we resist and what we fear around change. This can be an excellent time to let go of any nuances that may prevent us from embracing the change we know we need or the change we would like to see in our lives.

Overall, however, this is undoubtedly a more harmonious and workable Full Moon compared to some of our more recent lunations. This is a great time to have more fun, to access your inner child, play, let go of heaviness and find the joy of the holiday season.

SAGITTARIAN SEASON- On the way up

Are you ready to breathe a collective sigh…not that the world is in a great place, let's be honest, but boy, has this past Scorpio Season been intense. Don’t get me wrong, I love a conscious journey into the underworld, but there was much more in the basement than I had remembered.

With the last of the eclipses across the Scorpio-Taurus axis, I hope many of us are feeling purged and released from any ties that may have bound us to lessons we needed to learn.

As a Sagittarian, I am already planning various celebrations. Yes, it will be my solar return in December, so look out for my Birthday Giveaway on Instagram ( Follow here if you don't already), where I will offer one lucky person an opportunity to win a free full 90-minute chart reading with me. Details to come, so stay tuned.

I am also celebrating a super important milestone. It is ten years since I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, and I have been on some pretty intense medication every day for ten years. As the Sun moves into Sag, it ends; I have made it to this milestone. Not everyone has been so lucky, and I have lost one very special friend. Still, I feel like I have no lifeboat now and need to swim on my own. It feels a bit scary but also such a relief. I feel incredibly joyful, grateful and blessed to be here still and to engage with the future again as all Saggies should.

So now we are in Saggie Season, it is time to sharpen our arrows and shoot them off into the future, to think big picture and to engage with our personal philosophies of how we would like our life to look, especially as we head toward the end of the year and into 2024. So take a break and allow yourself to do some big-picture dreaming.

The Sun moves into fiery mutable Sagittarius on November 23rd, Eastern Australian Time at 1.03 am. We are followed very quickly after this, with Mars joining the Sun in Sagittarius on the 24th. With both these Firey planets in this Firey sign, we will feel an upward shift of energy, a momentum into the future of blue sky planning and possibly a little partying as we head into the silly season.

Mars and the Sun in Sagittarius are all about increased energy, a desire to activate and move toward what inspires us, helps us grow and gives us a sense of meaning and purpose.

We might feel more inspired now to think about how we would like to expand ourselves, our awareness, and our perspectives. This is an excellent time to envision how we can manifest new possibilities, opportunities, and growth potential.

This is also excellent energy for planning a trip, embarking on an adventure, or starting new projects that require a lot of optimism. We do need to be aware of perhaps making sure we have covered all the details as this energy is all full of enthusiasm but not necessarily staying power. Do remember to plan to plan

In Australia, Saggie season marks a time of moving into Summer, getting our holiday vibe on and letting go of the year's stresses. Sag is our mutable fire energy, the last of the fire signs in the zodiac. It is forward-moving energy, always looking forward to the next adventure, the next great idea or philosophical trend.

Optimism and Sagittarius energy go hand in hand. They have great faith in the bounty of the universe and a tremendous capacity to learn from and gain meaning from life. In general, Sagittarian energy is hard-wired to see the glass half full, look for the best in life, and be consistently faithful that things will be ok.

On the 27th, Mars and the Sun oppose the Full Moon in Gemini at 4 degrees of Gemini. This Full Moon will feel lighter energy than some of our more recent Full Moons. The Gemini Sagittarius polarity includes themes that may come up regarding which piece of the picture we see, are we obsessing over details or spending too much time with our heads in the clouds? We may also have the opportunity to solidify some of our ideas and plans as Saturn is in relationship to this lunation, adding a little more of a serious and grounded note to the equation. Of course, there will be much more about this Full Moon at the time.

We may find our thinking and communication styles more grounded, practical, and real when Mercury moves into Capricorn on December 2nd. This is a positive element throughout this Sagittarius season, helping us focus and solidify our ideas. However, Mercury will turn retrograde on December 13th until January 1st and, on the 23rd of December, will move back into Sagittarius for a while, then turn back into Cap on the 13th of January.

We taste more Scorpio energy when Venus moves into Scorpio on the 5th of December. This will add an element of intense passion to our already Firey Sagittarian Season and motivate us to connect with others on a deeper level.

Sagittarian energy is all about finding meaning and those elements that can expand our understanding of the world and our place in it. On the 7th of December, Neptune, our planet of spiritual mysticism, finally turns direct in its own sign of Pisces. If Sagittarius is about meaning, Pisces is about higher meaning spiritual connection, so we may feel more inclined toward spiritual pursuits.

Neptune falls into the mix during the New Moon in Sagittarius as well, occurring on December 13th. The New Moon will elevate all Sagittarian themes of thinking big, being optimistic, and hopeful, but with Neptune in the mix, we will need to be aware of perhaps wearing rose-coloured glasses and the potential of not seeing the truth in front of us, which can be a very Sagittarian trait. We should be encouraged now to be as realistic as we can but also to embrace this Neptunian energy and tap into our imaginations, intuition, and creativity, allowing us to dream bigger than we have been able to for a while.

Sag season asks us to have fun and expand our awareness to seek new experiences that offer us growth and broaden our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

As we move toward the end of the year, I will be winding up soon.
