Working with the Sagittarius New Moon

The Sagittarius New Moon came into play on December 2nd of this year, and many people are feeling the effects of the powerful alignments that have arrived with this cosmic event.  Some may be feeling a great need to have a lot of space around them, and others may be feeling an intensity in polarities with others in their lives.  The points of view that are held by people may appear to vary greatly and hold strong emotional charges, although there is great difficulty now in reaching a sense of which points of view may be regarded as "right".  More and more, we will begin to see an increase in the desire to reach a deeper understanding of the unknown. 

Frameworks and constructs, as we have built them as a collective up until this point, are being dismantled as the much greater scope of space in all of its forms becomes felt by us.  This sensation of an inner knowing beginning to awaken can be quite unsettling in its initial stages.  Like a bear waking from a long and deep winters' sleep, we are beginning to emerge from a collective cave.  Just as we are beginning to feel the deepest microcosms of our bodies and essential cores start to 'make more sense', we are beginning to absorb a stronger innate knowing of the cosmic mind and its motions - even though we may not fully understand or be able to put words to it yet.  The depth of the microcosmic self is equal to the depth of the macrocosmic self.  So many unprecedented events are happening in the cosmos at the moment, and these are affecting us at our deepest levels - massive and frequent coronal mass ejections, pole reversal upon the sun, and pole reversal upon the earth, to name only a few.  New rays of energy and frequency are coming to us, and shifting the 'planetary mind'.  Simply by default, and due to the precious interconnection of all things, thought patterns held by the body and mind are shifting while space opens up to allow new energies to flow.

Ultimately, all of these events prepare fertile ground for taking on new projects and studying new things.  This is an early initiation of awakening, and a perfect time to clear old and stagnant emotions.  That which previously may have felt beyond reach no longer seems so far away.  In the event that you may be struggling a little bit with gaining clarity on your next steps, here are a few ideas on taking action:

• Take responsibility - The power in taking full responsibility for anything is that you give yourself the power to change it.  If you believe that something is inside of your control, you can always find a way to have what you want.  You’ll never be stuck.  Clarity is something that you ultimately create, not something that happens to you. If you're currently not as well practiced at creating clarity as you would like, resolve that you're going to work on this.  Start by making a decision and then sticking with it until success is achieved. Since you get better at making decisions by being aware of your priorities, you may need to spend some time contemplating what’s most important to you.
• Use your past - Your past is a tool that's always available.  Your level of clarity hasn't always been constant. There have been times in your life when things seemed much clearer than they are right now. There have also been times when you felt more uncertain.
• Visualize - You may think that things have to be a certain way before you can feel clear. Having everything “just so” can make focusing easier. However, even when things aren’t perfect, you can still choose to make a decision and stick with it.  Instead of waiting for the ideal circumstances, visualize what your life would be like if they were in place.  What would you know that you don’t know right now?  How would you feel?  Visualization can help you make decisions as though things are actually already the way you want them to be.
• Write down your goals and review them - Having a written objective will help you stay clear. First of all, you have to make some decisions to even have a goal in the first place. Second, by reviewing that goal every day, you'll keep reinforcing that objective. As you do this work, your clarity will become a little greater each day.  Reviewing your goals first thing in the morning and last thing at night should work well for you.
• Believe that an 'okay' goal is better than no goal - Many people get stuck making a goal because they believe they have to come up with the perfect goal.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Don't spend too much time or energy creating the goal.  Choose something that feels good to you and start working with it.
• Focus on one project at a time - Having a high level of clarity is easier if you're only focusing on one thing at time. After you've achieved several goals, then you can try working on several goals simultaneously.  Avoid spreading yourself too thin.

Take time to connect with the deepest parts of you, and become acquainted with them in such a way that your essential truth shines forth from within.  Sagittarius, being the archer, is all about taking aim and reaching all of that which you may have never thought possible.  This is a pivotal moment in time.  Take the time to sense the greater expansiveness within and around you, and grab hold of the truth of that which you mean to make manifest for the greatest good.  Then take hold of your arrow, place it upon your bow, give gratitude for all you have been and all you shall become, pull back and aim ... and gracefully open your heart and mind to the stars.
