Freedom-loving Sagittarius is the sign of adventure, long-seeing vision, imagination and inspiration. This New Moon in early Sagittarius is accompanied by Mercury and Venus, inviting a highly personal adventure and vision. Positively activated by Chiron in Aries, fire sign to fire sign, we are encouraged onto a fresh, inventive trail of discovery off the beaten path and into the quantum.

See more of his photos in Quetico Connection, his book of threaded poetry and photography from adventures in Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. John shares “the joy of a paddle in clear, clean water, sleeping in the solitude of the north forest, that moment of exhilaration when something hits your lure or your camera is pointed at something amazing, at exactly the right time. We all feel those moments when we are one with nature … in the first person, that intimacy and discovery.” If you want to contribute to the publication for a copy of this beautiful book, go here

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
-Robert Frost, last lines from his poem, ‘The Road Not Taken’
“These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.”

CHiron, the Shamanic Teacher/Healer, sets us on a bridge to somewhere. But where? Over the rainbow? Or into a ‘New Earth,’ a new way of living together on this small globe? This New Moon shows the Arrow of Truth to the Sagittarian Archer in each of us. Imagine a vision close to your heart, pull back the bow and let that arrow fly.
Both Mercury and Venus accompany this New Moon, a lovely combination that can align thoughts and emotions, head and heart. With this conjunction, communications are more harmonious; others are more receptive to one’s words. Sagittarius is the Truth seeker and the Truth speaker, sometimes too blunt. Venus can soften and sweeten.
Sagittarius is also a story telling sign, at times using exaggeration or mythic imagination for effect. What stories are you telling? It could be time for new ones! Craft an adventure worth telling.
Saturn in Aquarius starts to pull away from its square to the Moon’s Nodes, the collective Line of Destiny. The tide has turned in the last eclipsed Moon cycle. We are moving forward in determining our collective road forward. Uranus continues to beckon, indicating that change is the only practical option. This new story can be exciting. Fire up your thrill of adventure under this dark moment of the Moon, and determine what you want to experience as we move on. Together we are both imagining and creating our New World of Wild Wonder.
Jupiter, the Amplifier, has returned to Pisces for just a couple of months, late October to late December, confabbing with Neptune, the Dreamer. Collectively we imagine the Big Dreams that create our reality. Let’s make them sweet dreams.
Reminding you that Mars in Gemini is still retrograde (until January 12, 2023!), read this again from my last newsletter, continuing totally relevant in this New Moon cycle:
“Mars, retrograde in Gemini, asks us to be open-minded about what is happening. No taking for granted, but rather be curious. Do a double-take on information coming out. Squaring both Neptune and Jupiter, there is a lot of fog and obfuscation in the communications arena. Look into things yourself rather than taking someone else’s word. Remind yourself that we are called to into our hearts rather than our heads for the truth that resonates for us.”
I would just edit that last sentence to read, “you are called to align heart and our head for truth that resonates for you.”
Mars, bright red in the night sky, is the major player on the Full Moon. Actions carefully considered, rather than rash and reactive, are available, responsible and effective in the long run, especially as we consider the many options that are possible. Keep your mind open and curious as the story unfolds along with the waxing Moon.
How do you know you are on your true path, with so many roads and possibilities converging in these awesome times? Your heart will tell you. It will make sense. You will feel more your Self, more confident. A big “Yes!” wells up inside you, in a quietly assured way.
Aim your arrow from Truth & Beauty,
waxing toward a Wonder-Full Moon on December 7-8.
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
—Poet John Keats from Ode to a Grecian Urn
