This Sagittarius New Moon, right as the year closes, is bringing with it the medicine we need most: hope. If you’re not quite woo, allow me to set the scene. New Moons are thought of as a time for setting intentions, to nurture something into fullness. This particular New Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius, arriving at 8:43 PM (EST) on Friday, December 19th. Sagittarius can be thought of as the adventurer, the optimist, the student — a vibrant energy that encourages us to embrace the unknown.
