Sagittarius New Moon 19/12/25
The last New Moon of the calendar year perfects on December 19, 2025 at 8:43 PM ET, in fiery Sagittarius. This lunation opens a door: an invitation to expand your story, speak larger truths, and step toward the horizon of what’s genuinely meaningful. With Venus conjunct the New Moon, our intentions are colored by values, beauty, and heartfelt longing, asking us to plant seeds that feel authentic and magnetic.
Yet the sky reminds us that dreams must be tempered with discernment. The New Moon squares Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, urging us to distinguish between inspiration and illusion, imagination and structure. Your visions can expand, but only if grounded in responsibility, integrity, and conscious action.
This New Moon also falls just before the Winter Solstice, marked by an ancient Iranian tradition known as Shabe Yalda. On this longest night, darkness meets the promise of light, inviting reflection, honoring inner wisdom, and planting intentions. Even in the deepest night, the spark of renewal quietly stirs, ready to guide the year ahead, which is a perfect mirror to the expansive, truth-seeking energy of Sagittarius.
With Jupiter (as the ruler of this lunation) squaring Chiron, this New Moon carries a subtle tension between emotional expansion and the healing of old wounds. Our desire for abundance and emotional growth meets the call to confront past hurts around independence, courage, and asserting our needs. This aspect reminds us that bold intentions and expansive visions take root most effectively when they are grounded in both care for ourselves and the courage to act.
In the video above, I speak more about the next two weeks of the lunar cycle this New Moon initiates, and the types of energies to expect and work with, especially as we move into Sagittarius Season on November 21.
Questions to reflect on:
What truth or pursuit has been knocking gently for attention? And what would it look like to say yes to it?
What practical next step could turn a dream into a tangible beginning? (Name one.)
Where might you be mistaking romantic longing for sustainable desire? How can you check reality without destroying the wonder?
May these questions help you move through the New Moon’s potent energies with intention and clarity. If you’d like guidance to go even deeper, with a step-by-step ritual suggestion, and personalized messages for your Rising Sign, you can join us in the Cosmic Sanctuary membership.
Sending you all the blessings for the solstice and the start of the new calendar year.
with care,
Shadi
