The planetary activity this week is subtle — certain shifts happen — so nonetheless, it's impactful. The New Moon happened in the wee hours yesterday morning Eastern Standard Time. In Sagittarius, this opens up the high holiday season: partying, celebration, connections with family and friends.

There’s been an increase of religious fervor; it gained traction in the later part of the last century and momentum this century. As many people have drifted away from religion, there’s been a focus by some to bring them back. This has been symbolized by Pluto first in Sagittarius and then Pluto in Capricorn. The emphasis is to make faith bigger, not just religious faith, but hope and dream expectations. Be mindful of a fervor that leads to blindsided narrow vision.

Think about the archer that pulls back the bow to aim for the goal. The New Moon gathers energy, and when in the waxing moon cycle, it helps to recognize your direction and your focus. This time of year, many faiths and religions focus on celebration or culmination or an expectation of what's ahead. For many of us it may be to plan family / friend events.

For others it's concentrated thoughts on a religious or ritual closing of the year. And this New Moon is strongly aspected to support unfolding action, for anything you want to give creative energy and drive. On Monday, there’s a picture in the sky between Venus and Uranus in the early morning that suggests new ideas from out of the blue. It might be, “wow, this person is very attractive to me”.

Why, if you never thought of this person or perhaps color, music or food as desirable or intriguing, suddenly it is so. This spontaneous interest can happen around December 2nd.

Keep in mind, that surprise kick can bring a buyer's remorse. You may not want to engage in something without thinking about the consequences. Unless it tracks with what that overall goal is, give it 12/24 hours to sit with it a bit to be certain you are prepared to do this.
