Sagittarius New Moon Tarot Spread + Year Review Tarot Journaling Prompts

The fiery Sagittarius New Moon is the final New Moon before the Yule/Christmas holidays. The Dark Moon days between now and the New Moon on Saturday (PST) or Sunday (GMT) is a great time to do a year review. Taking time to reflect on the past 11-12 months is the best way to assimilate the lessons of the past year and release anything we wish to leave behind in the old year.

The 2024 New Moon in Sagittarius

1. Sun-Moon Conjunction in Sagittarius: This New Moon at 9°33′ Sagittarius marks the beginning of a new cycle, emphasising optimism, adventure, and expanding horizons.
2. New Moon Square Saturn in Pisces: This challenging aspect suggests potential obstacles or delays in manifesting our new beginnings, requiring patience and perseverance.
3. New Moon Trine Mars: This supportive aspect boosts our energy and motivation levels, helping us take action on our new intentions. However, be mindful of the fact that Mars is about to move retrograde on 6 December.
4. Venus in Scorpio Trine Uranus in Taurus: This aspect may bring unexpected developments or excitement in relationships and finances.
5. Mercury Retrograde (25 Nov – 15 Dec): Communication and travel plans may face delays or misunderstandings, prompting us to review and revise our ideas.
6. Jupiter in Gemini: Expansion through learning and communication is highlighted.

This New Moon in Sagittarius offers a powerful opportunity to set intentions for personal growth and adventurous pursuits. The trick is to see the challenges presented by the Saturn square and Mercury retrograde as things that make us stronger and more focused.

General Information about the New Moon in Sagittarius

The main quality we want to harness during the Sagittarius New Moon is optimism. The ruler of Sagittarius is Jupiter, aka the ‘Greater Benefic.’ A Jupiterian New Moon is extremely auspicious for expanding in the direction of our goals and desires. The best way to make sure that the Higher Powers will add oomph to our process of co-creation is – as always – to make sure that what we wish for is in alignment with the Highest Good for All.

Pursuits favoured by a Sagittarius New Moon are higher learning, philosophy, religion, entertainment, teaching, travel, publishing and legal issues. Now is a good time to think about any courses you want to take in the new year, which publisher to send your book proposal to and where/what/how you would like to teach. It’s also a great time of year to plan next year’s holiday – especially if it involves travel to far-flung places.
