Sagittarius new moon reflection:
‘There is never ending room for growth within my spiritual beliefs, I expand my vision of the future.'
Sagittarius New Moon at 09° 32’
Astrologer Colin Bedell says:
In my seven years as an astrologer, I’ve noticed a cultural tendency to reject some of Sagittarius’ wisdom. While it’s vital to avoid spiritual bypassing or toxic positivity, I often see the eye rolls directed at optimism and faith — especially when they challenge the limiting beliefs we protect so fiercely. In other words, the culture loves to believe that the sky IS a ceiling. While there might be times and places where that perspective holds true, I think it’s important to look at the astrological calendar and say, “Well, it’s certainly not now.”
This perspective aligns beautifully with Viktor Frankl’s concept of tragic optimism —the idea that even in the face of suffering, we can find meaning, purpose and hope. Born with a Sagittarius Moon, Frankl embodied this energy, writing, 'Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.' Sagittarius energy invites us to adopt this mindset, not as a dismissal of reality’s challenges, but as an insistence on reaching for meaning and growth even in uncertainty. The New Moon reminds us: optimism isn’t naïve — it’s an act of courage.
Astrologically, the chart for this New Moon amplifies this belief. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter in Gemini, highlighting the power of expansive thinking while challenging us to reflect on the narratives we tell ourselves. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, encourages optimism, while Mercury retrograde reminds us to revise and refine the stories that no longer serve our growth. Together, they create a dynamic tension that asks: What beliefs are holding you back? How can you embrace new perspectives to unlock the possibilities waiting just beyond your comfort zone?
Adding to this energy, Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, bringing the theme of personal power to the forefront. Mars in Leo fuels courage, creativity and self-expression, but Pluto’s influence demands that we confront the shadow dynamics of control, fear and power struggles. This opposition invites us to reclaim our agency by balancing the desire for personal recognition (Mars) with a commitment to collective transformation (Pluto). The question becomes: How can you step into your power in a way that uplifts both yourself and the greater good? This aspect challenges us to use our power responsibly, reminding us that true strength comes from aligning personal will with purpose and integrity.
Under this New Moon, we’re being asked to trust in life’s expansiveness while taking courageous steps to redefine our sense of possibility and power. It’s a moment to reach higher, dream bigger and act boldly, knowing that the only limits are the ones we impose on ourselves.
