Sagittarius new moon reflection:

‘I seek a greater horizon for which my soul can explore freely.'

 

 







Sagittarius New Moon at 28°24’

Astrologer Colin Bedell says:

 


When was the last time you wandered? When was the last time you made direct contact with an unexpected outcome because you searched? And I don’t mean on a search engine, anything algorithmic or technological. I mean - direct, non-digital experience in the unknown? As I typed these words, I realize that I can’t remember. Which lets me know that I - and perhaps you - have outsourced Sagittarius discovery.


In a newsletter titled 'Rethink' from one of my favorite thinkers, Rachel Botsman, she wrote, “We have never had more ways to search….yet many of us feel less satisfied with what we find.” What a curious, mutable sign paradox, right? It’s never been so frictionless to find, and yet it doesn’t touch us the way we perhaps want it to. This, and more, we can bring to the annual New Moon in Sagittarius. Leaning on the New Moon reflection, 'I seek a greater horizon for which my soul can explore freely,' I invite you to reconnect wandering with searching. In the same newsletter by Botsman, she taught us that the Latin root of 'search' is circāre, meaning 'to wander.' And since we’re not often wandering, we’re not truly seeking. And if we’re not seeking, we’ll probably only encounter those fraudulent finds that give us temporary relief at best, but never the resonance that Sagittarius wants to give us.


Speaking of this very topic, if I could sum up what I’ve been wandering through in 2025, it’s been 'fire.' I’ve stayed firmly invested in understanding the many wisdoms of Aries, Le and Sagittarius, interestingly without any kind of specific Astrological transit that would corroborate this. What’s curious is that as I typed those signs, I started to cry. That’s resonance. An unexpected, unpredictable full contact visitation. I cried because I think I understand the wisdom of fire as the risk-taking of being fully alive, the courage to be all in where there are no guarantees, and the transformation that emerges when we give up control and let life speak to us freely. Seeing as Sagittarius is the final fire sign, I want you to review your capacity for risk-taking, your courage and the willingness to let life resonate in relationship with you in seeking, wandering through horizons. The New Moon chart is squaring Neptune at the final degree of Pisces. Another interaction inspiring to give up the agenda when wandering and searching. So we can be touched by the uncontrollable, unpredictable experiences of life. Especially when it comes to our relationship with relationships, because this New Moon is close to Venus also in Sagittarius, inspiring us to give up who we think people are and meet the familiar like they’re foreign again.


The chart of this New Moon and the concepts that have found me in my wandering will hopefully help you in yours. They can potentially be summarized beautifully by this idea from Marcel Proust, who said, "The only true voyage of discovery… would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is…” So if you cannot physically wander and search, perhaps you can just behold the Universe through the eyes of another and travel through the testimony of others and let yourselves be moved. 


 

Aries

Wisdom, Publishing, Discovery & Higher Education

Follow the path that feels alive, Aries. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to expand your perspective through experiences that take you beyond familiar understanding. Curiosity becomes your compass as you explore ideas, teachings and conversations that help you see the world with new eyes. This moment encourages wandering through questions that deepen your wisdom rather than trying to find instant answers. Let yourself be changed by what you learn and moved by the journeys that ask you to grow.

Action: Choose one idea, book or teaching this week and follow it wherever it leads, without forcing a conclusion.


Taurus

Intimacy, Empathy, Sexuality & Transformation

Let curiosity touch your heart, Taurus. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore intimacy with a spirit of discovery rather than certainty. This is a moment to ask questions that help you understand emotional truth inside yourself and inside the people you care about. Transformation happens when you wander gently into deeper conversations and let vulnerability guide connection. You are expanding your capacity for empathy by allowing others to be fully who they are.

Action: Ask one meaningful question that helps someone you trust share a deeper emotional truth with you. 


Gemini

Romance, Boundaries, Partnerships & Trust

Love feels like exploration, Gemini. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore the relational dialectics that shape connection like closeness and space, certainty and curiosity, autonomy and partnership. These dynamics aren’t problems, they are part of how relationships grow. When you approach them with openness and questioning, trust becomes easier to cultivate. Partnership can feel like an ongoing discovery rather than a fixed definition.

Action: Begin a dialogue about what feels exciting in your connection right now and notice how the conversation expands possibilities between you..
 

Cancer

Habits, Systems, Wellbeing & Routine

Small shifts shape big results, Cancer. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore the habits and systems that support your energy and your emotional steadiness. Curiosity becomes a tool for noticing what helps you feel grounded and what gently pulls you off center. When you pay attention to the subtle patterns that shape your day, wellbeing becomes easier to build with intention and care. Your routines want to feel alive rather than automatic.

Action: Adjust one daily habit in a way that supports your energy and notice the emotional difference throughout the week.


Leo

Self-Disclosure, Charisma, Creativity & Lovability

Your story wants to be expressed, Leo. The New Moon in Sagittarius highlights creativity, charisma and the ways you share your inner world with others. Curiosity guides you toward the kind of self-disclosure that feels authentic and meaningful, rather than performative. When you speak from your heart, your lovability feels unmistakable, and connection flows with more ease. Creativity grows when you explore what feels exciting rather than trying to perfect the outcome.

Action: Share one honest sentence about something you’re creating right now and notice how it opens connection.


Virgo

Vulnerability, Home, Family & Emotional Agility

Your inner world is shifting, Virgo. The New Moon in Sagittarius brings attention to the feelings, memories and interpretations that shape your experience of home and family. Curiosity becomes a pathway to emotional agility as you explore what your heart has been sorting through beneath the surface. Vulnerability guides repair and reconnection when you speak honestly about your needs and your history. Your emotional life is inviting a more compassionate narrative.

Action: Name one feeling that’s been present for you at home this week and share it with someone who can listen with care.


Libra

Curiosity, Observation, Dialogue & Active Listening

Your conversations are evolving, Libra. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore dialogue with a spirit of discovery rather than certainty. Curiosity guides connection when you listen for what the other person is trying to express beneath their words. Your ability to observe emotional nuance strengthens understanding and brings clarity to your important relationships. Communication becomes meaningful when presence and care shape the exchange.

Action: Ask one open-ended question in a conversation this week and listen fully without preparing your response.


Scorpio

Finances, Security, Clarity of Values & Pleasure

Value is your compass, Scorpio. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore the link between what you invest in and what you value most. Curiosity helps you notice where security feels aligned with pleasure and where adjustments would support your wellbeing. When you explore your financial choices through emotional honesty, clarity becomes easier to access. Security grows when your values guide your decisions consistently and calmly.

Action: Choose one financial or energetic decision this week and align it with a value that feels essential to your wellbeing.

 

Sagittarius

Identity, Desire, Autonomy & Freedom

You are meeting yourself again, Sagittarius. The New Moon in your sign invites you to explore who you are becoming beyond old roles and past expectations. Curiosity becomes a guide toward your desires as you notice what feels energizing, authentic and free. Identity expands when you explore what excites you rather than trying to define yourself too quickly. Autonomy grows through choices that reflect your inner truth.

Action: State one sentence about who you are becoming and use it to guide a decision this week.


Capricorn

Completion, Surrender, Healing & Spiritual Support

A chapter is shifting quietly, Capricorn. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore what is ending and what wants to be released without forcing closure. Curiosity becomes a gentle guide toward healing when you name what feels complete and soften into what comes next. Surrender helps your system reset and reorganize so your inner life can feel more spacious. Spiritual support arrives through small moments of reflection and honesty.

Action: Identify one story or feeling that feels ready to be released and share it with someone who can offer steadiness.


Aquarius

Friendship, Activism, Collaborations & Shared Humanity

Community is your horizon, Aquarius. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore friendships, networks and shared efforts that expand your sense of belonging. Curiosity guides collaboration when you ask what you can create together and how your participation strengthens collective purpose. Activism becomes more meaningful when your values shape the way you connect. This moment reminds you that shared humanity grows through dialogue and cooperative action.

Action: Reach out to someone whose vision inspires you and explore one way you can collaborate or support each other.


Pisces

Career, Leadership, Integrity & Discipline

Your direction is clarifying, Pisces. The New Moon in Sagittarius invites you to explore leadership through curiosity, rather than pressure. Discipline feels easier when your professional choices align with what you genuinely care about. Curiosity helps you notice the opportunities that open when you follow your interests with honesty and care. Integrity becomes a guiding principle as you speak about your goals and take steps that honor your evolving path.

Action: State one professional intention clearly this week and take a single grounded action that supports it.
