New Moon in Sagittarius: Expansion & Adventure Ritual (November/December)

Understanding New Moon in Sagittarius Energy

If Scorpio was about going deep into the underworld, Sagittarius is about shooting your arrow toward the stars. The new moon in Sagittarius is the universe handing you a passport and saying, "The world is yours. Dream bigger. Go farther. Believe in the impossible."

Occurring between November 22 and December 21, this new moon activates the mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance, and good fortune. This is the most optimistic, adventurous, and expansive new moon of the entire year. Sagittarius doesn't do small—it demands you think BIGGER.

The Sagittarius Archetype: The Explorer & The Philosopher

Sagittarius is the traveler, the teacher, the philosopher, the one who seeks truth and meaning beyond the horizon. This sign doesn't just want to see the world—it wants to UNDERSTAND it. During this new moon, you're being called to expand your horizons, seek adventure, and discover your personal truth.

During this new moon, you're being called to:

• Expand your horizons - Travel, explore, experience new cultures and perspectives
• Dream bigger - Set audacious goals, believe in possibilities, aim higher
• Seek truth & meaning - Study philosophy, spirituality, higher knowledge
• Embrace adventure - Take risks, try new things, step outside your comfort zone
• Teach & share wisdom - Become a teacher, mentor, guide for others
• Cultivate optimism - Trust in abundance, see the bright side, have faith

Step-by-Step Sagittarius New Moon Ritual

Step 1: Create Your Explorer's Altar (15 minutes)

Sagittarius energy is EXPANSIVE and WORLDLY. Your altar should inspire adventure.

1. Choose an open, spacious area (Sagittarius hates feeling confined)
2. Lay down purple or royal blue cloth
3. Place your purple candle in the center
4. Arrange crystals in an arrow shape pointing outward (expansion!)
5. Add your globe or world map prominently
6. Include travel photos, souvenirs, or images of places you want to visit
7. Stack books on subjects you want to learn
8. Add arrow, compass, or other adventure symbols
9. Make it INSPIRING—Sagittarius wants to feel EXCITED

Step 2: Set the Expansive Mood (10 minutes)

Sagittarius is about FREEDOM and POSSIBILITY.

1. Open all windows and doors (if weather permits)—Sagittarius needs AIR and SPACE
2. Play world music or uplifting, adventurous soundtracks
3. Burn frankincense or sage to elevate the energy
4. Wear comfortable, loose clothing (Sagittarius hates restriction)
5. Stand and stretch—reach your arms up and OUT
6. Take 10 deep breaths, expanding your chest and lungs
7. FEEL the spaciousness and possibility

Step 3: Invoke Jupiter Energy (5 minutes)

Light your purple candle and say aloud with ENTHUSIASM:

"I call upon Jupiter, the great expander, bringer of abundance and good fortune. I invoke the energy of Sagittarius, the archer, the explorer, the seeker of truth. I am ready to expand. I am ready to explore. I am ready to learn. I am ready to believe in the impossible. The world is mine. The universe is abundant. I am limitless. And so it is."

Step 4: The Vision Quest Meditation (15 minutes)

Sagittarius is the visionary—let's access your biggest dreams.

1. Sit comfortably holding your amethyst or lapis lazuli
2. Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths
3. Visualize yourself standing on top of a mountain, able to see for miles in every direction
4. From this vantage point, you can see your ENTIRE LIFE laid out before you
5. Ask yourself: "If I could create ANYTHING, what would my life look like?"
6. Don't limit yourself. Think BIGGER than you've ever thought before.
7. See yourself:

• Where are you living? Traveling?
• What are you doing? Teaching? Creating? Exploring?
• Who are you with?
• How do you feel? Free? Abundant? Joyful?
• What impact are you making?

8. Stay in this vision for at least 10 minutes
9. When ready, open your eyes and immediately journal what you saw

Step 5: The Archer's Intention Setting (15 minutes)

Sagittarius is the archer—you must AIM your arrow.

In your journal, write 5-10 BIG, BOLD, EXPANSIVE intentions. Sagittarius doesn't do small or realistic—it does AUDACIOUS.

Use this format: "I am [big goal] by [specific timeframe]"

Examples:

• "I am traveling to 5 new countries in the next year"
• "I am earning $100K+ from my business by this time next year"
• "I am publishing my book and reaching thousands of readers"
• "I am speaking on stages and inspiring audiences"
• "I am living in [dream location] and loving my life"
• "I am mastering [skill/subject] and becoming an expert"

Read each intention aloud like you're DECLARING it to the universe. Use a confident, excited voice.

Step 6: The World Map Manifestation (10 minutes)

This is a classic Sagittarius practice for travel and expansion.

1. Take your world map or globe
2. Close your eyes and spin the globe or point randomly at the map
3. Wherever your finger lands, that's a place the universe is calling you to explore
4. Research that place—even if it seems random
5. OR, intentionally point to places you WANT to visit
6. For each location, say: "I am traveling to [place] and having amazing experiences"
7. Mark these places on your map or write them in your journal
8. Create a travel vision board with images of these destinations

Step 7: The Wisdom Seeking Ritual (15 minutes)

Sagittarius is the eternal student—what do you want to learn?

1. Make a list of 10 subjects/skills you want to learn or deepen
2. Examples: Astrology, a new language, photography, philosophy, business strategy, yoga, etc.
3. Circle the top 3 that excite you MOST
4. For each one, write ONE action you'll take within 7 days
5. Examples: "Enroll in Spanish course," "Buy philosophy book," "Sign up for yoga teacher training"
6. Place this list on your altar
7. Hold your lapis lazuli and say: "I am a seeker of truth and wisdom. Knowledge flows to me effortlessly."

Step 8: The Abundance Arrow Spell (10 minutes)

Sagittarius + Jupiter = ABUNDANCE. Let's call it in.

1. On a piece of paper, draw a large arrow pointing UP and to the RIGHT (expansion and growth)
2. Inside the arrow, write your biggest abundance goal
3. Example: "$10K months," "Dream home," "Sold-out retreats," "Bestselling book"
4. Decorate the arrow with symbols of abundance (dollar signs, stars, etc.)
5. Hold it and visualize this abundance ALREADY being yours
6. Say: "This or something better is mine. I am abundant. I am blessed. I am lucky."
7. Place the arrow on your altar pointing toward your globe/map (sending the intention out into the world)
8. Keep it there for the entire lunar cycle

Step 9: The Freedom Dance (10 minutes)

Sagittarius is FIRE and MOVEMENT. You must MOVE your body.

1. Put on uplifting, adventurous music (think: epic soundtracks, world music, upbeat songs)
2. DANCE with wild abandon
3. Move like you're FREE—no restrictions, no limitations
4. Jump, spin, reach for the sky
5. Imagine you're dancing on top of a mountain, in a foreign country, on a stage
6. Let yourself feel JOY, EXCITEMENT, POSSIBILITY
7. This isn't optional—Sagittarius demands celebration and movement

Step 10: Close the Ritual (5 minutes)

Stand with your arms stretched wide (like an archer's bow) and say:

"I am the archer. I am the explorer. I am the seeker of truth. I am expanding in all directions. I am traveling the world. I am learning and growing. I am teaching and sharing. I am abundant, blessed, and lucky. I am free. I am limitless. I am ALIVE. Thank you, Jupiter. Thank you, Sagittarius. Thank you, Universe. And so it is."

Release your arms like you're shooting an arrow into the cosmos. Your intentions are SENT.

Let your candle burn for at least 2 hours. Keep your altar active and add to your travel/learning lists throughout the cycle.

Sagittarius enthusiasm can lead to saying yes to EVERYTHING. Be expansive, but also realistic about your capacity.

Sagittarius loves to START things but can lose interest quickly. Commit to seeing at least ONE intention through to completion.

Final Thoughts: Aim for the Stars

The new moon in Sagittarius reminds us that we are meant for MORE. More adventure, more knowledge, more freedom, more abundance, more JOY. The only thing limiting you is your willingness to dream bigger.

You don't need permission to explore the world. You don't need to wait until you're "ready" to pursue your biggest dreams. You don't need to play small to make others comfortable.

This new moon, aim your arrow toward the stars. Book that ticket. Enroll in that course. Start that book. Share your wisdom. Think BIGGER than you've ever thought before.

The world is waiting for you. The universe is abundant. You are limitless.

Adventure awaits.
