New View ~> New Moon 0º Sagittarius @ 12:32gmt

The Sun moves into Sagittarius today, Saturday, with a New Moon in the sign of the centaur, advocating we make the most of the creative spark during this last fire sign month in the year of the Wood Horse. Sun and Moon are with Goddess Venus, helping to raise the cosmic love vibration and general back-slapping bonhomie. But be aware how ‘The Lights’ are also conjunct prudent Saturn, suggesting a cautious kind of optimism is called for, also that we need to cultivate tact, patience and tolerance, especially when dealing with long-term travel plans, business expansion and religious differences.
 
The Archer encourages positive progress, urging one to open the mind, think big and aim high. Saturn is soon to enter this philosophical sign: from the end of December, and for the next couple of years, the spheres which are increasingly important to grow general overall happiness are through faith and hope and, perhaps most importantly, by being kind and willing to understand those who don’t appear to have the same beliefs as us. In the words of His Holiness, Dalai Lama "In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher." Its worth bearing in mind how the enemy needn't be external, but internal with our faults and delusions.

Ultimately, Sagittarius teaches us that we inhabit a big wide world, full of wonder and joy; and it is our experience within this sphere that gives life its most profound and perceptive meaning. _/\_
