Aries: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th is a time to branch out into new unexplored places physically, metaphysically and mentally. This is a time to think about long-term goals that you want to make some concrete plans for. Take note if you have been isolating yourself lately and try your best to break out of your own little world.

Taurus: The new moon in Sagittarius is a reminder to take chances if you want to get things done. Not everything will pan out how you want it to but there is unfortunately only one way to find out. Relationships, business deals and commitments factor into your goals in the coming six months. If you owe money or need to repay a favor, now may be the time to get that out of the way and free up some mental space.  

Gemini: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th is a good time to refresh your relationships and to review and recalibrate your connections. Have a check in and see how things are going. Set new goals. Make your intentions clear to yourself (especially) and others. This week is not a good time to try to handle everything on your own. Keep people in the loop. Secrets create complications. 

Cancer: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th is a reminder to set yourself up for success. You need to give yourself the time, space and tools to feel and function your best. Thinking that you can run on “empty” is an Achilles heel for you. 

Leo: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th is a reset button on your love life. Now is the time to clarify miscommunication and solve issues. Creativity and artistic inspiration are flowing over the next four-week period. Writer’s block clears up and confidence in your vision comes back. Matters of ego or not knowing one’s limits can require letting go or acceptance. 

Virgo: You’re getting more honest with yourself about your FOMO problem and realizing that sometimes it is, in fact, better to just stay home. Some things feel more overrated than you wished but it can also feel more liberating than disappointing. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th reminds you that your quiet time is important and enjoyable. 

Libra: You discover that familiarity can be better than the novelty of something new and shiny. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th cautions you not to flip flop between two extremes so much in life. Building on existing friendships and relationships where you’re at allows you to create closeness and cultivate a bigger picture for yourself. 

Scorpio: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th reminds you to set up new long-term goals and to use your unique powers to hone your skills. You might be setting up a new routine for learning and practicing something as you seek to go deeper into fields or topics that interest you. You might also be seeking out new avenues in which to increase your income. There is a feeling that there is more out there for you.

Sagittarius: The new moon in your sign on the 12th has you seeking a fresh start. You are ready to start over or to try something new in some capacity. This is probably one of those weeks where you are in the mood to clean out your closet or get a haircut. A change of pace will give you a different perspective and renewed energy. 

Capricorn: It’s easier to let go of parts of the past that have been weighing on you this week thanks to the new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th. Since you are more curious about the day ahead of you and the future beyond it, it’s harder to fixate on certain things that drain your energy. Old patterns no longer suit you.

Aquarius: You are thinking about what your next big project will be as the new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th sparks renewed zest for pursuing your dreams. You realize that you are not the words you say, and you are not even what others think you are. You are your actions and what you do in the world.

Pisces: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 12th makes you realize that you may be on a different path than the one you thought you would be on, but that you are also not too mad about it! You see unique opportunities here and are curious about the future. There is a less serious energy going on and it is easier to not get wrapped up in the “what ifs.” You can trust yourself.
