if you've been feeling lower energy, or like things are not progressing as easily lately, know that you are not alone. this feeling is aligned with something bigger: the waning and new moon phases. and it won't last much longer. this week, after the new moon in sagittarius peaks on tuesday 12/12 at 6:31 pm est, we will enter the waxing phase of the moon cycle. with it will come new, fresh energy!
the waning and new moon phases are typically quiet times of rest and reflection. during the waning moon phase the sky is growing darker and darker, with the darkest point being the new moon. it is natural to want to retreat into your cocoon; to reflect on recent lessons/patterns, and to consider incorporating adjustments in solitude. at times, these shadowy phases can feel uncomfortable to navigate, as though you are walking in the dark with no clear destination in sight. if this is something you are experiencing, it can be helpful to remind yourself that progress is rarely a perfectly straight line. that to come fully into your light, strength, and power, a lot of thought, adjustment-making, and rest must first occur behind the scenes, in the shadows. by embracing life's ebbs and flows, and having faith that the universe is always supporting you, you can move from a place of ease and abundance rather than scarcity and fear
the firey sagittarian energy of monday and tuesday could be extra supportive for cultivating an optimistic perspective of how you want to expand your horizons in this new lunar cycle, or life in general. adventurous sagittarius can have few boundaries - it is ruled by jupiter, the planet of expansion, purpose, and luck - making this energy excellent for dreaming big, thinking outside of the box, and exploring the deeper questions of life
you could notice a subtle boost in energy once moonlight begins to build again in the waxing moon phase on wednesday 12/13, though it will likely be more noticeable by the first quarter phase (12/19). at 10:32 am est, the moon will enter capricorn. earth sign capricorn is ruled by saturn - the planet of responsibility, long-term goals, and structure - making wednesday through friday morning ideal times to hone in on the necessary work needed to reach your latest goals. whether that be career, home, or hobby-related, capricorn energy could help you excel at getting things done. get to it!
at 12:56 pm est friday afternoon the moon will shift into aquarius. with the moon in this air sign, this weekend you could feel called to partake in community-centric events, or intellectually stimulating conversation. aquarius can have a rebellious, boundary-pushing edge to it. it loves surprises and shaking things up. as a suggestion, if you feel called, you could use this to challenge the latest status quo, a limiting belief you have about yourself, or try something new. remember: growth doesn't come from always being in your comfort zone
dreamy thoughts and ethereal energy could float abound sunday afternoon with the moon in neptune-ruled pisces. you could also feel extra emotional, in your feels. from a peaceful place (perhaps a bathtub), this energy could be great for tapping into your intuition and dreaming up how you would like the week ahead to look ...or simply getting lovingly lost in the clouds. the choice is yours. have fun with it!
