💫  What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the New Moon in Sagittarius 2025

As the new moon rises, Luna will square Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Pisces. This will be the last time the new moon in Sagittarius (or any mutable sign) will square both Saturn and Neptune, because these two planets will enter Aries in 2026. So, these squares will have a monumental impact on the new moon!

Squares are a point of tension, often occurring when compromise is necessary to proceed. The new moon in Sagittarius will be at odds with hazy Neptune, who rules over dreams and illusions, and Taskmaster Saturn, who associates with responsibility and authority. Neptune will cast an idealistic energy over the new moon and lunar cycle. If you're not careful, you could lose yourself to your delusions and confusion throughout the next 6 months. you could get caught up in an unhealthy coping mechanism, defer responsibility, or fail to follow through with pursuing your dreams. Thankfully, the new moon-Saturn square can mediate the Neptunian energy. Saturn will hold your feet to the fire as you enter this lunar cycle. If you wish to get something done or to fulfill a dream, Saturn asks you to take this seriously. It won’t be easy, but the blend of Saturnian and Neptunian energies will help you make the impossible possible.

🌑  Tips & Tricks to Create Your New Moon in Sagittarius Ritual

The new moon in Sagittarius can be honored through various practices, rituals, and offerings. In particular, you may want to consider doing rituals aligned with Sagittarius. Align your lunar magick with Sagittarius’ correspondences, symbols, and more to amplify your new moon ritual.

Since Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, this would be the perfect new moon to incorporate the fire element into your lunar ritual. Fire is relatively easy to create, as you can represent the element with a lit match, burning candle, or open flame. Although fire is attainable, you must be careful if you plan on starting a fire for this new moon. I strongly suggest checking out this Reddit thread on fire safety for witches before starting your lunar ritual. Fire can also be represented by its alchemical symbol, 🜂, in your spellwork.

Sagittarius’ energy can be invoked through tarot cards, animals, and deities. Major arcana cards like Temperance and the Wheel of Fortune align with Sagittarius. Temperance can call in balance, avoiding extremes, and patience. The Wheel of Fortune assists with lunar intentions for abundance, luck, and divine timing. Aside from tarot, Sagittarius can be represented by the following animals: horses, centaurs, wolves, falcons, and foxes. If you want to honor a deity that aligns with this new moon, you may feel called to make an offering to the following gods and goddesses: Dionysus, Jupiter/Zeus, Pan, Crotus/Krotos, Horus, Vishnu, Apollo, Artemis/Diana, Thor, and Fortuna/Tyche.

Additionally, you may feel called to work with herbs, crystals, and colors associated with Sagittarius. Sagittarius aligns with herbs like sage, dandelion, and burdock. Using a deep, rich purple color will raise your lunar spell’s vibration. Crystals aligned with Sagittarius can also enhance your lunar intentions. You could even take it one step further by incorporating an archer or Jupiter’s symbol in your lunar ritual to honor Sagittarius in your intentions and magick.
