🌑 New Moon in Sagittarius — December 19, 2025

28° Sagittarius | The Cancer Degree

Faith with structure. Vision with consequence.

This New Moon at 28° of Sagittarius arrives as a cancer degree — a critical threshold where something alerts us that the environment has changed. You can’t proceed unconsciously anymore. You can’t pretend not to notice what’s been revealed.

Sagittarius is the sign of conviction, belief, and meaning. And this lunation is asking one piercing question:

What do you actually believe in enough to build your future on?

This is not a casual New Moon. This is not about vague intentions or “hoping for the best.”

This is about choosing a direction you are willing to nourish, protect, and commit to — because this choice carries you forward into the next multi-decade cycle.

The Weight of This Moment

The ruler of this New Moon is Jupiter in Cancer, and this detail matters more than almost anything else.

Jupiter in Cancer does not expand recklessly.

It expands what is emotionally viable, safe, and sustaining.

So whatever you begin now:

must be nourished,
must be protected,
must have emotional integrity.

If it cannot survive care, it cannot survive growth.

At the same time, this New Moon squares Saturn and Neptune at the very end of Pisces, closing out a 36-year Saturn–Neptune cycle that began in 1989.

This is huge.

Saturn asks: What is real? What is sustainable?

Neptune asks: What is meaningful? What is sacred?

For decades, we’ve been trying to live inside one or the other:

fantasy without structure, or
structure without soul.

This New Moon says: both or nothing.

You are releasing:

beliefs that were never tested,
dreams that were never grounded,
goals that belonged to a past version of you.

And you are becoming far more serious about your future than you ever have before.

This is not pessimism.

This is maturity.

Faith, But Not Blind Faith

Sagittarius dares us to believe — but this lunation makes it clear:

only time-tested beliefs move forward.

You may feel a sobering clarity:

about where you’re headed,
about what you’re no longer willing to invest energy into,
about which dreams are real and which were coping mechanisms.

This New Moon gives us access to the middle ground:

Faith that is brave enough to dream

and disciplined enough to build.

Add to this:

Jupiter in Cancer squaring Chiron in Aries, reopening old wounds around family, belonging, and emotional safety,
the Moon just one degree from the Galactic Center,
and a quincunx to Uranus…

This is a moment where:

belief systems recalibrate,
identity shifts quietly but permanently,
and yes — the sense that something bigger than us is nudging the timeline.

Think long-term. Think legacy. Think 2026 and beyond.

🌱 How to Work This New Moon

Set few but serious intentions
Choose one direction to nourish
Release what dilutes your energy
Let belief be backed by structure
Let structure be animated by faith

Sagittarius New Moons are also excellent for:

publishing,
teaching,
media launches,
long-range planning,
declaring a philosophy you’ll live by.

Now — let’s bring this down into the body, the life, the timeline.

🌒 New Moon in Sagittarius — Rising Sign Guide

♈ Aries Rising

This New Moon activates your 9th house. Your worldview is changing — not dramatically, but definitively. You are becoming far more intentional about what you stand for and where you’re headed. Old beliefs, mentors, or life philosophies fall away. This is about choosing a path you’re willing to walk for years, not months. Commit to education, publishing, teaching, or a long-range vision that aligns with who you’re becoming.

♉ Taurus Rising

This lands in your 8th house, bringing serious realizations about shared finances, emotional entanglements, and energetic investments. You may recognize that a partnership — financial or intimate — can no longer be sustained without mutual effort and clarity. At the same time, abundance becomes available if you’re willing to be intentional. Nourish what is reciprocal. Release what drains. Wealth grows where boundaries are clear.

♊ Gemini Rising

This New Moon falls in your 7th house, marking a serious turning point in partnerships. You may move toward a commitment — or consciously away from one — but either way, this is about intention. Casual dynamics lose their appeal. You are deciding which relationships are worth nourishing into the future. Done consciously, this can attract powerful partnerships and aligned opportunities heading into 2026.

♋ Cancer Rising

This activates your 6th house, asking you to take your daily life, work, and health far more seriously. Something in your routine must change if your future goals are to be sustainable. This is about devotion — to your body, your craft, and your discipline. Small changes now have long-term consequences. Nourish habits that support the life you want to build.

♌ Leo Rising

This New Moon lights up your 5th house. Creativity, love, joy, and self-expression become serious business. You are being asked to commit to what lights you up — not as a hobby, but as a long-term pursuit. A romantic or creative chapter may either deepen or end based on whether it can be nourished. Choose passion with purpose.

♍ Virgo Rising

This lands in your 4th house, bringing clarity around home, family, and emotional foundations. You may release outdated family dynamics or beliefs you inherited rather than chose. This is about building inner safety so your outer ambitions can grow. Nourish what feels like home — physically and emotionally — and let the rest dissolve.

♎ Libra Rising

This New Moon activates your 3rd house, sharpening your voice and your message. You are becoming far more intentional about what you say, teach, and share. Old narratives fall away. New frameworks emerge. This is a powerful time for writing, speaking, teaching, or launching a message that you believe in deeply — and are willing to stand behind.

♏ Scorpio Rising

This falls in your 2nd house, shifting your relationship to money, self-worth, and resources. You may realize that certain goals or income streams no longer align with your values. This is about building wealth slowly, intentionally, and sustainably. Nourish what respects your worth. Release what costs too much energetically.

♐ Sagittarius Rising

This is your New Moon, and it is not subtle. You are closing a massive personal cycle and stepping into a new identity. Who you are becoming requires more integrity, more discipline, and more belief in yourself than ever before. This is about embodiment — living your truth, not just preaching it. Choose a direction and commit.

♑ Capricorn Rising

This activates your 12th house, marking a quiet but profound release. Old fears, subconscious beliefs, and hidden patterns dissolve. You are preparing for a major rebirth in 2026, and this New Moon asks you to rest, reflect, and surrender what you no longer need to carry. Nourish your inner world. The outer one will follow.

♒ Aquarius Rising

This New Moon lands in your 11th house, reshaping your vision for the future. Your goals, networks, and communities come into focus. You may step away from groups that no longer align, while committing more deeply to a long-term dream. This is about building a future that actually reflects your values — not just your ideals.

♓ Pisces Rising

This activates your 10th house, bringing serious career and life-direction clarity. You are being asked to take your role in the world more seriously — and to release fantasies about paths that don’t hold weight anymore. This is about building something real, visible, and enduring. Nourish the version of success you can sustain.

✨ Final Word

This New Moon is not about rushing forward.

It’s about choosing wisely.

What you nourish now becomes powerful.

What you release now creates space for the next era.

Faith is no longer abstract.

It is something you build with.

And as we stand at the edge of a historic transition — between cycles, between worlds — this lunation reminds us:

Either the new world shapes us, or we shape it.

The choice begins here. 🌑
