Happiness Project (9) Sagittarius New Moon: Explore New Territories

Every month, I’m adding new intentions/activities for my happiness project during the new moon. Feel free to play along & set your own new monthly goals!


Sagittarius New Moon occurs on Dec 5, 2010 12:36PM EST


After Scorpio’s deep, intense focus on a chosen area, the psyche is ready to expand again, to seek and explore new horizons.  With the New Moon in Sagittarius, we can ask ourselves: “What area in my life do I feel the need to expand?    What new adventures could I embark on?”

Choose Where You Want to Grow

As we’ve cleaned out the old, dead energies during the Scorpio New Moon month, there now should be more room for growth and receiving new things.  There could literally be fortunate turn of events that will lead you to grow in a new area – an invitation to join a study group that share your passionate interest, an offer to build a new web site for your business, or a life changing seminar.

While being open to such new beginnings, you can also try to step back and look at the big picture: where do you want to be in 5 years from now?  What do you need to start doing now, in order to grow in that direction?  So while a new action is definitely implied by the Sagittarius New Moon, there is a bit of introspection involved as well.


Sample of Areas to Explore

  • Consider taking a short study course on something that you’re interested in, perhaps related to your business or a hobby.  I’ve recently made a commitment to take an online course on blogging following Donna Cunningham’s advice.  I’m looking forward to powering up this blog through this study!
  • Another strongly Sagittarian area is that of athleticism – this could mean starting a new exercise routine that seems fun, or joining a local sports group.
  • Lastly, the area involving the higher mind is also under Sagittarius’ domain: spiritual studies and practices such as meditation may become more meaningful during this time.

Many Possibilities for Growth

Approach this New Moon period like an explorer facing a whole new territory.  What new area do you wand to explore? How do you plan to grow in the direction of your dreams?  Feel free to share your thoughts & plans via emails or comments!
