We can observe the phases of the moon with the naked eye, making them among the most fascinating astronomical behaviors. Astrology finds them to be deeply rich sources of thought and interpretation. Among the 9 phases – New, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter Half, Waning Crescent, and Balsamic – the New and Full Moons capture most of the attention.
This article will look at the current New Moon in Sagittarius. It includes a “creation activity” associated with the sign of this New Moon. The idea originates from Jan Spiller’s book: New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.
New Moon – Let’s Start Something!
The Sagittarius New Moon will occur on December 19th at 28 degrees and 24 minutes. In my Eastern Standard Time zone, it will happen at 8:43 pm.
It takes 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. Just before the New Moon begins, the 3 days of the previous moon phase is the Balsamic Moon. That period is ideal for meditating, reflecting, and releasing; all in preparation for the New Moon.
The first 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon begins is the best time to initiate energy. We will explore each New Moon using Jan Spiller’s suggested actions to take advantage of this period of inspiration.
The energy of the New Moon perfectly suits embarking on a first date, exploring novel experiences, and visiting uncharted places. It’s an opportunity that unfolds each month, inviting you to synchronize your actions with the fresh beginnings. Keeping track of the New Moon allows you to deliberately engage in something new. Take the time to initiate a project aligning with the Moon’s unique energies as it travels through different signs.

New Moon in Sagittarius
During the New Moon in Sagittarius, expansion and discovery take center stage. This lunation inspires a fresh perspective, inviting you to dream bigger and embrace new horizons. It’s an ideal time to set intentions around freedom, learning, and adventure. Focus on optimism, truth-seeking, and the courage to follow your vision. Additionally, nurture curiosity and open-mindedness to attract growth and opportunity. By aligning intentions with purpose and trusting your inner compass, this New Moon supports bold beginnings. You need an inspired direction and a renewed sense of faith in the journey ahead.
This New Moon will occur at 28d24m of Sagittarius, making its Sabian symbol 29 Sagittarius. “A fat boy mowing the lawn.” Marc Edmund Jones says, “This is a symbol of the contribution of familiar experience to the refinement of selfhood, given emphasis by the full self-expenditure required for any satisfactory acceptance into a fellowship with others. Here a practical attention to the immediate needs of the individual as a member of his group is the effective evidence to the broader competency. Social incentives inevitably come to overbalance the more primitive instincts and appetites.” The key word is: PARTICIPATION.
The Numbers of This New Moon
This New Moon happens on 12/19/2025, so the number is 22, a master number, which reduces to 4. The Sagittarius New Moon, guided by the Master Number 22—which reduces to 4—invites both vision and structure. This lunation blends Sagittarius’ adventurous, truth-seeking fire with 22’s power to manifest inspired dreams into form. The vibration of 4 adds grounding, discipline, and stability, turning big ideas into lasting results. During this cycle, optimism meets practicality, and purpose transforms into a clear, achievable path. By pairing faith with focused effort, you build something enduring that reflects both your highest truth and your steady determination.
Infused with the energy of 4, this Sagittarius New Moon draws on The Emperor and Death from the tarot. It encourages establishing strong foundations (The Emperor/4) while embracing transformative endings and renewal (Death/13). Focus on releasing what no longer serves, creating structure, and aligning actions with long-term evolution. Through Sagittarius’ expansion and 4’s discipline, this lunation supports grounded opportunities and steady growth.

The Sagittarius New Moon on the 19th vibrates with the energy of the number 10, which reduces to 1. One is a symbol of new beginnings, independence, and creative power. This lunation encourages bold steps toward personal truth and freedom. Sagittarius’ fiery optimism merges with the pioneering essence of 1, igniting confidence and a renewed sense of purpose. Ultimately, this New Moon invites you to lead with courage, embrace possibility, and begin a vibrant new chapter.
New Moon in Sagittarius Wishing
I deeply appreciate the practical applications of astrology. And one gem is Jan Spiller’s book, “New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.” Spiller emphasizes that wishing is not mere idle desire but a conscious act of responsibility. To harness this energy, you must be aware of the New Moon’s timing in your time zone. Once you know it, write your wishes within 24 hours after it becomes new.
Once the New Moon’s energy is underway, it’s essential to take pen to paper. Though digital options abound, handwriting your wishes and intentions is integral to the energy ritual. Spiller advises crafting 3 to 7 wishes, depending on the New Moon and your life circumstances at the time. Aligning your statements with the New Moon’s sign when you write your intentions adds an extra layer of potency.

Wishes/Intentions
Sit down somewhere you can be comfortable, get your favorite pen, and write your wishes/intentions. Wording is very important, and Spiller suggests starting each sentence with, “I wish/want …”.
During this Sagittarius New Moon, a powerful moment for expansion and renewed vision, consider the following intentions:
I wish to embrace optimism and release limiting beliefs that restrict my growth.
I wish to strengthen self-trust through bold choices that align with my truth and higher purpose.
I want to deepen connections through honesty, adventure, and shared inspiration.
I wish to bring focus and intention to my goals, creating momentum that supports freedom and joy.
I want to cultivate a purposeful, authentic life by following my intuition and embracing new horizons with confidence.
After jotting down your wishes, find a meaningful place to keep them and revisit them periodically. Placing them in a journal or a special box by your bedside is a wonderful choice. Remember that the choice of paper and the pen you use play a role in this process. Being deliberate in every detail is key.
Happy New Moon Wishing!
