What would happen if I didn't make traumas my lead core own identity? What is the best that could happen if I rewrite my trauma stories?
The Influence of Jupiter in Taurus
This New Moon in Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter in Taurus, which adds a groundedness of minding our thoughts with mindfulness and ensuring we put our energy into what fulfills us. Jupiter moves slowly during the New Moon and asks us to watch how we move through disappointments and delays. Remember, delays and disappointments do not mean denial.
Embracing Black Joy with Sagittarius’ New Moon
Jupiter rules Sagittarius and elements of dry heat and fire; Sagittarius brings us the message to own your Black joy; heat it up! Where do you need to add some spice to your joy? Kleaver Cruz of the Black Joy Project says, “Black joy is not dismissing or creating an ''alternate'' black narrative that ignores the realities of our collective pain; instead, it is about holding the pain and injustice…in tension with the joy we experience. It's about using that joy as an entry into understanding the oppressive forces we navigate through as a means to imagine and create a world free of them”. This New Moon In Sagittarius positively impacts our optimism toward life and helps us gain clarity about our desires.
Navigating Dreams and Reality with Neptune in Pisces
But we do have a Neptune in Pisces that asks us if our dreams are all over the place and adds realism to our dreams with a hint of reality because this New Moon in Sagittarius will form a square with Neptune at Pisces—so, meditating and praying spiritually cleansing our heads before setting intentions so you do not set intentions with confusion and doubt.
This new Moon cycle is about embracing your true self and making life decisions that align with your soul's desires. These desires are not just fleeting wants but a deep understanding of what our energy needs for its growth in this lifetime. We can learn much about ourselves during this phase, develop trust in our higher wisdom as we envision a life full of everything we desire, and understand how to dance through our disappointments.
Embracing Personal Evolution and Growth
By acknowledging and embracing our ancestors, intergenerational traumas, and family and life disappointments healthily, we pave the way for an exciting journey of personal evolution.
And remember that along the way, as you set the intentions of your new visions, there will be people who disapprove of how you are changing and others who applaud your growth. A challenging aspect of a period of new transformation is that you cannot control other people's perceptions for their own reasons, and because of past conditioning, some may be taken off guard by your changes and may even resist them, especially if you are experimenting with boundaries, new healing modalities, making new friends, and testing out new worldviews to see which fits you best.
Self-love should not result in unhealthy ego boosts this New Moon cycle but rather lead to empathy towards others. By examining our thoughts, we gain insight into how they impact us and realize that our experiences and others experience similar emotions. The New Moon cycle in Sagittarius suggests that our actions should align with how we want to appear.
Challenges and Irritations with Mars!
Stay calm, y’all! As we work on developing authenticity within ourselves, our preferences will gradually shift, and we will seek more profound relationships with those around us.
Even though the Sagittarius New Moon says to own your joy, Mars is in the background with underlying irritations. “Don't let them folks get on your nerves.” It is about how you remain optimistic in the storms of life. That is also an excellent jural prompt. Do you have a Black Joy kit? If not, create a joy kit for when times get rough, and it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And you can use this kit as a healing resource for you.
Staying Grounded Amidst Energetic Themes
So many energetic themes are going on that it is easy to get confused. If confused, the best thing to do is breathe, Slow down, move your body, and ask the energy of the New Moon to keep you grounded and fuel your Black joy when life gets rough and tricky.
