The upcoming new Moon takes place in the expansive realm of Sagittarius. Ruled by fire and Jupiter, Sagittarius embodies the spirit of the eternal student, philosopher, and adventurer.

Sagittarius sparks a fire within us to explore our horizons, broaden our perspectives, and find meaning in our every experience.
