Sagittarius is, after all, a free-spirited and adventurous sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, abundance, and expansion. As Budd explains, Venus (which relates to love and relationships) and Mercury (which relates to communication and information) both being in Sagittarius could bring some impact to the relationship front—and potentially in a beneficial way. Plus there could be “some favorable manifesting potential for intentions or opportunities related to art/beauty, money, or possessions,” she adds. And if you’re working with any intentions related to spirituality, education, yoga, meditation, and/or philosophy, according to Budd, this new moon will also greatly work in your favor. And as the AstroTwins previously wrote for mbg, Sagittarius new moons are all about adventure, fire, the unknown, and wildness. To that end, Budd explains, Sag new moons are an extra-potent time for setting intentions or preparing for anything related to travel, learning, educational goals, spiritual adventures, other cultures, philosophical expansion, and exploration in general. Due to Mercury’s involvement, it’s also a favorable time for setting or recommitting to goals related to teaching, speaking, writing, and communication, Budd adds. For a ritual to work with your intentions, astrology expert Imani Quinn tells mbg she recommends doing some candle magic on the new moon and leading up to the full moon. Candle magic is fitting under a fire sign moon, and as you do it, “Use that candle, watch how it burns, and see how it’s sending you messages about those intentions and manifestations,” Quinn says. Here’s our full guide to new moon rituals for more inspiration.
