Yep, there’s another new moon. (It’s like these things happen every two weeks or something.) On Nov. 23 at 5:57 p.m. EST., the Sun and Moon will align in fire sign Sagittarius for the first and last time this year.
The good news: this new moon isn’t an eclipse, so you can freely meditate, visualize, light a candle, journal or do any other manifestation technique that you couldn’t do during eclipse season. The not-so-good news: this 2022 Sagittarius new moon takes place on a Wednesday, and like, are you really gonna be manifesting that hard on hump day?
If you listened to this episode of my astrology podcast, then good for you. It doesn’t have anything to do with the new moon, but it’s still a great episode. Moving on.
Since Mercury and Venus are closely aligned, and retrograde Mars and Neptune are butting heads, mental restlessness, confusion about your goals and overspending (*cough* early Black Friday Deals *cough*) are practically guaranteed. Questions to ask yourself on this Sagittarius new moon: What adventurous goals do I want to chase? How can I be more like a Sagittarius (or, conversely, Cosmic Cannibal) in my life? Do I really need that air fryer? Etc.
Of course, the answer to these deep questions depend entirely on your Sun and Rising sign, so without further furor:
Your 2022 Sagittarius New Moon Horoscope
Aries ♈
Searching for truth? Lately, you’ve been desperate to expand your worldview in hopes of understanding or changing your personal beliefs. The new moon delivers an opportunity to do this via travel, grad school, or a course on Buddhism. Or it might bring an out of body experience/revelation. Either way, it’s wise to be prepared…
Taurus ♉
Any secrets you’ve been keeping from your loved ones might feel so overwhelming that you spill your guts, but divulging your deepest feelings—such as an attraction to the aliens from “Mars Attacks”—doesn’t do more than make you feel exposed. Of course, being so open might also help kickstart your personal transformation. So, your choice…
Gemini ♊
It might be that your spouse, beau or BFF feel the brunt of this lunation. Or, one of these people (maybe even an enemy) could be the harbinger of chaos that pushes you to call it quits. Yes, a relationship may rupture, but it might also be repaired or replaced with something brand spanking new…
Cancer ♋
Work affairs and your day-to-day-routine have been getting so busy that you’re ready to blow a gasket—and you may very well do this on the new moon. You might also receive a helping hand from a friendly face, which helps you keep your cool and finish all your to-do’s, even amidst all the holiday stress…
Leo ♌
If you’ve been struggling with self-esteem, romance or creativity, then this lunation will feel like a searing reminder of how fucking amazing you and your hair are, and that anyone would be lucky to be with you. Equally likely, it could present an opportunity for a new creative project which reignites your passion even further…
Virgo ♍
Your home could become the unofficial hotel for out-of-town family members that you start to wonder if maybe running away is your only option for peace and quiet. Hey, sometimes people need time away from the fam. So if an opportunity to take a solo trip arises, you’d be a fool not to take it…
Libra ♎
A writing or speaking event—such as a workshop or open mic—could inspire you to put pen to paper and start writing poems or a rap album. (Most rappers are Libras, you know.) That, or maybe you freely speak your mind in a way you’ve never before done. Third option: your day-to-day life is drastically altered…
Scorpio ♏
Have you been prioritizing other people’s needs over your own? Realizing that you’ve been giving more than you get might be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s not anything to hold against yourself. Of course, if the reverse is true (you’ve been getting more than you give), then it might be time to change…
Sagittarius ♐
This new moon, your confidence, plans for the future—even your creativity and feelings about your body—could each deflate like flat tires, or the whole engine could explode. Still, an opportunity for a new beginning or a brand new set of seemingly unachievable yet exciting goals may patch you up quicker than a Nascar pit crew…
Capricorn ♑
The end-of-year exhaustion is real and all you want to do is sleep. This would be more plausible if problems from the past weren’t keeping you awake. Facing all the feels is the only way you’ll get to sleep soundly again. Bonus: you might get a chance to work behind the scenes on a project…
Aquarius ♒
You may realize that you’re over the whole group thing and want to go Han Solo in life. Or, an opportunity to make new friends in new places may be so alluring, you can’t turn it down. Either way, the new moon sets fire to your social circle. Watch that you don’t burn any crucial bridges…
Pisces ♓
This lunation puts you in the limelight, but you may struggle embracing all the attention. One of your professional achievements—graduation, promotion, study abroad acceptance—draws attention from your boss, parents or teacher. How? Well, whatever you did (good or bad) may be publicized online or in print. You could even be interviewed for a news feature…
