The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 11, 2015, emphasizes our drive for personal independence in relationships and motivates us to act on our convictions. We are fast on the emotional trigger because this New Moon harmonizes with both electric Uranus and enterprising Mars. Although the stress has been building for a while, the pent-up tensions are released suddenly. It’s no surprise that lightning strikes during a storm, though we never know in advance exactly when or where it will hit.

This New Moon is also influenced by a smooth trine between sensual Venus and surreal Neptune, coloring our perceptions and blurring fact with fiction. Instead of seeing things as they are, we see what our hearts desire. Our vivid dreams can inspire us to reach for the stars, but disappointment is possible if we mix up our hopes with reality. Nevertheless, we’re still eager to take a risk to break out of a boring rut any way we can.

Aries Horoscope (March 21 – April 19)

Restlessly spinning your wheels does nothing to soothe your impatience. You’re ready to start a new project even if complications arise before you shift into second gear. The fiery Sagittarius New Moon invigorates your 9th House of Adventure, giving you the green light to go ahead. Unfortunately, demands on your time may prohibit you from making much progress. Don’t misinterpret the situation; a dense fog is not a reason to turn back. Put all your senses on alert and if it’s safe, continue driving toward your goals. Confidence is your key to success.

Taurus Horoscope (April 20 – May 20)

You’re drawn to explore unfamiliar issues that don’t normally concern you. You grow excited about venturing into the mysteries of the mind, investigating new ideas as the philosophical Sagittarius New Moon conjures up intrigue in your 8th House of Transformation. Unfortunately, metaphysical interests pull you away from more practical concerns. However, you won’t have to sacrifice real world efforts because you can simultaneously operate in both realms. Journeying to the most amazing places might not require going anywhere at all.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – June 20)

You imagine that people are expecting too much from you. The cheerful Sagittarius New Moon rattles your 7th House of Partners, indicating your need to be seen in the most positive light by others. Seek ways to improve a significant relationship by taking it in a new direction; your willingness to become a better version of yourself initiates powerful personal growth. Delving deeper into your own psyche produces surprising results. Although it’s tempting to scatter your energy, concentrate your attention on what matters most if you want to be taken seriously.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – July 22)

You believe you can eliminate old habits with a snap of your fingers. The truth is that wellness begins with acting on the simplest lifestyle decisions. The optimistic Sagittarius New Moon emphasizes your 6th House of Health, reminding you how easy it is to improve your diet by eliminating foods that offer empty calories with little nourishment value. In fact, just moderating your consumption of alcohol or sugar creates a positive difference. It’s wiser to make small modifications that last rather than radically changing everything for a few days, only to have you settle back into a familiar routine as soon as you’re given the chance.

Leo Horoscope (July 23 – Aug. 22)

You might not be able to contain your energy these days, especially if you’re stuck at a desk in an office. Fortunately, you could ease your anxiety by participating in sports, even as an engaged spectator. You can temporarily forget about your current responsibilities while being totally absorbed in the heat of the competition, while the fiery Sagittarius New Moon activates your 5th House of Fun and Games. Strenuous physical activity may have the most measurable positive results, but nearly anything that encourages you to be spontaneous is healthy.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

A strong yearning to retreat into your past can distract you from the present moment. However, you’re motivated to recover a memory that has particular relevance while the open-minded Sagittarius New Moon illuminates your 4th House of Roots. Unfortunately, your thoughts might be so vague that you wind up frustrated rather than comforted. Although looking in the rear-view mirror sounds appealing, focusing your intentions on the possibilities of the future is ultimately more constructive.

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Rambling philosophical discussions with close friends or associates take your mind off more serious problems. The feisty Sagittarius New Moon stimulates your 3rd House of Communication, creating an “anything goes” atmosphere in your interactions with others. Unfortunately, these high-spirited conversations won’t necessarily change anything right away. Nevertheless, verbal banter can enrich your life, inspiring you to establish ambitious goals and then do whatever it takes to achieve them. Camaraderie is lovely, but you will still need to put in plenty of hard work to reach your destination.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You may question the value of your contribution to a project at work as the excessive Sagittarius New Moon exaggerates the potential of your 2nd House of Self-Esteem. You might feel so overconfident about being successful one moment that you reach out too far and throw yourself off balance. However, maintaining your equilibrium is the surest way to lift your spirits and empower you to stretch a little further. You’re wise not to over-commit your resources; small steps forward are better than none at all.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

You’re over the Moon with enthusiasm, even if you don’t have any special plans on your calendar. You’re cruising for excitement while the adventurous Sagittarius New Moon buzzes your 1st House of Self. However, it may be easier to conjure up an innovative idea than to turn it into tangible results. Thankfully, you can increase your chances of getting what you need if you don’t automatically assume you deserve it. A little self-control goes a long way, especially when combined with a dash of humility and a splash of grace.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

You’re uncharacteristically eager to rush blindly into a new project before you know all the details. Nevertheless, you’re probably missing pertinent facts while the exuberant Sagittarius New Moon stirs up mischief in your 12th House of Secrets. There’s no need to make any life-changing decisions; in fact, intentionally slowing down your progress buys you more time to consider all the alternatives before making your next move. Although your impatience is driving you crazy, slow and steady really does win the race.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

You’re irrepressibly excited about your plans for the rest of the year as the visionary Sagittarius New Moon wires your 11th House of Groups. The thought of making memories with friends and family emboldens you to fill your calendar with even more activities. However, you could grow so busy that you end up exhausted from all of the fun. Don’t blame your bad decisions on anyone else if you discover you bit off more than you can chew. Pare back your social schedule before it’s too late; a stitch in time saves nine.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 19 – March 20)

New career trajectories are opening up for you, revealing the possibility of altering your life path. However, you might be struggling to let go of old dreams as the current ones grow in significance. The aspiring Sagittarius New Moon transforms your perspective of your 10th House of Status, showing you where you are blocked in your current professional development. But don’t mistake a changed course of action for a shortcut. No matter how bright the future looks, your determination will make the difference between failure and success.
