Your New Moon in Sagittarius Moonscope December 20 2025

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see –

Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody

The new moon in Sagittarius – sign of the philosopher/explorer, hands all of us a fresh vision to aim for. It expands our desire to know more, learn more and experience more. Opens our eyes and our minds. Broadens our horizons and shows us the immense possibilities that exist outside of what we know. Most likely just outside that comfort zone.

That can be a big step for some. But you’ll never know unless you go there. And sometimes it’s just one small step we need to take. The new moon will square Neptune in Pisces. This is escapism vs. a new direction. Are we running towards something or simply running away? Under a big picture thinking, don’t fence me in new moon in Sagittarius, we do need to know the difference. Having a direction means charting a course and knowing our destination. Escapism is about anywhere but here.

Sagittarius is the eternal optimist of the zodiac. The old show business saying ‘It’ll be alright on the night’ is very Sagittarian. Usually it is. But it’s important to keep in mind that in show business there are rehearsals. And all involved have a clear outcome in mind. Sagittarius expands and bigs up because it is ruled by Jupiter. But that vision can become so board it lacks focus. The down-side of the new moon/Neptune square can be seen in the card of the Seven of Cups in the Tarot. So many cups. So many choices. But which one is that Holy Grail and which is just an empty vessel or illusion? Also this card warns against scattering your energy or wanting ‘it all’. One big goal, one destination, one shining star to aim for is the key here if we want to make it real. Find yours and take that first, critical step towards it under this new moon.

ARIES

This is the new moon under which to fire up those 2026 resolutions and ambitions. And hit the ground running, Aries. Don’t wait for the turn of the year. Or for the next new moon in your 10^th. That running start puts you ahead of the game. And yes, time to bring your best one.

This is a late new moon in Sagittarius. So, check your chart for factors at the final degrees of Aries. 28-29^o. If you have them, the new moon will trine them. But do watch for that sneaky Neptune square. Neptune is poised to return to your sign in January. So, its asking you what you still need to release or realise before it reappears? Or simply need to crystallise in your own mind.

This expansive and slightly wild new moon asks you do be a little more daring. To aim higher or for something bigger. In Sagittarius and your 9^th this is about big dreams and going further. Asking yourself what else is ‘out there’? Especially if your other question recently has been ‘Is that it?!’.

New concepts, ways of looking at the world and people appear under this new moon/Neptune square. To either validate you and the path you have chosen. Or to challenge and potentially offer up that course-correction. It can also trigger a dissatisfaction with your current status or situation. If so, re-read the intro about the difference between running to or from something. But initiate something under this new moon that stretches you. Broadens your mind or opens you up to new ways of thinking. Above all, that moon/Neptune square is all about that self-belief, Aries. Knowing you can is often the most important step we take into something bigger.

TAURUS

Your soul yearns for sweet fulfilment, Taurus. By the time the new moon appears in your 8^th of dynamic change, you probably already know what forms this needs to take. But there’s only one person who can make it happen. You know who.

This new moon with its square to Neptune is coaxing you out of those old familiar ways of doing things. Or even nudging you past those fears which may be holding you back. Especially around the status quo. Your ability to maintain that is admirable. But you do now need to look at whether this is actually doing you any good. There is a huge difference between stability and being stuck.

Radical and far-reaching changes to the way you live your life can be set in motion under this new moon. And in case you are already objecting because the timing is ‘off’ I would remind you that once you make up your mind to do something, there is no force in the cosmos which can make you change it back. So, simply coming to the realisation that this is what you need to do or undertake, actually is sufficient for now. You can go embrace the festive spirit without upsetting the sleigh. But you now know once it is over, your mind is made up.

This is a wonderful new moon under which to look at intimacy and trust. And it also favours financial planning. Especially joint financial goals with your partner. Other Taureans just can’t help casting a magnetic aura others find simply compellingly irresistible. That’s all that desire for sweet fulfilment bubbling to the surface, Taurus. Watch who or what responds.

GEMINI

Just what is it you want, Gemini? Or should I say who with a new moon in your 7^th house. This is not just about the ‘relating’ element of your 7^th house. But the new moon’s tight square to Neptune is a reminder to you that whatever it is you do want – you need to go out and get it. No sitting on that couch waiting for it to come to you.

This all begins with ‘relating’ to your needs in a new way. Once you understand what you need and why you want it, then it simply gets so much easier to show up and relate better to others. You get yourself better. You now get them too. The moons square to Neptune is myth-busting or cuts through delusion. For instance, it stops projection or you making excuses for someone. That too comes under relating better. And yes, simply knowing yourself and understanding your needs, leads to you making smart choices for your heart.

This isn’t just your house of partnerships, but your house of life and all it has to offer you. Which is why this new moon may not be simply about a current or potential partnership. It could just as easily involve your relationship to a non-partnership goal or plan. See everything you entangle your energy with or direct it towards, as a relationship. And then watch how it flourishes in a different way.

Neptune in your 10^th will have handed you some challenges over the past few years. Especially when it comes to your career, ambitions, rewards, what you wish to achieve and your path in life. This is now almost over. And if you’ve been waiting to exhale, this is the new moon under which to do so. And if you are still not moving – know you are missing out on a new love and life experience. Now you know what to do, Gemini. Get up and go.

CANCER

By all means create systems, schedules, get organised, methodical and refine all the existing methods you currently employ that come under any of the above under the new moon in your 6^th. But with its square to Neptune in your 9^th keep in mind – ‘Too much analysis leads to paralysis’. As does clinging to those outdated routines and unhealthy habits.

This new moon appears just one day before the Solstice. When the Sun enters Capricorn and your 7^th house. Bringing with it not just Yuletide, but your annual partnership peak. Isn’t this reason enough to focus on making things flow smoothly? Procrastination is paralysis. Telling yourself you want a better job but not updating your CV is paralysis. Then of course, there’s the paralysis of the soul. In your house of health and the holy trinity of mind, body, spirit – the paralysis of feeling life is a treadmill and you are stuck going nowhere. There’s creative paralysis which happens when we have a great idea – but over-work it to be point it looses its zesty originality. Or even the paralysis of excuses because you need to set new priorities. And the paralysis of resentment which occurs when we’re overwhelmed but don’t ask for help.

So, whatever that paralysis is – from actually getting around to that guilt-ridden To Do list to delegating what needs to be done – time to unfreeze yourself. Act or ask, Cancer. And be systematic and practical about it. This new moon hits the pause button that has frozen an area of your daily life for far too long. But if you’ve been running around doing more than your fair share at work, home or in your everyday life recently – it may be time to press pause. That’s not paralysis. That’s a recharge.

LEO

Do check your chart for late Leo factors. At 28-29 degrees. This is your seasonal sparkle new moon. But if you just happen to have natal chart factors which trine it – then you are in for an extra serving of magical glitter and lunar lustre.

The new moon will square Neptune in your 8^th house. Whatever fantasy or Christmas movie rom-com you are channelling – it can’t just be all tinsel and fairy lights. It does have to have substance. The moment when the fantasy needs to get real on some level. This new moon sparks creativity, celebrations, love, self-expression, childlike wonder and romance. You should be feeling as radiant as those Christmas lights, Leo. The new moon switches them on.

It’s natural for your desire to be seen, heard, adored and appreciated to peak with this new moon. The new moon in your 5^th equals the new moon in your sign for its sheer capacity to unleash your self-exuberance, playful nature, and see you literally shine like the brightest star in the sky. However, that narky Neptune square may also show you anything that is literally dampening your spirits. Or sowing those seeds of self-doubt.

Sagittarius is the sign whose task is to follow their truth. You were born under the sign of Leo because yours is to follow your heart. A new moon in Sagittarius means that your ruler the Sun is intertwined with the ruler of your intuition (Cancer and your 12^th of secrets), – conjunct in the sign that seeks the truth. Your heart is now pointing you in the direction of the truth. Follow it. The truth around love, how you express yourself, a dream you have and as this is your house of attraction – what you receive. The Neptune square simply shows you if you’re living in a fantasy. Or living the dream.

VIRGO

This mutable new moon in your 4^th is all tangled up with the kind of love you want to come home to, Virgo. Is home a place, a person, even a community, or a feeling? It is as much about those needs – physical, material and emotional as it is where you live, your family, roots and lifestyle. And due to its square to Neptune in your 7^th – your partner or even that vacant space you feel is in your life that you would like someone to move into.

Are you receiving the emotional support and security you need? This is the new moon under which your thoughts turn to what creates that feeling of foundation and belonging. The timing of this new moon always means many of you will be home or going home for Christmas. But equally, you’re looking at home-truths around family, where you live and exactly where you feel love resides. This is the new moon that can trigger either thoughts of moving back – or moving somewhere else entirely. And if you do make that promise to yourself to be somewhere else entirely this time next year, this new moon seals it.

When you are in the right place – or with the right people, you feel in partnership with life. Find your no place or even the no people like yours, Virgo. Without guilt or even seasonal sentimentality attached. This moon puts you in a festive, homecoming state of mind. Even if this goes hand-in-hand with making plans to move. You’ll know if love has moved in, moved out or you need to move to go find it. Welcome home to understanding exactly where, what or who makes it that for you.

LIBRA

With last month’s new moon in Scorpio, you gained more confidence and cemented that self-worth. Now, with the new moon in Sagittarius and your 3^rd house, you become more outgoing, positive, optimistic and confident with all you say, share and send out.

That idea, project, plan which has been bubbling away in the background – or which you returned to under the Mercury retrograde – is now ready to be given wings and let loose. Conversations and all interactions take on a sense of openness and warmth. Your curiosity is triggered. And you instinctively ‘get’ the fact that understanding and love are are the same. We can communicate love by asking questions and really listening as well as using the ‘L’ word.

As well as ensuring others understand where you are coming from, you’re looking at subtext, non-verbal communication and what someone says vs, how they act. That body language, that contradiction, that lack of follow-through. The square the new moon makes to Neptune in your 6^th highlights any disparity. Or whether someone talks a good game but actually never brings it. The person who swears they care about you but constantly lets you down. The boss who promises that promotion which never materialises. Or anyone for whom talk is cheap – but their actions show you the real cost of listening.

This is the time for conversations with those who are transparent and candid, to be stimulated by new ideas and perspectives, to say I love you but also I’m sorry depending on the situation. The moon favours anything and everything from flirtation, sparkling banter, openness to different perspectives, dusting off your CV and making that feed sparkle with likes and comments. This is a highly social new moon. Gather your group around you, circulate, accept any invitations which come your way, for auld aquaintances to be in touch and new friendships to be made. Prepare for someone to plant the seeds of fresh ideas in your mind. By January – they’ve taken root and germinated.

SCORPIO

It’s all about the money. And it’s also about so much more, Scorpio! You may take a deep dive into the watery depths of what your emotional triggers are when it comes to what you earn, owe, spend or save.

The new moon in your money house is always time for a new budget or to rethink your relationship to your money. And whether you realise it or not – you are in one. The moon’s tense square to Neptune in your 5^th house sees you looking at those emotional needs when it comes to love, being seen, noticed, adored and recognised. And also asks what you are really buying? Or trying to?

Are you trying to buy love or self-love for instance? Do you purchase something in order to fill an emotional need? Do you attempt to ‘buy’ your way out of the obligations of friendship or relationships by giving people gifts instead of simply the gift of your presence? Do you feel you need to own certain things or earn a certain figure to get the love and attention you deserve? And when it comes to what you own – what has it bought you, really? Satisfaction, security, freedom, a means of self-expression? Or worries about repayments while the item simply lurks in your closet?

All the above are $64,000 questions. And it takes courage to answer them. This new moon brings changes around what you value, what you now see adds value to your life – and what doesn’t. And most importantly – how you value yourself. It’s not really about the money, Scorpio. But it is. The bottom line is that your inner values are what define what you receive. In terms of money, love and everything else in life. Adjust that and everything else reflects your worth.

SAGITTARIUS

Your personal new moon makes a last minute entrance – the day before the Solstice when the Sun leaves your sign. Some things are worth the wait, Sag. And this happens to be one of them. So, first things first – you ARE your brand, okay? No matter what adventure, big dream or goal you are eyeing up – you are it. Or need to become it.

That vision you hold needs to include you. That is because the new moon is in your 1^st house. Of face, look, style, appearance, title, profile and overall message. You are your own best calling card. So, whatever it is you are now setting out to achieve – embody it in some way. Mercury is now out of retro-shade in your 1^st. Feel free to adjust your settings or make changes to your appearance. Like attracts like.

Do check your chart for factors at a late degree of Sagittarius. 28-29^o. If you have anything – get ready for Sag 2.0. Potentially your most inspired rebrand yet. Again, this is all about what you embody, project and that aura. Be the thing you want to attract. Or the version of you that you dream of being.

The new moon squares Neptune in your 4^th house. How do you fit in your family dynamic? The real you that is? Are you expected to be a certain way, live a certain way, choose a certain path or even belief system because your family expects this? If it is also right for you – that’s fine. But you may find yourself questioning certain elements surrounding your roots, traditions etc. It may feel strangely adolescent if you are now older. But have you simply evolved beyond or outgrown something? This can include your current living situation which may now have to accommodate this new you. If it can’t – you’ll end up moving towards the place that allows you to be you.

Above all, this is a new moon of action. You free your daring side and make things happen. Along with that feeling of authentic renewal, comes a fresh philosophy: You create your own opportunities. Focus on fresh starts and bold moves. What enters your life is a direct result of that.

CAPRICORN

The new moon in your 12^th appears the day before the Solstice and the start of your new cycle. Because you feel poised on the cusp of new beginnings, this may see you make one final retreat into your inner temple or quiet space. You may simply choose to unplug and sit with what comes up. Or make one final check whether or not there are any loose ends or anything still to be released.

This new soul-searching new moon and its square to Neptune in your 3^rd, can deliver dreams of special significance (keep that dream journal handy), signs which serve to guide your choices for the coming year, boost your sensitivity, intuition and creativity, and also sees you approach any discussion you may need to have with empathy and care.

Going back over the past 12 months, coming to a point of understanding, closure or even forgiveness (and self-forgiveness), brings emotional and spiritual closure. Which frees you for what’s to come.

The square to Neptune is mysterious and complex. It delivers a hidden message. Which is the importance of taking time out to pay attention to your longings, dreams, what you imagine for yourself, that hunch and your creativity. There will be one definite thread you need to tug at or unravel under this new moon. To disentangle your emotions or even that pathway towards your future. Use this pause to do exactly that. New beginnings are just hours away.

AQUARIUS

You are always very comfortable with the new moon in your 11^th house. With its invitation to be your authentic self and yes, perhaps break a few rules doing so. They aren’t your rules anyway, Aquarius. This is the time when you get to write or play by your own.

Inclusivity and acceptance are part of your astro DNA. They also form part of that double helix of your value system. With the new moon’s square to Neptune in your 2^nd, expect realisations around who shares these – and where you diverge. This isn’t about being tolerant of other people’s opinions or views on the world. It’s something far more fundamental than that. You may uncover an area where you and someone else simply cannot agree to disagree. On a topic that forms part of your personal manifesto or belief system. If so, you may may not be able to ‘square’ this away.

Your goals and dreams will be reactivated by this new moon. While the Neptune square can work for you by showing you what really matters to you – the dreams that are more precious than gold in other words. It also adds a touch of imagination when it comes to stating them and going after any resources you need to bring them into being. These include people you know and meet. Because nobody does it alone. Or by being anyone other than themselves. If you are not serving authentic – how do you expect your dream to find you?

New moons offer up new beginnings and this one is no exception. Especially around your social life and networking. Between this new moon and the next one in Capricorn and your 12^th, put yourself into circulation. Above all, seek out those people, groups and gatherings where you don’t have to show up as anyone other than yourself.

PISCES

First – check your chart for Pisces factors currently in orb of ruler Neptune. Around the 28-29 degree point. If you have them – do include asteroids, asc/dsc, IC/MC, Nodes etc., then your ruler is conjunct them. And they make a square to the new moon in Sagittarius and your 10^th.

Approval, accolades, rewards and recognition as well as your public image are highlighted by this new moon. Ruler Neptune in the mix asks you if you feel you are receiving these. Or being taken seriously. It’s all about perception, Pisces. And any disconnect between how you see yourself – and how others view you. Especially with regards to bosses, people in positions of authority and/or influence (in the traditional way), your public or professional reputation, or even how your family or loved ones see you.

What this is really about is respect. Do you have it? Saturn’s transit through your sign should have taught you that you have earned this. So, now may be the time to demand you receive it.

If your present life direction or career path has not brought you the rewards you know you deserve, this new moon is the one under which to begin to make those changes. Do you feel limited, blocked or even overlooked or dismissed on some level? This new moon will highlight any shortcomings. But remind you that first you have to start to take yourself more seriously. That’s self-respect rising.

A little known fact about the new moon in your 10^th is that it can be the most karmic and path defining new moon of the year. The decisions you make under it can not only break you free of something that is no longer working, but have a long term influence on your destiny and life path. This can also include your personal life and partnerships. Your 10^th rules your relationship status and the status of your partner if you have one. If your goals for ‘26 include finding someone special, then you will approach this with a certainty and clear criteria around who or what you are looking for. Time wasters need no longer apply.

Because this new moon appears in your ‘public’ house and squares your ruler, it’s time to put yourself ‘out there’. How you are seen and perceived by others is all important. From your social media presence to how you show up in person. You are heading forward with a fresh realisation of all you have to offer, where your life has been – and most importantly, where it is going next. If you love your current direction – go for gold. If you don’t – change it. If you focus on these areas – doors open all around you in the next month. Game face on, Pisces.
