New Moon in Sagittarius – December 19, 2025

We're in for a beautiful, optimistic fresh start in the middle of the month with the New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign full of vitality, enthusiasm, and adventurous energy, and with both the Sun and Moon in this sign, we're set up for joyful, cheerful vibes.

This New Moon brings a fresh wave of courage to expand our horizons, set goals, and create a new vision for ourselves. Astrologically speaking, this is an excellent time to set intentions for both the next month and the next year. Sagittarius thinks big, so while you'll want to keep your intentions somewhat realistic, enjoy dreaming on a grand scale about what you want to accomplish and create in 2026. In short, let yourself get a little delulu with your dreams; just stay aware that you're doing it!

On December 19th, the Moon will be conjunct Venus and Mars while square Saturn and Neptune (both in Pisces). Here's what that means: There's something new on the horizon. You can feel it. You may not know how it's going to happen, but it's there. You may be wondering if this is something you can actually do, and this New Moon is here to tell you, yes, you can.

You're closing out an old story and tying off an old thread while simultaneously opening the door to something new. In fact, this New Moon is a perfect time to choose your word or essence for 2026, acknowledge how far you've come, and make big, soul-driven plans for the New Year.

We'll step into Capricorn season on December 21st, and we'll still be feeling this New Moon energy then, too. Capricorn's talent for structure and hard work may bring clarity to your New Moon intentions, so set them on the 19th knowing that you'll start getting clarity on the "how" in just a couple of days. Mars will also be in Capricorn as of December 6th, which will help keep you grounded and focused.

One of the most beautiful gifts of this New Moon is the optimism and hope that comes with Sagittarius. Even if this year has been challenging or you've gone through hard times, there's still hope. Look forward to six months from now, when the Moon will be full in the same sign. Who do you want to be by then? Sagittarius will help you envision who you can grow and bloom into.

Here's Your Horoscope for the New Moon in Sagittarius

Aries: Your sense of adventure is piqued with the New Moon. Start planning a long-distance trip or finally sit down and register for that new class you’ve been thinking about, whether it’s a dance class or a certification to advance your career.

Taurus: The New Moon will highlight your areas of shared resources and intimacy. Maybe you just had a change in your relationship status (Is “Santa” bringing a sparkly accessory for a certain finger?) or a shift in your connections, and you’re wanting to go deeper. Remember, intimacy isn’t just for romantic relationships. How can you be a better friend and/or open yourself up to better friendships?

Gemini: Your partnerships are in focus this week, and you’re feeling more motivated than ever to make soul connections. Your love life is likely to shift in response to this. If you’re single or looking for a romantic relationship, sparks may start flying around the New Moon.

Cancer: Set intentions around your physical and mental health. Assess your daily rhythms. Are they still supporting you? If not, refine what needs to be refined and drop what’s no longer needed. Your partnerships might also require more energy over the next several weeks, so make sure you’re taking care of yourself, too!

Leo: This is a delicious New Moon for you, as it highlights the pleasurable parts of your life. Allow yourself to focus on having fun without worrying about what other people think. Get creative and start a new artsy project. Go ahead and paint the ceiling of your dining room that new color you’ve been considering, or jump into your soft era with a coloring book and cozy blanket.

Virgo: Your intellect and logic are strengths, but too much of a good thing is still too much. Now’s the time to tap back into your emotions. Reclaim some of the quietness or softness you may have set aside over the past few months. You’re also likely to feel a sense of wanting to clear things out of your space. Take your time and do it with joy.

Libra: This New Moon is inviting you to reassess your mindset. Have you been harsh with yourself lately? It’s time to hit the reset button and use your voice for yourself and others. Speak your intentions aloud this month and repeat them often. At work, it’s a great time for pitching new projects or something daring.

Scorpio: This is a time of new beginnings for both your self-worth and your finances. Look at how you spend your money and energy, and make sure you’re paid what you’re worth. Chances are, you’ve been underpaid, or you’ve been over-giving lately, and it’s time to come back into alignment.

Sagittarius: Happy New Moon! It’s time to rewrite your story for the upcoming year. Use the Snake Year energy to shed the last bit of yourself that you’ve outgrown so you can step into the new version of you. How will you approach the year with a sense of unapologetic authenticity and adventurousness?

Capricorn: This New Moon is an invitation to surrender some of your control, not in an unsafe way, but in a nurturing one. What have you been holding onto too tightly? Release the grip a bit. What inner stories need to be rewritten? Get to editing!

Aquarius: You’re thinking big picture these days, and it’s showing up in your social networks and your soul’s purpose. Your friend group may be shifting, and the Moon is encouraging you to step into the spotlight more this coming year. Get ready to attract more soul-aligned people into your community.

Pisces: Your career path is suddenly becoming clearer. It’s a great time to take a big leap into a new job or industry. The New Moon is supporting your public image and leadership skills this month, so take up more space and shine!

Happy New Moon, witches. I hope it’s a truly magickal one!
