The Courage to Want More - A Sagittarius New Moon

The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives with a wild, hopeful heartbeat.

This lunation doesn’t ask you to have all the answers. It asks you to be honest about your longing.

It invites you to notice where you’ve settled. Where you’ve played small. Where you’ve postponed your own becoming.

Because here’s the truth: wanting more doesn’t mean rejecting what is—it means trusting that growth is still possible.

It means daring to dream again. To stretch beyond the stories you've inherited. To believe in your future, even before you can see it.

If you’re feeling that tug—that ache for something freer, truer, more aligned—you’re not alone. This Sagittarius New Moon is for the seekers, the soul-travelers, and the wild-hearted ones who know deep down: You’re allowed to want more.

More joy.

More depth.

More truth.

More of you.

A Moment for Soulful Reflection

This lunation invites you to expand—beyond old limits, beyond the shoulds, and beyond the versions of yourself you’ve outgrown.

Sagittarius energy is fiery, future-facing, and deeply philosophical. It’s the archetype of the explorer, the student, the truth-seeker. And right now, it’s whispering (or shouting): "You were made for more than survival. You were made to seek meaning."

So take a moment and ask:

What do I truly want from this life?
What brings me joy, curiosity, and a sense of adventure?
Where have I outgrown the version of myself I’ve been protecting?

These questions aren’t here to overwhelm you. They’re here to open doors.

And you don’t need to answer them all today—just start by listening.

Setting Intentions Under This Sagittarius New Moon

This is a powerful time to set intentions around expansion—whether through:

Learning: Are there teachings, courses, or ideas calling you?
Spiritual growth: Could you deepen your practices or explore new paths?
Travel: Is there a physical or inner journey you’re ready to begin?
Perspective shifts: What beliefs or narratives are prepared to evolve?

Let your intentions be guided not by pressure, but by possibility.

You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to be willing to believe in something better—something bigger—than your current circumstances.

From Wild Moon Healing Revolution 🌙

“The Sagittarius New Moon asks you to plant the seeds of optimism. When you create your intention under this New Moon, try to include space by leaving painful parts of your past behind so you can visualize a better future. The past is the past; you can’t live there—and trying to do so will only diminish your present and your becoming.”

This New Moon doesn’t ask you to deny your reality—it asks you to imagine beyond it.

Let that land.

Because Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, is all about faith and vision. It teaches us that hope isn’t naive—it’s revolutionary. Especially when things feel hard. Especially when we feel stuck.

So don’t focus only on what is. Give yourself permission to believe in what could be.

Spiritual Practices to Support You

This lunation is ideal for:

Journaling and self-inquiry
Meditation and breathwork
Vision boarding or future-mapping
Reading spiritual or philosophical texts
Creating rituals that center freedom, truth, and expansion

Let yourself feel into where life is asking you to grow.

Even small acts—lighting a candle with intention, speaking your truth aloud, opening a new book—can be portals to your next becoming.

✨ New Moon Reflection Prompt:

Where in my life am I ready to let go of the past to make room for possibility?

Don’t rush your answer.

Let it arrive slowly, like sunrise over a distant horizon.
