Astrology: Sagittarius New Moon (December 2018)

The Moon is our water. Water directs the flow of life. It controls the currents, the weather, the soil, the atmosphere, our bodies. We are water and water is us. Without it our bodies would be dust —Ashes of potential waiting to be restored.
As the moon transits each of its faces, the water shifts. It speeds up and slows down, warms up and cools off — it’s constantly moving, flowing with no destination or purpose.

The sign that the planets are in will determine the personality of this energy. But no matter what the energy will be positive and reassuring. Conjunctions are the most favorable of all aspects. They represent unity, peace, manifestation, and abundance.
