Moon phase on December 8, 1961
The Moon was in Sagittarius all day (UTC).
Born under a new moon moon
The new moon comes when the Moon sits between Earth and Sun, so its lit side faces away from us and the sky looks dark. Traditionally it is the time to begin, but softly: to rest, imagine and name what you hope to grow. People born under a new moon are often described as instinctive starters who lead with fresh energy and may not always see where they are heading at first. If you are living through this phase, it can suit quiet planning, a clean slate and saying yes to something new.
Write three intentions on a slip of paper, each beginning with the words I am ready to. Fold the paper, keep it somewhere special and read it again when the moon is full.
The Moon in Sagittarius
With the Moon in Sagittarius, the mood lifts and widens. People often feel optimistic, restless and hungry for adventure, ideas or a change of scenery. These days suit travel, study, philosophical conversations, outdoor activities and big picture planning. Tact can slip as honesty gets blunt, so humour helps. It is a wonderful time to try something unfamiliar, sign up for a class or simply take a longer walk than usual.
