Golden Arrow New Moon st 9+ Sagittarius
November 30, 2024, 10:21pm PST, December 1, 1:21am EST, 6:21am GMT, 3:21pm AEDT
This Sagittarian New Moon has uplifting light magic and dynamism to keep us on our toes and vigilant through this first lunation since Pluto firmly entered Aquarius inaugurating a new global era of freedom and higher consciousness. Like Aquarius, Sagittarius, the Archer, is also a freedom-loving sign, ready to aim its gold-tipped arrow into the future. A question to start with: how do you imagine the world changing by the end of Pluto’s Aquarian passage in 2044? We may need to create our vision in smaller time-frames, using the esoteric Sagittarian motto, “I see a goal; I reach that goal and then I see another.”
Here is the link to the New Moon video I recorded with Honey Golden, that amplifies what I share here. We had a funny little blip in the beginning as I was trying to remind her to let me screen share. Imagine I am sending some of this golden star dust your way!
We have been experiencing various versions of this dynamic pattern— a grand cross in the four signs of mutability, changeability and flexibility:
Saturn in Pisces (water), dissolves old realities in the fluid nature of the influx of plasma light wves uplifting consciousness;
Jupiter, ruler of this lunation in Sagittarius (fire), asks us to keep open-minded and curious re new information, opportunities and experiences which challenge our belief systems;
Kuiper Belt Object ORCUS in VIrgo (earth), (see below);
with the Sun/Moon now occupying the changing 4th corner in Sagittarius (fire). On the last , 11/1 New Moon, Venus filled in this 4th corner; on the last Full Moon, Mercury was positioned here— and still is, retrograde now, alongside with the New Moon.
Mercury is retrograde in Sag from November 25 to the Full Moon on December 15, spanning from 6-20 degrees. Take note of any astrological factors you have in this territory. May of you born with slow-moving Uranus, Neptune or Pluto will be reviewing your life trajectory. All of us will be reviewing our belief systems, as Jupiter in Gemini encourages us to be open-minded in considering new information coming our way in huge surges in this next month and well into next year.
Mercury retrograde gives us a much-needed few weeks to re-think, take stock and rearrange our perspective in the higher-mind, fresh air of Pluto in Aquarius. Turning inward can heighten our intuitive capacity; learn to trust yours. Mercury’s retrograde extends our peak engagement with this ongoing grand cross through the current Truth-Seeking lunation, from now until the next New Moon on December 30 and into 2025.
This ride is a bit tricky, even rather wild, to navigate. Make it an adventure.
ORCUS, Etruscan Underworld God, leads us through Plutonian shadows, urging us to let go of beliefs that bind us to old patterns and outmoded auto-reactivity in our lives. Aligned with the themes of Oath-Making and Oath-Breaking, I want to share the first stanzas of a powerful poem by Anglo-Irish poet David Whyte who writes in relation to "the conversational nature of reality," a very Virgoan phrase and poem to honor the sign Orcus now occupies, inviting us into a deeper soul intimacy with Nature. Follow the link to read the whole provoccative poem.
“All the true vows
are secret vows
the ones we speak out loud
are the ones we break.
“There is only one life
you can call your own
and a thousand others
you can call by any name you want.
“Hold to the truth you make
every day with your own body,
don't turn your face away.
“Hold to your own truth
at the center of the image
you were born with.
This pattern involves all the fire signs, encouraging motivation, courage, creativity and innovation. The New Moon trines the North Node/Dragon Head in Aries, our collective leading edge, lit up to sparkling potentials by Salacia, Queen of the Cosmic Seas, sending in plasma light waves of quantum consciousness.
Mars in Leo, about to turn retrograde, accompanies Varuna, ancient Vedic God of Universal Law. This grand trine informs and inspires the aim of our Sagittarian arrow, influenced by the higher consciousness frequencies shimmering in our solar field.
Mercury in a positive trine to Chiron opens fresh neural pathways in brain and perceptions leading to new initiatives and experience. It is also in a dynamic square with Neptune in Pisces, calling for a retake on our collective “Big Dreaming,” again encouraging us to envision what we want for our future in this new era. Shedding any Neptunian/Piscean tendency to anxiety, paranoia, illusion, confusion or delusion, we raise our frequency and follow that golden arrow into a lighter, brighter vision!
Some last commentary on another significant planetary dynamic— a harmonious earth trine between Uranus in Taurus and a Venus/Ceres conjunction in Capricorn coordinating to manifest new systems, particularly related to global financial wellbeing, but also on other levels that benefit people and support the common good. In October, Venus in Scorpio was opposite Uranus, suggesting a revolution in the financial realm. The current lunation sees the outcome playing out more obviously. Ceres is Earth Mother Gaia who feeds the people, body and soul. In Capricorn since early 2024, Ceres has been advocating for improved food production, health and well-being for all life on Earth. Ceres and Venus then move together into Aquarius, conjuncting Pluto on December 7-8. This is quite a significant shift, in the works for this past year (Ceres in Capricorn) and likely coming to some level of obvious and meaningful fruition shortly. Venus/Pluto on its own suggests reevaluation and transformation of the global financial system. Ceres brings in the theme of the abundance of Nature and the Common Good.
ALSO next weekend, half way to the Full Moon, two other significant planetary changes take place:
December 6— Mars turns retrograde at 5+ Leo, returning to Cancer in early January 2025. Mars is retrograde every other year. Note the area in your chart between 17 Cancer and 6 Leo, which will be geting a workkout and a ‘re-do’. Deeply consider how your want your life to change and what you want to create both for your own growth and as a contribution to your community. This is part of the vision we are imagining now. Make it personal, from your heart and soul.
Mars turns forward in late February and returns to Leo in April, returning to its retrograde degree at the end that month.
The question of what you want to be doing, what your energy is getting excited by, may take this long to answer, as we continue to feel our way into this New Era and witness all the changes that will offer new possibilities and opportunities.
December 7— Neptune turns direct, starting to move the collective “Big Dream’ forward. Neptune shifts into Aries !!! at the end of March on an Aries partial Solar Eclipse. Can you imagine that? Does our collective dreaming erupt in fireworks or Star Fire? A new path emerges. Whether this is THE Solar Flash some people are talking about, it seems to me it is at least a Pre-Flash of note!
Never a dull moment these days!
Yes, The Times They Are A-Changing!
And we each have a role in transforming our world into New Earth.
Are you willing to rise to this exciting challenge?

Thank you Kelley , it certainally is a tad ultra tricky atm ,... as challenging as it i will try the adventure perspective - Good call 👍🤗 🐳
Kelley, as always is a superb soothsayer and truthseer and ties in all the old trusted tapestries of archetypes to new concepts: crosses, squares, trines, and conjunctions for us to understand 'Our Place' in the new Plutonian/Aquarian Age.
