With the Sagittarius New Moon arriving at 12:32a PST on December 13th, 2012, it is a wonderful time to embrace the truth that has been (and continues to be) revealed to you, awakening you to what moves you forward in life. Making effort is one necessary thing. Being conscious of who you are being in your life or certain areas of your life is the other. That full consciousness – that self-awareness – helps you determine where your efforts are best applied.
In this time of the Sagittarius New Moon, it is a time for growth and expansion into new beginnings, but more than that, it is time to move into those new beginnings with honesty and integrity about who you are as a being and who you are choosing to be in your life. This requires that you not only get clear about who you really and truly are, what you intend to create, and where you intend to go. It also requires you to look at what has held you back and what you need to do in order to overcome it so you can move forward with your intentions.
Some of us intend to move forward in our lives to achieve success in certain areas of our lives or maybe in life in general, but we can’t seem to get off the ground. Some of us achieve a great level of success only to have that success fall apart – sometimes again and again. These apparent failures can discourage us and have us give up on our dreams and goals.
We often see our failures as negatives, and out of our fears of repeating the same mistakes, we don’t allow ourselves to move forward. We put a brick (or in some cases, bricks) up in order to protect ourselves from experiencing more hurt when we try again the next time.
But what we often don’t recognize is that sometimes our failures happen to help us recognize what stands in our way, not to put more in our way.
What is standing in our way is usually a wall of our own creation generated by the bricks of our past experiences. Something “bad” happened before when we went after our dream, so we believe it will happen again. And out of the fear of it happening again, we actually end up bringing about what we didn’t want to have happen….because we never went back to address the root issue. We simply created new plans and intentions without cleaning up the mess from before and understanding how that mess happened, and tried to move forward.
But you can’t move forward if you don’t tear down the brick wall you’ve been putting up in front of you to keep the past from hurting you again. You’ll just keep running yourself into that wall…until you choose take it down.
Now I understand that this may be some pretty heavy subject matter for some of you, especially in the face of the optimistic and positive energy Sagittarius, and of course, the holidays. Yet that is exactly why now may be the perfect time to share (or get started by facing up to) the truth of who you are and what you truly want to have grow, expand, and find genuine happiness in your life!
As we are each and all surrounded by this optimistic Sagittarius energy of opening up and out, even if it seems terrifying to do so, taking down those bricks and getting honest with yourself and others about yourself and others could be the best thing for you right now. What better time to do that than with the people closest to you during the holiday season?
Of course, with all of this truth opening up for everyone in this Sagittarius New Moon phase, you may find that truth comes to you before you get to it. It may have already starting arriving on Tuesday the 11th with Sagittarius Mercury squaring Pisces Neptune – an influence that may have had Truth clashing with your ideals or fantasies.
Recognize what those truths – both the ones you reveal and the ones revealed to you – are opening up in your consciousness. Notice which dreams and ideals are being confronted right now. See what knowledge and wisdom is being revealed to you in what appears to be negative. It’s not to say that you won’t be frustrated or upset in the process, or that you can’t be. It is to say that there really is always a positive to the negative, even if we don’t see it as first.
That’s the beauty of the New Moon. It doesn’t reflect the Sun’s Light, so we often don’t see what gifts are being given to us right away. That’s why it is important to remind yourself that no matter what comes to Light during this Sagittarius New Moon phase, it’s exactly what you need to know to learn and grow, and it really is for the highest good of all involved for you to hear and know it now.
This Sagittarius New Moon gives you and all of us the opportunity to move beyond the walls we’ve put up and start forward into the great wide open of life where we have freedom to grow and expand into our truth, and therefore, our True happiness.
I hope you’ll embrace the energy available to you in these next couple of days. Don’t be afraid. It’s only freedom. Once you start growing into it, you’ll be okay.
As always, thanks for reading and sharing. Until next post…
~Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
