Before you set your intentions today with the new moon,
I want to share a thought from the philosopher Plato.
The beginning is the most important part of the work.
The new moon offers us the perfect moment to start fresh,
And the energy of this time reminds us that the first step,
However small it is,
Is the foundation of everything to come.
This new moon is in Sagittarius,
And it's a powerful time for new beginnings,
Exploration and growth.
This sign invites us to expand our horizons,
Dream big and embrace life's adventure with optimism and bravery.
I encourage you to dream beyond your current limits as you set your intentions today.
So find a really comfy position,
Preferably seated with your back straight,
But you can lie down if that feels better for you today,
And gently close your eyes.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Inhale deeply through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely,
Then exhale slowly through your mouth.
With each breath,
Allow yourself to relax more deeply and settle into the present moment.
Gently place your hands on your lap with your palms facing up.
The new moon in Sagittarius asks you to embrace the freedom that comes with exploring new ideas and new paths.
Maybe you are seeking knowledge,
Or growth,
Or new experiences.
Embrace the adventurous,
Philosophical and optimistic qualities of Sagittarius as you move forward with your intentions this month.
Take a few moments now to connect with what you want to call into your life.
Imagine your intentions as a spark of light,
A glowing ember in your hands.
This ember represents the goals,
Dreams and desires you want to see come to life in the weeks to come.
Feel the warmth and light of the ember in your hands.
Know that within it lies the potential to grow and light your path forward.
Speak your intentions aloud or silently.
Picture yourself stepping boldly towards these dreams,
With the courage and freedom that Sagittarius brings.
Trust that this ember will grow into a bright,
Guiding flame,
Illuminating your way as you take the necessary steps towards your goals.
Now bring your attention to the energy of the new moon in Sagittarius.
Face the unknown with open arms and trust in the adventure ahead.
Just like the archer who aims high and believes in the possibility of hitting the target,
This is your time to aim for your dreams with confidence.
Be courageous,
Take bold steps towards your goals and explore your limitless potential.
Visualise a soft light surrounding you.
This light represents the adventurous spirit of this new moon.
Feel it fill you with a sense of possibility,
Guiding you toward your goals.
Breathe in this light,
Feeling it energise and empower you.
Witness this light merge with the ember in your hands,
Amplifying your intention and the boundless possibilities that lie ahead.
As we near the end of this meditation,
Take a moment to express gratitude for this new moon and the fresh start it brings.
Trust that the ember you're holding will grow and illuminate your path,
Leading you to new experiences,
Wisdom and growth.
Slowly bring your awareness back to your body now.
Be aware of the space around you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Or gently stretch.
Introduce any movement that feels natural.
When you're ready,
You can open your eyes,
Carrying with you the clarity,
Expansion and courage of the Sagittarius new moon.
You may want to take a few moments now to write down your thoughts and intentions following this meditation.
As you do this,
Ask yourself,
What is one thing I can do today to move towards my goals?
What is one thing I can do today to move towards my goals?
Allow the energy of this new moon to inspire you to step boldly into the adventure ahead.
I want to thank you for joining this meditation.
I hope this new moon brings you clarity,
Adventure and the fulfilment of your deepest desires.
