New Moon in Sagittarius: Hagar and the ability to see God
This month explore your relationship with travel, wisdom, philosophy, higher education, religion, cross-cultural relations, learning, and ethics.
Sagittarius energy is adventurous, philosophical, and freedom-loving. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, this mutable fire sign is associated with optimism, curiosity, and the desire for exploration. Sagittarius is the seeker of truth, always on a quest for knowledge. It thrives on adventure, loves to travel, and cherishes independence. Sagittarius energy encourages us to expand our horizons, question beliefs, and embrace the joy of discovery. It’s also playful and enthusiastic, bringing lightheartedness to even the heaviest of topics. This energy asks us to dream big and live boldly, while also reminding us to remain grounded in our values and relationships.
Hagar’s journey into the wilderness, both when fleeing Sarai and later when she is sent away with her son, embodies Sagittarius’ themes of resilience, survival, and faith. Hagar encounters God in the wilderness, where she names God El Roi ("the God who sees me"). Her story reflects Sagittarius' connection to expansive understanding, seeking hope even in isolation, and trusting in divine provision.
In terms of personality traits, each sign exhibits positives and negatives. It’s important to be aware of both, and to notice what you want to emphasize and what energy you can focus on in this season.
