The Sagittarius New Moon for Setting the Tone for 2026 With Vision, Truth, + Expansion
The Sagittarius New Moon rises in the sky on December 19, 2025 at 8:43pm EST, closing out the calendar year. While all new moons invite fresh beginnings, this one IS extra potent. It’s the final New Moon of 2025 and this energy is calling for us to pause, zoom out, + get honest (REAL HONEST, babes) about where you are headed. This is not about forcing resolutions or locking in plans (tbh I’m more a fan of doing that with the spring equinox), but choosing direction, meaning, + the energy you want to carry into 2026.
Sag energy is expansive, visionary, + future focused so this new moon invites you to dream bigger, question old beliefs, and aim your arrow toward what feels true, even if the path is not fully clear yet. You are meant to explore, grow, + follow what calls you forward.
What You May Feel Energetically
Sagittarius is a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth, wisdom, + expansion. When the new moon falls here, the energy shifts away from the small picture + zooms out toward meaning, belief, + possibility.
In the days surrounding this New Moon, you may notice restlessness or a desire for change (no pressure here; small changes count too). Big ideas may surface without clear steps yet (write them down!). You might feel drawn to learning, reading, spiritual study, or future planning.
This is mental and spiritual energy more than emotional energy. It is less about feelings + more about direction, does that make sense??
Setting Intentions With This New Moon
New moons are not about instant clarity or immediate results. They are about planting seeds, especially during this dark part of the year.
With this energy, instead of asking what you want right now, try asking what you want to grow into. What direction feels aligned. What truth you are ready to live by. What belief you are ready to release.
A powerful journaling prompt for this moon is simple but revealing:
If you were not afraid of failing or succeeding, if there was no judgment + you were guaranteed success, what would you do? Where would your heart lead you?
Your answer does not need to be grand or dramatic. Often our deepest desires are quiet + simple. This question opens doors + shifts your mindset from limitation to possibility; don’t be surprised it your journaling leads you back to your childhood dreams, desires, + hobbies.
How to Work With This Energy
Sag energy rewards honesty, curiosity, + openness + unfolds over time rather than through force.
SUCH a beautiful moment to think about expansion in all forms. New experiences. New learning. New perspectives. New ways of seeing yourself + your life.
Locate the areas of your life that feel small, stuck, or stifled. Ask for guidance to create more space. You do not need the full plan; only need the willingness to aim your intentions + vision in a new direction.
Ritual Ideas
1. Set a vision, not a checklist
Instead of rigid goals, write intentions that focus on where you are headed + who you are becoming. Sagittarius energy cares more about direction than outcomes (while it’s a fire sign, this area allows you to lean more into your watery side), so let your intentions speak to growth, meaning, + values rather than timelines.
2. Journal your truth, not your to do list
Ask yourself what beliefs you are ready to release, where you want your life to expand, + what story you want to live into next. Let the answers be honest + messy. This is about truth, not perfection.
3. Feed your mind something inspiring
Sagittarius thrives on learning + perspective. Read a few pages of something that lights you up, study a topic you have been curious about, or listen to a podcast that stretches the way you see the world. Curiosity is the ritual + exposure to new ideas is how we grow.
4. Work with fire intentionally
Light a candle + visualize your future self living with clarity, freedom, + purpose. Fire helps Sagittarius energy move from idea into belief. As the flame burns, imagine your vision becoming steady + real.
5. Move your body under open space
Take a walk, stretch near a window, or spend a few minutes under the sky (if it’s warm enough by you). Sag lives in motion + wide horizons. Movement helps the vision settle into your body and brings surprising clarity.
A Sagittarius New Moon Diffuser blend
This blend supports vision, optimism, courage, + grounded intention setting.
Sagittarius New Moon Essential Oil Blend
3 drops Peace and Calming (helps ground intentions while bringing a sense of calm)
2 drops Frankincense (supports reflection and higher perspective)
2 drops Orange (encourages optimism + forward vision)
1 drop Ginger (ignites courage and inspired action)
*Adjust + double or triple depending on your diffuser size.
I also HIGHLY recommend diffusing Envision during journaling or vision work. It blends orange, tangerine, frankincense, patchouli, + rose and pairs perfectly with big picture thinking + soul-led direction.
All to sayyy…
This new moon is not about having all the answers but being brave enough to ask better questions.
Loosen your grip on certainty, trust your curiosity, + aim your energy toward a horizon that feels meaningful, even if you cannot see the whole path yet.
This is a moon of faith, not force.
Growth is coming.
Love,
Suzy
