Are you headed in the right direction?
Sag new moon may see us questioning our direction in life, since the symbol for this sign is the arrow…signaling our ability to direct our intention effectively. This is only possible if we take the road less travelled to find ourselves and what is most important to us…gifting us with a quest, a higher purpose that ignites our inspiration to serve.
Those who don’t diverge from the conveyer belt of expected life choices struggle to make their mark as they lack the selfhood to direct their arrows with clarity and self-assurance. Our true path, our ultimate direction comes from knowing ourselves. When we take time to take time apart from all external influences we can attune to our soul’s truth and our direction becomes clear.
Whereas if we look externally to others for guidance on what path to take, we end up confused, as everyone has a different opinion from the perspective of the mind. So, if you feel like your compass is off – like you’re heading in a direction that doesn’t excite you, this new moon may challenge you to confront your need for greater purpose and meaning.
Sag is the seeker, one who takes a higher road to find something greater than the mundane material existence can offer. Sagittarius is the sign of travel – both inner and outer. So, when life seems void of meaning, travel to taste new experiences that broaden our outlook and provide the distance needed to examine our choices is time well spent. In our modern culture that’s lost its way it’s not surprising that our youth culture more than ever before is travelling to foreign cultures as they question their world view.
Sagittarius invites us to seek out that which offers our soul a sense of freedom and expansion from surface level living that offers no real soul fulfilment. So, if you find yourself fantasising about the road less travelled and exotic destinations that tempt you to abandon your responsibilities or expectations of others this week know that you’re not alone! Perhaps it’s time to make travel plans…an adventure to someplace new once a year keeps us feeling truly alive as it acts as a beacon of inspiration.
The urge to travel outwardly must be balanced inwardly or we become an experience junkie and each new experience offers less fulfilment reflecting the Law of Diminishing Return, the more you have of something the less you enjoy it. Sagittarius rules higher learning, the quest for meaning through esoteric study.
Through the maps provided by esoteric science, such as astrology, Tarot, myth, archetypes and the Kabbalah we come to truly know ourselves and understand the nature of the journey we’re on. So even if no one else around us understands our reasons or passion for our quest, we remain undeterred knowing what is true for us.
Sagittarius challenges us to question our path and march to the beat of our own drum, even in the face of alienation or opposition. If we haven’t sought and found that which really inspires our soul we can embody the shadow side of Sag which is to seek more experiences and over-indulge in that which holds little meaning.
