THE FUTURE
“The conquests of science, the conquests of nations, and the conquests of territory are all indicative of the Piscean method, with its idealism, its militancy, and its separateness in all fields—religious, political and economic. But the age of synthesis, of inclusiveness and of understanding is upon us, and the new education of the Aquarian Age must begin very gently to penetrate the human aura.”
—Alice Bailey
We launch this month December 1 with a New Moon in Sagittarius, with Pluto now in the sign of Aquarius, and with a tumultuous year behind us. With 2025 signifying the year most esoteric folk feel we are well into the Age of Aquarius, it seems a good time to examine the current sign of Sagittarius and look to our future, which it rules. New Moons are a time for conceiving the future, for nurturing the seeds of where we’d like to go, be, and become. Sagittarius rules the Spiritual Journey. We journey first through the sign of Scorpio, fraught with obstacles and trying tests, battles, and overcoming egoistic passions before we can clearly see and choose our Path. The symbol of drawing back the bow and aiming the arrow is about tightening the focus along the shaft down to the point, then beyond to the goal. It is the focus and the intent which matter. On this New Moon consider where we have all been, what we have all been through, then focus on where we—as humanity, not just egos—need to go to continue the evolution of this amazing species we are.
Sagittarius rules our Highest Aspirations. This is the sign that encourages you to curb your delinquent impulses and “reach for the stars,” to extend yourself in everything that you do, but above all, Spiritual Aspiration. Sagittarius is the Spiritual Fire of Transformation, the last fire sign of the Zodiac. What most needs to be developed in this sign is self-discipline. This indicates a need to learn teamwork, cultivate silence, and accept uncomfortable people and circumstances without evasion—with the recognition that they are part of life’s lessons.
