The Archer’s Aim: Moon Enters Sagittarius
Monday, May 16, 2022
Grab your travel altar and snuff out those heavy Scorpio candles—the energy just shifted. At 6:50 am, the Moon officially trotted out of the deep, murky waters of Scorpio and into the fiery, expansive territory of Sagittarius.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re wading through psychic sludge for the last few days, consider this your cosmic exhale. Sagittarius is the seeker, the adventurer, and the wild-hearted philosopher of the zodiac. When the Moon moves here, our inner magic stops being about “protection and secrets” and starts being about “manifestation and movement.”
The Vibe: Wildfire and Wisdom
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This isn’t the time for subtle kitchen witchery or quiet meditation. This is “howling at the sky while planning a road trip” energy.
- The Mood: Restless, optimistic, and fiercely independent.
- The Magic: Focus on rituals involving fire, long-distance travel, or “leveling up” your craft.
- The Pitfall: Watch out for “spiritual bypass”—don’t ignore your chores just because the stars told you to go find a forest to run in.
Witchy To-Do List
To make the most of this transit, try aligning your practice with the Centaur’s bow:
- Light a Purple Candle: Purple is the color of Jupiter. Burn it to invite wisdom, psychic growth, and a bit of “good luck” into your week.
- Oracle Over Tarot: While Tarot is great for deep digging, Oracle cards often carry that broad, expansive Sagittarian message we need right now. Ask: “Where is my horizon?”
- Step Outside: Even if it’s just for ten minutes, let the wind hit your face. Sagittarius thrives on fresh air and the feeling of the unknown.
- Bay Leaf Manifestation: Write a big, bold goal on a dried bay leaf and safely burn it. Sag moon energy loves a clear target.
A Note on the Shadows
Because we are coming off the heels of some intense lunar cycles this May, the jump into Sagittarius might feel a bit jarring. You might feel a sudden urge to quit your job, buy a plane ticket, or tell someone exactly what you think of them.
Pro-tip: Speak your truth, but remember that Sagittarius’s arrow is sharp. Try not to poke anyone’s eye out while you’re being “authentic.”
Stay wild, stay curious, and keep your eyes on the stars.
Blessed be,
Moonzie
