New Moon in Sagittarius 28° on December 20, 2025 – Making Space for What Forms from Within

The New Moon on December 20th is in Sagittarius, a sign focused on meaning, direction, and the future. Yet, this lunar phase doesn't bring a pronounced urge for action or conquest. Quite the opposite. It invites slowing down, letting go of expectations, and a gentler way of being present with what presents itself within.

Letting go as recalibration

Sagittarius wants to move forward, but this time, it doesn't have to be through clear plans or fixed goals. What needs to be released now are old visions of the future that have become too rigid. Ideas about what life should be like that no longer allow for growth or change.

The New Moon's square with Saturn helps us distinguish what truly sustains us and what remains merely duty or habit. This letting go doesn't bring emptiness, but relief. It frees up energy. It creates breathing space.

A calmer pace as a conscious choice

This New Moon calls for less acceleration. Life doesn't need to be constantly kept at a productive rhythm. A natural need arises for simplicity, for pause, for a slower pace that allows the nervous system to calm down.

Those who respect that pace will notice that clarity doesn't disappear, but rather deepens. In silence, perspective emerges. Slowing down makes it clear what's truly important.

The nourishing power of soul work

Then, the New Moon squares Neptune, opening a field where rational answers are less prominent. This isn't a lack, but a shift. Inner and spiritual work can be particularly nourishing now: meditation, reflection, dream work, symbolism, or simply taking time to feel what lives beneath the surface.

Soul work requires presence. It connects with layers that are usually drowned out by busyness and expectations. During this period, that connection can demand attention, be restored, and deepen.

Spiritual connection without escape

This moon phase invites spiritual attunement that remains grounded. Not as an escape from reality, but as a way to better bear it. Neptune soothes, opens, and reminds us of coherence, while Saturn helps integrate that experience into daily life.

Spiritual connection thus becomes a silent source of strength and confidence.

Winter Solstice and Inner Integration

The winter solstice on December 21st marks the transition from darkness to light. Combined with this New Moon, a natural moment of integration arises. Looking back on the past six or twelve months can be done in a simple and honest way.

What nourished you?

What took energy?

What may be gently released?

Capricorn season supports this process by giving structure to what has crystallized internally. This creates direction from inner clarity.

Trust in the unformed

This New Moon reminds us that not everything needs to be immediately visible or identifiable. What still feels vague holds potential. By creating space, slowing down, and connecting with the deeper layers of your own being, a new orientation will naturally emerge.

Not loud, not spectacular, but firmly anchored in what is really true.

Enjoy this peaceful atmosphere and happy holidays!
