The Sagittarius New Moon arrives on December 1st, welcoming us to the last month of the year. The Sagittarius New Moon also happens to perfectly align with the Antares Gateway.
Antares is one of the four royal stars, and is known as the Heart of the Scorpion. It is believed to be the resting place for souls on their journey to the afterlife.
This makes the Sagittarius New Moon a good time to reflect on the direction of our lives and to align our heart’s desires with our actions. Here is a ritual to guide you:
Sagittarius New Moon and Antares Gateway Ritual 2024
This ritual is best done on or after November 30, 2024
You will need:
- Aura cleansing tool of choice
- Candle
- Starry Night Guided Meditation
- Piece of paper
- Mirror
- Crystal of your choosing
Directions:
1.) Light your candle and start by cleansing your aura and then your surroundings. A few pointers to remember- as you cleanse, be sure you have a window open so the dense energy can escape! Also, when cleansing your aura, don’t forget to do your front, back, and the bottom of your feet!
As you cleanse your aura, feel free to recite the following-
“I welcome the start of the lunar cycle and open my heart to the gifts of the season. I restore my energy and recharge my aura; I bring all of me back to One. I am balanced; I am renewed. I am now cleansed from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
As you cleanse your surroundings and crystal, feel free to recite the following-
“I cleanse away the heavy past; I cleanse all that has served its time. The energy of this space now aligns with the light and love that lives inside. I am whole. My space is whole. Warmth and love fill the air. May all work conducted in this space be protected and blessed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
2.)Get nice and comfortable and do the Starry Night Guided Meditation. This is a powerful releasing and heart-opening meditation that will help with the ritual that follows.
3.) Stand in front of a mirror or hold a mirror to your face. And just start by looking yourself in the eyes and saying hello to yourself. Ask yourself how you are doing. Really look into your eyes and care about what you are saying to yourself. It seems weird at first! But don’t worry, you can do it!
4.) Now, looking at your reflection, speak some words of loving-kindness and forgiveness to yourself. Here is a prompt to get you started if you need it, but the most important thing is that you speak from the heart and that you look into your eyes as you say this-
“I know you have been going through a hard time lately, and I just want you to know that I think you are doing a really great job. I know you have been feeling (enter) about (enter) but I want you to know that it’s all going to be ok. I hope you know how loved you are, and I hope you also know that I forgive you. I forgive you for all the things you wanted to do and couldn’t. I forgive you for feeling the way that you do. I forgive you for any stresses or worries, or things you feel guilty about. I just want you to know I forgive you.”
End with some words of encouragement and support towards yourself. And don’t be afraid to keep the conversation going for about 10 minutes or so, this way you can really get deeper into the work!
5.) Once done, just allow yourself to sit with any emotions that have come up for you. If you like, close your eyes and place your hand over your heart center. Take 10 deep breaths here just allowing yourself to process the work you have just done.
6.) Now, take your crystal and hold it in your non-dominant hand. Think of something new you would like to bring into your life or a direction you would like to travel in. Whisper your intention to the crystal, and then close it tightly in your hand like you are “sealing” in your wish.
If you are not using a crystal, feel free to do this same process with a precious piece of jewelry or a lucky charm.
7.) Keep the crystal by your bedside or carry it with you to remind you of your intention for as long as you like. Snuff your candle out and the ritual is complete.
Happy New Moon!
