We must become the change we want to see. Mahatma Gandhi 

December’s new Moon in Sagittarius falls on December 18, and, it feels like a very special sign of the times as Saturn moves out of Sagittarius and heads into Capricorn, the new Moon occurs right before the Winter Solstice (the Summer Solstice in the southern hemisphere), therefore, Saturn is conjunct this new Moon, and, this new Moon is smack on the Galactic Center. 
There’s likely to be plenty of reason for optimism and good cheer, especially as we have so many planets in Sagittarius; Mercury, Venus, Moon, Sun and Saturn all in Sagittarius. Sticking with positive thoughts about the future can see breakthroughs happening on every level. Also, Uranus, in Aries, is trining all of those planets in Sagittarius, so, creative and spiritual solutions to problems are likely to pop up, often seemingly out of nowhere. 
The really big feature of this new Moon is the fact that it is on the Galactic Center. To my way of thinking, the orb of the GC extends from Sagittarius 24+ to Sagittarius 29+, and, perhaps, even into Capricorn. 
The Galactic Center is said to be the spot where we can ‘commune with God’, connect to the Law Of Attraction, and, create, shape and mold our lives. Having said that, I do feel that every degree of the zodiac can connect us to ‘the mind of God’, it’s just that the GC of Sagittarius, and, the Super Galactic Center of late Virgo and early Libra have that capability in spades. 
So, this new Moon asks the questions: How much do you believe that we can create our own reality? How mindful are you of your thoughts, what goes through your mind, etc? What is it that you truly want. 
This new Moon conjunct the Galactic Center feels like a very powerful time. The GC moves one degree every 72 years as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. And, everyone reading this would have the GC on Sagittarius 27 in their chart. Sagittarius 27 is A SCULPTOR’S VISION IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY TAKING FORM. A couple of years ago, the GC moved from Sagittarius 27 to Sagittarius 28: A SPLENDIDLY BUILT BRIDGE, A HERITAGE OF UNKNOWN AGES, STILL SPANS THE BEAUTIFUL AND WILDLY PRIMITIVE STREAM. 
Put most simply; we are to watch our thoughts, our desires, our self-talk, etc, in order to see what we Sagittarius new Moon set for Washington DC are creating with our awareness (or – lack of awareness). And, we are to see our lives, our actions, our quests as acting like the ‘SPLENDIDLY BUILT BRIDGE.” We do well, especially when the GC is highlighted, to see our lives as ‘bridge-like’… building bridges between you and others, you and God, you and the things you desire to see in your world. And, with this new Moon, we not only have the lunation smack on the GC, we will also, in the coming days, have Venus and Mercury transit over it. So, we will do well to really tune into our hopes and dreams and wishes. 
The trick, apparently, is to have the feeling that you have already accomplished that which you desire as, Neville Goddard says it, ‘assumption hardens into fact’. If we put out the vibe that we are ‘loveless’, or ‘need more money’, we will continue to be loveless and needing more money. 
Further to the idea of making our own reality is Uranus in Aries trining all of those planets in Sagittarius. If something doesn’t have the ring of authenticity, if you don’t feel a good gut connection to whatever it is that you are thinking of doing, you might need to take a moment to think through the ramifications of how you would feel if you did do it, and, how you would feel if you don’t.

New Moon:   Dec 18, 2017   6:30 am GMT


The new Moon is on Sagittarius 27: THE SCULPTOR’S VISION IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY TAKING FORM – the following is my interpretation from my book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom

Commentary: ‘The Sculptor’s Vision’ shows an image of some desired shape or outcome, a picture that is projected out onto the world through creative work. The fact that the ‘Vision Is Slowly But Surely Taking Form’ shows that slow and sometimes painstaking detail is needed to work towards something that is truly worth the time and effort.

Oracle: You are in a situation where you are able to manipulate things or events into something of value and lasting integrity. There is the ability, or the need, to project shape and ‘Form’ onto materials or situations to have a desired outcome; to have the ‘Vision’ actually be allowed to ‘Take Form’. Who and what we are in our more private moments right through to our public lives is largely shown through the life we manifest, the reality we see before us and create. This Symbol can indicate the changing of one’s body shape or gaining or losing weight so the appearance can fit the vision that one has in mind. Whatever ‘The Vision’ is, it is ‘Surely Taking Form’, and you’ll be able to see clues to how it’s shaping up in the situation facing you. The work that needs to be done, or the desired outcome, is finally able to take shape. However, it is a good idea to observe and decide whether the ‘Form’ that you want is actually what is eventuating or in the pipeline. Attention and work on the situation at hand will ensure a final outcome of one’s objectives. Be especially careful to ask for what you truly want or need. Is the ‘Form’ that is evolving truly resonant with who you are? Concentrate on what you want and don’t deviate from the ‘Vision’ as your work could be spoilt with one wrong stroke of the brush. Follow the ‘Vision’ and be creative; picture an outcome and watch it materialize.

Keywords: Concrete creative manifestation. The Godhead. This is the Symbol of the Galactic Center. Creating the ‘Vision’. Evolution. Things going from crude beginnings all the way up to concrete outcomes. Sculptors and sculptures. Molding shapes and forms. Seeing and visualizing things ahead of their time.
