🌑 New Moon in Sagittarius · Tuesday, December 8, 2026
Open the Door
A five-minute new moon ritual for Sagittarius season energy. All you need is a candle, a pen and paper.
What this new moon is about
The New Moon on December 8, 2026 is in Sagittarius, the sign of adventure, optimism and big-picture thinking. New moons are for beginnings, and this one is a natural moment to set wishes for the year ahead before the holiday rush begins.
Sagittarius energy is generous and future-facing. Think less about fixing what's wrong and more about what you want to grow toward.
The ritual
- Open your front door or a window, even just a crack.
- Stand in the doorway and say out loud: "New luck, come in."
- Light a candle and write three wishes for 2027, each as if it's already happening: "I am…", "I have…".
- Circle the one that excites you most and write one small step you'll take toward it this week.
- Fold the paper and tuck it somewhere safe until the Full Moon on December 23.
Best done the night of the new moon or within a day either side. Late is better than never.
Affirmation for this moon
I'm open to more good than I can imagine, and I'm ready to meet it.
Say it three times, out loud, before you blow out the candle.
Journal prompts
