Jupiter is now leaving Sagittarius to start its residence in Capricorn. This is a retrospective on 2019 to see what we have leapt through, and a look ahead to 2020 to see where we need to land.

It’s time to move from faith and abundance to focus and containment. Time to prioritize. There are still plenty of opportunities for growth, *if we commit to it.* Jupiter reminds us that to build the better world we dream of, this cannot be a theoretical or future goal. It must be an embodied practice in the way we live day-to-day.

The New Moon beams with possibility and positivity, reflecting the resilience we have developed and celebrating the lessons we have learned this year. Now our adventures and causes begin to funnel down from everything, and focus in on a few priorities. Sagittarius has a good instinct for what can grow if we pay attention to it.

As Mercury meets the Sun, it is illuminated by its clarity. We begin to see a crack of light through whatever has been turning over in our minds. Been having a struggly retrograde? (Lost your phone? Fighting again with your honey but not sure what it means?) Now we begin to find our way through.

Taurus is a sign that trusts itself. It is content in its abilities and delights in its potential, for it is fecund. It can birth any new life it desires. This Full Moon in Taurus is the medicine for self doubt, which is self trust.

The depth to which we are willing to descend is the height to which we can rise — an alternate reading of "as above, so below."

In Scorpio, the New Moon stirs up the internal and the internalized. Both our inner strength and power, as well as our buried feelings. This lunar cycle is a chance to cleanse ourselves from the inside out. To become more intimately acquainted with what hurts and what holds us back, in particular the societal messages we have been fed and internalized. When we are living within the confines of internalized social hierarchies, the fear of being “not enough” and not belonging are enough to keep us small. Internalized oppression is oppression at its most effective — because we then police and silence ourselves. Scorpio time is a chance to see this more clearly and to cleanse ourselves of this toxic cycle.
