A mood of exploration
The new moon in Sagittarius opens a period of searching. For Leo, this may mean feeling like trying a new hobby, a course or a journey to a place you do not yet know. It is not about big decisions, but about small trial steps that feed your curiosity.
Saturn and Neptune become direct again, and this may help you look at arrangements and dreams with more realism. This is not a disappointment, but a way of choosing what is truly achievable. A Leo who is realistic often radiates more confidence.
An example: for years you have wished to take a painting course. This week you could book a trial lesson without committing yourself straight away. In this way you can feel what it is like, and the choice remains in your hands.
Love and longing
For partners, this week may be about sharing wishes for the coming months. What would you like to experience together during the festive season and afterwards? Write down three ideas and choose one that appeals to you both. This gives a feeling of being on the way together.
For those who are single, this week may be a time to be visible at activities that interest you. A workshop, a walking club or a lecture series can put you in contact with people who share your passion. Let yourself be surprised by whom you meet.
Friendships may also grow warmer this week. Organise a small gathering, such as an evening of board games or a snack and a film. Generosity does not need to be large to make a difference.
Work and looking ahead
At work, this week may be about planning the next quarter. Put your ideas on paper and consider what is realistic. It helps to choose small milestones that you can recognise after a few weeks.
For students, this may be a week to formulate a learning goal for the coming period. Choose one skill you wish to improve and plan a short practice session each week. In this way growth becomes visible without feeling overwhelming.
For those looking for work, this week may be about exploring new sectors. Read an article or follow a webinar that makes you curious. This may open an unexpected door to a direction you had not considered.
Wellbeing during the winter months
Leo's wellbeing may benefit this week from a healthy rhythm of moving and resting. The short days can lower energy, so try to be in daylight as much as possible during the day. A walk at the end of the afternoon can support your mood and sleep.
Pay attention to warm, simple meals and enough water. It is also a good moment to choose a fixed bedtime and keep to it as well as you can. This is general care for yourself.
Social connection is just as important. A phone call or a coffee with a friend can give you energy that you cannot get from an app.
The new moon in Sagittarius
On 9 December at 01:52 Dutch time, there is a new moon in Sagittarius. This is a moment to choose an intention that makes room for exploration. For Leo, this may mean wanting to walk a new path without losing your old friends or habits.
The moon is in its waxing phase after the new moon and becomes more visible in the days that follow. This may be a symbol of growing ideas. Write down what you would like to try and which step you can take this week.
Use this new moon as an invitation to patience. Plans that start small can grow later. Trust your own pace.
