The Sagittarius New Moon (20 deg) occurs at 6:32 pm EST. It trines the Aries North Node (23 deg), squares Neptune in Pisces (24 deg) and Juno in Virgo (18 deg). 

Here is a beginning that's expansive and hopeful. It's all about potential - nothing is solid just yet but there's lots of possibility. But the square to Neptune says that potential may be distorted. What begins will be fuelled by a crisis around truth/lies or questionable ethics. This tension could cause matters to slide forward in odd ways - the lie gains momentum, you take a detour, you get discouraged. You may run out of steam and you've barely started your journey. The square to Juno (applying to an opposition with Neptune) indicates this will also be about a shaky commitment - the contract begins on a false note or is in danger of being undermined. A relationship agreement could be very misleading. 

However, the trine to the North Node suggests there is guidance to move in the right direction. This new chapter will naturally lead to something that's bold, adventurous and fuelled by passionate beliefs (Mars, ruler of the North Node, is also in Sagittarius).  Mars is applying to a trine to Chiron Rx in Aries so there's a blend of courage and compassion- actions integrated with the wound are healing. This means you make room for weaknesses, embarrassments and pain or you fight for those who are wounded.  You act from a place of empathy and courage. You carry your pain with you but it doesn't weigh you down. 

The trick will be not getting bogged down in escapism, lies or discouraging issues that drain your passion. The correct path has already been mapped out - you just need to follow it. 

The Moon also makes a quincunx to Uranus Rx in Taurus so there will be a disconnect between new potentials vs existing changes to your foundation/finances/physical state. This can create an uneven start and anxiety- you hesitate, afraid of disruption. Or, you jump ahead too quickly. This is not a major influence but it will be a underlying thread - don't allow the anxiety to trigger panic. Stick with that North Node path.
