Journaling, Tarot & a Pinch of Magic for Courage to Outgrow Yourself

I have noticed something about myself over the years: a specific sort of biological clock that rings whenever Sagittarius season arrives. It isn’t anxiety, exactly. It isn’t unhappiness. It is a restlessness. It’s the sensation of wearing a coat that is suddenly two sizes too tight across the shoulders.

You might feel it, too. It’s a quiet awareness that something inside you has gone a bit stale. A belief you used to hold dear, perhaps a story you tell about your limitations..or a direction you have been walking in simply because it once made sense to do so.

Sagittarius doesn’t usually show up as a crisis - it shows up as a question.

And under this New Moon which arrives on 19th of December, that question sharpens into something undeniable: Where am I actually going? And do I even believe the story of why I’m going there?

If you have been feeling bored, itchy, hungry for something honest, or weirdly allergic to your own excuses, congratulations. You are ready to outgrow yourself. This ritual is not here to help you “manifest” a new car or a promotion. It is here to help you aim.

Setting the Container

We are stripping away the sterility of “steps” here. This ritual works best when it feels like a pause in the timeline, a pocket of unhurried time where you are allowed to be messy and true.

First, gather what calls to you. You will need a candle (white or gold is lovely, but fire is fire), a bowl of water..
