Trusting in the process is key to your excavating success with this new moon.
Finally, Jupiter, the planet of luck, opportunity, and expansion, rules Sagittarius and will trine with Black Moon Lilith. Lilith is the celestial point in the birth charts that represents breaking boundaries, rebellion, and facing all that has been buried within the persona. With Jupiter and Lilith working together, you'll receive that essential edge, primal passion, and equilibrium in moving forward. Show up and embrace your wild self — the odds are in your favor during this lunar event. With these two celestial bodies combined in the earth signs of Taurus and Virgo, you'll have a steady footing in starting your endeavors.
