My Sagittarius Moon Journey
Alright, so today I wanted to chat a bit about a phase I went through, something I’ve been calling my “Sagittarius Moon” period. It wasn’t about astrology, not really, but that name just sort of stuck in my head because of how it felt – all about exploring and being a bit, well, out there.
It all started when I was feeling a bit stuck, you know? Like I was just treading water. I looked around and thought, “There’s got to be more than just this routine.” I didn’t have a grand plan, not at all. I just decided to start saying “yes” to things I’d normally shy away from, or things that just seemed a bit different.
So, the first thing I did was pick up a really old hobby I’d abandoned ages ago. Just dusted off the old gear. And man, was I rusty. It was almost comical how bad I was at first. I remember fumbling around, making a complete mess of things. Honestly, there were moments I nearly packed it all away again. But something kept me going. Maybe it was that Sagittarius spirit, that need to just keep trying, keep aiming for something, even if you don’t know what that “something” is.
Then, I started just reading about totally random stuff. One week it was ancient civilizations, the next it was how they build those massive container ships. No rhyme or reason to it. I just followed my curiosity wherever it led. I’d go to the library, or just browse online, not for any specific purpose, just to learn. Some of it was fascinating, some of it, I’ll admit, was a bit dry. But the act of seeking, that was the important part.
I also made an effort to talk to different people. Not just my usual circle. I’d strike up conversations in queues, or at local events I’d push myself to attend. Sometimes it was awkward, sure. But other times, I met some really interesting folks, heard stories and perspectives that really opened my eyes. It’s funny how much you can learn when you just listen.
- I tried a new type of cooking. Failed spectacularly a few times.
- I attempted to learn a few basic phrases in a language I knew nothing about. Still can barely order a coffee in it.
- I even went on a solo day trip to a nearby town I’d never bothered to visit. Got a bit lost, but found a great little cafe.
None of these things were world-changing on their own. There was no big “aha!” moment where everything suddenly clicked. It was more like a slow burn, a gradual shift in how I saw things, how I approached life. I stopped being so worried about getting things “right” or looking silly. The whole point was the trying, the exploring.
Looking back, that whole period, my “Sagittarius Moon,” it really helped me break out of that rut. I didn’t become an expert in anything new, not really. But I rediscovered a sense of wonder, a bit of that adventurous spirit. It wasn’t about achieving some grand goal, it was just about the journey, the process of pushing my own boundaries, even in small ways. And you know what? It made a real difference. I felt lighter, more optimistic. It just goes to show, sometimes you just gotta aim your arrow at the moon, even if you’re not sure you’ll hit it.
