Sagittarius, The Archer
November 22 to December 22
Modality: Mutable
Element: Fire
Ruler: Jupiter
Keywords: Optimistic, adventurous, independent, restless, enthusiastic, careless
As a Sagittarius you are optimistic and enthusiastic, as well as an adventurous explorer. You enjoy searching for knowledge and truth, whether by physical travel or through books. Because you search for truth and justice, however, you can be at times too honest and forget your tact. Your ruling planet of Jupiter encourages your restless spirit, and helps you to often land on your feet.
Sagittarians are independent, which can make finding a lasting relationship a challenge, since you are adept at playing the field. You could find your soul mate later in life, or not at all; just be sure your mate understands your need for adventure. You could do well with a Gemini or another fire sign, but a relationship with a Virgo or Pisces has the potential to be difficult. Your family is near and dear to you, and though you are independent, like best to be at home and comfortable.
When it comes to careers, Sagittarians do well in service to others and enjoy a stable daily routine; once you’ve found a job that provides both, you are likely to stay put for years to come. As far as money goes, it is either feast or famine; you waver between being frugal and being extravagant, and must learn to be cautious regarding spending and saving habits.
You are interested in learning about others and, in turn, yourself.
For the year ahead:
Affirmation: The domestic scene satisfies my adventuresome spirit—at least some of the time!
- With your planetary ruler Jupiter in Gemini (your seventh house of relationships and partnerships) until the middle of June, you can anticipate luck in love and business partnerships during the first 6 months of the year. Jupiter then moves into Cancer (your eighth house); this transit has the potential to boost your bank account, but it also has the potential to increase your spending.
- Uranus continues its transit through Aries (where it will remain until 2018). This long-term transit impacts your social life, with many opportunities for friends, family, and leisure.
- Saturn transits Scorpio, your twelfth house of self-renewal. Expect to examine where you’ve come from in the past seven years, as well as where you are headed in the next seven. Are you on track? Health issues, whether for yourself or for someone close, may also be brought to the forefront.
- Pluto continues to slowly advance in Capricorn (your second house). You may experience ups and downs in income, but will generally have the potential to increase your earnings so long as you are careful with budgeting.
For those Sagittarius Ascendants out there, if you’re in your mid twenties and/or approaching 30 years of age, you’ll most likely be progressing to a Capricorn Ascendant. This means that the optimistic and care-free side that is normally shown by you will be made to trim the edges a little as you enter a more ambitious phase of your life that will hopefully see you promote your value system that is centred on a deep appreciation of the wisdom of the ages. However, this will not be without big changes to your existing value system, as Pluto in Capricorn is entering (or has already entered) your Second House, meaning before anything is promoted it has to go through a thorough re-birth process. Gain, loss and then re-building will be applicable to your financial situations, self-esteem and values of existence. Yes, stability will be shaken, but if you stay true to your natal Sagittarius optimism, then peace and calmness with a deeper inner strength will return increasingly over the next 10 years!
