SAGITTARIUS SEASON 2024!
Happy Sagittarius season! The Sun entered the 9th sign today, Thursday November 21st 2024, at 11:56am Pacific Time. This year, Sagittarius season will last until December 21st, which marks the winter solstice and thus the beginning of Capricorn season.
Immediately after entering Sagittarius, the Sun forms a stimulating sextile with Pluto at 0 degrees of Aquarius. Appropriately, trailblazing Sagittarius is fearlessly leading us into this new astrological era!
Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign, so it’s all about changing and transforming energy. It’s ruled by Jupiter, the expansive planet of abundance and generosity, humor and cheer, faith and wisdom. Jupiter wants us to act boldly and seize opportunities, especially during this season.
The symbol of Sagittarius is the centaur, or the bow and arrow that it wields. The arrow flies high and far, exploring new territory and seeing everything from a bird’s-eye view. After Scorpio’s deep emotional introspection and shadow work, Sagittarius is restless. It wants freedom and senses the vastness of the world out there, ready to explore. So we’re shifting from brave internal to external exploration, breaking out of our navel-gazing and the stuckess of Scorpio’s fixed energy.
Sagittarius is enthusiastic, adventurous, questing and pioneering. It craves risks and leaps of faith to broaden our horizons and gain experience. This sign wants us to shake up our stagnated perspectives and routines. That’s why flexible, adaptable Sagittarius is the sign of long-distance travel and exposure to other cultures. It’s also associated with beliefs, philosophy, religion and higher education. Sagittarius is about the literal and figurative journey through life. It seeks to understand big-picture patterns and the biggest questions about life’s ultimate meaning. This fire sign helps us to keep our spark of energy alive through the darkest time of year, with the buoyancy and resilience of Jupiter.
Of course, Sagittarius has a shadow side like any other sign. Its biggest risks are overextension and impulsive recklessness, as well as a brutal honesty born out of its obsession with truth. These are the pitfalls to watch out for over the coming month.
Still, Sagittarius season is a good time to meditate on hope - the belief that tomorrow can be better than today. There may be a strong temptation to try protecting ourselves with cynicism, especially right now when so many of us are struggling and fearful of the future. But Sagittarius reminds us that life is a grand adventure, that it’s all right to make mistakes, and that there’s always more to learn.
