THE "ADVENTURE" WE CALL LIFE !!!

The Sun blazes its way out of dark, brooding Scorpio and begins its joyful transit through the cheerful, optimistic and adventurous sign of Sagittarius today, 11/21, at 4:50 PM EST ... this is probably the most positive sign of the Zodiac ... in Sagittarius we need to shine for our benevolence, shine through our optimism and enthusiasm, and seek recognition for our ideals ... freedom is sought and valued on all levels - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual ... this is the sign of straightforwardness and honesty ... naturally energetic and outgoing, Sagittarius usually attains its goals through the power of positive thinking ... here we have serious thinkers concerned with the well being of mankind as well as their own lives ... often the truth is spoken very frankly and undiluted so it's best to develop a thickened skin with this energy ... there is a desire here to expand into previously undreamed of realms viscerally through experience and the excitement of adventure ... there is strong inward drive to travel far and fast either geographically and/or in thought ... the creative urge is also very strong in Sagittarius which truly can make the Holiday season "the most wonderful time of the year" !!!

Sagittarius is a mutable (flexibility), masculine fire sign ... it's glyph is the Archer's arrow ... it is ruled by the planet Jupiter whose keywords are benevolence, expansion and protective urge ... its key phrase is "I understand" and keyword is "visualization" ... anatomically it rules the hips and the thighs - and there certainly can be the tendency for a lot of "expansion" in those areas of the body especially during this season of the year, right??? ... it is the sign opposite of Gemini ...

Sagittarius is the natural ruler of the 9th house - a house of "life" whose keyword is "aspiration" ... the 9th house denotes your higher mind and the superconscious ... it relates to law, religion, science, ideals, higher learning, philosophy, psychology, profound mental study, personal dreams and visions ... it shows distant travel, foreigners, foreign dealings, commerce, big business, imports and exports ... the 9th house also represents the church - as a spiritual factor, the clergy, in-laws, grandchildren, intuition, ethics and public opinion in general ... it indicates the lessons we learn through living ...

The essence of the Sun in Sagittarius is living through seeking ... it is the adventurer ... life is seen as an opportunity ... it never really matters how hard the road ahead is because it is still a road to be travelled on and go places ... there is an intuitive grasp here of how life works - this is the "manager" of the Zodiac ... there is great power at ones disposal under this energy - if you let the proverbial "horses run wild" you might end up the victim of a big crash and torn apart ... under control and with a high target to aim at, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! ... and so the energy to be harnessed can be the following:

POSITIVE: benevolent, generous, enthusiastic, jovial, optimistic, lucky, far-sighted, positive thinker, stimulating, outspoken, colorful, open and honest, able, good judgement, honorable, mobile, expansive, carefree, vital

NEGATIVE: promises too much, excessive, over-zealous, overbearing, blind to details, jumps to conclusions, contentious, inconsiderate, tendency to exaggerate, embarrassing, boastful, moralizing, pompous, volatile, scattered, irresponsible, careless, lascivious

Sagittarian born individuals, this is your time of year to SHINE ... it's the beginning of a new Solar year for you, so you have the chance to wipe the slate clean and aim for new goals which is right up your alley!!! ... the Sun will remain in Sagittarius until December 20th/21st depending on where you live ... consider the Holiday season technically underway with the excitement of a young childs imagination shifting into high gear, and hopefully the benefit of good will towards each other ...

 

Just a reminder, Mercury is still retrograde but only until next Monday, the 26th ... so be careful about starting any new Sagittarian inspired endeavors until after November 26th  ... HOWEVER, it is an excellent time to GO BACK and learn something new especially for the next few days, study and sharpen the focus on your "personal lens" you view life through - which is one of the things Sagittarius energy is so very fond of doing !!! ... and then Mercury will join the Sun as it returns to Sagittarius for the final 10 days of the Sun's transit through Sagittarius ... that would be the time to begin to implement those scathingly brilliant ideas you've been developing and mulling over !!!

 

The beginning of Holiday shopping could prove interesting as we all get into such a light hearted spirit, but with Mercury still retrograde, and the Moon entering Aries late tomorrow as the stores begin to open their doors and remaining in Aries through early Sunday morning, but being VOID OF COURSE ALL DAY SATURDAY ... and let's not forget what else is currently in Aries ... you got it - Uranus planet of the sudden and unexpected ... so that joyful, enthusiastic shopping endeavor could prove challenging and a big headache in some cases if you don't take your sense of humor along with you ... the pushing, shoving and even altercations could be epic !!!!

 

Just keep in mind, there's always a direction in which to head, and as each journey begins with one step forward, look upward and focus on one thing that will satisfy you and keep you on track, and be true to it ... and then - like the Archer's precisely launched arrow - you will hit your intended mark!!!
