THE CENTAUR'S PRECISELY LAUNCHED ARROW !!!

The Sun blazed its way out of dark, brooding Scorpio and began its joyful transit through the cheerful, optimistic and adventurous sign of Sagittarius yesterday, 11/21, at 10:48 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 super conscious ... 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 lesson of the Sun in Sagittarius is learning to live 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 traveled 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

HAPPY SOLAR RETURN TO ALL SAGITTARIUS BORN - 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, to a point, and aim for lofty new goals which is right up your alley!!! ... the Sun remains in Sagittarius until December 21st ... consider the Holiday season technically underway with the excitement of a young child's imagination shifting into high gear, and hopefully the benefit of good will towards each other ...

Holiday shopping could prove interesting as we all get into such a light hearted spirit, but remember Venus entered its shadow point on Wednesday, 11/20, in preparation for its next retrograde journey beginning on December 21st only hours after the Sun makes its ingress into Capricorn ... might be a good idea to get as much holiday shopping in and finished as soon as possible and certainly before December 21st if at all possible ... with all the retailers scrambling to make extra sales due to one week being lost with Thanksgiving so late this year, it's any ones guess as to who will truly "profit" from the Holiday sales, and who will feel like they really got the "value" of what their hard earned money was spent on !!! ... will the person receiving the gift be grateful and appreciate the "value" of what they have been given ??? ... and just how dramatically will Uranus stationing back into direct motion in Aries the final week of the shopping season elevate the "push and shove" usually associated with the frenzy of last minute shopping ???

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 Centaur's precisely launched arrow - you will hit your intended mark!!!
