Sagittarius

SAGITTARIUS

Retrace your steps for a wonderful rediscovery

Explore the bond

Renegotiate your love terms

Go the distance this birthday cycle, Sag. It may seem you are off to a slow start. But rush and you’ll miss all the scenery between where you are and where you want to get to. Or simply have to go back to the beginning and plan a fresh route.

There are three reasons for this. The first is that the new Moon in your sign (1^st), appears under a Mercury retrograde (also in your sign). The second is that ruler Jupiter is also retrograde in your 7^th. The third – Mars begins its own long drawn out retrograde in your 9^th of travel and all-things Sag-related from the 6^th. This will last until the New Year. All these elements combine to may this a slow journey. But see the journey as a goal or experience in itself. And watch how you discover magic you might have missed along the way if you had hurried.

Sometimes a little back-tracking leads to wonderful re-discoveries. When we begin a birthday cycle under major retrograde weather, this can be a metaphor for the upcoming year for us. We go back to move forward again. Do keep this in mind in 2025. Look back to old loves (possibly what or where as opposed to who). Aspects of your past or past elements that still hold joy and meaning for you. Travelling back to places you have visited in the past may feature. And if so, you’ll see them with fresh eyes. Retaking that path not taken in terms of a goal. Reviving an old project or dream.

The past can also come looking for you. Even if you’re not seeking it out. Anyone from friends to old bosses or co-workers. Yes, that that ex falls under this. And with Jupiter in your 7^th right up until mid-year, partnership matters and lasting, long term love offer your main areas of exploration and satisfaction. Use the new Moon in particular to re-imagine what love now needs to look like for you. Whether you are single or settled. Be honest with yourself. Remember – this is YOUR grand design if you are single. Or an opportunity to dream anew with your significant other if settled. It simply has to work for you – and them. It doesn’t have to conform to what society tells you the ‘perfect’ relationship should look like. That’s the key to getting the love you need, Sag.

Love right now – please keep that on hold. Why? Really simple Astro 101: Mercury is your love planet. But doesn’t Venus rule love? Yes, it does. And enters your 3^rd where it strikes up an conversation with Pluto on the 7^th. Same day as the Sun in your sign opposes Jupiter in your 7^th. But don’t rush especially if that deal on the table is around any kind of partnership, Sag. You always need one eye on Mercury due to the fact Mercury rules Gemini and your 7^th. So, this is why when Mercury is retrograde, especially in either your own sign or opposite number Gemini, we tell you not to throw your heart along with your hat into the relationship ring.

Don’t worry if you defer for now. Ahead of you – plans will come to fruition in 2025. Partners and collaborators will feature. And if you are seeking them or even that romantic connection, take it that pursuing a plan, project or idea will see you cross paths at some point. No other action required other than you taking whatever steps you can to go directly to your dream. No matter the distance.

The 15^th could highlight one particular connection which craves your attention. This brings a full Moon in your 7^th. And also marks the day Mercury moves ahead again. But keep in mind that it will not clear post-shadow until Jan 1. Again, this is about a past or present connection. Leave the new for now, Sag. But you CAN and should gather up all your double act and dynamic duo lessons to date, and use them to either craft a solution or new deal with someone going ahead – or to envision what real togetherness look like for your future.

Don’t simply focus on romantic unions or your spouse. With Jupiter in your 7^th, there’s so many other different forms that dance partner can take. That activity buddy, trainer, coach, mentor, agent, employer or collaborator. They can have two legs or four. Think Tsaheylu in Avatar. It’s about the connection and where this takes you. But do continue to keep in mind, the energy which surrounds you is slow paced. No instant gratification action, Sag. Not if long haul loving or results are your goal.

Slow burn discoveries and explorations will last until April. December hands you three days when you can escape the retroactive influences however. Redeliveries, second chances and on the 26^th even a ‘Three times the charm’ moment. The 4^th sees Mercury oppose Jupiter for the second time. This can see something move ahead. But it will stop again. The 6^th – 8^th offer more impulsion. And a deal could begin to crystallise or something takes form thanks to the Sun and Mercury conjunct in your sign. And first Venus and then Ceres conjunct Pluto in your 3^rd. But take it a door to progress opens. And then closes again. Just be content to cruise on into the holidays if so. There’s nothing you can do to push things. And again, if you do, you’ll miss what’s right in front of you.

The 21^st brings the equinox as the Sun exits your sign for Capricorn and your 2^nd. The energy shifts from you, to earning and gaining what meets those needs. And finances your yearning for new experiences. Again, watch for something that completes around the 26^th. Or a clear way ahead to be shown to you just prior to the rare ‘Black’ new Moon in Capricorn on the 30^th.

December has handed us not one, but two new Moons. The second new Moon in a given month/sign is always known as a ‘Black’ Moon. It is also the first new Moon to appear in here since Pluto departed for good last month. And it offers the biggest financial reboot or ability to build on that worth that you’ve experienced since 2008. Next year Saturn, ruler of Capricorn and your financial planet, will move on into Aries and your 5^th house. This new Moon is a real money maker. But asks you take a focussed and structured approach to earning it. And saving it. The future promise is that if you set this up now – you’ll get to have more fun in how you make it – and potentially how you spend it in 2025. Bank on it, Sag.

In a nutshell: The full Moon in Gemini highlights a past, present or potential partnership. You and your opposite number agree on what’s most important to you both. Something you’ve been waiting on since October, adds to your holiday mood.
