Sagittarius

Fasten your seatbelts for the New Moon in Scorpio on Sunday, October 27, when the Sun and Moon in Scorpio will be directly opposite revolutionary Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is the planet of innovation that likes to upset the status quo. When it is placed in the earth sign of Taurus, it reconfigures finances, values, and possessions. The energy of Uranus gives us lessons about non-attachment and surrender. When the Sun and Moon are in the intense water sign of Scorpio, as they will be on October 27, deep emotions and passionate feelings also are brought to the surface to be healed.

It will be a very busy day on the Harvest Moon (Full Moon) of Friday, September 13—which you may notice is also Friday the 13th! 

In addition to the superstition associated with Friday the 13th, the planets will be forming a tense T-square in the sky (2 square angles or 3/4 of a grand cross) under this Full Moon. This portends the feeling of being at a crossroads. Or, if you don’t feel at a crossroads, you may feel you are missing a piece of information, so you cannot necessarily move forward or back. You may feel temporarily stuck.

A collection of 5 planets in the earth sign of Virgo will grace the skies at the Virgo New Moon on August 30. This rare collection of 5 planets in one sign—also squaring beneficial Jupiter while opposing spiritual Neptune—portends a collective quest for perfection with spiritual solace as the optimal solution. With manifestation-oriented Saturn and transformative Pluto also in the earth sign of Capricorn and innovative Uranus in the earth sign of Taurus at the New Moon as well, there will be a collective push for manifesting results and positive outcomes, too.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius—when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius—arrives on June 17, 2019. This day is also called the "Strawberry Moon” because June’s Full Moon is traditionally associated with the harvest of the strawberry crops.

This week we have the full special planetary aspect of Mars landing upon Jupiter.  While Mars is considered to be a cruel planet in Vedic astrology, it is actually helpful to Jupiter.  This is because in Vedic Astrology we have a system of determining the help or hindrance that one planet influencing another causes from what is known as natural planetary relationships.

This week we have Jupiter and Venus coming conjunct to the exact degree in the sign of Sagittarius.  I will discuss how these two planets interact both individually and together and what this can indicate.  I’ll also cast it in the light of the eclipse that is taking place this Sunday, January 20.

The Sagittarius New Moon on December 6, 2018, happily coincides with a number of beneficial celestial transits, which will make this a very bright time for you!

All of this happens within little more than a 24-hour period at the New Moon: 

Planetary Transits and Cosmic Interplayfor the week of Nov 18–24

The gist of the cosmic interplay this week is that of parsing out purpose from distraction.  Astrologically speaking, we have Sun joining Jupiter and Mercury in the sign of Sagittarius.  Let’s explore the specificities of this situation and how these placements lend themselves towards creating this energy.

The November Full Moon in Gemini arrives hours after the Sun moves from intense Scorpio to uplifting Sagittarius on Thursday, November 22.

Sagittarius: 

Fun, fun, fun—but what has that fun cost you in the past? Have you given up on your creativity? How does your fun cost you in ways that have hurt you or others? Has that fun cost you money even though you usually handle your resources wisely?
