Sun Has Entered Sagittarius


On Thursday November 21, 2013 at 10:48 pm Eastern Time, the Sun will enter Sagittarius, the Sign of the Archer and remain there until December 21st. As the Sun emerges from its time in Scorpio, we go from the shadowy depths of soul searching into a new period of optimism and exploration under Sagittarian energy. Despite the cold dark days of late autumn, we will experience a great deal of inner light and enthusiasm.

The Sunny Centaur

Aside from being known as the Archer, Sagittarius is also represented by the mythical Centaur—half man and half horse. The man, armed with his bow and arrow, aims high for his target, while the horse is ready to gallop ahead. Both sides work together with an attitude of curiosity, optimism and adventurous freedom.
Now that the Sun is visiting Sagittarius, we are all treated to the energy of the sunny Centaur. The Sun puts a spotlight on this sign’s already positive outlook, making it sparkle for all of us. While in Scorpio, many of us had our attention focused within, seeking to uncover mysteries and get to the bottom of things. Now we are ready to come out and play!
Aiming High
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the Great Benefic or Santa Claus planet—very apropos as we start to get into the holiday season. We will all start to feel a bit more jovial now and seek to share these feelings with others. Whether it’s gift giving, sharing meals or spending time together, there will be plenty of joy for all. Embrace the spirit and show your sunny side now.
Like the archer looking to hit that bull’s-eye, you might find yourself aiming high these days. The buoyant energy of this period has a certain “go for it” attitude to inspire us. Is there something (or someone) you have your eye on? Now might be a good time to take action. Even if things don’t work out as anticipated, you’ll see the silver lining in any cloud you encounter.
During this solar transit, you’ll have extra luck with Sagittarius related themes. Consider setting your sights on learning a new language, taking a class or starting a research project. If you are involved in legal issues or anything law related you would also have positive power behind you. Finally, this is an excellent time to strive for the goal of speaking your truth. Tell it like it is and Sagittarius will support you. Aim high!

Optimism and Adventure

Sagittarius is often considered the “world traveler” sign. Our mighty Centaur loves having the freedom to roam and is always ready to journey. Take a cue from his sunny spirit and chart your own course for adventure. Go traveling, even if it’s only for a quick one-day getaway. It will brighten your outlook and give you a whole new perspective on things!
If there’s no way you can manage a trip, then at the very least be an armchair traveler. Pour over vacation and travel magazines and books or watch videos. Investigate other countries and cultures or try dining at an ethnic restaurant. Make it fun!
In addition to real or virtual globe trekking, some time in nature is also a must. Do a little hiking, biking or just enjoy a nature walk. Spend some time with animals too. Let your dog romp in the park or get cozy with your cat. You might even take a trip to the zoo. Experience the joy of connecting with some of the earth’s lovely creatures.
No matter what, realize that there is no moping or sitting still while the Sun and Sagittarius are in town. You’ll be feeling happy and free, full of optimism and adventure.
Enjoy this astrological transit and let its energy inspire you!

Given that I've loved mythology ever since I was a child, I really like the symbols associated with the Sagittarius - the Centaur. It seems that the Sun's entrance in Sagittarius will bring about many interesting changes.

This is amazing. I literally felt a huge change in energy from last week to this. And the change consisted of a lot more energy, positive thoughts and optimism where as the week before and a couple of weeks before that I was a bit down and low in energy. Although I am not Sagittarius I could clearly feel the shift of energy.

It definitely is a lot more cheerful now than before! I find the Sagittarius great!

The reason nature is emphasized under the sign of Sag has to do with the fact that the centaur is half-man half-beast. This optimizes not only communication between the two but also reminds us that we ARE "animals" (albeit highly evolved ones).

Ceres and Our Inner Emotional Life

Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Cer

When You Should Get Your Birth Chart Done

Have you ever gotten your 'chart done'? In the field of astrology, a 'chart' is a representation that demonstrates the position of the planets, Sun and moon at a particular moment in time. The position of each planet, its movement and relationship with other celestial bodies can give an astrologer insight as to the influences in play at that particular time. There are 5 times in life when you should consider having a chart drawn up. When You Discover Astrology Once you discover the field of astrology, it’s a worthwhile investment to get a natal chart done. Everyone’s chart is unique because a full chart deals with not just your birth date, but the specific minute and location of your birth. Some people try to draw up their own natal charts using a website or book—and while this might give you an accurate plotting of the chart, only someone trained and experienced in astrology can truly interpret it. There is more to interpreting a chart than just reading a l

Essential Oils That are Harmful to Dogs.

On a Saturday night, a dog owner arrived home late and noticed that their dog was acting strange and did not recognize them. The owner initially thought that the dog was experiencing a night terror, but the odd behavior continued into Sunday. Upon realizing that a new diffuser had been running in the home, the owner turned it off, and the dog's condition improved on Sunday afternoon. However, the next day, the dog sitter reported that the animal was hiding under the bed and acting abnormally. The owner left work early to check on the dog and discovered that it was still disoriented and confused. The owner decided to take the dog to the emergency vet, where it was discovered that the tea tree oil used in the diffuser was toxic for dogs. Fortunately, the dog's liver was not damaged, but the animal required fluids to remove the toxins from its system. The vet and poison control specialists advised that they have seen an increase in similar cases as the use of essential oils grows
