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!
