SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE

Mercury retrogrades as often seen as a vexing period of delays and postponements but for you, this Mercury retrograde will prove fortuitous in a backward way. Over the next few weeks you'll discover how – although a faulty premise sent you down the wrong path – it was for the right reasons; or that your frowned upon decision to pull the plug on a popular project will wind up being vindicated in the end. Obviously it would have been nice to have known all of this beforehand, but it wouldn't have made any sense. Some things – like Mercury retrogrades – have to be experienced for yourself.

Hopefully you enjoyed playing Spin the Bottle as a kid because that's what your love life will feel like for the next seven years. You'll have a hard time making heads or tails of who's coming and who's going. For most zodiac signs this would be unwelcome news, but you could really get into it. That's because people born under sign of the Centaur value their freedom, but don't want to be lonely either. A variety of lovers or an on-again, off-again liaison may be exactly what's needed to give you the space you need, the adventure you seek, and the colorful company you desire.

If Sagittarius is good at anything, it's climbing back on that horse they've been thrown from it. Admittedly, it may have taken longer than usual but it looks you've got the hang of things now. Not only do you have a firm grip on the reins, you also know what direction you want to go in. This is wonderful news as the current alignment of Stars are urging you to heed your hopes rather than fears. The only thing to watch out for is being overdrawn at the goodwill bank. Fortunately it's something you can remedy by paying back some of those rainchecks you bounced.

The Sun conjunct Ruling Planet Jupiter on June 24th should portend good things except that it's tied up in something you regret doing. Whether it’s a cobbled together lie, a heavy conscience, or a guilty secret you're going to have to sit down and think about what it means to remain silent. You were born under a moral sign. You may play at happy-go-lucky, but you believe that good begets good. It may feel you're risking it all by coming clean with the truth, but you couldn't live with yourself if you didn't. Put your faith in doing right and right will do right by you.

The worst thing you can do is push back. Not only are you in a vulnerable position, but you could get overruled all together. Mars in your solar midheaven for seven weeks promises to put you through the paces. You'll be fielding demands from every direction and doing what you can to keep up. And that’s the thing you need to focus on – you may have years of experience and oodles of talent but the only thing anyone’s interested in is whether you’re a team player. It's time to show them that you’re as good-humored and adaptable as your happy-go-lucky sign purports to be.

Emotions are loud and opinions colorful when there's a Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11th. People may not like it, but that's their problem because you are being true to what you feel in the moment. You're apt to be more expressive than receptive which means that anyone who wants to talk about their feelings is going to have to crank up the volume. Admittedly there is a tendency to take up all the oxygen in the room when the Moon is full in your sign yet it can be said unequivocally that there is no Full Moon more uplifting when spirits are down.

On June 8th Mercury conjoins Ruling Planet Jupiter at the 29th degree of Gemini. This is when you finally get the answer you've been searching for. Ordinarily this would be a good thing because it's the green light that signals you can proceed to the next level, but because this conjunction comes at the end of the sign it's more likely to be information that allows you to make peace with a decision you've already made. It may be bittersweet, but in the weeks to come you'll feel a smile in your heart because you know that this truly is the best outcome of all.

It's been a long time since someone questioned the way you do things so you'll need to take a deep breath when a manager or supervisor offers up some “helpful” suggestions this week. You hate being coached. It always feels like you're being made to do things someone else's way, but in truth these suggestions may be helpful. Procedures change, methods get updated, and there's always room for improvement when it comes to job performance. You get this intellectually, but your Sagittarian spirit hates being reined in. Give yourself a couple of days to absorb what's being said. You'll see for yourself it's not so bad.

Saturn in Aries shows you're up to any challenge. Saturn won't gush like a cheerleader, rather it pushes you forward by giving you no choice but to clear the hurdle to your success. People born under Sagittarius often struggle with self-discipline. Your Jupiterian side has a problem denying itself anything while your fiery nature resents any limits imposed on its freedom. This won't get you very far if you're more concerned with defending your prerogative than with pursuing your purpose. Years of dodging obstacles adds up, but Saturn in trine to your sign can help you surmount them as long as you follow its lead.

You'll be sorely tempted to walk out on your job on May 12th. The situation at work has become increasingly tense and you wonder if you have what it takes to continue. The wonderful thing about a Full Moon in Scorpio is that once you're done fantasizing about giving everyone a piece of your mind, you're ready to play nice. Yet the thing to keep in mind is if you're going to ask serious questions then you need to give some serious thought to what those answers might be. You gain nothing by walking out on a situation with no plans for what comes next.
