SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE

Pulling the plug on a project would only cause more harm than good. You questioned the prospects for success from the get-go and the further that things progressed the more you knew it was a mistake. Unfortunately, you’ve come too far to turn back now and must see things through to the end. People are counting on you. Sometimes it’s when we’re forced to do something we don’t want to do that we become the most inventive and resourceful. It looks like things will turn out for the best – which is just as well because you’ve no intention of repeating this experience any time soon.

A rare Jupiter/Uranus conjunction on April 20th is bound to upset your normal routine. You won’t like it because you’ve gotten used to living a certain way, but at the same time, it will remove those blinders you’ve had on and prompt you to ask an important question. When did you start settling for liking the life you live rather than living the life you like? Obviously, you can’t abandon your obligations and responsibilities, but who’s to say you can’t meet them doing what you love for a living? Following your heart’s desire is a lot easier when you stop putting the cart before the horse.

Trouble with a family member is working your last nerve. You have done everything in your power to try to get this person to see reason, but they are bent on making things harder on themselves than need be. Others would have given up long ago, but the message of the Mars/Saturn conjunction in Pisces on April 10th is that people need love most when they deserve it the least. This may not do much today, but trust that it will weeks from now. What can you say? You’ve always had a soft spot for Prodigal sons (and daughters). Probably because you were once one yourself.

Usually, you’ll sound off about the latest outrage. Never one to sit on your feelings or apologize for your colorful opinions, you’re the first to let everyone know when you don’t like what’s going down. Sagittarians have never been the silent, long-suffering type. However, this week will be different. Whether it’s the realization that you’d only be throwing gasoline on the fire or that other people have much more at stake than you do, your unexpected silence speaks volumes. You never thought that not saying anything would be so powerful, but it bestows a certain kind of gravitas. It’s something to think about moving forward.

What began as filling in for a supervisor on a temporary basis has all the earmarks of a situation that’s here to stay. Nobody may have approached you with a formal offer yet but trust that it’s on its way which means you need to do some serious thinking. Is this something you truly want? What you lose in freedom you’ll gain in security and it’s hard to say no to the money you’d be making; however, there’s something to be said for returning to what you were doing before. You don’t have to answer now but keep in mind that one day you will.

It took a while to catch on, but it looks like you’re finally on the right path to success. Ironically, it was always there underfoot, but your love for journeying long distances and experiencing exotic lifestyles led you to overlook – and perhaps even to undervalue – things that were in easy reach. This led you to discount your natural strengths and talents as you struggled to try to become someone you thought you should be. Thankfully, this has all been sorted out which means that you are perfectly placed to make the most of life-changing opportunities that will materialize between March 19th and April 19th.

You’ve never believed that home is where the heart is. If anything, your personal motto is “anywhere but here.” That’s why you’re a regular on Earth Roulette, scroll through Expedia packages in your off-hours, and watch Rick Steves religiously. Yet Venus in Pisces through April 5th reveals that the things you long for may be closer than you think. This could materialize as a place you never visited before, a class you sign up for, or a new romantic interest. Whatever the reason for this re-enchantment with your daily life, you’ll soon discover that the things you said were missing have been around you all along.

Maybe this is the time to show certain people the door? You’re tired of the complaining, the arguing, and the endless finger-pointing. You’ve had your fill of ultimatums and threats to pull up stakes and leave when things don’t go their way. If someone isn’t happy with your friendship, then perhaps this person should go? If recent events have proven anything, it’s that you need to be choosier about who you pledge your fealty to. Pluto in Aquarius is pushing you to make changes in your social circle, and those decisions you thought lay further down the road suddenly look very uncomplicated and desirable.

Saying “yes” to everyone who asks you to dance doesn’t make you popular on prom night. If anything, it will piss off the person you arrived with. The same holds true for jumping at every opportunity that comes your way. The Mars/Jupiter square on February 27 shows rival companies courting you. This won’t sit well with an employer who knows you’re bored, but if you’re going to change alliances then be smart. Explore your alternatives, pick the best one, and then be upfront. You always want to end things on an up note in business nowadays. The world is too small a place to do otherwise.

Paying your dues may seem like an outdated notion, but it’s still a fact of life. There are times when we have to work hard without proper pay and are forced to make sacrifices. It seems exploitative, but there’s no denying the wealth of experience that you accrue. This is something that will be infinitely recognizable on February 24th when Venus squares Jupiter. Many people are promoted to positions before they’re ready, and this is when everyone sees that they’re untried or all show and no track record. Yours is coming at just the right time to show you off in the best light possible.
