SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE

All’s well that ends well when Venus forms a trine to your Ruling Planet Jupiter on November 26th. Not only does this bring good fortune, but it bestows protection as well. Admittedly you've had more than your fair share of close calls in recent weeks, but a propitious aspect between benefics never fails to deliver. The only question is: where do you go from here? Thankfully you're in no hurry to answer that. If anything the next few weeks are all about weighing your options and seeing which ones appeal to you. It's been a long time since you had the freedom to do that.

Jupiter, exalted in the zodiac sign of Cancer, continues to work its magic in that part of your solar horoscope that pertains to the emotional ties that bind. It’s introducing a depth of feeling and a range of expression that you've never experienced before. It’s strange to say, but it almost doesn’t matter what happens in your romantic relationship or close friendships because you know that this wellspring of love will never go away. There are certain times in life when we grow into our talent, beauty, or when we come into our own. This is the time when you are growing into your heart.

A surprise deceleration in passion combined with an overall drop in interest is to be expected when Ruling Planet Jupiter turns retrograde in the zodiac sign of Cancer on November 11th. Yet this pause in the action could lead to deeper reflection on what you're looking for in a relationship. You’ll be asking big philosophical questions about why you are together and this is good because there’s got to be more to being with someone than fulfilling the recommended daily requirement of wants and needs. Expect things to be in flux over the next four months as you explore ideas you wouldn't typically explore.

Mars will be in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius from November 4th to December 15th. Mars acts like an energy boost to the system and you will feel more galvanized and motivated than you have in weeks. It’s exactly what’s needed to clear those hurdles and get yourself back on the road to happiness. Mars energy can also be touchy by making you irascible and unintentionally provocative. A good general rule of thumb for the next few weeks is that if you’re going to say something that you think could be taken the wrong way then don't say it. You don’t need the extra aggravation.

Pay attention to any nagging thoughts you have when Mercury sextiles Pluto on October 30th. It may be a question that isn't easily answered, a stubborn doubt that won't go away, or an inconsistency in someone's story that just doesn't sit right. You'll want to wave it all away – especially now that Mercury's in Sagittarius – but don't. The only way to resolve this kind of uncertainty is by doing some painstaking research. It may be tedious and slow but what you wind up with will be worth the extra work. Not only does it avert a disaster, but you'll be presented with an unexpected reward.

This is a good time to up your game. Not only do you possess terrific mental focus but it will be easy to put this knowledge to immediate use. It’s almost as if you’re downloading information right into your mind and hands. There will be no mental struggle or confusion. If you’re looking to start a business – or to expand on what you already have – then the Mercury/Jupiter trine on October 24th will put you in touch with the very the resources you need to take things to the next level. It's a wonderful time for developing ideas that will turn into real moneymakers.

Flagging spirits are bolstered when the Sun forms a square to your Ruling Planet Jupiter on October 17th. This is one of the most dynamic combinations in Astrology because you really do believe that you can take on the world – and win! Your confidence is eye-catching and your enthusiasm is infectious which makes this the perfect time to convert people to your cause or to sell hard-to-please types on your vision of the way things should be. The only thing to watch out for is making bold claims that you can’t back up. Double check your facts and stats and you've nothing to worry about.

You hate to disappoint – especially when you've made such an effort to avoid making promises you can't keep. In the past you were often guilty of your goodwill being bigger than your follow-through, which is why it's going to sting when you have to let down a supervisor or loved one this week. You have the Venus/Saturn opposition on October 11th to blame. This is an unforgiving aspect which means that circumstances, finances, and even time are dead set against you. Make your apologies and you'll find that people – though bummed – are still appreciative for you being honest and letting them know ahead of time.

You’re going to be sensitive to any directive or command you receive this week – even if it’s a polite request to pass the salt. It could be argued that you're being overly sensitive. It’s a good idea during times like these to ask yourself what's really going on. You may feel beholden to a spouse or client who has you under their thumb. This could be what’s eating away at you. But if you’re beholden, then who put themselves there in the first place? It's a tough question to consider, but a revealing one. You can’t have your cake and eat it too after all.

The ends don't always justify the means as you'll discover on September 22d. This is when you learn that that deal you made in order to get ahead is going to cost more than anticipated. The terms of a loan may change, interest rates may increase, or you find yourself stuck paying back a favor you believed you could duck at the time. Simply put you are not in charge of your money and are now financially beholden to someone else. It would be wise to get on this person's good side ASAP seeing as you'll be handcuffed to each other for the foreseeable future.
