SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE

Not all revelations come in the form of epiphanies. They don't always have to result from a bolt out of the blue or a lightbulb going off over your head. Sometimes they can be a dawning realization. On October 10th you will finally recognize what loved ones and friends have been trying to get you to see all along, that only you can put an end to an angry standoff. Part of you still wants the other party to pay, but don't let pride get in the way of putting this matter to rest. Making amends is the only way to get things back on track.

It's hard to explain this feeling of purpose that suffuses your being, but there's no denying it's there and it's there for a reason. The Mars/Neptune trine on September 28th is more than just a prompt; it's a spiritual calling to leave behind what's familiar so you can become the best that you can be. This might explain why you've had so many fallings-out with loved ones and friends lately. They've been getting in the way of your progress either by distraction or constraint. It's time to part company (at least temporarily) so you can give your all to the new chapter unfolding in your life.

You were born under the zodiac sign of the Archer. You like to shoot an arrow in the air and then gallop off in search of it. This speaks to your love of adventure and your delight in meandering. Mars in Leo from September 27th to November 25th shows that it's time to follow through on all those life changes you've talked about recently. Mars is a doer, not a dreamer, and Leo's fixity gives Mars an overriding sense of purpose, so you really must push yourself to go the distance. Make yourself finish what you start now and you'll like where you wind up.

You'll want to kick over the traces and gallop off when the Moon in Sagittarius squares the Sun in Virgo on September 18th, but this is not the way to go. The Moon, planet of the unconscious, houses our instincts, emotions, and memories. The typical reaction for the Moon in Sagittarius when faced with a situation it doesn't like is to bolt, but there comes a time when you need to rein it in. Do something different and sit down for an in-depth conversation instead. There's no freedom in starting over again somewhere else; real freedom comes from changing the habitual response of a lifetime.

Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, turns retrograde on September 10th. So what does that mean for you? How about no more wild spins on the Wheel of Fortune for the foreseeable future. This is your chance to catch your breath, sink down into a comfy chair, and study your situation from top to bottom. You might be surprised to discover how much of the past seven months you actually got right. It will be a relief to know that you really can think on your feet after all. This realization will come in handy for when Uranus comes out of retrograde in February.

What felt like a jumble weeks ago will make perfect sense after your Ruling Planet Jupiter forms a trine to Saturn on August 31st. Rather than having lost your way (which is something you initially feared), you will see how biding your time has allowed for a unique alignment of circumstances and opportunity to click into place so that you can play one card after the next in what will prove to be a winning hand. You’ve seldom been in a position to collect so much all at once, so push for everything that you can get. This will pay off handsomely for months to come.

The Lunar Eclipse on August 28th will hit you right where you live. For years you've felt unable to put down roots. Even if you were married with a family, there was still a part of you that felt like your real life was waiting for you somewhere else. Maybe it's finally finding someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, moving into the house of your dreams, or simply healing that part of you that felt used and abused that's cured you of the wanderlust. In any case you're turning the page and starting one of the best chapters of your life.

Venus/Jupiter sextiles (like the one on August 17th) always bring good things. The people you meet now are welcoming and want to share their good fortune. The power of attraction is strong and you'll find yourself socializing with like-minded souls who hail from different walks of life and financial brackets. You can look forward to them enriching your experience and expanding your world because they see you in ways your typical friends don't. You might wonder what they see in you that's so special, but why not let them tell you for themselves? That's the beauty of getting to know the eye of the beholder.

Sagittarians are always searching for their higher purpose. They know that there's a burning bush with their name on it somewhere in the world, but they don't know how to find it. The Solar Eclipse on August 12th will act like a cosmic calling card. On one hand you'll feel you're being summoned to embark on a new path, but because the Sun's rays will be blocked by the Moon, it will be hard to see what it is and where it's going. This has happened before and with undesirable results, but Jupiter in Leo ensures that this time you'll find what you're looking for.

This would be a good time to go on vacation or at least a weekend getaway. You've had your nose pressed to the grindstone for so long that you can't see beyond the next deadline. You need a change of scene. Not only are there physical benefits to new surroundings, but it would also allow you to refresh your mental cache and to recharge your psychic batteries. You've been a real trouper when it comes to getting your life back on track after a series of missteps, but there is such a thing as taking your penance too far. Indulge a little. You deserve a break.
