Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

This week can feel like you are waking up out of a long dream, and will still be shaking it off as you yaw and stretch and come to life. First, on the 18th, messenger Mercury will back out of your own sign and return to Scorpio and your 12th House of the Subconscious for the rest of its retrograde cycle, before eventually turning direct on the 29th. Life can feel foggy when Mercury is direct in this sector, so things will feel even stranger with it retrograde; try to avoid making any big decisions or engaging in important discussions for now, as you will likely be missing an important piece of the puzzle.

This fantastical and foggy energy comes to a head on the 20th as the Scorpio New Moon illuminates the skies and your sleepy 12th House. New Moons are all about initiation phases, which might seem a little odd given the fact that the 12th House is largely about completions and letting go, but really this is a powerful opportunity for you to do some major healing and detoxing. We’ve gone through a difficult last few months, and chances are they brought some very stressful experiences to your front door. Use this time to try and cleanse yourself of any anger or resentment that has built up in you, so you don’t carry unnecessary baggage into the future; by the corresponding Full Moon, you can be in a state of terrific mental health.

It’s time to power up your engines and get ready to blast off on the 21st, as the Sun exits Scorpio and dives into your own sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression and Action for the next four weeks. This is your birthday season for a reason; this is your moment to put your desires and aims front and center so don’t think this isn’t the perfect opportunity to pursue your dreams. The world will begin to open up to you over the next few weeks in ways that it hasn’t in a very long time, but don’t be surprised if a lot of opportunities come to you out of the blue, with bountiful Venus still moving through your magical 12th House, alongside Mercury. December will bring even more opportunities for advancement, but you are on a new track, and it is the right one.

Lastly, on the 23rd, the Sun will sextile Pluto in your buzzy 3rd House, making it the perfect day to get out and about and see what everyone is up to. Even if you think of yourself as more of a homebody, you can have an especially fun time out on the town with a few friends, so call up the gang and head out for a night of whatever-you-please.
