Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

This week could feel a little bit mystical, but there’s nothing wrong with that! This energy comes into the picture on the 1st as the Scorpio New Moon illuminates the skies and your sleepy 12th House of Fantasy and Completions. New Moons are all about initiation phases, which might seem a little odd given the fact that the 12th House is largely about endings 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 place of terrific mental health.

There’s a big change only one day later, encouraging you to put on your thinking cap and start brainstorming. Messenger Mercury has spent the last couple of weeks spinning through your 12th House of the Subconscious and while he’s been treading ever so slowly it’s been more than a little difficult to find a way to properly formulate your ideas. Whenever any planet happens to be moving through the 12th House it can be rather difficult to get a hold of their powers. Come the 2nd, however, you can finally start to think clearly as the messenger planet zooms into your 1st House of Self-Expression for the next few weeks. During this time, you’ll be a lightning rod for all the gold nuggets of information circulating out in the universe; likewise, if you’ve been chipping away at a project behind the scenes your big debut could be right on the horizon. This is also good for any negotiations, because you’ll have a special gift of gab that will allow you to articulate exactly what you want, and impress a few people in the process.

Next, action-planet Mars leaves Cancer and your intense 8th House and moves on to free-thinking Leo and your boundless 9th House of Expansion. Starting on the 3rd, you’ll have several months to work with this energy, as Mars will be making an extended tour of this transit; as opposed to the usual six-week phase, Mars will turn retrograde in December, stretching out its visit to this sector of your chart through next spring. If life has felt rather stilted or limited as of late, this is the perfect opportunity to start stretching and exploring, seeing what else is waiting for you out in the world that you might have otherwise ignored until now. This same realm deals with higher education, so it’s possible you could return to school or start studying a new subject in some capacity; there’s never been a better time to become more worldly!
