The Sun changes signs, entering forward thinking Sagittarius on November 22 for a month long stay.
Sagittarius is symbolised by the archer, and this period may encourage you to shoot for stars, or generally add purpose, meaning or adventure to life.
The Sun moving around the Zodiac signs is one of the simplest calendars, measuring out similar length chunks of time.
Even though the date of the Sun changing signs doesn’t correlate to the start of a calendar month, it does highlight a change in energy which will flavour the next four weeks.
From Water to Fire
With the Sun in Sagittarius, we take the next step in a longer transition, where planets start to shift from yin signs, like water signs, into yang signs, like fire signs.
Jupiter already made the move, shifting into Leo back in July; just before Christmas Saturn will follow suit, leaping into Sagittarius on December 23.
The Sun lends his light to this shift, and emerges from the depths of Scorpio to reach for warmth, possibility and truth while in Sagittarius from November 22 – December 21.
You will notice life starts to shift, and literally lighten, in the coming weeks. Some of the intensity, the angst or even the need to know every facet of a situation will ease. If you do notice this lightness, expect to get stronger still once Saturn leaves Scorpio later in December.
The Sun + Jupiter: Gold
The Sun in Sagittarius shares a friendship or affinity with Jupiter in Leo.
When planets visit each others signs at the same time they support each other. (The Sun rules Leo, where Jupiter is, while Jupiter rules Sagittarius, where the Sun is.)
This will draw the bright, confident and bold energy of Jupiter in Leo into sharp focus, and make it easier to access. If you have a grand plan you want to put in motion, the next four weeks may help you take action.
If you know your chart, consider the houses ruled by both Leo and Sagittarius. These are areas of life which may open up, become ripe with opportunity or generally take more time and energy in the next month.
The peak of the Sun and Jupiter friendship occurs around December 15, when the Sun will trine Jupiter creating the truest kind of mutual reception. This may be an especially lucky or fortunate day, where life seems a little more blessed. This aspect occurs from the Sun at 22 Sagittarius to Jupiter at 22 Leo.
Sun Aspects
Whilst in Sagittarius the Sun will link to a number of other planets. A quick run down of key dates for the Sun in Sagittarius include:
– November 26 – 28, Sun square Neptune. Escape, dreams and fantasy may make it tricky to focus on facts or reality. Time out, creative work or trusting your instincts will be appropriate.
– December 4 – 6, Sun trine Uranus. Break with tradition and let your authenticity shine. Anything unconventional, unique or different goes so do what’s right for you rather than play it safe. an unexpected change can add excitement or open a new direction.
