This is the first month of the rest of your life, Sagittarius, in a very real sense. You are participating in an exciting vision for yourself and for the world around you that takes your creative self-expression in startling new directions and brings enthusiasm to practical plans and goals for a better connection to your own unique internal mandate for constructive change. There is a nay-saying or reluctant part of you that may also be active now and must, in some respects at least, be overcome. You are getting entirely serious about supporting a fresh level of commitment to deeply held values and a changing world view, in spite of whether or not these values are supported by the current trends in consensus thinking. These evolving goals may very well involve a renewed connection to Nature and the environment as your sense of personal contribution continues to expand.
The following was written by this month's guest columnist Samuel Reynolds; visit him at Unlock Astrology :
With this being the first full month that stern Saturn hasn’t treaded backward through your sign, more of your buoyancy and adventurousness is likely to soar. It helps further that on the 5th, crafty Mercury slips out of its retrograde. In fiery Leo, representing your 9th solar house, Mercury prompts you to dream of visiting distant shores, and to long for more adventure. Once Mercury is moving forward, and especially after the 19th, you could feel like you, too, can move forward with your plans.
As vigorous Mars sneaks into meticulous Virgo, you’ll probably find it easier to suss out details and take practical steps toward putting things in motion. You also might feel more like your firebrand self since Mars will be flying his bright banner high in your tenth house of achievement. When Mercury partners with Mars in Virgo on the 16th, you may become corrective with those around you. If so, be sure to leaven your criticisms with compassion. You can use your need for precision as a guide, rather than as an exacting rule measure.
Fortunately, the Virgo New Moon on the 19th can serve to shake you out of any tedious need to get it all right. It’s time to return to the big picture visions and dreams that truly light you up. In turn, you’re able to tap into what inspires others. It’s good to know that trading in your microscope for a telescope doesn’t mean you’re not grounded. The particulars will prompt you to seek out the universal. If you join a group, for instance, you’re probably interested in learning the specifics to see if its core principles and philosophy match up with its practices. Then you’ll roll up your sleeves to see how you can improve things.
And that’s where you may need to be careful. A key part of changing the world is having the wisdom to know what can be changed. Hear others out, even when you believe you know what they’re going to say. Cooperation doesn’t only show us that no person is an island; it shows us how we get off islands and see more of the world.
With this kind of mindset, you might just score a long-desired special opportunity. This is especially so when generous Jupiter faces off against unique Uranus on the 28th. Also, Pluto’s release out of its own retrograde on the same day in a key financial sector of your chart bodes well for successfully mining out the resources you need.
Mercury finishes the month by going into Libra, the sign associated with your house of friendships, groups, desires, and plans. If you go on a trip, or to enjoy nature, you might find it more enjoyable with a companion or with a group. If you stay home, you’re likely to be chatting it up. You’ll especially appreciate someone who fans your flashes of insight with keen thoughts of their own.
