Sagittarius Horoscope for December 2017

are at the start of another exciting month of growth and change, Sagittarius. You have recently been engaged in questioning certain aspects of your very identity, intensifying in early December when Mercury stations retrograde, and also feeling a sense of added responsibility to get it right this time. All these factors come to a head over the first half of December, when also your own inner world is calling you. This month is a great time to pay attention to your dreams, as telling you true about what is actually going on deep inside. Over the final two weeks of the month, including the Christmas holiday, while well aware of interior matters you yet find yourself much more available for social interaction and new creative endeavors. A new you is emerging over this latter period that is informed by depth researches that have gone before, so that by January you find yourself irrevocably changed.

Happy Birthday Season! And happy belated birthday to those with Sagittarius birthdays at the end of November. It’s going to be a powerful month for you, as well as a powerful year ahead (your solar return chart for your next year will be imprinted by this month’s planetary transits, as well!). This month Venus enters your first house, in Sagittarius, on the first of the month, just as Mercury and Saturn are conjoining while Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius. Meanwhile, Mars in Libra in your eleventh house is just separating from an opposition to Uranus in Aries in your fifth house, and Jupiter in Scorpio in your twelfth house is making a trine to Neptune in Pisces in your fourth house. Each of these transits are happening during the first week of the month, setting the tone for the entire month. Let’s look at each transit in depth.

Venus moves into Sagittarius and your first house to start the month, just as Mercury is stationing and turning retrograde in a conjunction with Saturn in Sagittarius in your first house. The first house is the house of the self, health, new beginnings, and character. Here’s what to watch for:
