It’s a time to explore, dream, and set our sights on the horizon.

This Sagittarius season is buzzing with cosmic activity and brings opportunities to expand our minds and deepen our understanding of ourselves and others.
Key Transits During Sagittarius Season 2024
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius (November 25 - December 15)
Mercury retrogrades can be frustrating, and this one may feel particularly personal. With Mercury stationed in Sagittarius, themes of travel, education, communication, and belief systems are under review. Plans might go awry, miscommunication may arise, and you may find yourself questioning your long-held philosophies.
Use this retrograde to reconnect with your purpose, re-examine your goals, and seek clarity. If you experience delays, consider them invitations to refine your approach. Journaling and self-reflection are powerful tools to navigate this period.
Mars in Sagittarius (November 25 - January 4)
Mars, the planet of drive and action, enters Sagittarius just days after the season begins. This transit fuels our desire for adventure and growth, giving us the courage to take risks and expand our boundaries. However, it’s essential to temper this fiery energy with patience and discernment, especially during Mercury retrograde.
Whether you’re chasing new opportunities or pursuing personal goals, Mars in Sagittarius reminds you to align your actions with your values. Let your inner adventurer take the lead, but stay mindful of impulsiveness.
Venus in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn (December 18)
Venus, still in deep and passionate Scorpio, forms a harmonious sextile with transformative Pluto. This energy is intense but empowering, offering opportunities for deep healing and meaningful connections. Use this transit to explore the emotional truths behind your desires and relationships.
It’s a powerful time for self-reflection, especially as Sagittarius season winds down. What has shifted in your values and goals? How can you carry these lessons forward?
