Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

This week can feel like stepping into a strange sort of dreamland, Sag. For the last few weeks, messenger Mercury has been bouncing along through Libra and your 11th House of Social Networks, which probably brought plenty of people and exciting opportunities your way, but it is time for a change of program on the 30th when Mercury slips into Scorpio and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious for an extended tour. It can be rather difficult to get a clear read on things when Mercury is treading through this murky territory, so you can often have better luck trying to tune into your own intuition and listening to your gut instinct, rather than trying to push ahead in a direct fashion. Likewise, this is a very creative and inspirational cycle, so you can come up with some pretty exciting things if you let your mind wander. However, it is worth noting that Mercury will turn retrograde at the end of the month for three weeks, which will make this cycle feel even more confusing, so the best thing you can do for the time being is to go with the flow, and try to avoid beginning any new projects until Mercury has entered your sign down the line; focus on wrapping things up in the meantime.

Speaking of retrogrades, alluring Venus, the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Money, is turning retrograde herself in Scorpio and your 12th House on the 3rd, where she will remain until the 25th when she will back up into Libra for the remainder of this cycle, eventually turning direct on November 13th, the same day that Mercury turns direct, too. In the meantime, romance and all things passionate may feel like a foreign subject while Venus is hitting the snooze button, so this is really not a great time to let your heart lead you wherever it may. In general, Venus transiting the 12th House is a time to clear out romantic baggage and old drama that is no longer of use to you, and also is an opportunity for you to heal old wounds relating to a sense of scarcity or lack. However, this will be extra important while Venus is retrograde, and the emphasis on healing old wounds and getting to the bottom of old hurts is especially prevalent. Likewise, beware the temptation to wear rose-colored glasses for the time being, because it can blind you to important red flags, and that is the last thing you want to happen now.

Sunday, the 4th, arrives with a kick in the pants as the Sun in Libra and your 11th House forms its annual opposition to sober Saturn in Aries and your passionate 5th House of Romance and Creativity. Under such an alignment, you might find there is a bit of a juxtaposition between what you want to do and what other people expect you to do; perhaps you have some big plans for everyone, but then when it comes time to implement them, no one seems to be on board. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade; this transit is only temporary, so don’t worry it’s a permanent vibration.
