Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

The less you try to control things this week, the more enjoyable it will turn out to be, Sag. There is quite a special sextile happening on the 4th between your ruler Jupiter and alluring Venus, which is one of the loveliest transits we can experience in astrology. Jupiter is currently in your freedom-seeking 9th House of Expansion, which is your natural domain, and it is helping to attract new opportunities into your life for broadening your horizons and exploring more of the world. Venus, meanwhile, is in your 11th House of Networking and Global Technology, which can normally be great for expanding your social circles and meeting lots of new and interesting people, but there is a fly in the ointment because Venus is currently retrograde at the moment, dimming her shine and making it difficult for you to meet new people who are worth your time and energy.

This is, however, a wonderful time for focusing on the connections already in your life, and giving time and attention to the people who haven’t been getting their fair share of you. During this sextile, the groups you participate in could somehow wind up leading to a wonderful opportunity to explore more of the world, perhaps by planning a reunion trip abroad, or doing some sort of activity in a communal setting that will also open your mind up to new things–it could even be a group trip to the museum to enjoy a day of culture together! It is worth remembering that this sextile will happen once more when Venus is direct and moving full steam ahead, so you may still be in the planning stages of whatever lovely thing you’re going to eventually do–there is no need to rush the process right now!

You could actually have a revelation or two on the 4th, as well, because the Sun and Mercury will conjoin in Scorpio and your dreamy 12th House of the Subconscious. This would be the perfect time to gain clarity around a subject that has perhaps been bugging you for some time, or perhaps to finally release some old drama or toxic baggage you’ve been carrying around. Focus on cleaning out your mental house so you can fill it with new and exciting things down the line when Mercury is moving direct and both heavenly bodies have entered your own sign; you have until November 13th when both Mercury and Venus will turn direct, so keep your eyes focused on the finish line.

Finally, Mars enters its pre-shadow period which will lead up to its retrograde cycle beginning next January; Mars goes to sleep for about two and a half months every other year or so, so the lead-up is rather lengthy. Since Mars is the planet of action, you may begin notice that things seem to move slower as it too slows its pace, so don’t be shocked if the year seems to get longer and longer as we inch to the finish line!
