In the northern hemisphere, there is a feeling of change in the air as the warm days of fall begin to wane, and hints of the oncoming cold winter season are beginning to take hold. Sagittarius season begins on November 22, the time of year when the days are shorter and the nights become dominant. Sagittarius are the wanderers of the zodiac, not afraid of the coming darkness. They are fearless, seeking the truth in any way that they must.
The symbol of Sagittarius is usually an arrow pointing upwards representing Sagittarius always aiming for a higher spiritual ideal and philosophy in life. In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is associated with The Centaur Chiron, who was a master in archery. He healed and mentored Achilles, helping him to be victorious in the Trojan War. The Sagittarius’ connection to travel, higher knowledge and truth seeking stems from centaurus’ questing attributes, but also Chiron’s kind and most generous ones. Being half-human, the archer holds both an intelligent, civilized side, but is also an untamed beast, embodying the balance of primal instinct and wisdom.
In classical astrology, Jupiter ruled both Pisces and Sagittarius. The day home of Jupiter was Sagittarius, an adaptive fire sign that allows for expansion and joy. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and reflects the most light from the Sun, which was why it was recognized as having the greatest power to give luck and good fortune. This planetary rulership adds another layer to the qualities of Sagittarius, being its greatest source for the sign’s optimism, enthusiasm and friendliness.
Sagittarius’ enthusiasm, truth-seeking, and brutal honesty is kindled by the fire element. Sagittarius is a mutable sign who holds elemental energy of change and adaptation at the end of the four seasons. This mutable, fiery presence begins to prepare the stage for the next seasonal performance and describes Sagittarius’ restless, change-seeking and adventurous nature. The Archer’s sense of purpose is all about seeking the universal truths of life. This sign will go to the ends of the Earth to see and experience all that life has to offer for themselves. This is where they get their manta “I see”.
Temperance is the Tarot card associated with Sagittarius. Depicted in the traditional cards is an angelic figure, calm and focused as they balance a flow between two chalices. This angelic figure has one foot on land, and the other in water, demonstrating the balanced harmony between fluidity and stability that exists between intuition and the capacity to make tangible. This card speaks to the temperate nature that can help harness Sagittarius’ naturally expansive and enthusiastic exploration, making the insights gained into something sustainable and attainable.
Sagittarius is unique with its blend of passion, curiosity and adaptability. Their quest for knowledge knows no bounds. They are born to explore and need the freedom to roam. They are incredible entertainers and creatives. They are also known for their bluntness, and sometimes, brutal honesty can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. The good news is Sagittarius doesn’t take anything too seriously, so it’s difficult to stay mad at these wild optimists.
The word “enough” doesn’t exist in this sign’s vocabulary. When Sagittarius is intrigued, they go all in. That is, until something else catches their eye. They don’t stay on a single fascination for too long. They have many passions and interests.
Sagittarius are known for their larger than life spirits! They are captivating characters who can light up a room with their stimulating tales, infectious laughs, and dynamic charm. They easily attract friends with their innate humor. They infuse all conversations with their “no bullshit” attitude. They are fun, playful and philosophical at the same time. Their spirit is fueled by their passion for knowledge, so they relish in learning about everything.
How Can Sagittarius Season Affect Us?
The shift from Scorpio Season to Sagittarius Season takes us from the underworld of depth and transformation to that of adventure and expansion. We’re shifting from emotions of water to the passions of fire, from inward focus to outward. Sag brings us up from the depths, to be reborn and filled with passion, enthusiasm and adventure. We will be ready to change up our routine, pursue different outlooks and educate ourselves. We could be feeling more optimistic, with an enthusiastic and positive outlook on life.
It’s here that we’re faced with the questions; Where did we come from? What is life? Is there a meaning to existence or do I create my own? Is there something larger leading me or is it all up to me? Can these questions be answered objectively? They are doorways to expand perspective, indulge in curiosity and broaden life’s lens.
Sagittarius doesn’t invite us to just learn from textbooks, classes or teachers. Knowledge doesn’t always equate wisdom, but lived experience does. Sagittarius Season will bring out the inner adventurer in all of us. We will feel curious and open-minded. Knowledge will be key, and we aren’t afraid to search in different places to find the answers.
During Sagittarius season, some people may feel a stronger urge to seek out new experiences, travel, or take risks in their lives. It can be a good time for education, intellectual growth, and expanding one's horizons. This transit fuels a more open-minded approach to life. What Sagittarius wants to know most is the meaning of life, and to find these deep answers while feeling free and simple.
Since Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and optimism, this transit may bring a more positive and enthusiastic outlook on life for some individuals, encouraging them to see opportunities rather than obstacles. We may be feeling especially giving! That doesn’t necessarily mean spending money (though the holiday season is upon us). It could mean you’re being more generous with your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
During this season, some people may find it easier to express their thoughts and opinions without sugarcoating, which can lead to both positive and challenging interactions. The problem is, we could be a little too open with our thoughts. Sagittarius can be extra and pushy. We will want to talk, talk, talk and share! Little irritations can lead to big arguments. A little tact goes a long way. It’s also important to remember to listen.
Sagittarius invites us to learn, make connections and expand our minds and horizons. We’re invited to hope again. It’s an opportunity to rewrite the narrative, believe in ourselves, and say yes to visions that call our name. With Sagittarius’ emphasis on experience, the season is about taking steps forward, stumbling, living, feeling, falling and getting up. It’s through experiences that we become wiser.
