Sagittarius season begins on November 21, 2024, as the Sun moves into the adventurous and philosophical sign of the archer. This year, the energy feels especially reflective as it kicks off with several key astrological transits asking us to pause, nurture, and prepare for the transformative road ahead. Pluto’s entry into Aquarius on November 19 sets the stage for a powerful new era, one that will unfold over the next two decades and bring changes to society, the collective, power structures and technology. At the same time, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius begins on November 25 and lasts until December 15, urging us to slow down, reassess, and approach this season with patience and intentionality.
The energy deepens with the New Moon in Sagittarius on November 30 at 10:22 PM PST, a powerful moment to set intentions for growth. Sagittarius season is about asking questions, exploring possibilities, and expanding your worldview. It’s not a time to rush into answers but to savor the journey of discovery itself. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, carries the optimistic energy of luck, curiosity, and benevolence. This season is about expanding through refinement—laying the foundation for a more authentic, purpose-driven future.
Temperance & Sagittarius: Finding Balance in Growth
In the tarot, Sagittarius corresponds to the Temperance card, a symbol of moderation, reflection, and harmony. Temperance reminds us that growth doesn’t always happen in leaps and bounds; it often requires patience and balance. This archetype invites us to explore the deeper meaning of belief and truth, encouraging a philosophical approach to life.
During this season, take time to nurture and nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Reflect on your values, explore what it means to believe in something, and dare to ask the big questions. Sagittarius loves a riddle, and this season encourages us to go out, seek our own answers, and embrace the journey of discovery.
Jupiter’s Guidance: Optimism and Expansion
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance, and optimism. In mythology, Jupiter (or Zeus in Greek mythology) was the king of the gods, a figure of generosity, power, and wisdom. In modern astrology, Jupiter symbolizes growth, luck, and gratitude—the perfect antidote to the uncertainty Mercury retrograde may bring. This season, let Jupiter’s influence remind you to trust in the process of expansion, even when it feels uncomfortable. Retrogrades are often feared, and of course disruptions may occur. But those mishaps are usually related to a form of resistance. By intentionally going inward and working with the cosmic energies available to us, we can transmute anything that comes our way.
As Pluto begins its transformative journey in Aquarius, this Sagittarius season lays the groundwork for optimism and hope, creating a foundation to navigate the innovations and changes ahead. With Sagittarius energy infusing the sky, you’re being asked to step into the realm of possibility and align your actions with your highest aspirations.
Ninth House Themes: Stepping Beyond the Comfort Zone
Sagittarius rules the ninth house, which governs higher learning, philosophy, travel, and exploration. If you’ve been feeling stuck or confined by old patterns, this season provides a much-needed opportunity to break free. It’s a time to shed limiting beliefs, step out of your comfort zone, and embrace the freedom to grow.
The New Moon in Sagittarius on November 30 is the perfect moment to reflect on what inspires you and set intentions for this next phase of your journey. Think about what values or philosophies you want to carry forward and which ones you’re ready to release. These intentions will culminate with the Full Moon in Gemini on December 15, which will help you release outdated stories and make space for fresh perspectives.
Mars Retrograde in Leo: Tempering the Fire
On December 6, Mars retrogrades in Leo, adding another layer of reflection to this already introspective season. Mars, the planet of drive and passion, asks us to reassess what truly fuels our ambitions. Retrogrades often feel like a time of pause or slowdown, but they provide an essential opportunity to temper impulsive energy and ensure that your actions align with your long-term goals.
This retrograde energy ties beautifully into the lessons of Sagittarius: temperance, balance, and intentional growth. It’s a moment to reflect on what drives you, reassess your passions, and refine your sense of purpose.
Daring to Believe: A Sagittarius Call to Action
Sagittarius season dares us to hope. It’s about finding freedom in curiosity, growth through refinement, and joy in the questions that guide us. The energy of this season isn’t about rushing forward but about aligning with your truth, even as you explore the unknown.
The New Moon in Sagittarius and the Full Moon in Gemini create a powerful cycle of intention and release, offering the chance to dream big and shed what no longer serves you. Mars retrograde deepens this energy, giving you the space to reevaluate and temper your passions.
This season, take a moment to reflect on where you’re heading. What beliefs fuel your journey? What truths feel authentic? And where can you invite more balance into your life? Sagittarius season reminds us that growth doesn’t come from forcing the arrow to fly—it comes from the patience to pull back, aim true, and release at the right moment.
Thank you for reading, infinite blessings this season, and Happy Solar return to all the Sagittarius natives!
