Expand with Integrity: The Medicine of Sagittarius
All right, my friends, Scorpio season is drawing to a close and Sagittarius’s time has come!
Sagittarius season includes Thanksgiving in the US and the lead up to “The Holidays,” a collection of pagan, religious, commercial, and/or intentionally curated days that typically bring connection, celebration, intensity, and - often - a harriedness. After all, the days are shortening, the nights lengthening and the sense that we can’t “get it all done” can certainly creep in.
The qualities of this time of year aren’t surprising. Sag is a mutable fire sign! Intensity - check! Optimism and action - check! Expansion (for good and ill) - check! Lost details and decreased practicality - check!
This outgoing, sociable sign ruled by Jupiter encourages adventure, BIG experiences, stretching outside our comfort zone! It’s all very exciting! Until it’s too much and we lose our grounding or sacrifice our emotional well-being for spontaneity.
This Sagittarius Season
I’ll be tapping into Sag’s idealism and knowledge seeking. Sag is driven to learn and grow in order to expand from our hearts; to connect with something bigger than ourselves; to know the Divine within ourselves; to take leaps of faith - and to trust them!
Like all fire signs, Sag encourages us to know ourselves; to move from center; to act with integrity that is far greater than us as individuals. This is the medicine Sag offers as we’re asked to roll with the undulations that this time of year can bring.
Some major transits to work with this month
Saturn and Mercury station direct (Nov. 27 & Nov. 29, respectively) - the review period is over. We’re moving on, moving forward. Get clear on what you are moving toward.
Venus enters Sag (Nov. 30) - Goddess of love, beauty, and connection gets increasingly cozy with the Sun, bringing her grace and good will to Sag themes and your Sag house.
Neptune stations direct (Dec. 10) - no more dress rehearsal. What have you been dreaming up these last many months? What’s going on in your radical imagination? It’s time to put it into play (when Neptune enters Aries for good on January 26 it’s, 100% go-time… start your engines now and shiny-up any last details)!
Mars enters Capricorn (Dec. 14) where it is exalted! It’s time to GET IT DONE! Mars brings its action-orientation and drive to the steady doer and achiever of the zodiac. Together, they bring work-horse energy to wherever Capricorn is in your chart! Mars is helping out, so let the work in this area of your life be easeful and fulfilling ❤️

I hope this season is full of excitement, optimism, and joyful growth - as only Sagittarius can bring! 💫
But first - here are some seasonal gifts for you…
Reflection Questions for Sag Season:
Where am I genuinely being called to grow or stretch — and what inner truth or value needs to guide that expansion?
What leap of faith is quietly calling me? What would trusting myself look like in practice?
What dream, idea, or desire has been incubating during the retrogrades — and what small, grounded step brings it into reality now?
Somatic Practice to Feel into Sag’s Fire:
Place one hand on the sternum and one on the low belly.
Bring to mind a decision, invitation, or desire.
Notice:
Does your chest lift forward (excitement)?
Do you tighten in the belly (pressure/obligation)?
Does the breath deepen or get shallow?
Let the body, not the mind, decide if this is an aligned leap or a Sag-season overextension.
