Aside from the gradual ingress of Pluto into Aquarius, November 21st will also see the Sun enter the sign of Sagittarius. This shift (alongside Pluto) will begin to alter the horoscope for individuals of all zodiac signs—perhaps subtly at first, but profoundly in the long term.
For now, the changes may seem minor, as Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and the Lunar Nodes are in retrograde motion. Many shifts, though necessary, are currently delayed, postponed, or awaiting the right conditions. However, this will begin to change incrementally. You’ve probably noticed similar patterns in your personal life.
For those born under Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo, or Gemini, the upcoming four weeks may bring a drop in energy, particularly around the calendar date closest to your birthday. For example, on or near December 1st, Sagittarius individuals—and Pisces, Virgo, and Gemini individuals born on the first day of their respective months (February, September, and June)—may feel physical or emotional strain. This pattern will likely repeat for other dates as well.
Societal Impacts
Predictions for nations linked to Sagittarius suggest potential unrest or heightened activity in Arabia, Australia, Southern France (Provence), Spain, Hungary, and Madagascar.
Furthermore, the mutable cross will activate other signs and their associated nations:
- Gemini (Germany, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia): In these regions, the Sun in Sagittarius may bring developments in communication, trade agreements, travel, or information technology. Political, educational, or journalistic changes are also possible.
- Virgo (Lower Silesia, Switzerland, Austria—especially Carinthia, parts of France): Expect changes in healthcare policy, employment, or approaches to public services and organizational systems.
- Pisces (South America, Brazil, Portugal, parts of Asia): These areas may see shifts related to religious movements, cultural transformations, or natural disasters, prompting humanitarian aid. Emphasis may also fall on human rights and changes in international relations and migration.
When the Sun in Sagittarius aspects these signs, it often highlights the dynamic tension between expansion (Sagittarius) and a focus on details and analysis (Gemini, Virgo, Pisces). This combination may usher in broad changes while raising critical questions about daily life and long-term vision.
Fixed Stars in Sagittarius
The Sun’s transit into Sagittarius is a time that radiates the energy of vision, expansion, and the search for truth. Coupled with the influence of fixed stars within this sign, it opens the door to profound astrological exploration. Sagittarius embodies higher ideals, philosophy, and direction, making these stars critical focal points for deeper reflection.
