This year the air around you may be a little rarefied and lonely, Sag. Thomas Moran ‘Summit of the Sierras’ 1872-1875 {{PD}}

This Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius, the focus for you may be on determining the depth of your own power and authority, on finding your appropriate territory, and on measuring your responsibility toward those people and things currently in your life. You may not be accustomed to taking so much time and energy for yourself, but it really is necessary to nurture your sense of identity and to define your commitments, obligations, and your place in the world; your deep need this year will be to find exactly how you may shine at your brightest. I don’t know how reassuring this may or may not be, but relationships and finances will be under stress through no fault of your own, so putting attention on yourself will not take anything away from those areas–they will rise or fall on their own. In any case, learn all that you can, seek empowerment through acquisition of skills and through Self-improvement, and you’ll reach your next Solar Return ready for what at that time will feel like sudden, light year leaps in progress. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!

Questions of authority, nurture, territory, and Nature/ what’s natural are central to your Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius. The months will be filled with power dances and struggles, negotiations, and not a few trips to the Underworld of one kind or another; relationships and particularly matters of status will be affected and in turn will affect each other. Ambitions and desires will be pursued and, successful or not, will shape the life direction. It sounds intense and busy, doesn’t it? And it will be–how to get through it? Keep firmly in your mind lessons from the past–they will provide needed guidance for the present–and, though it may take you a while to arrive at this conclusion, when you do, your life will kick into high gear; that happens when you fully embrace the fact that you are in charge of your days and what you make of them, you will suddenly find those difficult power situations drop away–and a new sense of freedom will be yours. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!

You can fly high this coming year, Sag, but don’t forget about the needs of others, especially those you care about. Caesar van Everdingen, – Four Muses and Pegasus on Parnassus – c. 1650 {{PD}}

Dear Sagittarius, how can I possibly persuade you that your mind is NOT your most powerful muscle? Or really, I should say, your All-Powerful muscle? Because with the honed and confident mental abilities you are currently displaying it may be very difficult for you to see that approaching every problem mentally will not really work; in fact, it may make for marked vulnerabilities in emotional areas and in displaying your personal empowerment successfully within the social realm. You’ll misstep in both arenas unless you pull back and temper Self-confidence with humility and humor. Wisdom is yours if you can stay open to new information/ knowledge, to competing philosophies, and to new and unusual influences–if you can do that, the sky may be the limit, with that shining, brilliant instrument you call your mind at your beck and call this Solar year, through to your next birthday. Happy Day, Sag, and good luck!

Symbolically speaking, development of the mind/ mentality or line of thought has reached a peak–and typically when this occurs, implementing conclusions formed is the next step. Do you see a clear correspondence to this in your own life, dear Sagittarius, or are current power situations clouding your vision? Whether you can see it or not, you have reached a pinnacle, and it’s now time to move forward, ready or not. The good news: ambition and desire fulfillment have the go-ahead, and could allow for really excellent expression of your originality; the bad news: emotional issues may cause more than their share of hurt and problems. Don’t let those get you down, though, as you’re in an achievement window that could really pay off, if you use it well. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

The most important thing in your world right now, dear Sagittarius, may be seeing something important to conclusion–even more than one thing. It’s a time for wrap-up and results–how does that make you feel? If you’ve done the legwork, you should be looking forward to enjoying the fruits of what’s coming to an end; but if you’ve been neglectful, dragging your feet, you may find that what you get is not what you intended. Here are your options for facing this coming year after the dust has settled and the results are in, as outlined for this birthday Full Moon in ECLIPSE and modified for your Solar Return: “You have a choice: you can either end this knotted psychic situation, which offers the option of ending your present way of thinking and processing information (Gemini), or you can end the potential for freedom of expression by refusing to face the past and its true impact on your present. It all flows from there, and if you can reconcile your current needs with what you no longer need to carry, you will be strong enough to handle all other issues. Period.” So, it’s simple: allow change to the way you think (because it won’t continue to work going forward) and enter the future well-equipped, or don’t–with ambition so strongly emphasized in your Solar Return chart, I don’t know how you can do anything but alter and expand your mind–because that will bring you what you want! Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Dear Sagittarius, this Solar year, through to your next birthday, you benefit greatly, but especially in terms of Love or Money, by your store of knowledge and/ or your willingness to learn more, or possibly to teach what you know. It’s simply time to capitalize on whatever it is you’ve been studying all these years–and that’s so whether you feel ready or not. Too, this may not be in your current, main occupational line; you may be called in a new direction that you’ve modestly labeled ‘hobby’ for a long time now–but this has become a unique expression of you, and the world needs to see and hear about it. Pointers for the year include: take care to balance your own need for control and empowerment with the needs of authorities and those who hold the power–power can’t lie all on one side–and be ready for Big Change. It’s your chance to be You like never before–take it! Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!
