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!

You may be caught this Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius, between the need to isolate yourself and just Think, and the need to go out and make yourself known by expressing your inherent Power, personality, and authority. These are urges that could be equally termed ‘genuinely You’, and that makes it even more difficult to know what to do. The two questions to ask yourself are, ‘Why would I resist healing?’ and ‘Am I afraid of something I see as my Fate?’ There are no right answers, only answers that will show you how to address the choices that are before you. Here’s another clue: your ruler Jupiter is stationary, and ready to go retrograde at 22 Leo 37; whatever this aspects in the natal chart, whatever House it’s passing through, the subjects of these should give you an idea of what parts of your life, what parts of you, will shift without you doing anything–shifting everything else will be up to you. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!

You can’t afford to mope and act like a martyr this year, Sag–there are too many good things waiting for you to make the effort. Antonello da Messina c1473 {{PD}}

It’s a cryin’ shame that you’ve been hurt in the past, dear Sagittarius, but this Solar year, through to your next birthday, you can’t indulge in the erratic or the rebellious just because you feel it’s justified; instead, you must home in on those skills and talents that only you have–or rather, you must home in on those things you know you have a facility for, that you do extremely well–and then you must do them. You have an excess of energy right now, and your job is to harness and focus it, to do something with it that you can be proud of–and that you will profit from, because gain by presenting yourself and what you know/ can do to the social sphere is definitely on the ticket for this year–all you have to do is punch it. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!

Clothes might help this lady balance things out. Lucas Cranach the Elder 1537 {{PD}}

The exercise of Power within the world, both personal and at the societal level, is the focus of your year, dear Sagittarius, through to your next birthday. You may be very concerned with expressing your own Will, and also with how others wield their influence; the trick will be finding a balance between the two perceptual viewpoints, as the tendency may be to think only about implementing your own wants, on one end of the spectrum, and about critically assessing the choices others make, on the other–and neither is the place to be. What you want is to draw knowledge from the examples of power use at all levels, and then to put what you learn to work in pursuing what you want. A couple of hints: knowledge will pay off, as will a clear and unbiased picture of reality, and a practical stance trumps all other approaches. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!

Don’t hesitate, Sag, to bring your unique voice to the public sphere. Edouard Manet – ‘Street Singer’ c1862 {{PD}}

Emotional harmony comes later this Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius, right about when you take on an appropriately empowered role within the social sphere. You may already know what this is, or it may come to you as you discover something unique or unusual about yourself (check the House through which Uranus is transiting, the House it rules natally, and the House where it’s posited natally for clues). You may already have the role, but have been reluctant for whatever reason to really inhabit it–if so, that’s got to change. Your year is all about communicating your strengths, about knowing who you are as an individual, and then taking that originality to the group. It may not be what you had planned, but it’s what the Universe has planned for you. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!
