‘Tis the damn season to explore
Can you believe it? Another four weeks have passed, and the sun no longer aligns with Scorpio. As of yesterday, the sun now sits in line with the courageous, easygoing and cheerful Archer, Sagittarius. So kiss the emotional intensity and extreme focus goodbye, because the Archer can’t be bothered with zeroing in on the details. It's time to zoom out and broaden your horizons—we’re channeling our inner Sagittarius for the next four weeks during their season.
Jupiter, the planet for expansion, rules Sagittarius. This means that the next weeks provide the opportune time to work extra for the goals you’ve been manifesting the past year. According to Refinery29, you’ll be experiencing a lot of goal-related progress. And yet, there is a resounding but: don’t rush into binding decisions just yet. Instead, be open to options and take calculative risks towards your dreams. Wonder’s November 2021 cover star Ayn Bernos (despite being a Type A Virgo) dropped one of the biggest Sagittarius szn bombs, “…be stubborn about [your] dreams, but be flexible about [your] methods.”
Sagittarius season also offers the best time to be adventurous and look for the world beyond what you’ve known. Explore your surroundings, move out of your echo chamber and stray away from your comfort zone. Embrace openness, not only about internal changes and your goals but the perspectives you get introduced to—an open mind will get you through this season. And you know what goes best with an open mind? A mouth that speaks your truth. Whether it’s telling the world of the changes you’ve experienced, re-telling your story in your terms or the new things you’ve learned along the way, Sagittarius’ expressiveness gives you the platform to say it like it is.
A recurring theme in all these astrological readings would be: anything in excess will do more harm than good. For Sagittarius, their reputation precedes them—obnoxious, loud, quick-tempered and too opinionated. To avoid channeling their more negative traits, check how you deliver your opinions. After all, the openness of Sagi SZN gives us so much new knowledge we want to share. But remember: only give your opinions if your recipient is willing to take it all in. Oh, and if you’re delivering it nicely.
