Sagittarius (November 21st December 21st) Happy Birthday to visionary, fun loving Sagittarius! Jupiter, the ruler of your Sun, is now arriving at the midpoint of your house of friends. This is your time to mix and mingle and inspire others with your big picture view of life. In the first week of the month Neptune s favorable relationship to expansive Jupiter guides you to envision things as they could be and say Why not! That being said, do remember that Saturn the lesson bringer of the zodiac is lurking from your powerful 8th house of change, reminding you that the best strategy for inspiring and being inspired is to keep your feet on the ground. Saturn is retrograde so it is important to reality check your plans and ideas. Fiery, energetic Mars moves into Sag on the 25th ratcheting up your intensity, so be cognizant of your impact on those around you. There is a Full Moon in your 8th house of transformation on the 26th. You are in store for a powerful shift in the last week of the month. Capricorn (December 21st January 19th) In the first week of the month, benevolent, expansive Jupiter transits the heart of your 10th house of career and receives great support from the Sun and Neptune. Creative opportunities are abundant. If you have artistic or healing talents this is a great time to expand them or consider turning them into a career. Whatever your dreams and aspirations in career might be, don t put any limits on them now. Just allow them to percolate and let the miracle unfold on its own. Miracles happen by allowing them to happen and not by making them happen. Saturn s retrograde transit to your 7th house puts relationship rebuilding in the spotlight through March, 2018.
