Areas of Expansion in 2016 for Sagittarius: Career, Reputation

Your Sagittarius 2016 Horoscope, Jupiter Profile, points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Until September 9, 2016, your ambitions, career, business goals, and reputation continue to grow and develop. Your talents and skills are recognized now like never before. All of the hard work you’ve put in begins to pay off and is rewarded – or at the very least, recognized. This influence has been with you since August 2015.

You are in the limelight in some way during this cycle. Although it’s a great period for expansion and recognition on a professional level, and you should take advantage of it, choose your projects carefully. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Watch also for gossip or mishandling of information. Be wary of situations that could get blown out of proportion or misunderstood.

This can be a time of significant progress in the outer world, a fortunate change in status, and increased recognition.

Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and this can be especially true for your individuality and personality – you are presenting yourself in a more respectable manner. There is an interesting connection going on with Jupiter, your ruler, in the house of Saturn, and Saturn in your sign. Sagittarians are likely to carry themselves with more maturity, and gain more respect during this period.

You could find yourself in a position that truly suits you. You can take great pride in the work you do. You may be putting more of your personality and image into your career pursuits. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can be quite charismatic in a position of authority or responsibility. Advancement in achieving an important goal can occur now. Your reputation may be enhanced in some significant way. You have more faith in your goals and aspirations during this period of your life.

This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you.

There may be difficulties with a romantic partner, family member, or child who is at odds with the energy and time you are pouring into your career or public life, particularly in mid-February to March, late May, and mid-August. Confusion or disorder in your home life, or possibly your own insecurities, can negatively impact your career or more worldly pursuits. Personal responsibilities and possibly self-restrictions can be challenging, affecting your growth in the outside world or career. Daily tasks can feel overwhelming at times. A business or pursuit may need adjustments and some restructuring in order to better meet the demands of reality.

However, for the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your reach. Until June can be especially strong for practical matters, business, financial improvement, and recognition for natural talents and skills. This is a time for expansion, strategy, and renovation. You may be joining with people who further your career or personal interests, and through their support, faith in you, or wisdom, you are encouraged to reach your highest potential. Your timing, particularly in business, is improved.

From September 9th onward, your connections to others, group associations, and friendships expand and grow. This influence will be with you until October, 2017.

This is a time for feeling considerably more confident about the future, and about your ability to set plans in motion that will allow you to accomplish some of your most cherished hopes and dreams.

It’s a time when you are filled with ideas about the future. You are planting seeds, so to speak, aiming to get started on projects that will reap rewards in the future. While this can be exciting, try not to take on more than you can handle. Your vision is quite optimistic, and you might over-estimate what you are capable of doing down the road! However, one or two projects can be inspiring and also quite innovative.

With more contact with others, whether it’s about an expanded in-person group of connections or online, you are sure to come up with new ideas and to be inspired. Others can point you in new directions. There can be a cause that you work towards enthusiastically. A new communications project can excite you and bring you into contact with interesting, helpful people. Business income should increase.

This can be a time of budding friendships and/or group involvements. New people may come into your life and seek out your friendship, or existing friendships may be refreshed or enhanced. Opportunities to advance or for new learning experiences can come through associates, friendships, and networking.

Potential negatives: Over-emphasis on activities that take you away from your practical responsibilities, too often. There may be difficulties with a romantic partner or children who may be at odds with the energy and time you are pouring into your friendships and causes, there can be challenges related to home and family, and problems funding your dreams and plans, particularly in late November and late December.

However, for the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your social life and friends base, and to dream up exciting new paths for the future. Some of you could be meeting a partner through a friend, partnering with a friend, or enjoying improved relations with a significant other, particularly from late September to mid-October.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Personality, Manner, Body, Outlook, Personal Image

Your Sagittarius 2016 Horoscope, Saturn Profile, points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Saturn entered your sign, Sagittarius, on December 23, 2014. Saturn retreated back into Scorpio in June 2015, and then re-entered your sign in September 2015, where Saturn will stay until December, 2017.

Until June 14th, and then from September 17th onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your chart that governs your personal mannerisms, personality, image, and appearance. It also rules how you initiate things — your first impulse for coping with day-to-day demands. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence is with you until December, 2017. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Sagittarius. This year, those born December 2-13 and with an Ascendant of 10-21 degrees of Sagittarius are most directly affected.

During this cycle you are likely to be more cautious than you usually are and, at times, pessimistic. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be tolerated. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of the self. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!

It’s a strong time for literally slimming down if that’s a goal. You can more successfully begin new and improved health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly (instead of what you want to see). You can be serious during this phase, with more concern for your responsibilities and duties. You are getting in touch with your inner strength, and this takes some time and adjustment. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality.

This is also a significant period for finances with Saturn ruling your solar second house. Your earnings and natural talents can play a large role in your identity and general outlook.

Try not to come across as a heavy during this period — not everyone is going through the same cycle at the same time as you. However, others are seeing you as more responsible. Self-discipline comes more naturally as well.

The best way to handle Saturn’s transit through your sign is to meet your responsibilities to the best of your ability. Do take a closer look at the areas you’ve allowed to slide, and listen to your feelings of disappointment, but don’t let this turn into regret or resentment. Instead, focus on making improvements and keep in mind the long-term. Short-sightedness now can get you into trouble. Impatience will not be rewarded. Think in terms of the long view.

In late March and late May, if you’ve been taking on too many responsibilities, you can feel the pressure now. Personal plans or duties and professional plans or duties can clash. When Saturn squares Neptune in June and September, uncertainty with family or domestic affairs can present additional challenges. There can be a stronger feeling that you’re on your own or that you need to take on more responsibilities – to mature more quickly than you expected.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Romance, creativity, Children, Recreation

Your 2016 Sagittarius Horoscope, Uranus Profile, points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you are able to take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy period in which your romantic and creative life has been/is unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence is active throughout 2016 and beyond (until March 2019). You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric on a romantic level. Your romantic life is bound to be very colorful this year and in coming years. As well, you are tapping into your “inner genius” when it comes to expressing yourself creatively. Your writing and speech may be more imaginative and unusual or unique. Communication can be the key when it comes to making romantic connections, and many of you could be experimenting with online dating. There can be new forms of recreation and entertainment that interest you this year. Sagittarian artists are expressing themselves more uniquely and originally.

April and May are excellent generally speaking for these matters. You are especially free and open when it comes to expressing yourself, communicating, creating, and sharing your experiences with others. From December and into 2017, you can better balance your desires for security and tradition with your need to innovate and progress.

The more unsettling side to the changes that Uranus brings might be felt in March and August. Watch for overspending or risky investments, as sudden changes and impulses tend to rule.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Finances, Values, Career, Home Life

Your 2016 Sagittarius Horoscope, Pluto and Moon’s Nodes Profiles, reveal areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new”.

Attitudes towards finances and possessions, as well as money itself and personal values, continue to transform this year. Life lessons might occur in order for you to get in better touch with self-worth, principles, self-defense, and money attitudes. Changes might occur in your source of income, or your level of income can change. You may have to face control issues and possessiveness, and learn how to better manage these things.

There may be some challenges in November, when you may be taking on too many projects or when there can be a clash of values with a friend. Until June is a strong period for income and career. You are more able to receive the support and backing of others. You might turn around a difficult financial situation at this time. You could gain more recognition for natural talents, a business could take off, and you might have the support of influential people. Timing is strong, particularly with business.

In 2016, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your sectors of friendships, romantic relationships, and creative matters, and these areas of life continue to evolve in important ways, but only until March, when these things come to a head.

With the North Node moving through your career and responsibility sector all year, you are called upon to sort out your life plan.

The balance between attention to home, personal goals, and private life and attention to career and public life continues to come into focus this year. Changes are necessary in order to manage both life departments, as over-attention to either will leave you feeling out of sorts and guilty. Nevertheless, career and reputation are extremely important to you this year – these things can bring the most challenge, but also the most joy. Nurture your desire to feel accomplished and to meet your responsibilities. There is a real need to put yourself out there while still giving due attention to your personal life, particularly around the eclipses in March (family/home/personal life eclipse) and September (career, life path, responsibility eclipse).
