Areas of Expansion in 2017 for Sagittarius:

Your Sagittarius 2017 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Friendships
Groups
Causes
Hopes
Spirituality
Charity
Private Life

Until October 10, 2017, your connections to others, group associations, and friendships continue to expand and grow. This influence has been with you since September 2016 and will influence 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 March and August-September.

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, as well as 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. Throughout this period but particularly in August, you are in an excellent position to stabilize your life in significant ways, especially through your friendships and connections. You may be working towards a cause that has personal significance to you, and you may be earning respect from associates and friends.

From October 10th onward, your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance expand and grow. This is a period for looking within and learning of your inner strength. It’s also a time for appreciating some level of solitude.

Matters from the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the attitudes that serve you well, and the behaviors that need to go in order for you to grow and improve – a cycle that lasts until November 2018 when Jupiter will enter your sign and you are ready to share yourself more fully with the world.

This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest, or that your joy in life is not as obvious to others. With your sign’s ruler in the sector of your chart that rules private matters, anonymity, healing, and endings, particularly also with Saturn in your sign, this is one of the more withdrawn, reflective periods of your life. You may be exploring the hidden elements of life or developing your spirituality now.

You may also be especially compassionate and empathetic. This can be a powerful period for volunteer work, or for work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.

Potential challenges: Escapism. You might often be tempted to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges, and should avoid reliance on drugs, drinking, or other “glamorous” forms of escape.

Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have troubles facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for the good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. Beginning in December in particular, there can be some strains on mental and physical health.

There is stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.

However, for the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices for others increases, and you can build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others. An influence that begins in December is particularly supportive of these things. This can be a period for developing your psychic abilities.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Sagittarius 2017 Horoscope 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.

Personality
Manner
Body
Outlook
Personal Image
Money
Income
Resources

Until December 19, 2017, 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 13-20 and with an Ascendant of 21-30 degrees of Sagittarius are most directly affected. Those born earlier have passed the acute and most pressured phase of this cycle – it’s behind you.

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 for the very best results.

Peaking in late April and early November, 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. Insecurities with or about family and household matters can impact your self-image. It’s vital that you find ways to believe in yourself and make peace with the past. Helping you tremendously this year is a supportive influence with you until November (and peaking in mid-May and mid-November). This influence suggests support from children, a romantic partner, or a creative project, or great interests in these areas that help you to build your confidence. You are able to see the progressive benefits of the changes you’re making now. There is more enjoyment in your life as you come to a better balance between work and play; and between responsibility and recreation. Yet another supportive influence with you this year (peaking in August) involves your ruler, Jupiter, in your sector of community and friendship, suggesting that the support of friends or involvement in groups or teams and networking can add buckets to your happiness this year. This is also a powerful time for beginning a new long-term endeavor, particularly related to self-employment and the internet for some.

From December 19, 2017, and onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs personal finances, income derived from your own efforts (this excludes shared finances and financial support through debts and rebates), personal possessions, self-esteem, personal talents, and personal values. 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 will stay with you until the year 2020. 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, it will only impact those born in the first two days of Sagittarius and people who have a 0-2 degree Sagittarius Ascendant most. (In 2018, this will extend to 10 degrees).

Tests can come to your financial affairs during this cycle. You are challenged to better manage your personal resources, and to come up with a fair and realistic assessment of your value or worth as well. You may be necessarily more cautious about entering into heavy financial commitments during this period, and more cautious in general with spending. Worries can surface about your earning power, but as you progress, the ideal end result will be a stronger sense of what you are capable of earning, better spending and saving habits, and a more realistic budget. Cutting back on some luxuries may be in order, but you may just discover that the security you gain is more important than the luxuries you let go.

Saturn performs very well in Capricorn as its ruler. This should be a rewarding cycle for coming to a better position regarding the management of your material resources. You are exceptionally security-minded at this time and you can begin or step up savings plans. Any innate organizational and budgeting traits you possess are highlighted now. Look for overlapping or unnecessary expenses and other redundancies, and aim to rid yourself of material clutter. Your natural talents can contribute more to your personal income than previously. The last time this transit occurred was some time ago – from 1988-1990.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:

Your 2017 Sagittarius Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Romance
Creativity
Children
Recreation

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which your romantic and creative life has been/is unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence is active throughout 2017 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.

You are freer and open when it comes to expressing yourself, communicating, creating, and sharing your experiences with others. Since December 2016 and until November 2017, you can more readily balance your desires for security and tradition with your need to innovate and make progress.

The more unsettling side to the changes that Uranus brings might be felt in March, August, and September. Watch for overspending or risky investments, as sudden changes and impulses tend to rule. Sudden changes or breakthrough moments in romance or friendship can lead to actions that ultimately get you to a more balanced place. This can be a powerful time for not only exploring your creativity but also making something useful of it. It may be wise to make something of your hobbies–even if it doesn’t translate to income, you might find that expressing yourself creatively really helps to define yourself and to understand yourself better. Your creative abilities are reflected in your outlook on life and love and romance are life experiences you strongly identify with. Children may be a stronger focus this year as well. You are more effective, in general, in attempts to express your creativity. You have a stronger ability to hold the attention of an audience. Love, love affairs, and other social activities help to enhance a healthy self-image.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2017 Sagittarius Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Finances
Values
Communications
Transportation & Commuting
Learning
Worldview

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, particularly in March and August, when you may be taking on too many projects or when there can be a clash of values with a friend. However, look for opportunities to turn around a difficult financial situation. November is particularly powerful for taking charge of your finances, developing your talents, finding new ways to make money from hidden or current resources, and for business development.

In 2017, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your professional-personal life balance, and these areas of life continue to evolve in important ways, but only until May. These matters can come to a head in February with an eclipse that occurs in your home and family sector, and you’re given a cosmic nudge to improve your living conditions and home life.

With the North Node moving through your adventure sector from May forward, you can benefit greatly from expanding your perspective. One of the major keys to happiness now is learning to reach out and connect beyond your usual bounds. Seek personal growth through expanding your horizons, such as through higher studies, philosophical pursuits, travel, or adventuresome experiences. Search for a higher meaning, or to expand your perspective through networking and connecting with people whose belief systems and interests are different than yours.

A newer theme is with you in 2017–you are being challenged to improve your skills set. Do what you can to learn as much as possible about your trade. There may be an important beginning or culmination in education. If you are in business, a writer, or the like, you might reach a wider audience. Big changes in transportation and mobility may be in the works. Particularly around the eclipses in February and August, you’ll be learning important things, picking up new interests and possibly ending some, and making important discoveries.
