Areas of Expansion in 2018 for Sagittarius:

Your Sagittarius 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Spirituality
Charity
Private Life
Personality
Body Image
Mannerisms

Until November 8th, 2018, 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 began in October 2017 and 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ruler in the sector of your chart that rules private matters, anonymity, healing, and endings, this is one of the more withdrawn, reflective periods of your life.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 with you from December 2017 to August 2018 is particularly supportive of these things. This can be a period of developing your psychic abilities. Another, mostly concurrent theme with you from January to September 2018 is powerful for the discovery of old resources or ideas that benefit you now. Imaginative undertakings could boost your income this year. You could be working on a project in solitude or behind the scenes, and when you do come out with it, it could be quite profitable. Even so, you are learning that too much emphasis on the importance of material possessions can work against you. You are learning to put more value on the intangibles in life.

From November 8th onward, Jupiter is in your sign! This approximately one-year transit comes only every twelve years and serves to bring you out of your shell. You’re ready to take on the world. This is a time for exploring your needs and pursuing your dreams. Your personality, image, body image, and confidence in yourself expand to new levels with Jupiter in your sign until December 2019. You are seeing whole new possibilities, and your vision of life is panoramic.

If you’ve done your inner “work” well while Jupiter was transiting your solar twelfth house from October 2017 to November 2018, this can be an especially rewarding period. Your confidence in yourself and faith in the world are growing exponentially. Freedom is something you seek, but be wary of the costs of freedom when it’s pursued without necessary attention to responsibilities.

You are more willing to enjoy new experiences and to rid yourself of those things that have been holding you back from truly living and owning your life.

There can be new projects begun now that have fabulous long-term potential. You may not yet know where you’re headed with them, but you’re certainly enthusiastic about beginning anew.

Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more “me” time, which is in fact very much due.

This transit occurs not very long after Saturn’s almost three-year transit of your sign, which was a little hard or stark at times, and you’re likely to feel quite a bit of relief of pressure now.

You are seeking out a new beginning – a fresh start, of sorts – and your desire to do right is especially strong. Work or projects that you have been working on in private or behind the scenes may now begin to pay off. There is less focus on serving and helping others now, perhaps because this is no longer as necessary (for example, a child can go off to college, or even the end of a problematic relationship that took up a lot of your energy and resources, from which you are now enjoying some level of freedom), and now you can put some of your personal interests on the front burner.

You won’t feel like sitting around during this period of your life. You are hungry for new experiences. Everyday stresses that may have frustrated you in the past now seem almost inconsequential, as your vision is lifted above the mundane. As such, your ability to manage stress and pressure increases. You are more tolerant in your attitude towards others, and you’re considerably more confident about expressing the playful, creative, and fun side of your personality.

Potential negatives: Weight gain, pompous behavior, restlessness, over-confidence, wastefulness, and excesses in general. See to it that these things don’t ruin an otherwise excellent period. As well, in your desire to start over, watch that you don’t blind yourself to responsibilities.

There might also be times, especially in late November, when your personal desires seem to conflict with earning or improving your income, or when you have troubles with self-discipline, budgets, and limits.

Otherwise, this can be a time of opportunity. You might choose to pursue a new channel for self-expression or mental interest with great passion. There can be a strong sense of release and freedom from previously limiting, rigid, or stifling conditions. You feel more natural and confident — in your own terms.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Sagittarius 2018 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.

Money
Income
Resources

Until 2020, 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 directly impact those born in the first eleven days of Sagittarius and people who have a 1-11 degree Sagittarius Ascendant.

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. 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 2018 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
Work
Health

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 for part of 2018 and beyond (until March 2019). However, it divides its time with a new influence that will be in effect from May 15th to November 6th. The year is divided as follows:

Until May 15th and then after November 6th, you continue to be attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric on a romantic level, or these are the kinds of people you attract. Ups and downs have been par for he course. 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.

The more unsettling side to the changes that Uranus brings might be felt in early November and mid-December. Watch for overspending or risky investments, as sudden changes and impulses tend to rule. A dilemma related to someone or elements from your past emerging may present itself. Uncertainties about living arrangements or related to home life can create tension in your love life for some.

From May 15th to November 6th, you enter a lengthy period in which your work, daily routines, and health can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work now, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic and your energy tends to be up and down. Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself regarding work, service, or daily life, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.”

This is an important time for keeping open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. The most modern types of technology can transform your work.Staying in touch with current developments in your field gives you a nice edge.

Note that this influence kicks in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026).

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2018 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
Shared Finances

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 this part of your life.

There may be some challenges, particularly in late November, when you may be taking on too many projects or when there can be a clash between a desire for personal expansion and a compulsion to feel secure, comfortable, and safe. However, look for opportunities to turn around a difficult financial situation. You get tremendous support this year for your efforts to take charge of your finances, develop your talents, and find new ways to make money from hidden or current resources, as well as for business development.

In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your attitude, perspective, education, transportation, and communications.

With the North Node moving through your adventure sector until November 6th, 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.

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 January/February and July/August, you’ll be learning important things, picking up new interests and possibly ending some, and making important discoveries.

With an eclipse in mid-July and then the North Node of the Moon transiting your solar eighth house from November 6th forward, the second half of 2018 introduces some new themes related to shared finances, support, dependency, intimacy, and power dynamics. This points to a real need to share yourself with others in effective, empowering ways, and will develop more fully in 2019.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: Jupiter is your planetary ruler. This year, Jupiter spends time in the sign behind yours until November 8th when it moves into your sign. While you’re playing it safe or laying low for much of 2018, you come into your own from November forward. This is a time for coming out of your shell and recognizing important goals and ideals that you want to strive toward. Jupiter’s retrograde periods every year are natural cycles of introspection and extra rest or periods of reflection, and in 2018, Jupiter is retrograde from March 9th to July 10th. Jupiter is in great shape this year, receiving magical boosts from Neptune and Pluto, and you’re especially tuned into higher meanings, personal growth, and transformation.
