Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope – November 2018

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

November 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until November 22nd:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.

Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.

From November 22nd forward:

The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.

It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Venus is retrograde from October 5th to November 16th Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs, for the most part, in your solar eleventh house of friendships, groups, and aspirations. Your friendships or associations with groups may be a little strained during this period--a time when you may withdraw and others might misinterpret your intentions, or when friends are distant. You may get the feeling that friends are either disinterested or insincere during this cycle.

Friendships and working relationships are Venus-ruled in your chart, and special care should be exercised in these areas of life. Be patient if these matters fail to satisfy you for the time being.

All month: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

This month: 

With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.

It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.

Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mercury is retrograde from November 16th to December 6th

While Mercury is retrograde, it's better to review, revise, and refine rather than push things forward, particularly related to communications, contracts, and transportation. Misunderstandings and delays are more likely.

Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. You may appear uncommunicative and hard to reach, or what you say comes out wrong. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until November 15th:

Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

From November 15th forward:

Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Overview Horoscope:

November 2018 Monthly Horoscope Summary for Sagittarius: There are some exciting changes for you this month, dear Sagittarius, not the least of which is Jupiter, your ruler, entering your sign for a thirteen-month stay. While the Sun doesn't move into Sagittarius until the 22nd and Mercury retrogrades in your sign in November, it remains a great transition month for you! The 6-8 is pivotal -- a time to access your intuition about what to leave behind you before your fresh start.

Jupiter works very well in your sign, even if it's not picking up much help from the outer planets while it transits Sagittarius in the year ahead. From November 8th to next December, Jupiter helps boost your sense of adventure. You could find that your natural Sagittarian traits are in full bloom in the year ahead! You feel at home in your own skin.

This transit comes at an interesting time. Saturn recently spent several years in your sign, clearing the decks, and now Jupiter here helps you rebuild and start fresh regarding your personal image, manner, attitude towards life and independence, confidence levels, your relationship with your body, and self-assertion. You're learning -- or relearning -- to take charge and "own" these things. This is about reclaiming your natural traits and projecting them more powerfully. You might start a new long-term endeavor now -- something all about you or resulting from your self-starting, enterprising nature. New physical activities or programs, businesses, or a fresh start regarding how you walk into a room or grab opportunities, may be part of the picture. Saturn helped you get organized but did little for your popularity. Jupiter is now enhancing your image, and you'll find people more overtly appreciating you and your general vibe.

Mercury spends part of the month retrograde in your sign, and the Sun spends much of November in your privacy sector, keeping things low-profile. However, Jupiter's transit spans the coming thirteen months, so there's no need to rush into anything. In fact, this month, you're in a fabulous position to build yourself up slowly but surely, even patiently.

Another significant change this month -- a sign change that happens only once every eighteen months, and a house change, only once every eighteen years -- involves the True Node entering your solar eighth house. The eighth house opposes the very busy, very heavy second house in your solar chart, and introduces an interesting and sometimes confusing dynamic, as it can seem to pull you in two different directions at times. However, it also points you in the direction of finding a better balance, which is always powerful.

With the North Node here until May 2020, you'll be learning to not only subsist (Saturn and Pluto in your second house emphasize this) but thrive, change, transform, and pay attention to your spiritual, sexual, and emotional needs in the process. Sharing yourself with others in empowering ways can involve ridding yourself of unhealthy dependencies and/or connecting with others in beneficial, healthy ways. Others may help you see your own potential, or through helping others make the most of THEIR talents, you discover your own.

The bottom line with this is that you're seeking the right balance between give-and-take in your life. The temptation has been to do everything yourself, which can become too much. This new Jupiter transit helps you find yourself and your place with others, too.

Mars finally moves forward and down to the bottom of your solar chart on the 15th - something it's been teasing for a while. Mind you, this is not necessarily the easiest of transits, but you do need to get a break from the mental and physical excitement/pressure it's brought to your life much of 2018. What you do need to watch for with this influence is allowing the excess energy of Mars to fester and do its own thing. You'll need to apply this transit constructively by putting energy into family activities or home improvement. Or, you may decide to once and for all handle a domestic or personal problem that's been lingering for too long. This transit pairs up well with Neptune's direct turn on the 24th - things are becoming clearer regarding the home, living conditions, and living arrangements, as well as relationships with family, roommates, and very close loved ones.

Venus turns direct after a retrograde cycle on the 16th, helping to clarify your social life, but on the same day, Mercury in your sign turns retrograde for a three-week run. Once again, you're dealing with dichotomies, but it does keep the month interesting. In the second half of November, you're heading into your personal power period with some questions and reservations, but you'll get there! Allow your mind to catch up with your heart before pushing ahead, and you'll be in good shape now.

November 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

November 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until November 12th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From November 12th forward:

Venus turns direct on the 16th:

Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.

Mind you, this is not necessarily the easiest of transits, but you do need to get a break from the mental and physical excitement/pressure it's brought to your life much of 2018. What you do need to watch for with this influence is allowing the excess energy of Mars to fester and do its own thing. You'll need to apply this transit constructively by putting energy into family activities or home improvement. Or, you may decide to once and for all handle a domestic or personal problem that's been lingering for too long. This transit pairs up well with Neptune's direct turn on the 24th - things are becoming clearer regarding the home, living conditions, and living arrangements, as well as relationships with family, roommates, and very close loved ones.

Venus turns direct after a retrograde cycle on the 16th, helping to clarify your social life, but on the same day, Mercury in your sign turns retrograde for a three-week run. Once again, you're dealing with dichotomies, but it does keep the month interesting. In the second half of November, you're heading into your personal power period with some questions and reservations, but you'll get there! Allow your mind to catch up with your heart before pushing ahead, and you'll be in good shape now.
