Mercury in Sagittarius- Nov 24th-Dec 13th-

Mercury, the planet of communication and processing of thoughts moves into Sagittarius today, November 24th. This follows after the sun, the planet that rules energy, ego and our sense of self also moved into Sagittarius on the 22nd (aka we’re right at the beginning of Sagittarius season). 

What this means for all of us is that Sag energy will be running prevalent both within ourselves and with the people around us! Not only will we be feeling more fiery, focused, dreamy and confident within ourselves- we will also be expressing ourselves as such too! 

With that, like always, I will be covering the light and shadow side of of the astrological transit + If you are someone’s who’s natal Mercury is in Sagittarius- this will apply and be felt all the more!  (you can find this out by looking up your birth chart which will tell you what signs all the planets were in when you were born) 
​

Light​

• Since Sagittarius is a fire sign, ruled by the planet of Jupiter which governs our higher self + intelligence, we will be quick to share our intellect, passions, and pursuits in conversations! Conversations will literally take on a brighter more dynamic energy and will be filled with new and exciting information! 
• Sagittarius are not afraid to stand out or go for things. Like the archer that represents their sign, they strike with concentrated and deadly focus- as such, thoughts and communication will be very clear- up front and to the point! 
• Like the element they are represented by, they light up the world with humor, honesty and hope! With that, be sure to share your feelings and thoughts with others, you never know what might light a spark that continues to keep on spreading! 
• Since Mercury also rules how we take in information, this will be a dreamy time to think positively and dream big! After all, Sagittarius are always aiming outward, and up! 

Shadow

• Since Sagittarius is ruled by fire and Jupiter, when Mercury is in Sagittarius, we all have to be careful of overly intellectualizing things (minimizing emotion). Although it is important to see the bigger picture, it is also important to allow yourself to be human and feel your feelings! Don’t let the fire energy within you scare away the water. 
• As a sign represented by the archer, we have to be sure that we know how to wield our words. Although we can be incredibly precise and to the point, be sure to notice if it’s a target worth pursuing/and that you are not repeatedly shooting someone in the same spot! 
• Lastly, much like fire, be careful not to burn others with your words, be gentle, and slow. Let your fire build safely- don’t let it create chaos you are not ready for! 
• Since Sagittarius is a dreamy sign that often looks ahead, be sure to concrete your hopes and dreams with practical steps to help you concrete grand ideas into something physical! 

I ultimately hope you are able to use both the light and shadow together to make more empowered, loving and conscious decisions! This is especially helpful, when considering most of us will be spending time with close friends and family this week with Thanksgiving! By balancing light and shadow within yourself, in communication, in others and in time, you open yourself up to experiencing and embracing the entirety of the magic available to you in each moment- without fear, and with openness and acceptance! 

Wishing you a loving, fun, and Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow and the enhanced ability to embrace chaos! ;) 

With love,
