The power of transformation is felt on Tuesday, November 21st. Mars sextiles Chiron at 8:18pm EST, stirring feelings inside us that make us want to break away from old patterns of being. We are retraining the body, and teaching our muscles new memories rather than depending on the way things have always been. Sextiles are gentle in nature, and so these changes are introduced more slowly, as though we are gently coaxing a cat to approach us from the safety of the forest. There is deep motivation now for change that surpasses mere wanting. We are ready to take action and usher it into existence. This transit will be noticeable for the next two days as well, as Mars transits the final degrees of Scorpio.
The Sun shifts into Sagittarius today, November 22nd, at 9:02am EST. Versatile Sagittarius is the jester of the zodiac, and yet also the philosopher. The gift here lies in their ability to explore the most profound of topics and keep a light-hearted approach the whole way through. This is a celebratory, extroverted stay for the Sun. As we move toward Yule and the Solstice, we find glimmers of hope in darkening skies. Shimmering lights and decorations add joy for the Sagittarian spirit. Ultimately this is a time of seeking, of adventuring, of broadening one's horizons. It would be a mistake to hibernate too deeply during Sagittarian season. Stretch your limbs and explore the world around you.
A bit later in the day, Venus in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries at 11:44am EST. Relationships trigger insecurities, and yet also hold the key for overcoming. We find our current bonds to serve like mirrors for potent connections from the past. Ask yourself: is any discomfort here based on what is currently happening, or are my previous relationships molding my expectations? Maybe it is a blend of both. To extract the past from the present takes awareness and discipline, but there is a good friend who is likely ready to help, should you ask.
Mars, planet of action and aggression, enters the sign of Sagittarius on November 24th at 5:14am EST. It will be here until January 4th. Sagittarius is blunt, honest, and impulsive. Here Mars charges forward and is guided by a restless energy that sends it on a perpetual search. We find it harder to plan ahead, to rest and recover, and to exercise patience during this time. Always moving, always charging forward, Mars in Sagittarius is both curious and forceful. Responsibilities and commitments could feel intrusive and appear more like cages. We need room to roam, to work off excess energy. Going for walks or moving the body will result in more mental activity. Consider this if you are feeling blocked or stuck over the next 5-6 weeks.
The dance of Mars and Saturn is a jarring, disjointed jaunt. The two planets meet in square November 25th at 11:57am EST. Mars transits tend to be felt for about 4-5 days, building in intensity until the perfection of the planetary alignment, and then dissolving over the next couple days. Here we notice our movements restricted by authority. It could be the authority of someone in your life, telling you no. It could be red tape which prevents the next move from being made. It could be your body, demanding rest when you so badly want to explore and adventure. The details will differ for everyone, but the effect is the same. We are forced to slow, to halt the brakes. There is tension here and many fight back against this enforced change in speed. However, pushing back too much will only cause more depletion and distraction. Focus on slow, steady progress over the next few days.
