On November 22, 2023, the Sun moves from the fixed water sign of Scorpio into the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius.
Mars and Mercury will also both be in the sign of Sagittarius forming a
conjunction with anyone with their Sun sign in Sagittarius.
Mercury is at 17° Sagittarius and then goes into retrograde on December
14 (although at 8° Capricorn) but will move back into Sagittarius on December 24
still in retrograde. Mercury goes direct on January 2, 2024, and returns to Capricorn
on January 13. Mercury during its retrograde cycle will move from 29° back down
to 22° Sagittarius. As a result, anyone who has their Sun in these degrees will
experience the conjunction as well as the retrograde cycle.
Mercury retrograde suggests a time for evaluating situations and making
plans. Many say that it is not a good time to move ahead with plans, but it is
a time to get ready to move ahead with these well-thought-out plans, once the
retrograde cycle is over.
Mars will be in direct motion and goes into Sagittarius on November 24
and moves through this sign entering Capricorn on January 4, 2024. Mars
is about drive and activity.
After Mercury has finished its cycle of retrogradation, those with this
connection in their chart can move ahead. Those that have an earlier
connection may find it somewhat challenging to move ahead as there may be
obstructions or delays along the way especially if natal Saturn is part of the
picture.
Sagittarius is about being attracted to wide open spaces and perhaps the
Sagittarian has been thinking about taking a vacation. This might be a
good time to travel but there may be some disruptions or delays along the way
because of Mercury. It should be noted however that unless you have
Mercury retrograde in your birth chart and it is affecting the natal
positioning of other planets, this energy is not overly powerful. Many individuals
feel no effects from Mercury retrograde, however many fear it unnecessarily. If
you are planning a holiday don’t worry about it and have some fun.
Sagittarians love to travel, have an open mind, and enjoy the great
outdoors. Sagittarians generally have an optimistic attitude and often
believe that the best is yet to come. They truly believe that there is
always something good right around the corner.
Sagittarius’ energies are about expansion and often these individuals
seem to have good luck following them around. Jupiter is the ruling
planet and brings with it fortunate conditions.
Life’s philosophies are important for Sagittarians, and they learn by
experience. The conquest for the truth is part of their journey, and they
learn from what they see in front of them due to their involvement.
Sagittarians are in it for the long haul but may be a little impatient
when things move too slowly. They are a fire sign and that should be
expected.
Excitement and enhanced experience are what these individuals
love. Some become the wanderers of the world, ever seeking life’s
magnificent experience. Others are the studious type always wanting to
learn more.
