The Sun God has now moved into the sign of Sagittarius, joined by the magnanimous planet, Jupiter, bringer of Divine blessings, both encouraging all of us to claim our birth right - to experience joy, and goodness in life to the fullest. Yes, my dear Sagittarius friend, you should feel especially blessed having a divine ruling planet such as Jupiter -- which often makes you a RISK TAKER, as there’s a deep belief that you are favored by the gods. But, like any other sign, your sign also possesses other temperaments.

The symbol of Sagittarius is the Archer, who aims his arrow into the air without knowing its target. The Romans associated this sign with Diana, Goddess of the Bow, who led the horse riding Amazonians in the Black Sea area - where the matriarchal shrine was located. The women were the warriors while the men, the Goddess’s consorts, were the Lords of the Hunt.  Thus, the Centaur symbol appeared (half human and half animal), carrying a bow and arrow aiming high to the heavens - symbolizing an attempt to liberate himself from the bondage of the lower nature or mortality to become “Who He Already Is”. One of the keywords for Sagittarius is “I Seek” …what you perceive as your Truth.

For most of you, Sagittarius friends, the game of speculations makes your life interesting. A far visionary, you my dear, are willing to take chances on almost anything, including your intimate life - something that presents difficulty in relationships. Some of you believe in “the More the Better” thinking, regardless of the consequences, whether it pertains to accumulating wealth, spiritual learning, or travels of the mind and/or, of the physical body. Extroverted and outspoken, you Sagittarius friend, have unerring ability to hit the weakest point of the other with your arrow - the spoken word. Be a Sport, you say… but, be reminded that an arrow’s wound can be so deep into the soul, teaching You, the Divine Hunter, to verify your desire for Truth. The consciously evolved strive for MODERATION - the middle path towards wisdom and understanding.  

Have a Blessed Birthday!
