The desire to live
Prepare your backpacks and trail mix as Mars roams the wide open areas of Sagittarius from November 24th to January 4th. Whatever study pursuits and life adventures you’ve put on hold, it’s time to re-enter them. The most difficult element of the coming months will be deciding where to direct our ambition’s arrows first. Mars in this variable fire sign has the ability to disperse its force — or to play fast and loose with the facts. Any explorer understands that a voyage begins with a clear aim (and a well-stocked supply list), so focus your efforts on plans that promise a bounty of discoveries. And enjoyable.

Mars in Sagittarius hits his first roadblock on November 25th, when he squares Saturn, the planet of obstacles. Saturn in Pisces’ dirt patch is no match for even your four wheel drive. Fortunately, Sagittarius has the ability to think on the move. To reinvigorate our zest for life, we sometimes need to stray from our regular path.
Consider the following three months to be your opportunity to travel until you find “the thing” that truly ignites your soul. Whether it’s taking individual French lessons, seeing a new portion of your town, or learning to make the perfect pie crust, be open to tasks that take you away from your normal circuits. Even changing your white socks for ones with flames might change the course of your day.

Aries & Rising Aries
Sling the arrows of your loftiest ambitions as Mars enters Sagittarius, knowing that the ones meant for you will find their mark. Your capacity to zoom out will keep your passions alive in the coming weeks, from arranging the stations on your Eurail journey to mapping the coordinates of your life’s broader goal.
Your mind requires space to wander, so don’t confine yourself to a single section of the library or podcast genre. Make an effort to branch out from your normal teachers. Wisdom can come from anybody – the barista, your cat, the grandmother you’ve been meaning to call — especially when you listen as passionately as you preach.
As much as your curiosity is and will be piqued, make time for study breaks and for the downloads to simmer. The actual adventure awaits you in your digressions, side missions, and footnotes.

As Mars enters Sagittarius, tend to the flames of your material exchanges, collaborations, and financial arrangements. If you’ve previously struggled with self-advocacy, the coming weeks will help you focus your convictions in all your mergers.
When your morale needs boosting, a wide-angle lens is just as essential as your magnifying glass. Plan your next brainstorming session or financial consultation in the lizard terrarium or observatory. The novelty of your surroundings allows you to embrace the more lighthearted side of co-creation.
Even when the stakes are high in life’s mergers, there is always room for levity. Also, laughter.
And if you feel like you’re carrying too much of the load, don’t let it fester. By proactively changing your common mission statement, you will provide the oxygen this fire requires.

As Mars enters Sagittarius, it’s time to take the broad road, side-saddle. Laughter, intellectual debate, and bursts of silliness will liven up your 1:1 dynamics in the coming weeks. Love and connection don’t have to be so serious all of the time.
So sign up for that life drawing class with your significant other, or plan a spontaneous road trip with your bestie to visit the oddest flea markets. Not to mention the round of twenty questions at the roadside diner. In fact, starting difficult conversations with a joke makes them easier to bear. So make a commitment to learning something new about your partner every day.
And, if tempers and passions flare, take some time to calm off. To feed the flames of your most critical contacts, a little oxygen is required.
But, by all means, go for the thrill.

Fan the flames of your life’s boiler room as Mars enters Sagittarius. It’s time to lay the groundwork for a wider objective centered on your work and wellness habits. And to break out from your normal wellness rituals or working ways, particularly if you’ve seen yourself grabbing for your phone when in corpse pose.
Let your enthusiasm guide your process in the following weeks, whether you’re beginning a blog to track your fitness journey or defining the philosophical arc of your work. Explore modalities outside of your usual comfort zone, and accept your blunders as smart teachers.
Adventure awaits you on the learning curve.

Allow the spirit of study and adventure to feed your creative fire as Mars enters Sagittarius. Give your muses sparklers and carry out your most outrageous ideas ever. Blast punk rock while you scratch your canvases and promise to insult at least one person.
If you’ve been playing it safe as a creator, burn or recycle the behaviors that have been limiting your artistic freedom. Whether it’s a perfectionist streak or neglecting to arrange play time, throw these habits on the funeral pyre in the coming weeks.
After that, visit a local art fair to acquire ideas. Allowing fun into the process will attract your masterpiece.

Virgo & Rising Virgo
As Mars enters Sagittarius, it’s time to focus your motivation. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to do some serious DIYing.
Allow your backyard to be a location of inquiry and learning in the coming weeks, whether you’re excavating next year’s vegetable rows, recycling outmoded ancestral narratives, or increasing roommate morale with a storytelling hour over smores.
Your ancestors’ stories (or family gossip) are ready for study, so set up a Zoom date with your favorite grandparent. Or look through the archives at your local library.
Even something as basic as making a daily gratitude note of everything that makes you feel anchored will rekindle your sense of belonging.
Cast your arrows broad if you’re still looking for the roost that will help you grow. Leave no stone untouched when it comes to house shares, sublets, or canal boats. They’ll bring you to the house or co-inhabitants who excite you.

Your reading lists, cafe visits, and social media threads are going to expand.
Dare to perceive your regular interactions as vehicles for learning, whether an arcane meme leads you down a rabbit hole or a podcast challenges your bigger assumptions. Bring your spicier questions to the cafe and join in on the day’s debates.
Just make sure to give your hottest takes and counter-points plenty of time to cool over the next few weeks. You don’t always have to respond with receipts and facts. In fact, quiet (or that tension-relieving joke) may be your most effective rebuttal yet.

It’s time to broaden your definition of what abundance means to you. Count the immaterial benefits that make you feel rich, whether it’s the light on your cheeks or the balm of nourishing connections.
But also consciously make room for life’s honey. Throw the ultimate garage sale or give items that no longer bring you joy. Invite your friends over for a speedrun clothes swap and some friendly competition. And a fashion show to boost your score.
Parse through the data if there are any areas of your money where you tend to gloss over the real picture. Enlist the assistance of a money witch to help you fix your most stubborn money myths and beliefs.
You’ll balance faith with facts if you back everything up with paper trails and mission statements.

Sagittarius and the Sagittarius Rising Bravery? Check. Conviction? Check. Charisma? You’ve got it — and then some. Whether you’re planning a solo backpacking trip for self-discovery or your first political campaign, follow your heart and sling those arrows without hesitation.
Just keep in mind that charting a risky personal road does not imply losing touch with others. Take the temperature of the room before taking any steps forward. Exchange field notes with fellow seekers and hold each other accountable as you travel the path less traveled.
You can avoid burning out or scattering your energy by discussing your goals with a friend, therapist, or mentor in the coming weeks. In fact, choosing your own adventure is the most daring thing you can do. Not the one that others envision for you.

Your batteries will be recharged best behind closed doors, so stock up on earplugs and adorn your “do not disturb” sign. Make your most dreamy herbal sleep tincture yet. Bring out your psychoanalysis books and schedule some time to investigate your psyche’s caves and gullies.
Starting now and continuing for the next few weeks, let your courage be your torch as you burn the habits and patterns that no longer serve you. Whether it’s an unkind way of talking to yourself or that 4 p.m. coffee that keeps you awake, realize that even the most persistent habits can be changed with persistence.
And self-compassion is your best lubricant for righting these ships.
Reward yourself with a candlelight bath for every hour spent on your therapist’s couch or with your journal. You’ll learn where to aim the flames of your focus by examining your inner world.

As Mars enters Sagittarius, you won’t be able to create a true rabble or ruckus without your most carefree companions. And your folks may be lurking on the outskirts of polite society, so dare to strike up a conversation with that mingling group of hedge witches at the esoteric shoppe.
Invite your favorite life-seekers, jesters, and armchair philosophers on your upcoming trips if you don’t want to tackle it alone. Hitch yourself to a wagon even if you have no idea where it’s headed, and remain on for as long as the collective journey feels energizing.
Co-creation will refresh your zest for life, whether you join a local improv group or a band of fire-breathers.

Pisces & Rising Pisces
As Mars enters Sagittarius, your bravery, enthusiasm, and eagerness to study are swinging open favorable doors. So, even when things go wrong, see every job interview, big debut, or brush with the outside world as an educational moment. Then dare to discover the comedy in your blunders.
Your ability to transform fear into fuel will carry you far beyond your day-to-day life. In reality, a little “chaos mode” goes a long way, so allow your enthusiasm to carry you even if you don’t feel completely prepared for your big moment.
Whether you’ve discovered your genuine calling in storytelling or have decided to return to school to pursue your ideal position, try perceiving your professional environment like an eagle: by taking in the large picture and recognizing possibilities on the outskirts.
Dare to enter the DMs of your future free-wheeling collaborators in the coming weeks as well. Refuse to get stuck in a rut in your career. Every victory is preceded by a leap of faith.
