The Sun visits a new zodiac sign every thirty days or so. During each “season” we all feels the influence of the current astrological energy. Sagittarius season begins around November 19th and last until about December 21st. During this time each year, we all experience this mutable energy. Allow it to enhance and influence your magic.

The Centaur

Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur carrying a bow and arrow. The Centaur is a creature with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human. Generally, the image of Sagittarius is of the Centaur with four hooves planted firmly on the ground as it points an arrow toward the heavens. This archetype is a grounded and curious philosopher who values knowledge and has a firm grasp on reality. The energy is about sharpening your mental arrow so that you are always ready to use them to shoot for the stars.

The Archer is another symbol often used to represent the Sagittarius archetype. This image of a taut bow and aimed arrow reminds us that we can take aim to the best of our ability, but once we loose the arrow, we must trust that it will land on it’s mark.

Sagittarius’ Domain

The Sagittarius archetype is perfectly encompassed as the earthbound adventurer. Sagittarius energy seeks spirituality and new ideas.

Diana, the Goddess of the Hunt, has an affinity to Sagittarius. As do deer and small animals of the enchanting forest. Sagittarius energy is about seeking wisdom out in unique places and from different sources. This archetype travels the world hunting new experiences, philosophies of life and generally learning all it can.

Fire Element

The element of a zodiac sign reveals the basic temperament of the sign. There are four zodiac elements, with three zodiac signs belonging to each element group. The elements are interchangeably called "triplicities;" this is because there are three (triple) signs per element. The four elements are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.

Sagittarius is a fire sign. Fire signs respond to energy very quickly. They favor action. They are confident, idealistic, intense, and approach life with zest and enthusiasm. Here is energy to conquer, lead, and travel physically and mentally.

Unlike the first spark of Aries that must act and the roaring flames of Leo, the grand leader, the fire of Sagittarius is more like the smoldering coals of enlightenment and exploration.

Mutable Quality

The qualities, also called "modes," or “modalities,” indicate how a sign responds to stimuli, and especially how they act under tension. They indicate how the signs express their element, meaning the mode of behavior they use to express the element needs. There are three qualities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also called "quadruplicities" because there are 4 signs per group.

Sagittarius is a Mutable sign. Mutable signs are the most unstable and most open to influence by the environment. The mode of activity is to make the transition from the old to the new, opening the way for the Cardinal Signs to begin a new cycle. The energy is infinitely flexible and tolerant, with a natural easy when it comes to letting go.

Where Cardinal signs begin new things, and Fixed signs sustain things, Mutable energy loosens structures and adapts it to new and changing conditions.

Sagittarius desires adventure and insight, because this energy is easily bored. When things become routine or predictable, it’s time to move on to the next distraction. This is the trailblazer sign, stirring things up and making space for something new.

Spiritual Awakening

Sagittarius is a reminder of your spiritual connection to the divine. A relationship with some aspect of the divine, however you see it, can be deeply rewarding. Whether you interact with a specific godform or an abstract concept, putting a face or name to the magical power can make it easier to build a relationship with the divine.

Spirituality looks different for every single one of us. This journey is highly personal and will likely result in different outcomes. Sagittarius energy can help you figure out your spiritual beliefs and celebrate the journey you are on.

Maybe you understand your spiritually or maybe you haven’t spent much time thinking about it. Wherever you are in your journey, what you believe—both consciously and subconsciously—impacts how you experience life.

Consider how your beliefs impact your understanding of yourself, other people, the world around you and how you engage with nature, morality, evil, and the afterlife.

Now, here are a few things to remember while to are exploring your own spiritual belief.

Feel Supported and Guided

First, spirituality is meant to support and guide you in your life. It should be joyful and celebratory. If when you think about your spirituality you feel lack, disconnect, misery or some other unhelpful emotion, you might want to rethink how you are exploring your spirituality and reevaluate your spiritual practice in a way that makes it rewarding.

Learn From Others

Remember that there are billions of people who have lived before you who have tried to understand their spirituality as well. It is well worth it to explore the writings and teachings of our ancestors from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.

Your spiritual journey is unique and you get to decide what you accept into your belief system and what you reject. Following the teachings of others blindly or without thinking critically can lead you down the wrong path. Trust your intuition.

Personalize It

Wherever you are right now is where you are meant to be on your spiritual journey. Allow room for your unique character traits, interests, values, concerns, and life experiences. These can help you understand what you believe about the Universe and whether you still want to hold the beliefs you have now.

Ask for Help

It’s okay to ask for help and guidance. Whether you ask for help from a teacher, a friend or family member, or from the divine source of your power, asking can help you focus on what you actually want to know.

Experiment and Practice

Experiment with different spiritual practices until you find something that suits you, with care so you are not appropriating practices. Then practice it until you understand the purpose and the outcome.

Accept the Unknown

Finally, spirituality is full of unanswered questions. It is a journey to answer the unknown and a pursuit of answering questions. Many questions will lead you only to more questions. Just know that there are some answers humans are incapable of understanding fully.

Sagittarius Season

Sagittarius Season tends to feel lighter than the Scorpio Season, which comes before, and the Capricorn Season that’s ahead. It’s a perfect opportunity to focus on aiming your arrow in the direction of fun, lightness, and laughter so you can relax and enjoy the journey.

This is your call to action!

Focus on what brings you joy and prioritize it in your life. Seek adventure, travel, learn new things, and allow yourself to feel excited about the possibilities of life.

The time to lighten your load, celebrate all you have learned throughout this year, and trust the direction of your arrow is now.
