Visible Planets:
Morning: Saturn
Evening: Venus and Jupiter

Giving thanks and feeling grateful are gifts of grace. In our ever-changing world and apparently faltering global economy, it’s easy to fall victim to fear, anxiety and insecurity. And yet, we all have so much to be thankful for. Abundance is key to the Sagittarian ethic, and ‘tis the season of the Archer.

Finding comfort and discovering the joy in life’s most simple pleasures – fresh air, clean water, solar warmth and food on the table are just a few – bring us to a place of celestial harmony and open the doors of divinity. The cosmic essence of any particular time is constellated in the heavens and can be experienced via the energetic expression of the tropical zodiac sign in orb at the time.

As the Sun moves into mutable fire and the holiday season begins, it’s both our job and our mission to open our hearts and put our minds to work on exploring the multi-faceted realms of gratitude. Change negative thoughts into positive thinking and become a co-creator of magic and miracles. And keep your eyes to the skies at twilight and early evening, as magnificent planet Jupiter – the Sagittarian ruler – and dazzling Venus move ever closer toward conjunction on Dec. 1^st. Happy, happy and may the force of these two great benefics carry you through the holidays with love, grace and beauty.

Libra
(Sep.21-Oct.21)
As lunar light wanes and solar rays weaken, take a good look at the ways you perceive and define reality. Examine thoughts and explore emotions. What’s the connection between thinking and feeling?

Ask for the willingness to let go of self-criticism, the courage to change and the grace to accept what comes.

Scorpio
(Oct.22-Nov.21)
The second month of your solar new year begins as the Sun leaves seductive Scorpio and enters enthusiastic Sagittarius.
