: sagittarius - your year in the stars :
Astrologers give every sign a ruling planet. This means a planet that after a consideration of the characteristics it’s known for, is then associated especially with you. As a Sagittarius you like things big, you hate minor details and you despise smallness and meanness in every form. Your ruling planet is Jupiter because it’s the largest planet, at twice the size of all the other planets put together.

Jupiter is also the luckiest planet and ties in with your reputation as the most fortunate sign. The months from November 2006 through to December 2007 have been notable for the return of Jupiter to your own constellation and to its natural home. This would suggest a period during which to anticipate an amplification of the positive outcomes linked with both your planet and your sign. You might expect good luck, success, growth and abundance, plenty of happiness and often material prosperity as well, together with travel, education, meeting people from other parts of the world and other walks of life, plus a broadening of your horizons and perspective in lots of different ways.
Theoretically then, your astrological year from your birthday in 2006 to your birthday in 2007 should have been one of the best you’ve ever had, certainly since Jupiter left Sagittarius after its last stay back in January 1996. In practice this hasn’t always been the case though, because the picture is now complicated by Pluto. This was also true back then, although only for around five months, rather than a full thirteen like this time. Also beforehand, Pluto was a newcomer to your sign and it’s a planet that derives much of its strength from the slow, grinding way in which it applies itself. If you bear in mind that thirteen years later it still hasn’t left you and moved on, you’ll start to appreciate what an impact it can have.

In addition, there wasn’t an exact conjunction of these two powerful bodies the last time they met, as is now the case on December 11 when they align together in the sky. This heightens their influence and it’s like a crescendo, as if they’ve saved the best (and worst!) of themselves for last. Jupiter leaves Sagittarius a week later and Pluto moves on, at least temporarily, in January 2008.

Pluto in a way also means growth like Jupiter, but you can forget the fun angle because it’s a lot more serious. It makes you look very deeply at yourself, where you’ve come from and the sort of influences that have made you. It makes you question the fundamental elements of your life and forces you to strip everything down to the barest essentials, almost to the stage where you thought there was nowhere left for you to go. Subsequently though you can move forwards with more meaning, less baggage and a feeling of greater authenticity. Combined with the jollity, good humour and often light-hearted nature of Jupiter, this can potentially be a very good move indeed. During your current year, the emphasis shifts away from your sign as some of the more difficult experiences you’ve been suffering under are reduced.
: sagittarius - november 2007/november 2008 :
Pluto returns in the middle of June 2008, stays until November and is then gone for good. During the five months from the end of January to June 2008 and from December 2007 onwards for Jupiter, both planets impact on a new part of your life and affect your financial situation based on the revised outlook that you now have. Saturn is at the top of your horoscope and remains there throughout the year, while Jupiter shows that material good fortune is most likely in the stars for you. Saturn elevated like this is the culmination of a thirty year cycle and one of the best placings you can possibly have. Providing you are ready to discipline yourself, to demonstrate the commitment you have shown this far and to keep working towards your objectives, both Jupiter and Saturn will ensure that career success is yours, with the same in store for your aims and ambitions generally. Dodge the issue though and you’ll be in trouble, even this combination won’t stretch forever…

Meanwhile Pluto shows that there is still more change to come, although you won’t feel the full brunt for several years. Largely it’ll focus around your home and family where despite your obvious compassion you are maybe not looking at things as clearly as you might. If in any way you are feeling restricted at home, that your situation is unstable or that you are no longer happy where you are, then sooner or later you will need to make a break for it. This year matters will be most fraught during the long stay of Mars in Cancer and then retrograde into Gemini, impacting on your relationship sector right through from September 2007 until May 2008. If you’re contented at home there’s nothing to worry about, but if you’re not, you’re going to have to do something. Partnership issues will often be the stimulus for your need to act.
