Happy Birthday, Sagittarius!

Before we get into this, I have to tell you that my very favorite Sagittarius of all has a birthday and I know she’s in excellent company. Be sure to pop over to our Facebook page and tell Occult Expert and your Mistress of All Things Tarot, Jen Devillier, Happy Birthday! Her birthday is on November 23. The Sun moves into Sagittarius generally from November 22nd until December 23rd, depending on what year it is.

A moment for me to tell you about Jen, if I may, from the perspective of someone who knows her pretty well. Jen and I did not get along very well when we met: my hard-nosed, stubborn and sometimes admittedly sanctimoniously inflexible Capricorn nature met her rebellious love-driven pride, and there were clashes. Now, my Venus happens to be in Sagittarius, and I have always thought that kinda gave me a soft spot for the Archer, but boooooy, there are some big differences between Sagittarius and Capricorn. We certainly have seen those come into play over the course of our friendship.

Sagittarians as you may know tend to be quite cheerful, upbeat and optimistic for the most part. They’re brave explorers, seeking out the next new frontier in most things, and it was hard for me to resist her fire. (Which happens to be Sagittarius’s ruling element.) But, my super serious traditionalist nature clashed with her innovative and upbeat nature just a bit.

Over time, I have not only learned so much from her, but I consider her to be one of my best friends and biggest supporters. I, too, support her without reservation. I have some high aspirations and ambitions, but I also had that famous gloomy Saturn thing going, and she just would not let me get away with it. Ever. Nor would she allow me to give into fear and this is why Sagittarians are such powerful, powerful people. Jen is a powerhouse, and our combination of personalities came together in such a way that not only are we ever supportive, we’re also not afraid to keep one another in check. That is a gift that Sagittarius has beyond compare, I think. The ability to cheerlead without allowing you to make excuses.

Sagittarius decans are as follows:

  • Decan 1: Those born between November 22- December 1
  • Decan 2: Those born between December 2 -December 11
  • Decan 3: Those born between December 12- December 21

Sagittarius is the 9th sign in the zodiac, and it’s associated with the constellation of the same name. It’s based on Chiron, the centaur best known for being the wounded healer, the wild-yet-wise centaur that taught Achilles and other heroes, and whose wisdom allowed him to form the pathway between the heavens and the Earth. I will write more on Chiron at a later time because there’s also an asteroid discovered by the American astronomer, Charles Kowal, in 1977 that also has astrological significance.

Now, for the rest of us, when the Sun moves into Sagittarius? We are coming out of the darker, more mysterious and often oh-so-serious Scorpio into sunnier times. Trying new things, exploring either figuratively or literally, and enjoying yourself a bit are definitely encouraged, as is adopting a much more optimistic outlook. Candor in your words, also a thing. The only caution here is to be careful of impulsive or reckless behaviors as well as being just a little too blunt. You can speak your truth without hurting others and in doing so, create a positive feedback loop of awesome. Trust me, this is a lesson Jen taught me, and she can teach you, too.
