Sagittarius Season- Finding higher meaning and rising above the masculine + feminine divide.

☼

Hello lovely readers and subscribers! Congratulations, you made it through the depths and darkness of Scorpio season! Many of us went to the depth to meet our own shadows.. bringing up themes of where our control issues manifest in our lives, what areas we may unconsciously use manipulation tactics, feeling every thing a little too deeply, and coming face to face with our obsessions. For those who have lost family or friends over the past year, this month may have opened up these wounds to allow you to grieve (Scorpio rules death and grieving). Through the process however, we now have come out stronger.. we now can rise from these ashes that we would rather leave behind.. becoming lighter, brighter, and ready to spread this light with the world.

A little recap of the month.. obviously we can’t avoid the elephant in the room with election results and world events. Many people who did not go down the rabbit hole of information the past couple of months, woke up to very surprising/shocking news with the elect of Donald Trump. This may have led people to become obsessed with figuring out how this could happen and feeling out of control of their lives. Many began to question the manipulation of the mainstream media who have been twisting the truth to their own narratives, leaving out the concerns of what majority of citizens have been experiencing over the past 4 years. This may have led these people down their own rabbit holes to start figuring out what the truth really is. On the flip side, this may have made people avoid the truth even more (Scorpio is a fixed sign—known to be stubborn) to give their body the ability to grieve what they thought would happen.. and will begin to look for more meaning in Sagittarius season. We are now in a new world.. but it won’t be concrete until the remainder of the collective planets (Uranus and Neptune) transit into Masculine signs in the spring of 2025. Pluto has JUST moved into Aquarius a couple days ago… bringing with it a MASSIVE wind storm (ruled by Aquarius). For those who are afraid of the new leadership of our neighbour, just know this is all apart of the astrological plan. With Pluto in Aquarius, our leadership will be more team focussed.. as Aquarius rules the collective. As you can see, that was part of the reason Donald Trump won.. as he ran with a team of people from different backgrounds and belief systems—which enticed the majority of American voters. As I mentioned in the previous newsletter, Pluto during Scorpio month was bringing up all corruption that has been ruled by bureaucracy.. all for it to be destroyed to build a new world. The system has been corrupt and these new leaders will be bringing in Aquarian themes over the next 20 years—innovation, technology, space travel, freedom and autonomy, evolution of science, and disclose hidden UFO files. We will see the rise of X and other alternative news and online collective spaces that will likely become a basis for evolving the voting system so that bills can pass through congress in a faster more Aquarian fashion.. The people will be deciding again.. rather than the government  The world we once knew is gone.. and this winter will be a period of gestation before the new world arises in spring 2025. If this news upsets you, take the time this winter to grieve.. as the planets will be supporting you in doing so. In the new year we will all need strength.. as the war will rage on between the collective and the higher powers. Whenever Pluto goes into Aquarius, there is a war between the common people and the powerful people.. we will all need strength. If you go back to my last newsletter, I said the full moon would have an “electrifying” vibe to it.. as Uranus (rules electricity) was involved. On that day, a troubled woman experiencing severe mental health was caught and rescued from getting stuck in a drain pipe at a power plant in the states. I am happy she is safe and I hope she finds the help she needs… however that is an example of how these things can play out with astrology. 

Sagittarius—the archer centaur of half man half horse. Why half horse and human? Because the horse legs symbolize the connection to the natural world.. while the human holding the bow and arrow symbolizes human knowledge and aiming your sights towards your goals.. cutting through blockages of material world and into the higher realm of knowledge. In other words looking for higher meaning in life, passed the everyday mundane. Sagittarius is associated with the myth of Chiron—the wounded healer. Chiron is known to be the healer and the teacher and the myth goes that he accidentally got shot by a poisoned arrow by Hercules and was unable to heal himself. He then exchanged his life and immortality to free Prometheus (check out my website to read about the story of Prometheus and it’s association with Uranian Aquarius). His soul was then placed in the stars and became the constellation of “Sagittarius”. This story is fascinating with the current events that are happening today and the unfolding of the current astrological times. Many of the mythological Gods do not give up their Godly power in order to help others in need—-mainly it is just Prometheus and Chiron. Because Donald Trump has his north node (souls destiny) conjunct Uranus (Prometheus) and his Sun (ego), he may be categorized as a Prometheus archetype. It makes me wonder if someone with a “Chiron” archetype may give up their life to save him—as there have already been assasination attempts.

With fire sign Sagittarius coming after Scorpio season, it’s here to shine light on the truths we discovered during Scorpio season. While Scorpio season left us obsessed with discovering unknown and hidden truths, Sagittarius is here to help us find meaning. During this season we are likely to penetrate truths to a higher perspective. It’s also a time where festivities start to occur.. we bring in nature from the outside in the likes of Christmas trees, yule logs, holly, mistletoe.. all to feel more connected to nature and brighten the inside of our homes. We start to see Christmas lights everywhere.. lighting up the dark late afternoons and evenings. Things feel lighter during this time and we are likely to indulge in socializing festivities, consuming many drinks, sweets, and warming foods. It’s like a reward for all the hard work we do in Scorpio season by diving deep into our shadows. For those who avoided doing the hard work.. they may move into more of Sagittarius’s shadow side—- excessive partying, substance use, overeating, and any other distractive indulging tendencies to avoid not dealing with their dark side. For most people however, many will find this season to be a welcomed change of energy. As Sagittarius is a mutable sign—we are able to change our perspectives easier, and allow ourselves to go with the flow. It’s the one period of winter where there is more light before we prepare ourselves to go back into the dark of Capricorn season. Since Sagittarius is known to be the “philosopher”, we are able to have deeper and more meaningful conversations with those around us. Some things associated with Sagittarius are: the teacher, the new god, the seeker, quest, expansive mind, journey, rising Phoenix, spiritual leader, spiritual growth, news from afar, the shepherd, the foreign traveler, levelling up, the archer, the dragon, understanding the source, the hunter, new vision, reincarnation, winters flame, robin hood, etc ect. It’s fitting that at this time in many traditions (like the yule log) are had.. where we keep the fire lit all month symbolizing the month of fire and light.

Taking this time to discuss and think about the higher meanings of our information and how that conflicts with old, rigid truths. Bridging more meaning between our egos and our emotions so that we don’t feel as polarized by what we see and how we feel. Challenging aspect for those who have been shocked by recent information and news—but with mercury involved..it’s a chance to alchemize this inner tension into higher understanding. Still tension in the air between the new leaders and old, secret, and corrupt leaders—-however we begin to feel slightly more at ease and confidence with this defeat. (this will not be gone however..and we will revisit this in winter 2025) (so enjoy it while you can). There will be a hidden, female wisdom to the changing of these current transformations that is taking more form. A female behind the scenes is helping to ease us into this new era of collective awakening. This moon is a great time for females to plant the seeds of the transformations they want to see within themselves and the world at large before the changing of the modern “New Year”. Females will begin helping other females through this new transition. A great time for females to revisit how the past 10 years have shaped them into who they are now. How they have reclaimed who they are, their emotions, and all the ancestral healing work they have done to become better versions of themselves. Masculine and Feminine elements may feel at odds at this time. The masculine is working on shaping information while the feminine is working on bringing form to the collective awakening and transitions ahead. The past will be a theme with Mercury retrograde being in place… information regarding the past. As Venus rules agriculture, we will see a collective rising of farmers during this time (something we already are seeing in places like France and the UK.

Hidden lady of dark power opposing new leader from the shadows. New leader goes backwards in their power. A manipulation of information between new power and hidden female power. More confusion comes into play here between our information systems with a blockage of how we make meaning to it. There is a restriction in it somehow and a lot of control behind the scenes not made to the public. Much more support towards feminine power regarding our information system. I see a lot of feminine uprising. In addition to this, Venus also represents agriculture which can symbolize the farm movement we are seeing world wide. Perhaps the news is very focussed on this at this time. How do we feel this personally? A lot of this energy lately is more collective than it is personal (although we VERY MUCH feel it as personal). There seems to again be a divide between the masculine and feminine in the world and within ourselves. A pull between the old and the new. Many people may be leaving their relationships because of this collective energy. As I have been telling people in personal readings this year… it’s hard to know what feelings are yours and what is collective at this time. Don’t make any hasty decisions and understand a lot of this energy is deep changes in the collective and it’s natural that there is a tension between masculine and feminine dynamics. Energy is always moving and it won’t last forever. Think about this before making any drastic changes to your personal lives. Rather, it’s a time to go inward and find our own inner power and make these changes in yourself rather than project it outward. Things are confusing this full moon with Neptune being involved. Best not to make life changing decisions at this time and focus on self spiritual work instead. Remember—-this is the winter of gestation. 

Summary:

☼

As with the previous months since Jupiter has been in Gemini (since beginning of summer), a lot of emphasis on our information will be forefront again. However this month will be a lot of revisiting information and going backwards towards something that may have been missed. An inner war between where we are heading with the new world and being forced to let go of the old world. Confusion will be at play and tension between the masculine and feminine. To use the energy this month wisely, try to embody what Sagittarius stands for—higher meaning. Try not to get sucked back into Scorpio energy and rise above toxic conflicts. Be your own philosopher and use this month to analyze any information you are getting yourself. Don’t take other peoples facts for face value… only you can find the truth you seek. Become the truth seeker and discover your own meanings. This makes you stronger and impenetrable from outside manipulation. Read philosophical books, go for many walks in nature, and remember to socialize and have FUN. The energy of Scorpio is passed… don’t go towards your shadow but rather make light of what your shadow has to offer. Transform it into the light. Look for the light. Be around fire.

Sagittarius rules the legs in astrology.. USE THEM. Get outside and go on many walks.. going on walks helps loosen up your mind so that you can take in new perspectives and look for higher meaning. Remember your back legs are horse legs—connected to nature—so be with nature. Go climb or hike a mountain and look to the peaks in the distance—find meaning. Bring nature inside and decorate your home. The ancients believed that conifers contain the light and fire element as their foliage remains green throughout the cold winter months. Bring inside cedar or fir branches that may have fallen during wind storms and decorate your home. Move your body as much as you can to get out any stuck energy from Scorpio season. Fire signs need movement so you’ll need plenty this month. As Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (planet of excess), make sure to not overindulge in too much toxic foods such as alcohol, sugar, and carbs. Be mindful in what you eat. Not to say you shouldn’t have them!! But everything in moderation… otherwise you will be starting out the New Year feeling icky and heavy. Rather use that craving towards moving energy through and out of your body by exercise and using your legs. Jupiter also rules the liver… so try your best to take care of it while participating in food and drink festivities. Below is a list of herbs and practises you can use to do so:

Thanks for reading everybody and I hope this lengthy astrological guide can prepare you for what to expect this month ahead. I just want to encourage everyone who may be struggling during this time to use this month for finding the light of meaning within their lives. The past 4 years have been incredibly rough for many and these astrological energy changes are wreaking havoc on many peoples mental health. Just know that the energy will shift and that stuck feeling will begin to change in Spring 2025. Hang in there and know that you are not alone in your emotions. This is a global change that impacts us all even if we are not all conscious of it. Try not to get to swept up in the politics and try to lean in on understanding we are just going through an earthly evolutionary shift. Any sort of change can feel threatening and scary.. and sometimes it is for a bit. But every pendulum will eventually come to stillness when the time is right. Love yourself, love others, forgive yourself, and forgive others. Set aside your differences and accept that everybody is at a different place of their own journey. True compassion is allowing differences to remain without trying to change them. So PLEASE love your families and friends at this time and try not to let the political times interfere with your relationships to those around you. Allow for shifts in perspective and you’ll be surprised how much we all have in common rather than our differences.

Lots of love,

Sydney
