Sun enters Sagittarius on Tuesday, shortly after 11 am EST. The ingress will extend and build on a pattern that started with the Libra equinox. That trend is a coming together, precipitating an unconventional awareness of connection. The sky has witnessed Sol constantly in common juncture with an uncommon aggregate of other objects as it passed first through Libra, then Scorpio. In our lives we have seen people assemble as if in harmony with the heavens, dwelling together in possibility, awakening to potential. As the solar archetype of consciousness assumes the countenance of mutable fire, the season will reach a challenging climax that will forge a new field of opportunity.
The outcome is not ordained, but, one way or another you will have a role in its determination, depending on how you direct own vital flame. In the sign of Sagittarius, the element of fire reaches maturity. A spontaneous conflagration initiates clearance but consumes that which sustains it. An intentional flame provides a circle of illumination and warmth that asserts itself into the world for a time but leaves only ash. In containment and cultivation, fire transcends its own existence by facilitating transformations that endure long after the heat has subsided. Thus the metamorphic meme of Scorpio is extended to manifest something we can carry into a new season.
The mutable quality of Sagittarius puts us on notice that a new season is indeed coming. It is a challenge to adjust to, then release, a paradigm of being in the world. It is that very protocol, however that nourishes and tempers our adaptability. It helps to see the process as a long cycle that can climb even as it turns. Unlike the repetitive, which is given by Earth’s motion, the elevation must be attained. The means of that accomplishment lie in what we conserve from one phase to build on in the next. That entails sorting and selection. What the Sun encounters in Sagittarius will in some way parallel the opportunities that will present themselves to each of us. The most salient awareness will be of what works for all of us.
