Symbolized by the Half Archer Half Horse and Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius is the sign of Beliefs, Higher Learning and Philosophy.
The Moon joins the Sun and reflects none of its light. This is a time to create your own source of light in the form of a new idea or journey to embark on. New Moons are the beginning of a new lunar cycle that lasts 28 days. For the next 15 days, the Moon's glow will grow bigger and brighter each day as it waxes towards the Full Moon.
The waxing moon is an increasing energy that encourages growth and an active approach. This is a time when new ideas develop into reality. All you have to do is keep taking the next step each time. By keeping the progress going, you are growing with the Moon.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a dual masculine fire sign ruled by Jupiter. Sagittarius is associated with the 9th house of higher learning, spirituality, and expansion. This is opposite the 3rd house of communication and the immediate environment.
Sagittarius represents where we seek truth and meaning beyond our local sphere. As a masculine sign, it's active and expressive, pushing outward to explore and understand the bigger picture. The axis of Gemini and Sagittarius shows the tension between gathering information (Gemini) and synthesizing it into wisdom (Sagittarius).
If this balance is disrupted, we can become dogmatic or lose sight of practical details. The dynamic between Gemini and Sagittarius reveals how we process and share knowledge, from casual conversation to philosophical truth-seeking.
The dual quality makes Sagittarius adaptable but potentially scattered when pursuing multiple paths of inquiry. Jupiter's rulership brings optimism and the desire for growth, though this can manifest as overconfidence or restlessness.
Ruled by Jupiter
Jupiter is a benefic planet governing wisdom, abundance, and expansion. As ruler of Sagittarius (and Pisces), Jupiter represents optimism, knowledge-seeking, and spiritual growth. Jupiter's nature shifts based on its relationship to the Lagna—it can be either friendly or hostile to the Ascendant.
The Lagna's relationship with Jupiter influences how one experiences Jupiter-ruled transits and houses, particularly during New Moons in Sagittarius. Jupiter's expansive quality can manifest as either opportunity and growth or excess and overindulgence, depending on this relationship.
When well-placed, Jupiter brings good fortune, spiritual understanding, and material prosperity. It supports dharmic action and helps one recognize life's teachings.
Opposite to Sagittarius is the sign of Gemini.
