What to Expect During Sagittarius Season 2023
Sagittarius season begins when the sun moves into the sign of The Archer on November 22, 2023, and lasts until December 21, 2023, when it moves into the grounded and practical energy of Capricorn. During the next few weeks, you'll feel more closely aligned with the energy and traits that curious and clever Sagittarius is known for. As we move from one astrological season into the next, it marks a time of transformation in a person's personal and spiritual growth. Scorpio season was a chance to shed nearly two years of drama, pain, and hardship. Now, Sagittarius season says to prioritize your long-term desires over instant gratification to achieve your dreams.

Mars enters Sagittarius
The month begins with Mars entering Sagittarius on November 24, 2023. Mars is the warrior planet that governs motivation, drive, and ambition. While Mars is in Sagittarius from November 24, 2023, to January 4, 2024, it's a chance to try something new for the first time and then brag to everyone about what you learn. If you've been feeling a lack of energy and enthusiasm, this upcoming Mars transit in Sagittarius may be just what you need to bring that spark back into your life. With the sun (ego), Mercury (communication), and Mars (focus) all in enterprising Sagittarius, your rough ideas can become fully fleshed-out creations right before your very eyes. It doesn't have to be perfect; you have to start.
Full Moon in Gemini
Things will take a messy turn during the full moon in Gemini on November 27, 2023. In astrology, full moons represent moments of clarity and truth. When the moon opposes the sun in the night sky, it's a chance to separate your ego from your emotions. Usually, this shows up as self-reflection and internal spiritual work–but this full moon could have you feeling a little loose with your words, thanks to Mars and Mercury's influence. Things will feel cavalier and carefree leading up to the Gemini full moon, which could backfire if you're not careful. Luckily, this full moon is forming a square to Saturn in Pisces, reminding you that honest mistakes are part of learning. Do: try to laugh off any mishaps or mistakes. Don't: double down when you do something embarrassing–it'll only make things worse!

Venus enters Scorpio
After spending the last month in her rulership, Venus will leave Libra and move into Scorpio on December 4, 2023. Venus is the planet of love, romance, passion, and money–and over the next three and a half weeks, the stars want you to invest in your relationship with yourself. Last month, Venus felt the pressure from its conjunction with the South Node of Destiny and its opposition to Chiron in Aries. This transit was a slow awakening and illuminated how you deserve better. Now, Venus in Scorpio is reminding you that peace is the ultimate prize. Admitting that your close relationships were toxic can be isolating at first, but finding your way back to yourself ensures you are never truly lost in life.
Neptune direct in Pisces
Just when you thought you had things figured out–Neptune stations direct in Pisces on December 6, 2023, and it's calling your entire reality into question. For the last five months, this dreamy illusionist has slowly eroded the life you once knew. This transit happens so gradually, thanks to the mutable energy of Pisces that most people can't see the shifting tides until after Neptune comes to a direct halt. This gas giant creates a hazy and uncertain atmosphere around anything it touches. And when Neptune takes a cosmic backspin, and your focus is obscured, it isn't easy to see all the progress you're making in the moment. With Neptune back on its regular journey, you can appreciate the changes that have taken place. You made it through on faith; it's time to wake up your power.

New Moon in Sagittarius
On December 12, 2023, the final new moon of the year takes place in Sagittarius, encouraging you to take a leap of faith. New moons are all about fresh starts, looking ahead to the future, embracing change, and beginning anew. This lunation marks the start of a new moon cycle that will unfold over the next month and into 2024. Think of this as a chance to jump-start your New Year's resolutions. As you search for something greater than yourself, the new moon in Sagittarius reminds you that you don't need to make drastic changes in every area of your life to keep things interesting. You can always try new things, change your opinions, and return to your old ways when it makes sense while continuing to evolve and mature. Remember, life has no rules, so don't limit yourself.
Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn
On December 1, 2023, Mercury will enter Capricorn, marking the start of the two-week period before it goes retrograde on December 13, 2023. This will be the final Mercury retrograde of the year and will continue until January 1, 2024. During this retrograde, Mercury will begin in Capricorn and end in Sagittarius, being influenced by both Saturn (structure) and Jupiter (luck). With these two planets working together, you may feel more motivated to take calculated risks. This is a perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what changes you can make as you look ahead to the new year. Retrogrades allow you to make edits to your current plan or completely rewrite the future. Be sure to use this energy to your advantage when planning your resolutions for 2024.
