Sagittarius Season 2024: Double Retrograde Energy Inspires the Inner Quest
Hello, and welcome to my website! Below is the transcript for the video I created on my YouTube channel about what to expect during Sagittarius Season 2024.
Today, I’m here to talk about Sagittarius season 2024. This is one of the most transformative solar seasons of the entire year, and you’ll hear why. There are a few reasons for this, but I invite you to always take these transits in the most positive way. My style is inspirational but also realistic because, at the end of the day, we need to hear how certain transits are harder than others. Harder doesn’t mean impossible or bad. In this post, I will go over the most important transits—pretty much all the most important ones—over the course of the four weeks the Sun will be in Sagittarius.
Sagittarius Season 2024 Overview
Sagittarius season spans from November 21 to December 20 2024.
This is one of the most important seasons because we’ll experience two natal planets in retrograde. Natal planets are the ones closest to Earth. These retrogrades include:
Mercury Retrograde: The third Mercury retrograde of 2024: November 25 to December 15.
Mars Retrograde: A rare retrograde event: December 6-February 23.
Activations of Saturn: When Saturn is activated, it’s time to get serious in the pursuit of our goals!
Sagittarius season will be transformative, much like Scorpio season, but in a different way. Expect the universe to ask you to shift and transform. The good news is that Sagittarius, being a mutable fire sign, brings adaptability and celebration. This zodiac sign is known for its vitality, and this time of year often feels celebratory—whether it’s because of New Year’s or Christmas. While I don’t personally celebrate Christmas, this fire sign’s energy fosters excitement and adaptability.
Key Energy of Sagittarius Season
Sagittarius’ mutable fire energy will help you adapt to changes. It’s malleable and supports you in embracing transformation, regardless of your sign. Instead of searching for answers outside of yourself, direct the fire inward, towards the inner search, the inner quest!
Sagittarius Season 2024 : Astrological Highlights
November 21, 2024: Sagittarius season begins at 11:56 a.m. Pacific Time.
November 22, 2024: Venus in Capricorn forms a sextile with Saturn in Pisces.
This is a great day for career-related matters like strategizing, pitching ideas, or seeking promotions.
Venus represents money, and Saturn represents authority figures, so this aspect encourages professional growth and financial discussions.
Saturn went direct on November 15, 2024, so developments in your career might start speeding up.
This aspect is favorable for career and professional matters. Venus in Capricorn brings a business-focused energy, while Saturn in Pisces, recently out of retrograde, supports solidifying strategies. This could be a good day for career advancements, pitching ideas to superiors, or pushing forward personal business plans.
Saturn's role with authority and Venus's connection to money makes it a good time to ask for a raise or to confidently show your professional worth.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius (November 25th - December 15th):
The third Mercury retrograde of 2024, taking place in Sagittarius, presents potential challenges, especially in communication and travel. Sagittarius, a mutable fire sign, is impulsive and broad-minded, while Mercury in Gemini (Sagittarius's opposite) prefers facts and details. This creates a disconnect that can lead to mistakes or confusion.
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius might make people overly focused on big ideas while neglecting details, so it’s crucial to be careful with documents, emails, and communications. Take your time, avoid major purchases, and be cautious with travel plans (especially during the holiday season). While Mercury retrograde can have some disruptions, it’s also a time for rethinking and revising, not a time to halt progress entirely.
Sun in Sagittarius Sextile Mars in Leo (November 27th):
This aspect brings a burst of energy and motivation, perfect for finishing projects or tying up loose ends before the end of the year. With both the Sun and Mars in fire signs, there's strong momentum, ideal for creative or physically demanding tasks.
However, this energy should be utilized before Mars goes retrograde, as it will be a time to reassess actions and efforts, rather than pushing forward aggressively.
Dark Moon Phase (November 27th, leading into the New Moon):
The dark moon phase, which occurs just before the new moon, is typically a time of rest, reflection, and preparation. The energy may feel low for many, though some could feel a surge of excitement depending on their personal charts. This phase sets the stage for new intentions or projects that will align with the energy of the upcoming new moon.
New Moon in Sagittarius (November 30th) at 9° Sagittarius:
This new moon calls for an inward quest, rather than the typical outward exploration associated with Sagittarius. While Sagittarius usually encourages adventure, travel, and learning, this year's energy is about deep inner reflection. With Mercury retrograde and Mars soon to follow, the focus shifts to personal transformation and understanding one's role in a changing world.
Questions to ask yourself during this new moon include: What do I truly want? What energy do I have for the future, and what am I ready to let go of? The trine with Mars in Leo adds an inner fire, encouraging us to ignite personal passion and begin this process of self-excavation and renewal.
. Pallas Athena Enters Capricorn (November 30th):
Pallas Athena, the asteroid associated with strategy, wisdom, and feminine energy, moves into Capricorn on the same day as the new moon. This positioning brings a strategic focus to career and business matters.
This period (November 30th to February 16th) is perfect for revisiting business strategies, adapting to a shifting world, and rethinking future goals. It's a time to channel your inner strategist and navigate the changing landscape of industries, which are either evolving or collapsing in some cases. If needed, hiring a strategist can help with this process.
. Mercury Retrograde Trine Chiron in Aries (December 1st):
A Mercury retrograde trine with Chiron, the healer, in Aries suggests the potential for healing old wounds, particularly those related to masculine energy. This is a time for revisiting past conversations, relationships, or situations that may bring up hurt or unresolved feelings.
The trine indicates a flow of healing energy, encouraging us to break free from repetitive patterns and seek healthier outcomes in relationships or personal stories that have resurfaced.
.Venus Trine Uranus in Taurus (December 2nd):
Venus in Capricorn forms a trine with Uranus in Taurus, a breakthrough aspect that could lead to sudden insights or epiphanies in career or finances. This is a time for unexpected revelations that could shift your approach to work, money, or even relationships.
The trine brings harmonious energy that can help you see new possibilities, such as a financial breakthrough or the realization of why a relationship ended. The energy is supportive, making it a great time for embracing change or implementing innovative solutions in both personal and professional areas.
The continuing influence of Venus in Capricorn through December brings opportunities for breakthroughs in career strategy and relationships. As we are finishing the South Node transit in Libra, many people may experience clarity around recent relationship endings or realizations about personal needs for freedom in relationships.
Sun squares Saturn (December 4th):
Challenge: Feelings of self-doubt, heaviness, or authority issues. Saturn's direct motion in Pisces brings a more serious tone, and this square can lead to negative thinking or isolation.
Advice: Stay positive and persistent, even if things feel slow or blocked. Don’t let self-criticism take over. Reach out for connection if you feel lonely.
Venus sextiles Neptune (December 4th):
Energy: Dreamy, creative, and inspirational. This is a good time to engage in activities that spark your imagination, like art or meditation. You might feel a need to escape into your own world or explore your spiritual side.
Advice: Take a break from negativity and dive into your dreams, hopes, and creative desires. Allow yourself some time to relax and reflect.
Mercury aligns with the Sun (Mercury Retrograde, December 5th):
Energy: A key point in the retrograde, bringing clarity, epiphanies, or insights from the past. Something that was previously hidden or unclear could be revealed.
Advice: Pay attention to new information, signs, or realizations that emerge. It’s a time for deep reflection and possibly revisiting past ideas or projects.
Mars Retrograde begins (December 6th):
Challenge: Lower energy, motivation, and drive. Mars retrograde can make it harder to take action or feel passionate about what once excited you.
Advice: Avoid starting new ventures, relationships, or major projects. Use this time for reflection on what truly ignites your inner spark and reassess what you want to pursue moving forward.
Venus enters Aquarius (December 6th):
Energy: Relationships take on a more detached, intellectual tone. Aquarius seeks freedom and mental stimulation, so there could be a sense of emotional distance in relationships.
Advice: Embrace the need for space in relationships. Focus on building connections that are based on shared ideas and freedom, rather than emotional closeness.
Mercury squares Saturn (December 6th):
Challenge: Communication or creative projects may feel blocked or delayed. This can be a time of frustration or difficulty in finding solutions, especially for writers or those in creative fields.
Advice: Keep pushing forward, even if things don’t flow easily. Don’t give up on your ideas, and trust that persistence will eventually pay off.
Venus conjunct Pluto in Aquarius (December 7th):
Energy: Deep transformation in relationships, finances, and personal power. Venus' conjunction with Pluto reveals deeper truths about what you value, desire, and how you connect with others.
Advice: This is a potent time for reclaiming your power, both financially and in relationships. It’s an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you and align with what truly brings you joy and fulfillment.
North Node starts to conjunct Neptune in Pisces (December 8th):
Energy: Intense Neptunian influence, amplifying themes of illusion, fantasy, and spiritual growth. The North Node’s alignment with Neptune challenges you to discern truth from illusion and deepen your spiritual practice.
Advice: Be mindful of escapism or idealizing situations. It’s a good time to work on your spiritual growth and engage in creative pursuits that help you connect with your higher self.
Grand Fire Trine (December 9th – 15th):
Energy: A harmonious alignment of the fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius). This grand trine brings opportunities from the past to come back to life—whether they’re projects, ideas, or people.
Advice: Pay attention to what resurfaces during this period. It may be a sign or opportunity that’s been waiting for the right moment. This can be a chance for revival, so trust that things coming back now may have a destined quality to them.
Sun Trines Chiron (December 10th):
Energy: Healing energy is at play as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a harmonious trine with Chiron in Aries. This aspect encourages breakthroughs in personal healing, particularly with old wounds or patterns.
Advice: Trust that healing is happening, even if it feels subtle. Retrogrades are powerful times for breaking old patterns. Reflect on any recurring stories in your life—if you feel stuck, it's not necessarily the story but a reflection of your internal patterns.
Venus Opposes Mars (December 12th):
Energy: Relationship tension could arise, especially regarding attraction and desires. With Venus in Aquarius and Mars retrograde in Leo, this opposition can cause friction, particularly in love, partnerships, or the way you express affection.
Advice: Handle this energy with compassion and patience. Mars retrograde makes us reevaluate what excites us, and you may feel changes in what once felt comfortable. Focus on understanding, not fixing, and allow space for transformation without expecting immediate results. This is a long-term process.
Full Moon in Gemini (December 15th):
Energy: The Full Moon brings illumination in relationships, thoughts, and communication. Secrets may come to light, and you’ll gain clarity on important matters. This Full Moon also forms a mutable T-square, creating pressure to shift your approach in some area of your life.
Advice: Be open to change and adaptability. There may be no way to move forward without adjusting something in your life, whether it's a relationship, project, or belief system.
Mercury Direct (December 15th):
Energy: With Mercury going direct on the same day as the Full Moon, things begin to shift after weeks of retrograde reflection. You’ll start gaining more clarity, and communications or travel will ease.
Advice: While Mercury will be direct, allow a few days for things to fully stabilize. Trust that new opportunities or clarity will unfold.
Sun Squares Neptune (December 18th):
Challenge: This is a powerful aspect that can lead to confusion, illness, or an overly idealized view of reality. Be mindful of your immune system and your perceptions during this time.
Advice: Focus on self-care—drink tea, take breaks from screens, and be mindful of your spiritual practice. Neptune’s fog can distort reality, so it’s crucial not to make major decisions or take things at face value.
Venus Trines Jupiter (December 19th):
Energy: A harmonious aspect between Venus in Aquarius and Jupiter in Gemini brings expansive, optimistic energy. It's a great time for positive changes in relationships, finances, and new ideas for the future.
Advice: Take this opportunity to dream about the future and reflect on what you want to manifest. While action isn’t necessary, it’s a good time to envision the path ahead. This energy encourages growth and helps you step into the next chapter of your life.
Capricorn Season Begins (December 21st):
Energy: As the Sun enters Capricorn, the focus shifts from expansive, philosophical energy to practical, goal-oriented energy. The holiday season is winding down, and it's time to get serious about plans for the new year.
Advice: Use this time to ground your ideas and make concrete steps toward your goals. Capricorn's practical energy will help you channel any lessons learned during the retrograde period into something productive.
Overall, this month’s astrological transits highlight opportunities for healing, reflection, and adaptation. The retrogrades and aspects support deep inner work, while the later part of the month brings clarity, vision, and alignment with your future goals.
