General overview: Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

No hill is too steep until Saturn gets in the way and forces you to come back down to ground level.... which is what you would have experienced over the past 2 years.

But the good news is that Saturn is moving out of your sign and won`t return to Sagittarius for the next 27 years! Hopefully you have learned the hard lessons and can now consolidate and put things into a realistic and practical context and not shoot for the Moon too impulsively and readily.

Rearrange things from the bottom up so that they won`t topple over by leaping too idealistically and prematurely ahead. 

Even though the weight is being lifted, you still need to keep a practical and realistic approach rather than scatter yourself in too many directions.

The bottom line is you are not a superhuman and there is only so much you can do before life pushes the curve ball in to bring you back down to earth.

Luck can be on your side later in the year when good fortune Jupiter enters your sign, but you first need to lay the solid foundations before you can reap the rewards.

Love and relationships

With Saturn moving out of opposition to your house of relationships, you may find the obstacles and limitations that were strong in the past start to ebb a little.

This is not because things have gotten easier. It is because you have matured and your approach has shifted.

You may still feel like something is just around the corner and not quite manifesting for most of 2018, but by November when Jupiter moves into your sign you jump into the driver’s seat and steer your way forward with zest and enthusiasm which will then attract opportunities to you.

One word of caution is to bide your time and do the much needed “alone time” to reflect, prepare and consolidate things so that when things come your way, you are inwardly and outwardly ready to embrace it.

October/November - early 2019 can be a little turbulent as you could get tested or tempted to go back to old patterns and quickly realise that the past is best left in the past.

Work and money

If you are pushing too hard in one area, you will start feeling the stress from about mid 2018 and get pushed into needing to reorganise your daily rhythm.

All work and no play or all play and no work will take its toll on your mind, body and emotions, so make sure you maintain a healthy diet, exercise regime and creative activities to keep the passion alive and your body healthy.

Financially 2018-2020 is a good time to budget. For some this may be the year to seriously down scale and you generally have a lot of excess to sell, so let go of the things you know longer need and simplify your lifestyle and save as much as you can. This is not a good time to spend.

Wait until 2020 and the abundant energy should return. The focus for 2018 is to work constructively for the long run and to reap in the benefits later rather than focus on instant gratification and quick fixes. In November there may be a dodgy deal that you need to be careful of joining.

Keep your business and your friends separate as this can often create complications further down the line.
