Your Weekly Astrology Forecast for November 25th – December 1st, 2024

This post was originally published on Astrology Answers

This week, we kick it off on Monday with Mercury turning retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius. We also have an exciting New Moon in Sagittarius as December begins.

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius emphasizes the need for careful communication and planning. Sagittarius, known for its expansive and adventurous nature, may amplify tendencies toward overcommitment and impulsivity during this period.

Expect potential misunderstandings, travel disruptions, and challenges in conveying ideas clearly. It’s advisable to double-check details, avoid making hasty decisions, and remain flexible, especially concerning travel and educational pursuits.

This retrograde offers an opportunity to reassess personal beliefs and long-term goals, encouraging thoughtful reflection over spontaneous action.

Soon after on December 1st, we experience the New Moon in Sagittarius. New Moons are a time of starting things and planting the seeds for what we want to grow and cultivate within our lives. It is the perfect time to set intentions as well. So ask yourself, what is it that you would like to begin, or what journeys would you like to embark on during this period of your life?

A New Moon in Sagittarius is specifically about what you would like to start in terms of long-term life goals and plans. You should reflect on the meaning of your life or what it is that your life means to you and whether you are living a life that is in alignment with that. If you feel like it is not, don’t beat yourself up or worry that it is “too late.”

With Sagittarius, nothing is ever too late; life is about the journey, not the destination, and everything you have done and been through is what led you to where you are right now.

It is so crucial that you have a sense of higher meaning in your life that it is somehow connected to something bigger and greater than you. This is so much of what spiritual practices aim to cultivate. Feeling like you are part of something larger and beyond yourself gives you a sense of perspective, which is one of the most important things to have in life.

Sagittarius energy is all about finding the opportunities and possibilities available within any given situation. It teaches you that sometimes, even if you can’t change the conditions themselves, you can maybe change your outlook on things, which eventually allows you to see doors where it seemed like there wasn’t before.

You so often hear that Sagittarius is a “lucky” sign, which is pretty inaccurate because it somehow portrays them as passive recipients of some external factors. However, the reason Sagittarius is perceived as lucky is because they are so good at taking advantage of what is available in any given situation.

They focus on the silver lining and what they can get out of something rather than focusing on the limitations and potentially negative aspects of things.

The New Moon in Sagittarius asks you to pursue practices that imbue your life with a deeper and higher meaning. Now, we often have this misconception that we need to have some rigid or fixed meaning of what life is all about; that is not true. It is your call what meaning you assign to your life; in fact, that is very mutable, changeable, and dynamic, just like the sign of Sagittarius.

How can you be an eternal student of life and adopt an attitude of curiosity and even excitement toward most things that come your way?

If you’ve been feeling called to learn a new subject or pursue a particular field on a long-term basis, this could be a very appropriate and relevant time for you to embark on a new education venture. This is also a great time to think about traveling somewhere completely new and different.
