Do you like gift cards? Who doesn’t! Well Sagittarius, the cosmos is about to hand you one as a birthday gift on Tuesday. It’s the annual new moon in your sign, a lunation that you can use to go after any wish or goal of your choosing: finding new love, losing weight, finding a new job, becoming healthier, starting a family or taking a trip around the world.
Jupiter is in an excellent angle from Libra, the sector that governs your deepest wishes and dreams. And serious, structured Saturn is also close by, meaning that the actions you take now will be potent. You’re not messing around this time, hoping that somehow everything will fall into place. Nope, you’ll want to hit the ground running with a detailed, practical plan, one of Saturn’s specialties.
Mars is also in a helpful mood from your house of brainstorming and communication, so not only will there be no shortage of bright ideas, you’ll be able to reach out to others who can help you make them happen.
You do have to watch out for a few flies in the ointment, however. First, don’t be over-anxious to lock in a commitment from a lover–for an engagement ring, a baby, moving in together, whatever. Love planet Venus is in your house of security, which could encourage you to demand answers from a lover.
Slow down and let things happen at their own pace. But if you’ve been patiently waiting for way too long, don’t forget: this new moon opens up doors and is your gift card, which means that a new lover could be on the horizon.
Second, don’t let family members pooh-pooh your ideas, saddle you with guilt or try to prevent you from making progress, a possibility on Wednesday. There will be no stopping you, something that they’ll discover down the road. As a matter of fact Thursday is awesome for reaching out to mentors, friends, potential employers, agents or new flames with a sparkling Mars-Jupiter trine.
Ask for help, ask for a date, ask for the job, the chance, the order. Friends and business contacts can be extraordinarily helpful to you now, so work your connections.
If you’re looking for a new job, raise, promotion or you’re trying to close a business deal, you’re in luck once Mercury enters your second house of income on Thursday for several weeks. This is also a smart time to review budgets and your savings and to come up with better fiscal habits.
Do this before the 19th when Mercury retrogrades. Not only will you have to deal with the usual holiday slow down, but your sign will be double affected. Decision makers will be hard to reach or pin down, so make every effort now to get your financial situation gelled.
