Most Sagittarians have faced some unusual challenges in their home or family life of late (or in relationships). It may be that the need for freedom either within yourself or within those close to you, has reared its head with a holy vengeance over the last few months. Chances are, events have led you to feel at times that people close to you are not providing the life-affirming energies that you seek. If so, there is probably a very good reason for this.
Closeness with others, in the short term, is not really high on the Universe’s priority list for you right now—unless perhaps you haven’t had this in ages, in which case it may be very close to the top of that list. But for most Sagittarians right now, you are probably better off not trying to invest too much energy in your relationships, so that you can invest more energy in yourself and in your personal, spiritual connection to a higher power. There is an excellent chance that any challenges you have been facing in interpersonal or family realms are largely for the purpose of turning your attention back to yourself. If what I am saying rings true, then finding the things that you like to do to nurture and be kind to yourself could be a very good move right now, as long as you leave some quiet time to remember and reconnect yourself with the spiritual source that gives you power.

For some Sagittarians, the events of the last few months have been downright gut wrenching at times. If so, this is probably a clear indication that there is some kind of emotional pain within you that really wants to come to the surface and be embraced for healing. If this seems true, then this is where you have to be really aware of yourself, because most Sagittarians naturally focus on the fun, light, and easy side of life; but then sometimes to let the negatives go, the negatives need our full attention for a little while first. Sometimes we need to feel our pain in order to let it go. Sometimes we need to fully remember the hard times we’ve had so that we can be free of their limiting influences; when we block out the hard times from our past, these experiences have a way of recurring in our lives over and over until we have faced and embraced them fully.

I know you don’t like to do the emotional stuff too much, Sagittarius, but I’m gonna give it to you the way you like it: straight. You have to do the emotional stuff right now, and you are going to have to pay attention to the emotional stuff for a long, long time to come. The sooner you realize this, and make time for the feelings and emotional issues that need to be dealt with, the more fun and enjoyable your life is going to be in the long run. You may have to rewire a few of your circuits to accomplish this, but I don’t think you really have much of a choice in the matter right now if you want to go with the Universal flow. Okay, now for the good news (sorry it took so long).

Probably no other sign is as good at seeing the big picture as you are. So I think you’ll like this next part. What I’m seeing is that the Universe has some big plans in mind for you when it comes to your emotional happiness. What I’m seeing is that the Universe has a very smart, long-term plan in mind for you that is intended to bring you the domestic happiness that you deserve. However, it is a long-term plan. This plan has an enormous amount of potential, and of course it is within your power to bring this potential to reality.

Part of manifesting this potential will be looking honestly at your past and your family, and working through some of the issues that stem from there. Any challenges that you have faced or will face in your home or relationships will be for the purpose of bringing patterns to your attention so that you can be aware of them and alter them. Part of this plan may be experiencing some restlessness over the years to come so that you can explore all of your options and more fully realize where and how you really want to be. If you have an intention to grow personally and emotionally, you will attract powerful circumstances to you to help you to make the deep-seated changes that will bring you the happiness you deserve.

There may be some things that you can do over the next seven’ish years to bring this potential to reality. Many Sagittarians will move around a lot, looking for a newer, better place to call home. Some Sagittarians will try on different relationships in these upcoming years, looking for the experiences that will teach them exactly what they need to know about themselves in order to have the relationships they really want to have. Many Sagittarians will learn a lot about their past and do a lot of psychological healing so that they can be free from any limitations that have been holding them back.

Over the last six months (March through September) Sagittarius, there’s a good chance you’ve felt some kind of a shift towards taking on more responsibility for your family or your community. If so, I couldn’t encourage you more in this direction. Even though much of the long-term focus for you is on your spiritual and emotional growth, there should also be some kind of emphasis on responsibilities to others. You’ve begun a long, long phase of your life where you will be laying so many different kinds of foundations for yourself. To reach the place you want to be in life, my advice would be to give yourself fully to the work that presents itself to you, whether that’s emotional or worldly work. Many Sagittarians will—if they haven’t already—over the next seven years, also make moves to either own real estate or radically upgrade properties that they own.

You are going to be laying down bricks for a long, long time. If you give yourself fully to the new opportunities before you, you will probably amaze yourself with the benefits you (and everyone around you) derive from this for the rest of your life, though much of the reaping might not come fully until years down the road. Laying down bricks might not sound like such a party, but this will really allow you to enjoy life to the fullest for a long, long time to come. Keep your eyes on the big picture, and trust that all of the good and conscious things that you do over the next seven years will pay unimaginable dividends for you and your loved ones for many decades to come.

by the way...sag sun and moon here with virgo ascendant and gemini MC.

I am stepping back more to try understand my relationships this year,
I have Sag/1st house, Mars in Sag,

Women I know have been asking me if I like being single as much as they do and I say yes, but because it feels part of a process.

I also have moved three times this year and I'm trying on different relationships, I feel I will be more settled when I have found where I want to live for the rest of my life.

Then again, my Cancer moon and Venus 4th house idealizes home.

I think you are getting a double whammy - not only is Pluto Activating your Mars- in the first house- but also you have Saturn teaching your moon lessons.

A wise woman told me about the 'fated' qualities of Saturn and Pluto- should you have both occuring at the same time means you are going to be learning more about what 'you' want and what 'you'need. Also, be prepared for people to come into your life to bring about change, transformation..I remember reading that you really changed your look- well, that sounds like Pluto in the 1st house or activating your Mars in the 1st house.

Have you found yourself to be more "concrete" about what you want? I think you have, as your posts are more poignant and your dealings with men are more direct.

I can empthasize with you. I have found myself really fighting for what I need, but not fighting fate like I used to. I made a concrete decision to go with my "heart" and not just my head- Saturn squaring the Moon (in my transit) teaches us that we got out of balance. I did- I made my career my life and in return I sacrificed valuable emotional relationships. Saturn was winning out over my emotional side.

Do you find that to be the case in your life?

VirgoMaiden,

Is your look changing? Do you find that many things affecting your appearance and what you project to the world has been changing? Having Pluto in your 1st house will do that,especially if you have other personal planets in that house. Currently, I have Pluto squaring the hell out of my natal Ascendant (Virgo) and my Pluto.

Archer,

I would say that you HAVE to be feeling so many things right now and you must be going through one of those very exhaustive relflective points in your life. You will PULL through!!! Even if it's hard.

Good luck

TINK and Libra,

I am glad he saw the light about pets, they do make us happier.
Mr. Taurus's job right now is being cuddly, it keeps the worries away.
(My saying right now is Find solutions not problems) I can see how a Taurus with Virgo moon could find problems, and I do that sometimes too. Tell him for me that cuddling works much better than worrying.

I am trying to remember this.

Yes I have been more concrete lately, and I have been going through several changes physically. I was thinking last night how much more direct I am in what I want/need. They are now pretty much the same thing, otherwise everyone is confused.

And I am a 69 baby, great year!
We are probably getting down to what works for us and what doesn't.

I am happy to read about your counseling and the work you are doing for yourself, everything you are going through is an extension of yourself, but be happy in the here and now. The future is not that uncertain.

Pluto, honestly wants me to do things, not just think about them, so it gets me into feeling emotions so much it's almost painful, I must believe it's a good thing. I recently cut my hair in a short bob, at first the Gemini liked it, now he wants it longer. But I'm very impatient myself, so that makes me a little impatient to change something else. I don't like superficial emotions or comments at this time, but I don't mind superficial contacts with other people.

You are right Pluto is intense, I have a strong desire to chill out, like they say in California, but my emotions want more and more. I want to be with the sexy man in my life, but he's 7hrs away:<
He feels the same way, maybe I'll see him this weekend, he has expressed a few longings for me to live closer to him, and that makes me a little PO'd since he knows I can't buy another house in that area, and I am not willing to live with someone right now. He has too much to handle right now in his area, but I was hoping he could stay with me for a while.

I don't want to feel like Cinderella (resentful) right now. Everyone knows what long distance relationships are like! Oh well, we'll work on it.

Pluto (and also your moon with Saturn's influences) won't let you deny those feelings or let you sit back and just think. I read about the transit regarding the Sun (which I think is also important for the rising sign and it is the mask to the self) Basically, denying Pluto is like putting the cap on a volcano - it will still bubble up in time and the result will be worse. Pushing Pluto to make changes for the sake of change or for ego purposes will actually bring about violence itself or outburts.

I think that you and Mr. Gemini have a brighter future ahead of you both than a few months ago. He has to learn that you do want to be with him, but that you just can't up and leave. You just moved and it seems that he is the one that is more flexible at this time.

I understand about the inability to tolerate with superficial comments or opinions, but the contacts are fine. I can get my "social exposure fix" by just walking around a mall, chit chatting with a few people from work - without having to have a close frienship. Sometimes it just feels easier NOT to have all that baggage..LOL..oh that sounds bad- but true.

"I am looking to settle down and buy property to begin tending to my domestic side"

That's exactly it! I just bought a book called "Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House", I find I am enjoying laundry, I am looking into buying a house, and I ... gulp ... want to get pregnant. All my life I have always been the least domestic, maternal person in the room. Now all I want to do is vacuum and bake cookies.

So that just verifies my belief that a lot of Sags are either holding on, or cutting out excess baggage. It's interesting, how it's not really a conflict, just a process, the Sags I know in marriages are very happy right now and I realize that I crave a relationship like that. It's funny I don't know any happier married people than these Saggies.

Well, I can answer about the Pluto conjunct Venus. My Sun hasn't been hit directly, but Pluto has been going over my Venus and back for the past 2 years.

I awakened a part of my passionate / emotional soul that I wasn't prepared for. I "felt" more deeply and needed to be around people that wanted more than superficiality. It's kind of like what Natasha said in another post about not being able to put up with anything superficial from those we care about, BUT we can deal with superficial contacts.

Pluto conjunct Venus taught me to expect more from my sexual life and emotional bonds. What wasn't working was severed- then I met someone that caused such deep emotions in me and it was beautiful- for a while. Other problems surfaced, but I become "more" of myself through that relationship. Now, I am in a more stable, loving and yet very passionate relationship - which occured as Pluto went retro and said "HELLO" once again to my Natal Venus.

In composite we have neptune opposite venus. I always seem to have neptune aspects with men.

When Pluto touches me it does make me commit but I am not always happy with the same situation later. Neptune transits are the opposite, I'm not happy at the start but the longing intensifies.

Keep your chin up peeps...we'll make it through this.

I also think this is a good time to keep a journal- as so many people will never feel the affects of a Pluto conjunction to such personal planets as their Sun / Moon as well as the ASC.

I am documenting the trials and saving my exerpts from posting here. Someday I want to write a book about Pluto and it's journey in my life.
