Sagittarius

Pluto sextile your Sun

Pluto sextiles your Sun for something close to two years, the exact contact recurring as the planet stops, reverses and moves on, and you have access to a deeper kind of strength than usual. The Sun in your chart is who you are at the centre and what you live for; Pluto works at the level of what has been buried, denied or held in check. At a sextile, Pluto's pressure becomes an invitation.

Neptune trine your Sun

Neptune trines your Sun: the compassionate, idealistic side of you comes forward, and for a while you see your own life through a wider and kinder lens than you usually allow. This long, soft passage asks very little of you except attention. It surfaces as a lighter grip on who you take yourself to be.

Uranus opposition your Sun

Uranus opposes your Sun for around a year, crossing the degree once, or three times when it stalls and backs up. Your Sun is the name you answer to and the road you mean to take — the will that makes you recognisably yourself. Uranus deals in the sudden and the unplanned, and in the impulse to break whatever has become too tight.

Saturn trine your Sun

For several months, and longer when Saturn's backward loop carries it over the same degree a second and third time, Saturn trines your Sun and effort starts turning into results without the usual grinding. Your Sun is your purpose, the person you spend your days being; Saturn supplies patience, form and a liking for the long view. In trine the two cooperate.

Jupiter trine your Sun

For several weeks running Jupiter trines your Sun, and a retrograde close to the point can make it return on two later occasions, months apart. Your Sun sits at the middle of your chart, the purpose you would recognise as your own. Jupiter brings growth, generosity and a sense that more is possible than you had allowed for.

Venus conjunct your Sun

Venus crosses your Sun in two days or thereabouts; a stall and a retrograde turn nearby can stretch that past a week. Your Sun is the character you would defend if pushed; Venus stands for pleasure, liking and the pull toward what is lovely. When they meet you feel more likeable, more generous and more inclined to enjoy yourself, and other people answer that warmth quickly and in kind.

Mercury sextile your Sun

Mercury's sextile to your Sun lasts two days or thereabouts; while it does, your mind is quick and your confidence easy to find. Mercury is the mind putting itself into words; the Sun is the person behind them. A sextile keeps them on friendly terms, so what you say sounds like you, which is rarer than it should be and worth spending on something that matters.
