This makes Sagittarius seem lucky, but it's really the optimism that gives it luck.
Sagittarius in Astrology: Big Picture
Sagittarius rules the big picture in astrology. Sagittarius can take a step back and see how things all come together, and doesn't get lost in the details or the small stuff. Sagittarius knows that it'll all come together in the end, so why stress out about it now?
Sagittarius in Astrology: Wise
Sagittarius is the wise Zodiac sign, which can sometimes be surprising, but this is because Sagittarius loves to learn through life experience. This means Sagittarius has plenty of stories to tell, and loves to tell them, and can share all that it's learned from what it's experienced with others.

Sagittarius in Astrology: The Preachy Runner
When not manifesting well, Sagittarius can be preachy and a runner. Instead of facing problems, Sagittarius can run away from them, and keeps running. Instead of keeping an open mind, Sagittarius can force its opinions on others, making it preachy. Sagittarius has to learn to face the hard stuff and open its ears.
Where Your Sagittarius Energy is Found
If you have any natal planets in Sagittarius, the way those planets express themselves is via Sagittarius, so they are optimistic, expansive, and open. The more Sagittarius planets you have, the more Sagittarius-like you can be.
Even if you have no natal planets in Sagittarius, you will have at least one natal house with Sagittarius. The house that falls in Sagittarius (has Sagittarius on the house cusp) can show areas of life where you take an optimistic, expansive approach.

Transit Chiron moves to Sagittarius in 2049 (and was last in Sagittarius 1999-2001), and we can tackle issues with expanding and exploring. Transit Pluto was last in Sagittarius 1995-2008 (and won't be again until 2241!), and this makes for passionate beliefs and transformative expansion. Strong Sagittarius Energy in Astrology
When multiple planets are in Sagittarius in your natal chart, this can give you strong Sagittarius energy in your life and personality. You can be optimistic, gregarious, and expansive. This can be the case if you have a Sagittarius stellium (3+ planets in one Zodiac sign), or if you have 2 of your primary triad (Sun, Moon, Rising) in Sagittarius.
You can also feel that you have strong Sagittarius energy if your natal Jupiter is strong, which is the planet that rules Sagittarius.

When multiple transit planets are in Sagittarius, this gives all of us a strong dose of Sagittarius energy all at once. We can expand and explore. How we end up feeling this personally is usually focused on the house in your natal chart the Sagittarius energy occurs in.

Scorpio in Astrology: Darkness
Scorpio rules the darker side of life. This includes our fears, our inner demons, hatred, violence, and discrimination. Scorpio is so passionate and intense that it can get stuck on the dark side when not manifesting well, and this turns Scorpio on itself as well as everyone else. The intense passion of Scorpio needs to have many healthy outlets to direct the energy, otherwise it becomes as destructive as possible.

Libra in Astrology: Vacillating
When not manifesting well, Libra is highly vacillating. Libra can be as indecisive as it gets!

Virgo in Astrology: Structure and Order

Virgo does rule perfectionism, and this sign can demand too much from itself. Being such a hard worker, so detailed, and so focused, Virgo can sometimes take on too much, stress itself out, have burnout, and then gets mad at itself for not being perfect.

Suggested Reading: The Virgo Sun sign page April 2024 comes with a fiery Solar Eclipse in Aries and a sobering Full Moon in Scorpio. What does this for us? What is a Solar Eclipse?
A New Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New Moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic. A Solar Eclipse occurs when New Moons are within 18 1/2 degrees of the Lunar Nodes (the points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic).
What is a Full Moon?
A Full Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full Moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
Solar Eclipse in Aries: April 8th 2024 (2:20PM ET/11:20AM PT)
Our first Solar Eclipse for 2024 comes to us in Aries, the very first sign of the Zodiac, and a fire and cardinal sign. Aries is full of energy, enthusiasm, and spunk, and wants to get things going. With Solar Eclipses ruling new beginnings and opportunities, we have the ability to take the initiative to make what we want happen, and this can be bigger than usual thanks to the eclipse energy. We're ready to hit the ground running and go.
This is our second Aries Solar Eclipse in this eclipse set, and we had one last year in 2023, and will have one more next year in 2025. So, we might be in the middle of developments and whatever we're focusing on with this energy. We may have begun last year, continue this year, and culminate next year. This eclipse occurs with Mercury retrograde (appearing to move backward) in Aries, and the eclipse is widely conjunct (aligned with) Mercury retrograde. While Solar Eclipses are times of big new beginnings, new journeys, and new ventures, retrogrades are times of looking back and doing things over. This means this eclipse is absolutely fabulous for a second chance. Is there something you'd like to try again with? You might've tried it and failed, got started but didn't finish, or didn't get off of the ground at all. This would be the time of the year to give it a shot. The energy of this period also says that what passes now is meant to be. So, that second chance? Maybe it wasn't meant to be before, but it is now! On the downside, we do need to be mindful of accidents and injuries (lots more of those), as well as work on keeping our anger and aggression under control (more war?), and there might be a bad wildfire around this time. The Solar Eclipse occurs at 19 degrees 24 minutes Aries. The aspects to the eclipse are: Conjunction: 14 degrees 24 minutes - 24 degrees 24 minutes Aries Semisextile: 17 degrees 24 minutes - 21 degrees 24 minutes Taurus or Pisces Sextile: 14 degrees 24 minutes - 24 degrees 24 minutes Gemini or Aquarius Square: 14 degrees 24 minutes - 24 degrees 24 minutes Cancer or Capricorn Trine: 14 degrees 24 minutes - 24 degrees 24 minutes Leo or Sagittarius Quincunx: 17 degrees 24 minutes - 21 degrees 24 minutes Virgo or Scorpio Opposition: 14 degrees 24 minutes - 24 degrees 24 minutes Libra Full Moon in Scorpio: April 23rd 2024 (7:49PM ET/4:49PM PT)
The Scorpio Full Moon is the most serious of the lunations. Full Moons are highly emotional and serious, and Scorpio is an emotional water sign and ruler of the serious. Scorpio is intense, passionate, and unrelenting, and we can have a hard time letting things go with a Scorpio Full Moon. We're really invested, and we're a bit stubborn about it, but we likely need to recognize that it's not doing us any good, and it's time to move on.
There can be developments involving other people's money (debts, loans, inheritances, taxes, joint finances, business finances, etc.), or regarding something that is deeply hidden that becomes revealed. We likely need to work on a major transformation, and this can be intense, but ultimately leads to solutions and frees us. We do need to be mindful of frustrations boiling over with this Full Moon, and especially coming after that Aries Solar Eclipse conjunct Mercury retrograde, yeah there's going to be a lot of fighting energy in April. We need to bite our tongues and try to be rational and think things through before blowing up. This may be a bad month for violence in the world though. The Full Moon is square (challenging aspect, 3 signs away) transit Pluto in Aquarius, and Pluto is the natural ruler of Scorpio. This means we can struggle with some of this energy, and we may lash out too easily, take things out on someone or something that has nothing to do with the real problem, and shove away our true issues. It's super important that we face reality, are honest with ourselves, and are willing to address the bad. Transforming is often the way out with Scorpio and Pluto, so seek to transform for the better. The Full Moon occurs at 4 degrees 18 minutes Scorpio. Aspects are: Conjunction: 2 degrees 18 minutes - 6 degrees 18 minutes Scorpio Sextile: 2 degrees 18 minutes - 6 degrees 18 minutes Virgo or Capricorn Square: 2 degrees 18 minutes - 6 degrees 18 minutes Leo or Aquarius Trine: 2 degrees 18 minutes - 6 degrees 18 minutes Cancer or Pisces Opposition: 2 degrees 18 minutes - 6 degrees 18 minutes Taurus Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect On March 19th 2024, transit (moving) Mercury is going to conjunct (align with) the transit North Node in Aries! This is an auspicious aspect that is essentially in effect March 16th - 20th 2024, and comes back to being in effect at the end of Mercury retrograde in April. Mercury in Astrology
Mercury is the planet of the mind in astrology. It governs communication and expression. Mercury is engaged, keeps busy, and of two minds. Mercury is a fast planet, and wants to have a variety of focuses.
North Node in Astrology
The North Node is a part of the Lunar Nodes, which are the points in the Moon's orbit where the Moon crosses the ecliptic. There is a North Node and a South Node, and they exactly oppose one another in the Zodiac.
The South Node is the past, early life/past lives, and it's familiar and what is already known so it can become an emotional crutch. The North Node is our potential, purpose, and where we find ultimate fulfillment, but it's unknown and so we can be hesitant. There are two positions for the Lunar Nodes, Mean (averaged out) and True (exact). They're usually pretty close to each other though (usually only 1-2 degrees apart). Mercury Conjunct North Node in Aries 2024 Impact:
With the planet of the mind conjunct the North Node, this means we're focused on our ideas, plans, and communication. We can express ourselves more, and we can find new ways of sharing what's on our mind. There can be important news at this time, or important knowledge or information that is shared.
In Aries, we can be enthusiastic and energized by ideas, plans, news, and information. We can be ready to take action quickly and with zeal. We can feel a personal connection to this, and it may feel like it's tied to our identity. But, do remember that the North Node is unfamiliar, so we may want to shy away from this, or even run away. It may scare us, but it can be really great for us if we can push through. We have to be willing to face it and go forth boldly. Chiron is also in the mix for this as it's been conjunct the North Node as well (exact on February 19th for True North Node, March 5th for Mean North Node), and Mercury is conjunct Chiron on March 20th. Chiron is the wounded healer in astrology, and connects to our great wounds, but also to our healing abilities. The ideas, news, information, or plans at this time might impact wounds, healing, and growth, and we have the opportunity to make strides and improvements in a big way if we embrace it. Mercury is conjunct the True North Node at 15 degrees Aries and the Mean North Node at 16 degrees Aries, and is conjunct Chiron at 18 degrees (Chiron conjuncted the True North Node at 16 degrees and Mean North Node at 17 degrees), so aspects to your natal bodies can occur with planets or points between 15 and 18 degrees of: Aries (conjunct; amplifies) Gemini and Aquarius (sextile; beneficial) Cancer and Capricorn (square; challenging) Leo and Sagittarius (trine; beneficial) Libra (opposition; challenging) Also look to where 15 - 18 degrees Aries falls in your natal houses for areas of life you may focus on ideas, plans, news, and information. Whatever that house rules, you may learn something new, talk something over, be more engaging, put together plans, or come up with new ideas. Mercury will also retrograde (appear to move backward) in April, and that retrograde ends on April 25th with Mercury conjunct North Node. It's not exact, but in orb (close). So, whatever we're focused on now likely ties into what we're focused on coming out of the Mercury retrograde, and we can work on moving toward our potential, purpose, and future. That actually goes very well with another big aspect going exact around the same time (April 21st): Jupiter conjunct Uranus! So we've got some big energy pushing us forward.
