Every year, around November 22nd, we feel a collective shift in the air. It’s as if, after a month of deep, sometimes painful but always transformative introspection in the waters of Scorpio, the universe suddenly throws open the windows. That fresh air, charged with optimism, adventure, and an irresistible desire to look beyond the known, is the arrival of the Sun in Sagittarius.
I’m Alejandro Herryman, and as an astrologer and coach, I’ve seen how this transit marks one of the most significant turning points of the year. We leave behind emotional intensity and psychological excavation to embrace expansion, truth, and the search for meaning.
If you’ve been feeling stagnant, heavy, or overly focused on what needs to “die” or transform in your life (a very Scorpionic energy), get ready. The Archer has arrived to remind you that the world is vast, possibilities are infinite, and your only task now is to aim your arrow at the farthest horizon you can imagine.
This isn’t just another astrological “season”; it’s a direct invitation to reconnect with your faith. Not necessarily religious faith, but faith in life, in the future, and in your own potential for growth.
What Does the Energy of Sagittarius Truly Mean?
To understand Sagittarius season, we must understand the archetype. Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, a mutable fire sign ruled by the largest planet in our solar system: Jupiter.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance, luck, higher wisdom, and philosophy. Wherever Jupiter touches, it magnifies. When the Sun, our consciousness and vitality, enters Jupiter’s sign, we all become a little more Sagittarian.
The symbol of Sagittarius is the Archer, often depicted as a Centaur (half human, half horse). This duality is key:
- The animal part (horse): Represents our instinctive desire for freedom, to move, to explore, to gallop without restrictions. It’s the physical energy that craves adventure and space.
- The human part: Represents our capacity to seek higher meaning. We don’t just move for the sake of moving; we direct that energy with an arrow (our intention, our vision) towards a philosophical or spiritual goal.
Sagittarius is the seeker of truth. Unlike Gemini (its opposite), which gathers information and data, Sagittarius searches for unified truth. It asks: Why are we here? What is the meaning of it all? What is my life philosophy?
Over the next four weeks, these questions will resonate more strongly within us.
From Scorpio’s Depth to Sagittarius’s Vastness
The zodiacal journey is a perfect narrative of human evolution. We’ve just emerged from Scorpio, the sign of transformation, crises, secrets, and deep intimacy. Scorpio asks us to delve into the personal underworld, face our shadows, and intensely merge with others.
It’s necessary work, but it’s exhausting. Scorpio contracts us, focuses us on the “you and I” and what lies beneath the surface.
Sagittarius is liberation. It’s the moment we emerge from that emotional cave, blink at the sunlight, and realize there’s a whole world out there. Sagittarian energy pulls us out of emotional drama and asks: “Okay, you’ve transformed, now what? What did you learn from that intensity, and how will you use it to expand your life?”
This transit invites us to let go of control and trust. Scorpio clings; Sagittarius releases. If you’ve been in a cycle of worry or overthinking, the arrival of the Sun in Sagittarius will feel like a balm of optimism.
5 Ways to Tune into Sagittarius Season
This is one of the most active and positive energies of the year. Don’t let it pass you by. Here are five practical ways to align your vibration with the Archer’s and truly expand your horizons.
1. Expand Your Mind: Learn Something New
Sagittarius rules higher education, philosophy, and big ideas. It’s the perfect time to enroll in that course you’ve been putting off. It doesn’t have to be a PhD; it could be a weekend workshop, an online course on a topic you’re passionate about, or simply buying that philosophy or spirituality book that intimidates you a bit.
Ask yourself: What subject would expand my worldview? The energy is available to absorb knowledge that not only gives you facts but wisdom.
2. Expand Your Physical Borders: Travel (or Plan a Trip)
As the sign of long journeys and foreign cultures, Sagittarius gives us “itchy feet” (wanderlust). It’s the ideal time to plan a vacation, take a flight, or, if you can’t travel far, explore a corner of your own city you don’t know.
Drive to a nearby town, visit a national park, go to an exotic restaurant… The goal is to break routine and expose yourself to new perspectives. Physical movement generates mental movement.
3. Expand Your Optimism: Practice Active Faith
Sagittarius is the incurable optimist of the zodiac. It believes that, in the end, everything will be alright. This season asks us to adopt that mindset. This isn’t toxic or naive optimism; it’s “active faith.” It’s consciously choosing to focus on possibility and the “yes, you can.”
A simple exercise: every morning, before looking at your phone, write down one thing you feel hopeful about or one possibility for the future that excites you. Train your mind to seek expansion.
4. Expand Your Truth: Speak with Honesty
Sagittarius is known for its honesty… sometimes brutal. The Archer has no filter because its devotion is to the truth. While I don’t suggest you go around hurting feelings (empathy is still important), I do invite you to be more honest with yourself and others.
What truth have you been avoiding? In what area of your life are you not being authentic? This energy gives you the courage to align your words with your convictions.
5. Expand Your Vision: Define Your “Why”
More than anything else, Sagittarius seeks purpose. It needs a reason to be, a “north star” towards which to aim its arrow. Without a “why,” Sagittarius becomes restless and scattered.
Take advantage of this season for a personal coaching session. Grab a notebook and write: What is my life philosophy? What truly matters to me? What legacy do I want to build? Defining this will give you fuel for the coming year.
Astrocartography: Finding Your Place of Expansion in the World
In my work as an astrologer, one of the most powerful tools I use is astrocartography. And when we talk about Sagittarius, we inevitably talk about Jupiter lines.
Astrocartography shows us in which places in the world the energies of certain planets in our birth chart are activated more strongly. Jupiter lines (ruler of Sagittarius) are, in my experience, the lines of abundance, luck, growth, and expansion.
If you’ve ever felt “small” or “limited” where you live, you might be far from your Jupiter zones. Traveling or even moving to one of these lines can literally open doors, introduce you to mentors, bring you educational opportunities, and make you feel that life flows with more ease.
Sagittarius season is the perfect time to explore your astrocartography map and discover where, on the planet, your greatest expansion awaits you. It’s a way to aim your arrow with geographical precision.
Are You Ready to Launch Your Arrow?
The Sun in Sagittarius is a promise. It’s the promise that no matter how dark the night (Scorpio) has been, dawn always arrives. And not only does it arrive, but it brings with it the possibility of a completely new day, full of adventures.
My invitation to you during these four weeks is to dare to dream big. To lift your gaze from the details and observe the entire horizon. What is calling you? What adventure have you been postponing out of fear or routine?
If you feel the call to expand but don’t know where to aim, or if you want to discover where in the world your best growth energy is located, I am here to help you.
We can explore your birth chart together to understand your unique purpose, or map your world with astrocartography to find those places where your soul will truly feel at home and expansive.
You can book a Personalized Astrology Reading with me and let’s start designing your expansion.
I wish you a Sagittarius season full of discoveries, optimism, and infinite horizons.
With Love,
