Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, and the tradition links it with travel, learning, belief and the search for meaning. Astrologers read solar eclipses as emphatic new moons, and those near the north node are often associated with unfamiliar directions. An opposition from Uranus is traditionally taken to add surprise or a wish for freedom. A modest suggestion: leave some room in your plans for the unexpected, and notice which ideas keep returning.
