Sagittarius season: what it colors

Almanacs file Advent, Saint Barbara’s Day, Saint Nicholas’s Day, and Christmas preparations here: a period of waiting for the light, which matches the last quarter of the year.

Astrologers attach the fire sign ruled by Jupiter to it: travel, search for meaning, optimism, a set of qualities they associate with the figure of the centaur archer. The December sky sets neither your departures nor your drive.

Does the Sun really pass in front of the center of the Galaxy?

Yes, as seen from Earth, once a year, in December: the direction of the Sun coincides with that of Sagittarius A*, at the heart of the Milky Way. The coincidence is accidental and without effect, the center being 26,000 light-years away. The site’s engine can verify the date from its positions.

What does tradition say about Sagittarius season?

It reads a time of widening, aspirations, and departures in it, under Jupiter’s direction, and associates it with the wait for Christmas. It sees a seasonal good mood. In the conditional, like all symbolic readings: Sagittarius obliges no one to go on a trip.
