The Moon in Sagittarius
When the moon is in Sagittarius, the world experiences a period of increased tendency toward sharing and friendliness as well as a sense of optimism.
This is an excellent time to approach someone with a proposal, to ask for a favor or to form a group or organization, as long as you don’t get bogged down in details.
However, if you lose yourself in the enthusiasm, you could also find yourself with any variety of morning after regret, so have fun, but don’t lose your head and watch your tongue (and maybe keep some other parts too)! Fire and air signs, this means you!
It’s also a good time to travel, especially to foreign place and by air. If travel isn’t practical, spending sometime outdoors in nature, either just communing or taking part in sporting activities, will satisfy this craving. Be careful of pushing yourself too hard. Overconfidence can lead to injuries today.
If getting out isn’t in the cards, curl up with a good book on philosophy, or write some. Or spend the day communing with the Gods. All these activities will satisfy the forward-blazing fire that Sagittarius lights inside us.
Relationships started when the moon is in Sagittarius are likely to be loads of fun, but not very stable.
