Sun in Sagittarius

After Scorpio's intensity, the Sun in Sagittarius erupts upward with a hunger for meaning, adventure, and expansive truth. This mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, is the philosopher-explorer of the zodiac, and when the Sun passes through it, the collective mood lifts toward optimism and forward vision. Questions of belief, higher education, foreign travel, and ethics dominate. This is a transit of enthusiastic overreach — the arrow flies far and sometimes lands beyond reasonable territory. The gift is a genuine capacity to see possibility where others see only obstacle. The shadow is recklessness, preachiness, and overpromising.
