Archers have been host to the God of the Underworld, a.k.a. Pluto, for some time now and I'm sure many of you are mighty tired of it.  If you were born December 15-19 it will be especially strong this month, so brace yourself.  Pluto moves at a slow crawl and is retrograde to boot, meaning that it will most likely be the end of the year before he's off your, uh, out of aspect and moves on to aggravate those born a few days later.  During this time you will take on numerous Plutonian traits which are quite different that your basic nature.  Your sense of humor will darken, your optimism will turn to cynicism and rather than moving happily from one challenge to the next you're likely to brood, obsess and grumble over your life in general.  Those close to you are going to wonder what's wrong and when they start to keep their distance it will exacerbate all those rumblings to the point that you begin to wonder yourself.  In many respects it will be like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde transformation. 

While all this sounds rather ominous and grim, the good news is that if you're reading this you will at least understand the mechanism and know that it will end, albeit slowly.  What you need to do is tune into that basic, philosophical, curious nature of yours and learn everything you can from it.  Indeed, there are people that live out their lives in that state, particularly if they were unfortunate enough to be born under such an aspect, so you can at least be grateful for the fact it will end.

For Archers born around December 3-7, Uranus will square your Sun most of the month, which could trigger some major change or unexpected event, most likely in your home environment.  You are likely to initiate this change, so make sure that you think it out thoroughly before doing something rash.  Mars will oppose Uranus in the vicinity of August 11-15 from your Natural 10th House which could trigger some upset that affects your reputation or community standing in some way.  Your only defense is to be on your best possible behavior so that whatever it is doesn't stick.  By all means, don't do something stupid and bring it on yourself.

The good news, particularly for those of you born between November 23 - December 15 is that Venus, a genuinely benefic planet, will be smiling on you from fellow Fire Sign, Leo, sometime between August 13 and the end of the month.  These good vibes will fall on your Natural 9th House which affects long distance travel, legal matter and higher education as well as dreams and visions.  If that sounds familiar, it's because that's the natural abode for Sagittarians.  Mercury will be covering about the same ground, albeit a little faster, but around the same timeframe, enhancing your communications.  So if you're involved in any of those areas, perhaps on vacation, or conducting litigation, or even scoping out your future, things should go well. 

Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is hanging out nextdoor in Scorpio, your natural 12th House, and thus provoking some deep, philosophical internal discussions regarding who you really are and your place in the universe.  It's in positive aspect with Uranus, which could bring a positive change or happy surprise to your doorstep sometime this month.  Unfortunately, Saturn, who is not so friendly, is also in aspect, which could send a possible clash with authority or delay your way.

The Full Moon on the 9th is in your natural 3rd House of intellect, highlighting that area of your life in some way.  Neptune is in the same vicinity, which will perhaps throw a bit of idealism in the mix.  If your birthday is around December 7-12 it could have a bit more significance.  The New Moon on the 23rd is in fellow Mutable sign, Virgo and could usher in a new phase of some sort relative to your career and/or reputation for those born the last week of November.  It's likely to be a change of direction and provoke a lot of pros and cons which you should consider carefully before going down that particular path.  Be sure you know where you're going before you start so as not to discover later that it isn't where you want to go.

It's definitely going to be a busy and eventful month with a variety of flavors, depending on when your birthday falls.  Come what may, rest assured that your Sagittarian roots will help you figure out the deeper meaning and use it to advantage sometime in your lifetime.
