From 11.22 to 12.21, the Sun transits across Sagittarius every year. The sign is ruled by Jupiter, which sets a path for Mars although not beyond Saturn's limits. Jupiter is assigned to eight Egyptian Tarot cards by Kier Ed., a deck where 3 is its number. And, among Greek deities, Artemis and Hestia are related to the sign of big movements and loyalties, calls and commitment.
This solar month is a time to reach destiny. A path has been walked through, and looking back will show the phases to be now left behind. With almost no effort, the journey ends to take the prize and achieve the goal. I Ching refers to it as the moment immediately before full light and development, or full generative darkness, according to the Hemisphere people live in.
In classic Astrology and esoteric Astrology, Sagittarius counts on several rulers: Jupiter, Mars and Neptune, which are key masses for developing mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, the very Sagittarius & Pisces). And, according to Karmic Astrology, Fire signs (Aries, Leo & Sagittarius) are the ones to awaken the flames of life, which eventually become a single flame.

cards' gallery
Cards of JupiterIn Kier Ed.'s deck, the cards point to several signs of the Zodiac: Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, and indirectly Aquarius. As a whole, they go into a single direction, in a simple way, in matters where the interest is clearly definite. In general terms, the series also tells of giving up on something quite related to oneself and meaning a personal cost. Nevertheless, the cards also indicate earnings, achievements and benefits, even if something must be given in exchange for all of that.There's a kind of duty or obligation underlying the circumstances. It can be appreciated in several cards, because of the quite focused motion they point to, and also because of the allusion to The Apostolate (12), a card associated to the exalted Moon in Taurus. The sum of digits of almost all minor cards refer to 12 (3 is the number of Jupiter in the deck). That obligation is on the background, is not the first thing usually seen, and many times remains darkened by other situations, for instance good opportunities, abundance and high levels of energy at disposal.Several cards indicate nothing else is seen but the own purpose, and there will be the chance to shine in its pursuit (Sagittarius). It will happen sooner or later, more precisely in the first cards of the series, until Completion (48) is present. Then, expect for problems on the continous and fruitful path as it has been up to the moment. Because after reaching the goals, it comes a time for renewing and redesigning the future. And that's the moment when Jupiter meets problems or, better said, the costs of his life.With no questionings, all seems to be fine. But when it's about to change the path and purpose, when the rings of Saturn show the end of the past, it would be better to look for other cards... The best offers, the most convenient and benefitial option, will always be along with the planet, on his own path. Other definitions, other parameters, will be completely ignored or straightly subjugated. Out of his way, we'll find the worst offers, the less convenient options and all disadvantages for a life that insists in going on as it is.There might be people willing to stay on that path, in his conditionings. If not the case, they should take their own music somewhere else or prepare for being completely constrained to his empire.index

23. Entering the empty (productive cycle).
Changes won't be resisted. Obstructions will hardly remain for long, and those ones still on the way will disappear: inner forces won't be able to hold the weight of circumstances. Solid columns providing support will be weakened, and outer pressures may cause a collapse, since yang, light, active force, comes from the outer world. All of this may seem dangerous and, probably, there will be conflicts in the search of remaining still. But this is part of a process, a cycle about to come to an end. It won't be possible to fortify the situation or even find strenght to face the demands of a world coming closer each time. Now, things will fall down because of their own weight, as a tendency, in decidious forms, in visible deterioration. In the roots, bases or foundations, and even in thinking, there's nothing more than emptiness.

43. Resources are on the way in a time for implementation (productive cycle).
It's time to make decisions. But some variables might be out of sight, remaining unnoticed. Time and sensibility are required to become aware of them. A month to stay open to what may come from the outer world, thinking on exchanges to let in information, knowledge, sensations. Inside, there are no doubts or dangers, and both production and efficiency will be at best. An active tendency is in increment, counting on inner strenght to move forwards and be resolutive at the time of separating, diverging, differentiating or just making important decisions. Things will easily potentiate each other, to the point that activities may overpass the available means to handle or contain situations. Regulating will be a hard task although the increment of resources and actions is meant to make full moves.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are all mutable signs. They are related to transformative processes, and later they're in charge of those changes needed for the future about to come. When the Sun is in Sagittarius, the four mutable signs are developed in a very specific way.
To GEMINI, the month of Sagittarius is a great moment to receive advice and find the best possible answers, the more attractive zone, the option complementing the better. The twins will be particularly permeable, docile, receptive. Sagittarius will make them focus and, perhaps, they'll notice much more things than the usual. Expect for both unions and separations.To VIRGO, the archer's season is a chance to awaken to the own singular ways. Virgo uses to find self-definition depending on something more than itself, but now it could become generative and set bases according to the own thinking and view. A month to move beyond affiliations and start nurturing the own works. The fruit falls from the tree, and becomes a tree right then and there.To SAGITTARIUS, the own month is for making friends, attracting fans, convincing and getting loyalties. Also to make other people enthusiastic and notice almost immediately if people or places are adequate and available for the own purposes. It's also a time of clear crashes and rejections, since differences won't be tolerated. Days will be sunny or dark.To PISCES, the month of Sagittarius may be a great time to fall in love and also to fall in beautiful traps. It's the perfect season for relationships and finding no obstacles, enchanting with no suspicion, clouding perception and trusting blindly in appeareances. Life is in colors, everything flows and there's no need to worry about a thing. The only problem is self-deceit, so it would be good to check, for instance, if good intentions are real in concrete terms.index
Among Olympian deities, Sagittarius is associated to Artemis and Hestia: when desires are orders, and the main activity is ruling. About Artemis, read the previous newsletter delivery, since Greek deities rule two signs of the Zodiac: Artemis rules both Scorpio and Sagittarius.
Hestia, goddess of altars' fireShe was the first daughter of Chronos and Rhea, and Zeus' elder sister. She was also the first one to be devoured by her father, followed by her brothers and sisters, and the last one to be returned when Zeus made him to vomit them.When Poseidon and Apollo asked her in marriage, the goddess refused them both and wanted to stay as a virgen. Zeus approved her decision and ordered she would be the one to preside all sacrifices and all altars devoted to deities since then. The order reached the altars of cities as well as those at people's homes, so she ruled both civil life and private life (even the meals cooking). And, in front of mortals, the goddesses were ruled by her.Zeus also shared his throne with Hestia. Accordingly, he ordered she would receive the first and richest portion of all sacrifices, while she watched over the altars' fire. Zeus also ordered she was the first and last goddess to be invoked in prayers and sacrifices, in a similar way to those places she had been when devoured and expulsed by her father.She was also considered as the guardian of parliaments, where politicians pronnounce discourses. Ruling was her main activity, implemented in Olympus and cities, in both public and private areas. Considering this, it was an activity reaching all possible places, such as her father had reached it all, the primeval daughter with whom he had set death as a norm (no place to be).Hestia is also associated to architecture, more precisely to the art of building houses, since hospitality became her duty. This was the contrary to her father's acts: she made room to host life (fire), both the own (home) and those of others (cities). That's why she was also considered one of the goddesses of the Earth.
People born between 11.22 and 12.21.24 will establish a lot of relationships, developing many points of view and a tendency to bring balance. Collective experiences will have a big impact in their lives, which will deviate them and free them from persistent searches. They'll focus on keeping daily life in good terms, affinity and mutual acceptance. Some of them will fully go for causes or goals, some others will quickly explore big areas, and others will have to make a big effort to keep their thoughts in order. Those born between December 04th ad 10th will need to take some fresh air from themselves, since pursuing goals might be an obsessive pressure. But expect for more questioning and undecided Sagittarians since day 17th, who won't be easily influenced by other people anyway.
Northern HemisphereMoon's rising sign: Libra. Ruler: Venus.Great self-awareness, and hardly lack of energy to get impulsed and move forwards. Quite active and dynamic people since young age, they'll instantly know the best way or model for them.Besides, they'll gather the own interests with those of other people quite well. Even if finding differences, they'll know how to bring benefits to them or make them progress. This will be an early karma: productive and fruitful relations, both to themselves and the others. Differences won't push them apart, and many times the own presence will attract more than the expected.After Saturn's first return (around 29-30 years-old, approximately), there will be a time for long-lasting choices. Life will always involve one relationship at least, even if it brings along dependencies with it (more of the others than of their own). Common experiences will be very important: time itself will select environments, circles and closest people. Karma will be depleted in the remains not looking for it, and every time the trace of some truth emerges.
Southern HemisphereMoon's rising sign: Aries. Ruler: Mars.Birthdays of people quite inclined to mysticism and collective initiatives, and karma of pioneer activities. In just a few years, they'll reach deep states of mind and go through big inner changes.This is how they'll step ahead of their time, in echoes not always matching daily circumstances. But they won't decline on it and, instead, may become "obsessed" with specific interests, goals or aims.When this karma be depleted, around 29-30 years-old, something unusual to the evolutional axis and Sagittarius will happen: they'll move out of their path! They'll notice the distance between them and the others, especially in sentimental relationships, and will prefer to move closer instead of staying more distanced each time.These situations will happen after Saturn's first return and, contrary to what it may seem, it's a tendency alleviating future karma. Since those years, the emotional reconnection with couples, partners and related affinities will decrease density.index
Lunar months last approximately 29 days, and are very useful to consider short-term purposes. The beginning of the month is for setting tendencies, and the effects can be fully observed 15 days later. The rest of the month is for decreasing the initial tendency and freeing space for the new cycle to come.NEW MOON. The lunar month begins on December 01st with Moon and Sun at 9º Sagittarius. A good month to command and reject too many restrictions. Active forces and resolution will be at high levels, especially to face conflicts and go into battles. It would be better to postpone sentimental affairs for later.FULL MOON. Moon will shine on December 15th at 23º Gemini, with the Sun at 23º Sagittarius. Any difference might be drastically anuled. Watch demands coming from beloved ones or social relations. Deceits and traps may affect all people. Sentimental affairs are still going through unfavorable times.
Northern HemisphereCold MoonTransmutation is the key. Then, it would be a month to find a mate and focus on relations which, somehow, will surely be waiting for. It's also a good moment to give yourself another chance, especially by trying another way to be. These changes will be very important to match in tune and reach good agreements. The past, including the own interests, might not be repeated, although it depends a lot on the own disposition to move out of it, act differently, and find more empathetic, warm and deep echoes.
Southern HemisphereStrawberry MoonA month to get in contact with everyday people or environments, settle down and take some distance, especially from conflicts. The tendency is out of the usual ways, which have been going for more and always moving forwards in the own pursuing. But the month is for daring to reject all of that, not getting involved in conquests and, on the contrary, moving away from eventual urges. Many people will agree and do the same: united in deciding not to get involved in straight or a little bit aggressive actions.
I Ching and DNA
Lines forming I Ching's hexagrams, and combined, have been compared to the components and links of the DNA, a mollecule of big dimensions and basic for our life. Both I Ching and DNA are considered to be codes, and the elements grouped in blocks and sequences are decoded inside of a structure based on principles or laws. The synthesis of proteins leads organic life on Earth to growth, and hexagrams refers to growth either, although related to a superior order, such as Cosmos is.
Native-American Zodiac
The month of Sagittarius in the Northern Hemisphere is associated to the Owl, which flies silently with the wind. Of mysterious personality, people of the sign adore adventures although often take big risks. They protect nature meticulously, and usually love arts and educational activities. About their personal relationships, they're good listeners and prefer a partner who wings away periodically to just soar together.
The month of Sagittarius in the Southern Hemisphere is associated to the Deer, a sign of soft and humoristic characteristics that brings everyone into sync. When no one knows what to say, Deer does. In fact, people often invite it to parties just to have a good conversation.

Trees of Celtic tradition
Tree spirits are assigned according to lunar months, which begin at different dates than solar months do. When the Sun is in Sagittarius, Reed and Ruis spirits flourish. That of Reed is present during only three days of the archer's month, between November 22 and 24. The rest of the solar month belongs to Ruis tree. But the spirit of Reed tree has been present since before, when the Sun was in Scorpio, so you may find more about this spirit in the previous newsletter delivery dedicated to the sign of the scorpion.
People born between 11.25 and 12.23 are assigned to Ruis tree (called Elder in Gallic). The tree is associated to R character, which corresponds to the second phalanx of the little finger, and the latter is associated to Gemini and the ruler Mercury. It means death, transition, rebirth, continuation and evolution.
Of mostly ornamental crop, the name derives from the Greek term sambuke, a musical instrument made of young branches (hollowed). It was believed that the Devil would be seen if a Ruis tree was burnt, but if planting one near by, it would help to keep the Devil away. It's also known as the tree of Judas Iscariote, who hung himself from a Ruis tree.
It grows better in a bit humid, fertile and neutral soils, like valleys, humid woodlands, and near rivers and streams. It needs a lot of light, grows fast up to 23 to 29.5 ft and may live up to 50 years.
When young, the trunk has a plain and green cortex. And as it matures, it turns brown, with deep lenticels (foldings).
It's a branched bush of dense foliage, and dark and opaque leaves, softly dentated, hairy, oval-shaped and enlarged ending, growing in opposite pairs, in 3, 5 or 7 flakes.
Small hermaphrodite flowers form numerous compact groups. Of 5 white petals, they're attractive and perfumed. Fruits are small (from 0.19" to 0.23") and form numerous groups too, going from green to black as mature (there are more than 150 varieties of Ruis, so there are also red and blue berries).
