Sagittarius
As discussed in Chapter 4 of our publication, “When to Buy and When to Sell: Combining Easy Indicators, Charts, and Financial Astrology (available on Amazon), and our Sign Language – Introduction blog dated 3-24-24, the zodiacal signs are part of every individual and business birth chart, based on date and time of birth, incorporation, or first public trade date on an equity index.
As documented, the general/mundane zodiac begins with the sign of Aries (as the 1st house), with the houses then moving counter-clockwise around the zodiac wheel, until they reach the 12th house, Pisces, completing the cycle. We also discuss how the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th are the financially focused houses, though others can have minor influences. On our website we will periodically discuss these energies regarding the mundane/general collective and the U.S. Stock Market first trade date chart.
Today’s focus is the sign of Sagittarius, which resides in the 9th house of the zodiac (based on the Aries Rising chart). Sagittarius is a fire, mutable, male sign, ruled by the planet Jupiter. This signs’ traits include ambition and optimism. Sagittarius is a “fun-loving”-themed sign, symbolized by the Archer. As mentioned, whenever a specific sign “season” occurs, the Sun travels through that sign and brings its energies to the forefront. Sagittarius “season” runs from November 22 through December 21, in 2026.
Though the 9th is not generally a financially focused house, it does represent international trade/travel, and good fortune. The associated Sagittarius energies noted earlier also suggests market gains (historically positive time of year), though caution is still necessary with current economic conditions and global conflict. This year, the season closely follows the most recent Mercury AND Venus Retrogrades (both end mid-month), and the Mid-term Elections, which we have covered extensively in recent blogs.
This Sagittarius season also includes a few interesting planetary aspects, including Mars squaring Uranus for the first week of December, suggesting further sharp price moves and potential reversals. This will be followed by a Jupiter Retrograde (in Leo), which may put a damper on the normally seasonally strong Consumer Discretionary sector at holiday time.
The energies of the Uranus retrograde, located in the early stages of Gemini, which will not end until Feb 8, 2027, have made their presence felt, with violent price action and reversals, especially in the technology sector, with a return to June levels in recent weeks. Uranus is known as the great “disruptor” so watch for additional violent market swings and trend changes through Sagittarius, Capricorn, and part of Aquarius season.
The planet Venus (which represents money, fashion, and love), will enter the sign of Scorpio on December 4, mid-way through this season. Venus’ positive signifiers to luxury and self-pleasing purchase may clash with Mars’ (ruler of Scorpio) noted energies, resulting in continued push-and-pull equities price action.
Some sectors to watch for this Sagittarius season as the Sun and Mercury (Dec 6) occupy the sign at various times, include communications, travel, and consumer “discretionary” (during the holiday shopping season). Taking precautions when investing in this time period is suggested, as holding cash for future opportunities continues to be a consideration for the time being.
Sagittarius season is traditionally positive for equity markets, with holiday “spirit” combining with increased trader/investor volume. As mentioned, November has become the best month of the year for gains in recent decades, and usually carries through most of December, as seasonal strength has become the norm. The annual anticipated Santa Claus Rally and Quarter-End Window Dressing (discussed in previous blogs) loom at the end of Sagittarius season and the beginning of Capricorn season, which can also hopefully provide a boost, though, as we have discussed, current conditions do suggest continued volatility.
Finally, all birth/natal charts are unique, and every individual (or business) possesses its own set of planetary and sign positions in each house.
