Welcome to Sagittarius Season: The Time of Vision
As the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22nd, we emerge from Scorpio's depths into expansive exploration. Sagittarius season (November 22 - December 21) is a time of adventure, truth-seeking, and philosophical expansion. This is when late autumn transitions to winter, and we're called to broaden our horizons, seek meaning, and embrace optimism despite the darkening days.

- Expansion and exploration: Seeking new experiences and perspectives
- Truth and wisdom: Pursuing philosophical and spiritual understanding
