♐ Sagittarius
mutable fire · Sun in Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21, 2026 (computed from the ephemeris)
Sagittarius is the year aiming into the dark: mutable fire in the last full month before the winter solstice, ruled by Jupiter, the tradition's planet of scope. The archer's arrow is the sign's whole argument — meaning lives at a distance, and one must aim past the visible to reach it. Hence its classical territory: journeys, philosophy, law, everything that generalises.
At its best the style is candid, buoyant and genuinely broad-minded. The failure is scope without focus — the promise sized for a horizon, delivered at a doorstep — and a candour that rounds bluntness up to honesty. The thighs and hips are Sagittarius's body parts: the engine of the stride.
In the tradition
| Ruler | Jupiter |
| Exalted here | no planet |
| In detriment | Mercury (it rules the opposite sign) |
| In fall | no planet |
| Body-map | the thighs and hips |
Every fact above is read from the same dignity tables the chart engine uses — the reference cannot drift from the math.
The three decans
| Decan | Chaldean face | Triplicity ruler |
|---|---|---|
| 0°–10° | Mercury | Jupiter |
| 10°–20° | Moon | Mars |
| 20°–30° | Saturn | Sun |
Two systems, honestly both: the Chaldean faces walk the seven classical planets in slowest-to-fastest order continuously through all 36 decans; the triplicity decans hand each third to the ruler of the next sign of the same element.
The axis, and the sign's kin
Sagittarius faces Gemini across the wheel; the axis is about facts and meaning: the collected detail against the pattern it was collected for.
Same element (fire triad): Aries · Leo. Same modality (mutable cross): Gemini · Virgo · Pisces.
