Today

The sky: The Moon is a thin waxing crescent in Sagittarius, two days after the November 9 New Moon in Scorpio. Mercury and Venus are both retrograde; Mercury turns direct on November 13 and Venus a few hours later. Mars and Jupiter are drawing together in Leo, less than two degrees apart.

The Moon is in your sign, and with Jupiter, your ruler, close to Mars in fellow fire sign Leo, your mood is buoyant. Use it to start something small and personal: a habit, a playlist, a new route home. Two retrograde planets in signs you don't usually feel at home in suggest that patience with other people's slower pace will be needed later in the day.

Crystal of the day: Turquoise

Turquoise is one of the stones most often linked with Sagittarius, and in many traditions it is a traveler's stone. It suits a day when you want to move.

Turquoise: porous blue-green copper phosphate, Mohs 5 to 6. Crystal meanings are traditional beliefs, shared for reflection and fun.

Sagittarius at a glance

Sagittarius closes northern autumn. As a mutable fire sign, it is pictured as fire that travels: restless, searching, aimed at a distant target.

The Sagittarius temperament

The archer points an arrow at the horizon, and the Sagittarius sketch is all about range: optimistic, curious, frank, adventurous and fond of big questions. Jupiter, its ruler, is associated with growth and generosity, and fire adds enthusiasm.

The strengths are honesty, humor, open-mindedness and a gift for lifting a room. The blind spots are tactlessness, overpromising and a dislike of being tied down that can look like flakiness.

A Sagittarius Sun with a Capricorn Moon or Virgo rising may be much more careful than the archer. See the full picture in the birth chart calculator.

Sagittarius in love and friendship

Fire signs Aries and Leo are said to keep up with Sagittarius, and air signs Libra and Aquarius offer the conversation and freedom it needs. Traditional readings call these pairings lively and generous.

Virgo and Pisces, fellow mutable signs, can be lovely or bewildering: everyone adapts, but in different directions. Earth and water signs in general may want more routine or reassurance than Sagittarius naturally offers.

Gemini, the opposite sign, is a classic match of questions and answers, local and global. Both love to learn, talk and travel. Compare any pair in the compatibility calculator.

Sagittarius at work and play

The archetype is linked with teaching, travel, publishing, law, philosophy, outdoor work and anything international. The traditional advice: commit to fewer things and see them through.

For fun: a road trip, a new language, a big hike, a long debate over dinner.

Stones traditionally linked with Sagittarius

• Turquoise, tanzanite and zircon are the December birthstones in the modern American list. Tanzanite was added in 2002.
• Topaz, a November birthstone, often appears on Sagittarius lists too, especially blue topaz.
• Turquoise has been worn as a protective stone by travelers in several cultures, which fits the archer's love of the road.

Why your dates might differ

In 2025 the Sun entered Sagittarius on November 22 at 01:35 UT, which was November 21 in the Americas; in 2027 it will be November 22 at 13:16 UT. If you were born November 21, 22 or 23, the birth chart calculator settles it.

A small keepsake

If you like a physical reminder of your sign, a few tumbled turquoise stones are an easy place to begin, and topaz works just as well if it appeals more. Dyed howlite is often sold under gem names, so choose listings that name the mineral and say whether it is dyed or treated. You might keep a travel journal next to the stone as well, for the trips and big questions Sagittarians chase. Neither is needed to enjoy your horoscope.
