Solar Rhythm: Sun Enters Sagittarius 2024
As the sun changes its gate of awareness during this window, you may notice the subtle shift of elemental focus. The sun moves into one of the three fire signs, Sagittarius, and will stay there until the Winter Solstice, Dec 21. Sagittarius carries tremendous gifts and the need for responsible care any fire brings. The fuel of the expansive Sagittarius sun only comes once a year. Use this powerful energy to give the much-needed spark of life to the world that, until now, you have only dreamt of.
During significant change, responsible care becomes even more critical. Sagittarius fire expands. As a questing fire, it fuels expansion by searching and exploring new territory in various ways, internally and externally. Inwardly, it can help you seek the meaning of life or shine the light of consciousness on the truth within. Outwardly, expansion can be found in traveling to new places, increasing your knowledge in an area of study, developing a marketing plan to increase business, or consciously energizing your creations. More energy and expansion can be a powerful gift when applied to what you actually want to grow. However, when focused on an ineffective area or what you do not wish to create, it expands that very thing.
To burn, fire needs air, appropriate containment, and safety. Learning to work with Fire effectively means you must set your intention clearly, hold your focus carefully, create emotional safety, and choose suitable earthly containing parameters. Fire transforms and adds the energy to fuel your creations. If you focus on what you do not have, you will only experience more of what you feel could be improved. Instead, if you place your focus on all there is to be grateful for in your life, then the energy can shift toward what you are choosing to expand and create.
Especially for the holidays, if you focus on your expanding waistline or spending, you will experience more of both. Instead, focus on an effective eating plan that will allow you certain treats as well as helpful limits. When it comes to holiday plans and purchases, the more you can focus on gratitude for all you do have and on finding creative solutions to function within your budget (appropriate containment), the more fun and less stress you will experience. Sagittarius reminds us that expansion happens when we align our vision with gratitude and intentional action. Choose one or two key areas to focus your fire energy. 🔥 Personal Action Suggestions for Sagittarius Sun:

💻 Professional Action Suggestions for Sagittarius Sun:

Notice your business focus: if you’re focusing on the amount of work required, you’ll likely create more work. Instead, focus on the desired outcome, and that will grow.
Even small amounts of gratitude can shift emotional energy in a situation and lay a powerful foundation for creation. Notice where you need more gratitude in your business.

Fire says, “Get in motion.” Energize your body and business with movement.

Create a gratitude journal specifically for your financial achievements and abundance. The act of noticing what is going well can amplify future success.
Consider where you’re investing your energy in terms of money. Are you putting resources into what truly aligns with your long-term vision?
Explore new learning opportunities to expand your knowledge about wealth-building, whether through a course, book, or mentor.
Use the Sagittarius spark to ignite action on a financial goal, whether it’s starting an investment plan, saving for a dream, or paying down debt.
Set intentions for financial growth for the coming year, focusing on what you want to create rather than on perceived limitations.
Evaluate your spending habits during the holiday season. Can you find ways to expand joy and generosity while staying within your budget?
Fire brings the teachings of shamanic consciousness which is one of the core principles of fire found in the Elemental Forces of Creation Oracle. Developing this level of awareness flows in stages so I'll give you three levels of tools to support you.
1) The easiest tool for deepening your work with the elements is the oracle. It contains 18 core teachings of each element and is very simple to use. You can use it digitally on Deckible or have a physical deck. Here's what it says in the guide book about starting to work with Shaman's Way.
2) When you are ready to deepen your elemental wisdom read Nature's Creation Alchemy. It's full of both the ways the elements work, how to access them, it also contains lots of practical exercises for activation.
3) As you feel you have a good grounding in the core teachings you may want to expand your shamanic capacity with the book Spirit Hacking by Shaman Durek. I'm still reading it (on page 191) but have gleaned lots of really useful additional skills already!
No matter where you are on your journey of elemental discovery and developing your inner shamanic awareness, these tools will help you grow to the next level during this month of Sagittarius expansion.
Happy birthday to all of you born under the light of the Sagittarius sun! Expansive blessings, Lisa
